00:01Red Corne 24th Champion Team Prince Debits
00:06De Taguchi Ryus
00:08Apollo 55 is entering.
00:17New Japan Pro-Wrestling's IWGP Junior Tag Team Championship belts
00:22That belt had been across the ocean for six months.
00:28I finally got my precious belt back.
00:36I absolutely cannot afford to lose here.
00:40The tag team champions will be defending their title for the first time.
00:46These two cannot be contained on a global scale.
00:49Conquer the world and soar into space
00:54Men's ambition knows no bounds.
00:59Unlimited growth
01:01Apollo 55, Ryusuke Taguchi, Prince David
01:07The 24th IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions
01:11It is
01:19This is a conversion of the championship belt.
01:31For six months, it was in the hands of the TNA Motor City Machine Guns.
01:34The belt that was being passed
01:36Apollo 55 recovered it.
01:40And even before that title match
01:42We are the first challengers.
01:45These two said so.
01:47We will have a single match.
01:51Challenger Chin 177cm
01:5485 kg
01:55Taichi
01:57My hometown Hokkaido
01:58Can Taichi shine brightly?
02:02Milan Collection 80
02:05To the belt of glory
02:06My IQ of 220 is brilliant.
02:08Milan Collection 80
02:10Champion Chin 178cm
02:1290 kg
02:14Prince David
02:16With the wings that grow from its back, it soars through the northern sky.
02:19Prince David
02:21Taguchi Ryusuke
02:24Kamikata is one, his feelings are one.
02:26Apollo 55: Ryusuke Taguchi
02:32I finally got that belt back.
02:35And then comes his first title defense.
02:37Our opponent is our rival, Unione.
02:41Champion Apollo 55 conquers the world
02:45And then to space
02:47The first title defense before taking flight
02:57The gong has just been struck.
03:01Ryusuke Taguchi hypes up the crowd
03:04Her hips are wiggling back and forth.
03:06This movement This movement
03:09Her sexiness is irresistible
03:13The champion's spirits are immediately at their peak.
03:18Meanwhile, Taichi watched it all quietly.
03:21Taguchi went to the back
03:23Now Taichi takes the back.
03:27The one grabbing and twisting his arm is Taguchi Ryusuke.
03:31This time, Taichi took it back.
03:33Turn into a clot and grab the feet.
03:37Will your arm be grabbed or immobilized?
03:38I managed to slip away.
03:40A struggle for the back
03:41The battle on the field continues.
03:43At this point, both sides stood up.
03:47Commentator Yamazaki
03:49This Apollo GoGo 2
03:51This is a tag team we've fought against many times to get here, right?
03:54I agree
03:55It's like they understand each other's playing styles.
04:00In a sense, it's a way of doing the opposite.
04:01Taking the initiative is
04:04I think it's going to come down to tactics.
04:08Since they both know each other's moves
04:11How do we take that and strategically connect it?
04:14Taguchi does not touch the rope.
04:16He grabbed my hair.
04:17Taichi is grabbing my hair.
04:24He grabbed her hair and tried to swing her towards Taguchi's rope, but stopped him.
04:28I did
04:29But this time, Taguchi swung the baton decisively.
04:30He dodges the front kick as he comes back.
04:32Returning from the rope
04:34I dodged that one too, Taichi
04:35I dodged him as he was coming back.
04:38Straight and Frankenstein
04:41No, Mr. Shibata
04:43Looking at the current situation, it seems that both sides
04:45It feels like they're able to anticipate what's going to happen next.
04:48I agree
04:48You have to think two, three, or even four moves ahead.
04:51It's difficult to get into our own pace.
04:53Right?
04:54Taguchi's signature dropkick
04:56And then, towards Taichi who is below Ging
04:58Taguchi won't fly, he won't fly.
05:00This is a topfeint.
05:03And then there's this hip shaking.
05:04It's hip shaking.
05:07Tsuru Ryo-san, something about Taguchi-san
05:09My hairstyle has also changed.
