00:01The semi-finals for today will now begin.
00:04DDT Universal Championship Match
00:07This is a log technique in position goal.
00:14DDT Pro-Wrestling
00:16Tokyo Kōrakuen Hall Tournament
00:19Sesting Harvest 2026
00:22Autumn Pro Wrestling Harvest Festival
00:25This will be the semi-final.
00:29I will step into the ring as a challenger.
00:34GM Acting Cyberfight Reporters Agency
00:37And above all, as a professional wrestler
00:43I got the Universal belt from Ryusuke Taguchi
00:48Can we be optimistic?
00:49182 pounds
00:51Atito
00:53Atto
00:59I have experienced the DDT Extreme Championship three times in the past.
01:03But the Universal Championship is still
01:06I've never worn it around my waist.
01:08If he wins, he will win the DDT Universal Championship.
01:10This will be my first experience.
01:36Japanese professional wrestlers
01:39He successfully defended his title for the third time against his opponent.
01:45And today, the DDT Cola Ken Hall event
01:49This will be a series of consecutive title defenses.
01:54Red Cola 22nd Generation DDT Universal Auger
01:59New Japan Pro Race Miyagi Prefecture Iwamura PR Ambassador
02:03Takashi Taguchi, who is three years older.
02:09I am Takase Taguchi, the 22nd DDT Universal Champion.
02:14Referee, Basic Ambassador, and Championship Match
02:17It's a change from champion to belt.
02:21Challenger Akihito's expression is very serious.
02:26It's filled with tension.
02:29He has a nice face, doesn't he?
02:30Yes, this will be my first time competing for a single title in a long time.
02:35They haven't really shown that kind of behavior until now.
02:38That's right. So after winning the Extreme title in 2024...
02:42Aside from Iron Man, I don't think there are any others.
02:44I'll be trying out Ueno in 24 years.
02:52Not my own desires
02:56If it will benefit DDT
02:59With that vision in mind, Challenger A stepped forward.
03:02It's Tsuto
03:08If champion Taguchi makes a sudden move like this, he will react.
03:13I was aiming for an ankle hold,
03:17Akihito also unleashed this body slam, as expected.
03:20Let's touch it. This time Akihito is aiming for Uncle.
03:24Yes, Nagano-san
03:25Both ankle holds Oh my and ank
03:27Ru
03:28Yes, it's one of my specialties.
03:30Seriously, both of them are masters of attacking the opponent's legs.
03:34yes
03:36What are your thoughts on this match, Mr. Yoshida?
03:38Well, it's also a battle between adults, you know.
03:42I have absolutely no idea how things will unfold, so I'm really looking forward to it.
03:46And what's more, Taguchi's case only happened yesterday.
03:49Yes, that's right.
03:56We'll target their legs in the same way.
04:01Well, it won't be that easy for Taguchi and Akihito.
04:05Nagano-san probably won't fall for a feint.
04:08This really requires some thinking, doesn't it?
04:11There might also be an element of making it seem like it's just a foot.
04:15Well, there are many possibilities.
04:17The battle between these two...
04:18I can even read the psychology of each of the players around there.
04:22hey
04:22I think the match will be very interesting to watch.
04:26This is mentally exhausting to watch, isn't it?
04:30When you get to players of this caliber, every single movement
04:33Yoshida, which one is the real target, and which one is the bait?
04:37Is that so?
04:38I don't understand.
04:39I don't understand.
04:41Also, I wonder what that's foreshadowing something.
04:47Both champion Taguchi and challenger Akito agreed to the 12-minute mark.
04:51They are fighting knowingly.
04:52We cannot afford to be complacent.
04:58Well, normally it's a bit of a comical punky weapon and
05:01Taguchi is loved by everyone,
05:04Nagano and Taguchi are already early risers, you know.
05:07That's right, the dojo in Noge.
05:11He's a man who was thoroughly trained in the strong style of fighting.
05:14He possesses exceptional physical and mental abilities, even among his peers.
05:18It is said that they exist.
05:20My name is Takashi Taguchi.
05:21I've always been a junior, but I'm quite big now.
05:24It's big.
05:26And when it comes to matches against other organizations, Taguchi is always
05:30The pride of Noge, you know.
05:32They really bring out the pride of New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
05:36There's definitely a deep-seated pride to be found.
05:51Now, steadily chip away at your opponent's legs and knees to inflict damage.
05:57Iku Knee Crusher to Ankle
06:02You have to get away before it's perfectly decided.
06:09Also, the leg killings get worse and worse over time.
06:15Damage accumulates
06:16Yoshida, this will make you unable to move.
