(NOAH) Omori's choice is "Kobashi", NO FEAR disbands!
(Issue No. 999)
EXCEEDING OUR DREAMS 2000
25th September - Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium
Victory will build a new order, the "old" will be eliminated.
"I will never forgive you!" Akiyama, Takayama and Shiga rub Kobashi the wrong way...
Akiyama and Takayama have joined forces to eliminate the hierarchy established by the outdated Four Heavenly Kings generation. Their firm beliefs and actions have garnered support from fans, and have also given them great hope for Noah's future. Since their first move at Ariake on August 19th, it could be said that they had already been looking to the future since the inauguration, and up until now, things have gone almost exactly as the two had planned.
However, there was one man who disagreed with their ideas and took action to dampen their spirits. His name was Takao Omori.
Although Omori had made it clear at Ariake on September 16th that he had no intention of working with Akiyama and the others, Omori once again made his feelings clear today, and furthermore, he indicated that he intends to work with Kobashi from now on. As reported in last week's issue, Omori had also teamed up with Kobashi in Kyoto the day before. However, this was merely a match that was arranged for them, and he had not actively chosen Kobashi. However, in Osaka, Omori showed that he was determined to work with Kobashi, and he made his move immediately after the main event. Akiyama had caught Kobashi in a figure-four head lock, while Takayama pinned Rikio. At that moment, Omori, who had run to the ring, charged towards Takayama and delivered an axe bomber. He then ran over to the fallen Kobashi and spoke to him as if concerned for a long-time tag partner.
"The world of the Four Pillars, of which you hate the most, is still there. You are saying that we should destroy it, but you don't understand anything".
Takayama was angry with Omori, and said that as he had no idea what he should do now, NO FEAR was effectively disbanded. Akiyama also had the same impression of Omori as Takayama. "He doesn't understand. He probably doesn't want to work with me because of the times and other issues, but from my point of view, there are other things he needs to do first. The order is wrong".
Omori's only comment was, "Ask Kobashi over there." Therefore, it is impossible to say for sure what the true intention behind this action was. What is clear now is that the purely generational conflict that Akiyama and others initially envisioned is no longer valid. Nevertheless, Akiyama, remaining firm in his aggressive stance, touched on this point and said, "If anyone is going to compete with our team, then it has to be them (Kobashi & Omori), but it won't take long for us to achieve our goal."
Noah will finally enter a full-scale series from October. There is no doubt that the clash between Akiyama & Takayama and Kobashi & Omori will be the main focus of the opening. The answer to who will take the initiative should become clear.
"I will never forgive Jun Akiyama. This is the end of the Kenta Kobashi of the past," Kobashi, who will be teaming up with Omori, vows to make a comeback with these words.
Will chaos lead to a world without the Four Heavenly Kings? The next series, [NAVIGATION], will kick off on October 7th at Differ Ariake.
Picture notes
"When I thought about it, that team would rather have someone laugh with Kobashi-san, than win the prize. We're moving forward. Our unity is already strong" ~ Jun Akiyama.
Weekly Pro felt that Takeshi Rikio's "main event appearance was completely off putting", and commented on his bear hug, followed by brainbuster and then throw to Akiyama.
Noah's first foray into Osaka was a huge success, with tickets sold out, with a crowd of over 1,800 people gathered. This event, along with the Kyoto event the day before was broadcast on MBS for 90 minutes from 1:05am on October 2nd. This was Noah's first terrestrial broadcast, and future broadcasts are also being considered.