05:10I'm creating my own rhythms one after another.
05:11That's how it looks to me.
05:12That's right.
05:13Today,
05:15Back when they were Super Junior.
05:18Right thigh
05:19I'm in a bit of pain.
05:20That's a bit of a concern, though.
05:22But the combination...
05:24It's really great.
05:26And then they touched each other.
05:28Next up, Prince David
05:30And Milano Collection AT
05:31It comes inside the ring.
05:33They grappled in the center of the ring
05:37Prince David swings the rope.
05:39Where to come back
05:39Shoulder Tackle Milano
05:41Step over
05:43Should I take him from behind and roll him up?
05:45David held back
05:46Just from above
05:48No, it slips right out.
05:50This time, I'll jump over it.
05:52This one flies too
05:53intense
05:54And the swift battle continues.
05:58And now it's Taguchi's turn to be a stepping stone
06:01Back elbow
06:02Now it's David's turn to be the stepping stone.
06:04Taguchi's Missile Kick
06:07And the part where Taichi came out
06:08Immediate interception
06:10We'll face them together.
06:11Taguchi goes first with a low dropkick.
06:13David followed suit.
06:16No, no, Mr. Nozaki
06:18This tag team work of Apollo Gogo
06:20In the midst of very complex movements.
06:22They were so precise in their execution.
06:24They're in perfect sync.
06:26They have truly continued to grow steadily since their formation.
06:29Apollo GOGO
06:30They took on some kind of belt, and their growth also increased dramatically.
06:34That's how it feels to me.
06:35Yes, I think they have confidence in their own fighting spirit.
06:38That's right.
06:40TNA Worldwide
06:42The belt that had crossed the sea
06:44I got the belt back.
06:4724th IWGP Junior Tag Team Champion Apollo GO
06:50GO
06:53Ryusuke Taguchi is putting Milano through his wringer.
06:56Neutral corner
06:58And then full diagonal
07:00Flying towards Milan
07:02Floating gently on the apron side
07:04Milan has come back with a swift counterattack.
07:07And then I went from the rappelling
07:10Frankensteiner, one step
07:14No, that was really dangerous.
07:16They took away your power.
07:18I never imagined they'd make a move there.
07:23Taichi has really been doing the Frankensteiner lately
07:26I'm confident about it.
07:27I didn't expect them to make a move there.
07:30And this is the ring name that Taichi had been using for many years: Ishikari Taichi
07:34I changed it.
07:35Shibata-san, from there Taichi also directed something towards you,
07:38It also leaves an impression, doesn't it?
07:40Each player is improving day by day, aren't they?
07:43All the players are still in their growth phase.
07:47And then Milano delivered a low dropkick to the knee.
07:52Taguchi took one hit and let out a loud cry.
07:55It's tough because it's from the front, isn't it?
07:58There was nowhere for the force to escape.
08:00And the Dragons Crew
08:02I'm going to destroy your left knee.
08:04And Taichi came in a little bit.
08:06But I've fought this many times.
08:08This battle has a different feel to it than before, doesn't it?
08:11And then, with no escape route, Unione's tornado
08:17There was absolutely no way for the force to escape during the twist.
08:22Taguchi's face showed an expression of agony.
08:25The two members of Unione
08:29As expected, today's battle over these legs is
08:32This could be one of the key points.
08:35Now we've assembled the soccer ball.
08:37And chest stomping
08:38Unione is taking a very aggressive approach.
08:42Exactly last September
08:45I am in Kobe
08:48There was something called the Invisible Fist Sealing technique, wasn't there?
08:51At that time, in this commentary booth
08:54You criticized it, didn't you?
08:56Then, suddenly,
08:57It's changed so much, hasn't it?
08:58At that time, it was Taichi and Hirano Collection
09:01It was a time when the two ATs were at odds with each other.
09:03That's right.
09:04We had a battle that was a bit like a variety show.
09:07I did criticize it a little,
09:09Such criticism won't work anymore.
