They work a side headlock early. Ibuki stars flurry slapping her on her back. Yuko comes back and hair throws her then stands on her in the corner. Yuko then camel clutches her. They trade chops for chest forearms.

She then grounded dragon sleepers her but Hoshi hits the ropes. Hoshi hits a spinning double chop for as the time limit nears. Then then rolls under her in a neat pin combiation for the win.

This wasn't bad at all and was one of the better things Yuko was involved in. Hoshi definitely carried the match with her usual energy and good chops and Yuko did okay as the heel against her.

The finish was a little botched but this was good. It was fast paced. Yappy did good as the hoss here and they had some creative spots. It was only under 10 minutes as well.

Saran vs Tsukushi Haruka

Saran is wearing the same gear as Tsukushi. Tsukushi will be retired within 3 weeks.

Saran wristlocks her, Tsu rolls out then Saran followers her. Tsu flips on the ropes out of a wristlock and Saran copies her. Tsu steps on her foot and gives the "I don't know what happened" gesture to the crowd then hair throws her. Tsu tries to double stomp Saran's hands and misses then Saran does it to her and does a flurry of them. She then kicks her over.

Saran then nails Ibuki Hoshi on the outside and runs up her back to crossbody Tsu against the bottom rope.

Saran dropkicks her against the ropes then crossbodies her off the top for 2. Tsu double stomps her for 2. Saran tries some roll-ups and gets her for a close 2. Tsu then reverses her roll-up attempt for 2. Tsu hits a top rope double stomp on Saran and beats her for the win.

This was a great match. If you follow Ice, you'll appreciate it more than if you don't. Saran is kind of Tsukushi's student and she copied a lot of Tsukushi's stuff here. It was fast paced, they were both jerks to each other and Saran was great here as the babyface going for the win. One of the best matches that has been done on the dojo shows so far and a real fun one. I really liked this.

Nao Ishikawa and Rina Amikura vs Kaho Matsushita and Tsukasa Fujimoto

Rina and Nao have some new music for their princess team and it's pretty good.

Rina asks for a weird handshake to start. Tsuka and Nao do a test of strength then Tsuka rides Nao's bridge as she bridges back. She then sits on her as she bridges. Rina grabs Tsuka against the ropes and Rina/Nao miss a double falling splash. Kaho throws Nao by the hair then Nao does it back.

Tsuka does a nice octopus stretch on Rina. Both Rina and Nao get tied up in the ropes then Tsuka and Kaho rub their faces with dirty towels. They then dropkick both in the back.

Rina backbreakers Tsuka then Tsuka is put in reverse tree of woe and splashed. Rina rolling sentons Tsuka for 2 then dies a nice side suplex. Nao gets in and hits some crossbodies on Tsuka. Nao takes some 1v2 offense including a double dropkick. Tsuka goes up top and is slammed down then Nao elbow drops her for 2. The two trade forearms then Tsuka double chops her down.

Kaho then suplexes her for 2 at 15 minutes.Kaho then hits a falcon arrow and wins it.

This wasn't bad at all. It went a few minutes longer than needed but Rina and Nao looked okay here and Kaho got some nice shine.

The roster then sang happy birthday to Yuuki Mashiro and gave her a cake.

Overall thoughts: A very good dojo show. Saran vs Tsukushi is a must see if you watch these. It was one of Saran's best matches yet and a very good match logic wise. I liked the three way, the main was fine and the opener was good.
