This is a Pure-J Dojo show. The camera is on the 2nd level and it's supposed to be 1080p, but the picture is pixelated.

Chie Ozora vs Miyuki Takase

They fight over a wristlock to start. MT gets her down and celebrates, then gets rolled up. Chie then celebrates and gets pulled down while MT poses. Chie runs up the ropes while grabbing MT's arm and MT just pulls her arm away and she gets down.

Chie gets tied up in the ropes and gets dropkicked in the back. MT single leg crabs her then pulls her head with the other hand. Chie gets thrown into the buckles and walks the bottom rope to avoid getting hit. Chie then walks the top rope and armdrags her.

MT hits a punch off the 2nd rope and goes up top. Chie pulls her down by the head then 2nd rope dropkicks her for 2. Chie bridges out of a chop then puts her in cattle mutilation. MT gets out and Chie top rope shoulders her. Chie gets her fisherman's suplex reversed and is suplexed.

MT hits some chops then neckbreakers her for 2. MT hits a rolling fireman's carry then 2nd rope legdrops her for 2. Chie then hits a fisherman's suplex for another close 2. MT hits a big powerslam then a twisting brainbuster for the win.

I really didn't like the failed rope walk spot. It just kind of exposed how dumb of a spot it is. I thought it went a few minutes too long and I thought they kicked out of too much.

Rydeen Hagane vs Momo Tani

Momo hits some forearms to start and then rolls Rydeen up when she tries to slam her. Momo works on her own, wrapping it around the ropes then Rydeen hip throws her. Rydeen then single leg crabs her. Momo hits the ropes and Rydeen stands on her then butt drops her back. rydeen hits a big slam and splash for 2.

Momo gets put in a camel clutch and then gets leg scissored. Rydeen puts her feet in Momo's back and stretches her. Momo gets tied up in the ropes then Rydeen splashes her. Momo comes back with a bulldog and some double knee drops to the back, then poses on her.

Momo hits some stiff knees to the chest but takes a hard backbreaker over the knee. Momo hits more stiff knees and knee drops her chest and shoulders in the corner. Momo hits Danno O'Mahoney's roll and tries for an armbar then ends up hitting a meteora through the ropes on Rydeen. Momo takes a stiff superkick to the gut then a spinning heel kick. she comes back with a hurricanrana for 2.

Momo goes up top and gets slapped then Rydeen blocks her sunset bomb attempt and elbows her off the 2nd rope for 2. Rydeen hits a stiff lariat and a sliding lariat for 2. Rydeen then squashes her with a top rope splash for the win.

Momo probably should have gotten less offense in and Rydeen should have gotten more, but this was a good match. Momo hit stiff knees all throughout and actually looked believable against the much bigger Rydeen. 

 Chie Ozora and AKARI vs Hanako Nakamori and KAZUKI

Legit, I don't know if I've ever seen Kazuki without Rydeen. Chie is pulling double duty here.

Hanako and Akari mat wrestle then Hanako takes corner dropkicks from both opponents. She then gets double tripped and double dropkicked, then double armbarred, which Kazuki breaks up.

Chie avoids Hanako's leg sweeps and dropkicks her in the chest. Kazuki gets in and throws Chie around by the hair. She double reverse armbars her and pushes her leg on the back of Chie's head until Akari breaks it up. Chie monkey flips Kazuki then Akari gets in and dropkicks her for 2.

Kazuki armbars Akari but Akari hits the ropes. Akari gets tied up in the ropes and Hanako kicks her then pushes her head with her foot. Chie gets back in and she rolls up Hanako into a double stomp. Chie trades chest forearms for kicks with Hanako then Chie dropkicks her off the top for 2.

Momo hits a release fisherman's suplex then kicks Chie across the chest for 2. All four girls get in and Hanako's team does corner attacks on their opponents. They then sandwich them with knees and kicks and pose. Kazuki puts Chie on the middle rope and knee drops down on her onto Akari below.

Akari hits a stiff missile dropkick from the top onto Kazuki then pump kicks her. Kazuki running knee's Akari then backdrops her. Hanako gets some kicks in on Akari and Chie interrupts her when she goes up top, which leads to Akari pulling her off the top. Akari does a rolling kneebar and Kazuki breaks it up.

Hanako takes a northern lights suplex for 2 then Kazuki TKO's Akari.Hanako leg drops her from the 2nd rope but Chie breaks it up. Akari tries some pin attempts on Hanako but can't win it. She then tries a lariat for 2. Hanako comes back with a high kick and a shining wizard for another close 2. Akari takes a Kazuki knee then another Hanako shining wizard for the Hanako and Chie win.

They went a few minutes longer than needed to but it was a decent main event. Chie held up her end despite this being her second match of the day and as usual, Hanako showed why she is the top girl in the promotion. There wasn't any real story here but the action was fast.

Overall thoughts: I thought 2 of the 3 matches were okay here. I don't think it is anything you really need to see but it was fine for what it was.