09:12They put on a really great game, don't they?
09:14And here too, Taichi
09:16Did he aim for Taguchi's knee?
09:20From Half Boston Club
09:23Does this mean it will cause even more damage to the knee?
09:26Yamazaki-san, this shape is
09:26Yes, and Milan is now
09:28They're really dragging it out.
09:30And then he starts stomping on the knees.
09:33Keep the referee distracted.
09:36I did help, though.
09:38No, it's a bit tough for Taguchi.
09:40Taguchi himself says his leg is fine.
09:43It's the usual thing.
09:44There were some confident comments like that, but
09:47Up to this point, the expression of concentrated fire on the knees
09:53And now Milano Collection AT
09:56Let's narrow down the joint locks.
09:59What's wrong with this, I wonder?
10:01It's the same on the deformed foot.
10:06Milan Collection AT
10:10Italian Collection
10:12I have a variety of joint locks.
10:19And here too, they continue to inflict unnecessary pain on their knees.
10:23Milano, in particular, is known for its joint locks.
10:25New Japan wrestlers often do things that we've never seen before, don't they?
10:30Even Taguchi
10:31How to deal with such techniques
10:34There may be some things you haven't thought of yet.
10:35In response, Taichi said
10:37They charge straight at each other, as if filled with hatred.
10:40I kick out at the count of 2.
10:43Unione relentlessly inflicts pain on Taguchi's leg.
10:47Because they are opponents we have fought against for so long
10:50I know both the good and the bad.
10:53I know exactly where to attack.
10:56The challenger completely took control of the pace, didn't he?
11:01Then, throw Taguchi into the neutral corner.
11:04Here, Taguchi bumps into him shoulder to shoulder.
11:05The second low corner and the missile kick were dodged.
11:09Taichi easily dodged this one too.
11:11The spring just doesn't work, does it?
11:14forever
11:14This time it flew away
11:16He was always attacking the left side, wasn't he?
11:19The right side was also damaged, in front.
11:21So I'll try both.
11:24They probably want to make it unusable.
11:26I won't let them touch this spot either.
11:28Taichi, but Enzuigiri
11:31How can we somehow get this to David?
11:33Taguchi's right hand reached
11:35Prince Devi jumped and used Taichi as a springboard.
11:38tt
11:39I'll be taking over Mila's collection.
11:41Then he throws Taichi into the neutral corner.
11:45It's initially thrown to the apron, but
11:46I'll go visit them from there.
11:48Ends Yes
11:49And then, immediately from the top, a missile kick
11:52The attacks won't stop.
11:53The movement won't stop.
11:56From behind, however, Mira's collection AT
11:59I'll shake Prince David.
12:01I dodged it.
12:02Spin around
12:04We're about to confront Mira.
12:05Here, it's the opposite: kick.
12:06I sandwiched it.
12:07And then he swings the rope and comes back.
12:10I'll meet them both with a dropkick.
12:12He chased him out of the ring.
12:14So, are you aiming for that?
12:16Is David going?
12:18With a slightly hesitant expression on his face
12:20I did it from the top rope.
12:23It was tall.
12:25It had good distance.
12:27Towards the runway
12:28David used a top rope
12:31Plancha sightseeing.
12:34No, Yamazaki-san
12:35That height, right?
12:38He has really great physical abilities.
12:41I also have flashes of inspiration.
12:42That kind of courage is truly admirable.
12:47Milan had that flash of inspiration
12:49He said that it's the most important thing to be careful about.
12:50He declared a brainbuster here.
12:52Will David aim from above the cutting edge?
12:56But this time, Taichi turns the tables
12:57What will happen in Milan?
13:01He hoisted David onto his shoulders.
13:04Then Milano climbs onto the top rope.
13:06Taguchi intercepted them here.
13:08And now it's David's turn
13:11I gave him a piggyback ride.
13:12To Taichi
13:13But Milan interfered.
13:15I was aiming for a plancha jump.
