D'Courage vs. Gold Class at Korakuen should whip hard. Looks like a very good start of the year card.

There is no way High-End is surviving this, yes?

Z-Brats has gotten too strong though, especially after the ISHIN angle so I wonder what they'll do here

It'd be a real upset if Z-Brats are gone, yeah. The only way it makes sense is if the recent Hulk/KAI tension pays off in one costing the other the match.

Dragon System heel units have only lost disbands matches twice, and one of those was “throwing the match to expel members and then reform.”

High End is probably the biggest underdog in disbands match history the more I think about it.

High End is probably dying (as it should), with some Hulk/KAI stuff that leads to a Z-Brats shake up playing out the next night.

Free opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49DYvAGHE_U

New DG Future rookie is Daiki Yanagiuchi. He was the one who delivered the box with Ben-K's challenge to Yuki. He was in the 2022 class with Junior/Kato/Nagano/Nishikawa, but he was injured for a few months so he couldn't debut yet. So we still don't have any 2023 kids yet.

Main is elimination pin/sub, Diamante is out rehabbing his knee, so it'll be 4v5.

Nagano's got a new soccer gimmick. It kinda works?

now that Minorita has graduated from pin-eater status, they needed a new one. BxB Hulk fits right just in.

I had no idea Naito's family owns a restaurant. Might explain a lot of things. Also Kenoh wants LIJ... to go to NOAH? so he could beat them up on a regular basis?

Not sure what would be funnier, Kenoh beats Naito but the rest of Kongoh lose, leading him to being furious(er) at them.... or Kongoh all win their matches then Kenoh loses to Naito :allears:

Pretty good, wasn't the toppest of top tier but wasn't actively bad or boring. Had a good laugh when Minoru Tanaka entered, got a guy in a cross arm breaker and was immediately swarmed by 10 guys who pinned them both

Just to clarify this is actually a “family restaurant”, which is just a type of restaurant in Japan and not Naito’s restaurant. It’s the same restaurant that Naito always takes Okamoto to and then does a runner to stick him with the bill

Oh, & Kotaro Suzuki's first match in AJPW since 2019, that'll be nice.