06:19That's right.
06:21If you're targeted in the same spot, you become unable to move, right?
06:24I kept thinking, "I can still do it, I can still do it," but then it suddenly dropped.
06:27I wouldn't be able to support them either, would I?
06:31While taking that part into account
06:33I agree
06:36To what extent will you accept?
06:39Are you going to avoid it?
06:40That's something we need to think about carefully.
06:45Well, Akihito has a lot of variations too.
06:48have
06:50Akihito has always fought in this style.
07:01This time, Akihito will be wearing this Universal belt.
07:04If that happens again
07:06A new, desperate battle is set to unfold in the DDT title scene.
07:09Yes
07:11Akihito is aiming for that as well.
07:12yes
07:13Mosaro brings a positive new change to DDT
07:17I also feel like I'd like to be allowed to do it.
07:18It seems to be a big deal for Akihito.
07:20That's right, in the end, it's all for DDT's sake, isn't it?
07:22yes
07:24It's definitely a belt that faces outwards.
07:26This "Universal" also has meaning, you know.
07:28Yes, and what I'm curious about is how Akihito will move his story forward after a long time.
07:35I would like to lend it to you.
07:36Up until now, DDT has had acting GMs
07:40The behind-the-scenes roles, such as being the vice president, are being highlighted.
07:44It was being done
07:45I also have a solid story as a professional wrestler.
07:49something like
07:51He said he wanted to show it to me.
07:52That's right.
07:55The condition is really perfect, too.
07:58And for that purpose, it would be better to have a championship belt.
08:05No, normally, people like this are behind the scenes, providing backup.
08:09Mr. Yoshida, if I were to appear too, I'd be really excited, wouldn't I?
08:12I think they've been working hard to get to this point.
08:16I don't think I've ever cut corners, so I want you to let loose here.
08:19Akihito also mentioned that he was working on finishing it.
08:24Not a match at any time
08:26To get into condition to compete for a title.
08:29thing
08:30If you cherish it
08:31As expected
08:33And I just don't want to be looked down upon anymore.
08:35That's a matter of adult pride.
08:37He apparently learned that kind of attitude from Harashima.
08:42Of course, there are things you can learn from other veterans.
08:45So Harashima, Yasurano, Smileska
08:49I'm sure I learned a lot from that experience.
08:51That's right.
08:55The desperate efforts of PDT, and furthermore, Nagoya
08:59Sportiva Entertainment
09:00All the experience I gained there
09:03I'm planning to use it in this match against Taguchi.
09:09This is his signature hip attack
09:10Getting deeply involved
09:12It's because of the strength in the lower body.
09:15This is Taguchi's attack.
09:18Let's go!
09:23feint
09:27Self-atomic drops won't work.
09:37I got hit right by this.
09:38Hip attack
09:44Here, I regulate my breathing at the same time
09:48Taguchi Ryusuke is probably using his brain to its fullest.
09:52Now, this is my specialty.
09:55From the second shot
09:58Take it to Three Amigos
10:01I will persevere through this.
10:04Akito endures
10:08I took his leg.
10:11I'll fold it up.
10:16I thought he was going to throw it as is, but
10:19Mr. Osawa took it over his knees.
10:23Normally, I would bring it up by lifting my legs or something like that.
10:26I'll pack up today
10:29And ankle hold
10:32Indeed, Taguchi, who is skilled at using the ankle, used the ankle.
10:36Take the top
10:37Becoming champion would be a great honor for Akito.
10:40Yes
10:45This is also a feint.
10:45Take the back
10:46So what do we do?
11:10I was reading
11:11Furthermore, switch the tie and do an ankle hold.
11:15Oh My & Garcle
11:20Wow, Mr. Yoshida is a three-ringer!
11:22Wow, that's amazing! I can't take my eyes off it for even a second.
11:25There are moments when you don't know what happened.
11:27No, there wasn't a single wasted movement in that last turn or movement.
11:30Wow, next it's the arm.
11:30In a roundabout way, it's still about the feet.
11:33Taguchi escapes by spinning.
11:35But Akito won't let go.
11:38Just looking at it is enough to make you feel excited.
11:41The heart rate of those doing it must be incredibly high.
11:43No, really, really
11:44Oh, really?
11:46Ah, it's the feet after all.
11:50Here Akito was persistent and persistent
11:54Ah, it's a fall, a fall.
11:57I'll pretend to target the legs, but if there's an opportunity, I'll go for the pin.
12:00This time we'll use a referee.