13:18And now it's Taichi's turn to lift him up.
13:21Unione
13:27However, this time Taguchi delivered a missile kick.
13:30No, the battle just won't stop.
13:31Triangle jump plancha
13:34Taguchi has a central barb
13:38The offense and defense happen in an instant.
13:40It will change
13:42Which side is on the offensive?
13:44This battle offers no room for even a moment of relief.
13:47Taguchi's leg was attacked just now.
13:51He was holding his knee a little when he landed.
13:54He's still limping for a moment, looking like he's in pain.
13:57I also saw that kind of behavior.
13:59But this time, Taichi
14:01Put it back inside the ring.
14:05And David
14:06I once spoke to a fan.
14:09I climbed onto the top rope.
14:10Diving Foot Stamp
14:12It pierced deep into his side.
14:14First title defense is still a long way off.
14:17That was intense.
14:18My shoes really dug into my feet.
14:21It was as if I was suffocating for a moment.
14:22Diving Footstomp
14:24And will they aim for a Prince's Throw?
14:26Taichi
14:27I struggled to stop it.
14:29And the details of the swing
14:32I impaled the mat with my brainstem.
14:34David's body bounced.
14:38Upside down from the top of the head
14:40And then the traction kick made a dry sound.
14:42It resonates
14:43I'll return the count at 2.
14:47Now Milano is back in the ring.
14:51And I will support Taichi.
14:54Taichi took the back
14:56German Flux
14:57How about keeping the count the same?
14:58I kick out at the count of 2.
15:01It went in perfectly just now, didn't it?
15:02It was fast, wasn't it?
15:05Headfirst, upside down
15:06Prince David was slammed onto the mat.
15:08And then he dodged the kick.
15:10Then he takes the back and rolls it up.
15:11I'll return the count at 2.
15:13I went for a quick, deceptive approach.
15:15I just got back
15:16Frankenstein
15:18It fell at a rather unpleasant angle.
15:19Count 1
15:20I kick out at the count of 2.
15:22And then to the back of the head
15:23A high kick is coming.
15:25David then delivered a high kick.
15:29However, David, who had just thrown the ball, was also sprawled out on the ring.
15:32I didn't see that kick.
15:35It was right after he turned his back and ran off.
15:39The Frankensteiner is coming before that, right?
15:43It might sound strange to say that it has a beautiful shape, but...
15:49It fell in a way that was different from usual.
15:53And now both parties touch.
15:55Taguchi and Milano in the ring
15:58He dodged Take's dropkick.
16:00And then I dodged that one too.
16:01Taguchi landed a dropkick.
16:05No, it's a battle of wits between you and Mr. Kakuryo.
16:07That one too
16:07That's right.
16:09And Taguchi got up half a beat faster and kicked.
16:14Which one reads first?
16:15Which side will launch the first attack?
16:17Brainbuster
16:19I won't miss, I'll try again.
16:20Two shots in a row
16:22Three consecutive Amigos attacks are not worth taking advantage of.
16:25Will Milan return the favor?
16:28He held on and landed on his back.
16:30Take the back
16:31This time, Milan stepped on Taguchi's foot.
16:34However, when I returned...
16:36Taguchi intercepts
16:37I'll drop it in front.
16:40Lifted up and dropped forward
16:41And then count up
16:42I kicked out at the count of 2.
16:45Taguchi has come in for the cut.
16:46Count 2
16:48Taguchi's legs were a little wobbly just now.
16:53It seems like things have improved a bit, doesn't it?
16:55I see
16:58Milan dodged this one.
16:59And then the Landhouse Kick
17:01Milan's signature move
17:03But I won't let them go.
17:04Take the back
17:05How's the count?
17:06How's the count?
17:07Count 2
17:09I kicked out at the count of 2.
17:11I used it all up today.
17:12Taguchi-kun
17:13That was an unexpected attack, wasn't it?
17:15Milan was a bit flustered, too, wasn't it?
17:18Milano fought against Apollo Gogo
17:21- has also become stronger
17:22That was the impression I got.
17:24In that sense, they might be rivals.
17:26We have helped each other grow.
17:28It was created through friendly competition and mutual improvement.
17:31These two teams
17:33New Japan's methods
17:34The battle for the belt
17:37Taichi puts his foot on the second rope.
17:41Will Taguchi forcefully lift him up here?
17:46But Taichi will go.
17:47Taichi climbs onto the top rope.
17:50David came from behind.
17:53This time, David put his foot on the second rope.
17:56Taguchi is trying to break free from Taichi's attack.
18:00No, Milan has arrived.
18:01Milan has arrived
18:02Milano
18:04Sandin is slammed into the bat.
18:08I think this was the most damaging thing for Taichi.
18:10But Milan is standing there.
18:13Count 2
18:14Count 2
18:15Was that the most damaging blow for Taichi?
18:18It looked like Taichi got hit in the back of the head by a hawk.
18:22But it was Taguchi who fell from the top, right?
18:24Taiguchi is also having a tough time.
18:27And David is also writhing in agony below the ring.
18:29Taichi gets up and delivers a jumping elbow.
18:32Then Milano spins around and delivers a back elbow.
18:36Taichi is the frontman
18:39We'll grab Taiguchi's face at the big booth.
18:43And then there's the combined technique with Milano.
18:46Milan turns
18:47Milan turns
18:48Milan naturally revolves around Taiguchi
18:50Swing Debit
18:52The combination of the two
18:54Combine the strengths of the two of you
18:57Finally
18:57Finally
18:58Unione is on its way to achieving its long-cherished dream of winning the belt.
19:01Can you stand up?
19:02waiting
19:04Waiting for Taiguchi to stand up
19:06Unione's Super Strap Results
19:11Got into the ball
19:12Finally the belt
19:13This is a David Cut.
19:15This is a David Cut.
19:17Champion Tuck also faces his first title defense.
19:19I'm not going to give in yet.
19:21Almanish Exchange
19:23We added a twist.
19:24This time it's a count of 2
19:27Taguchi was the one who returned it this time as well.
19:30Unione, however, on the belt
19:33So you've finally reached out with your fingertips?
19:37Milano is Dodons' slawn
19:39Taguchi went to where he was positioned.
19:41Countout into the pole
19:44Diving Footstomp
19:45I cut it using a diving foot stomp.
19:49We went to see the stars.
19:50However, he kicked towards David's fast throwing arm.
19:54Lander's kick is dodged.
19:56I dodged David as he was coming back.
20:00I went at this timing.
20:02And then Malmekomi in bewildered Milan
20:04Count three Count three
20:09David's No Touch Tobegon
20:11What happened?
20:13Confused Milan
20:14Taguchi's instant marmalade
20:18Milan's attention was a little out of it, you know.
20:20That's right.
20:21For a moment, Milano seemed to be preoccupied with what was happening outside the ring.
20:25No, just Yamazaki-san
20:26Taguchi didn't miss that moment either.
20:28I agree
20:28Those two really work together.
20:31If you say this, then this will happen.
20:32Without making eye contact with each other.
20:36I think that's something only a tag team champion could do.
20:40yes
20:41These junior tag team champions
20:44A moment of inspiration
20:47Milan before the match
20:48We have to be careful of David's flashes of inspiration.
20:51That's the kind of conversation we were having.
20:53But David had a sudden flash of inspiration.
20:55Taguchi Ryusuke was involved in that.
20:57Apollo GoGo
20:59A tag team truly on a cosmic scale
21:03That opposing team was really
21:05We could be fooled too.
21:07For a moment, I was like, "What just happened?"
21:09That's right.
21:10Well, David's no-touch tope con hiatus
21:12I've seen this several times before.
21:15That leaping power, height, speed
21:18Of course, I had that in mind.
21:21I never expected it to come out at that timing.
21:24Apollo GoGo continues to evolve.