12:02And oh
12:05Fold your legs and fall
12:06Count 2
12:09No, it's Akito's full-scale pro wrestling mobilization.
12:11Ah, yes.
12:12Ahhh, I threw it.
12:15As if to say, "Don't underestimate me," Ryusuke Taguchi
12:19Akito counter
12:20Ankle hold
12:24He grabbed my foot.
12:28So what do we do now?
12:30This is where you need to use your brain and technique.
12:33Let's go, let!
12:36Ooooooooo
12:39A big, flashy attack that turns into a knee kill.
12:42This is the second Samothrace period.
12:44This is Add's specialty.
12:47I never thought it would happen.
12:48Count 2
12:49Wow, the drawer really does open up.
12:53Perhaps
12:54Rather than breaking the rules
12:56It was a sudden inspiration.
12:57That's possible.
13:01This will likely cause Akito considerable psychological damage.
13:06Akito's movements stopped abruptly.
13:09Put it back into Dodon's position.
13:14After taking that knee-killing blow...
13:16Will it come to Dodon, or will it come to my knees again?
13:19Akito probably has that fear.
13:20For a moment, it seemed like Akito's thoughts stopped.
13:23Right?
13:24That was right after the last one.
13:27Don't let them do it.
13:28Take off your hat
13:30Don't give up
13:36I pull the rope closer.
13:38That is the main focus.
13:40What to do, Takuchi
13:42This is a desperate attempt.
13:43I'm going to start peeling it off.
13:45This is a wrestling move.
13:47Should we go over there from there?
13:53I thought the waterwheel was going to fall.
13:55That spot in front
13:57And ankle hold
14:01Shall we take it?
14:02Atchi's DDT Reversal Championship
14:08And my own story
14:11Should we make big changes?
14:16He countered, he turned the tables.
14:18Which one is it? Which one is it?
14:27It's kind of like a simplified version of Dodon.
14:29The way to drop it
14:33That was unusual for Taguchi.
14:35It was a bit of a power fight.
14:37Shall we start over from there?
14:40It would be bad to be hit by this again.
14:42What do we do next?
14:43Ahhhh
14:45He's pretentious.
14:45He's pretentious.
14:47This choice again
14:48Surfing is hell
14:52Over and Ackle
14:54Center of the ring
14:55Is that the end of it?
14:56Is that the end of it?
14:57Is that the end of it?
14:57Is that the end of it?
14:58Is that the end of it?
14:59Is that the end of it?
15:14No, I don't want it to end.
15:15That feeling is what Coraken Hall
15:17I encourage Add
15:20Even so, even so, Taguchi
15:23Nevertheless, Taguchi
15:24cling on
15:27squeeze
15:28This is tough.
15:30It's a demon.
15:32Oni no Taguchi
15:34I'm in the DDT ring right now.
15:39Let's tap our feet
15:40Absolutely Headache
15:44Is it over, is it over?
15:46Is it ending?
15:48winner
15:51Yusuke Taguchi
15:5722nd place
15:59DDT Universal Champion
16:00Yusuke Taguchi
16:02Successfully defended his title for the fourth time.
16:04The last one is a cross-shaped design, right?
16:06If both feet are set
16:10In the end, Taguchi became the champion.
16:12This is the only place
16:14I could sense their fierce determination to win.
16:18Mr. Yoshida, what did you think?
16:19I really had to use my brain to its fullest extent.
16:22I followed along for a bit,
16:24As a fan, I find Taguchi's persistence amusing.
16:27death
16:28As you see it, Akita-san
16:30I really don't want to lose.
16:32Should I return it to my synchronous team here?
16:33The back-and-forth of the match was so much fun!
16:37Honestly, Taguchi didn't play around at all today.
16:42There wasn't a single funny moment.
16:46Really
16:46The funky part of Funky Weapon
16:48There were almost no weapons.
16:51That's how the battle went.
16:52yes
16:54ah
16:55Kiyachi
16:56Ah, Kiyachi
16:57yes
16:58Kiyachi
16:59ah
17:01Taguchi-san
17:03It's been a long time since I've felt this incredibly frustrated.
17:05ah
17:06Keido-san
17:06Keido
17:07ah
17:09Taguchi-san
17:11DDT Pro-Wrestling
17:12and
17:14One restorer
17:15Akihito
17:16They took on the challenge with respect.
17:19thank you
17:31This time too
17:32I took on the challenge with respect.
17:38Taguchi is able to do various kinds of pro wrestling.
17:41Today, I fought and won within my own worldview.
17:47I think that's all there is to it.
17:49Taguchi-san
17:50oh dear
17:51It's frustrating, but
17:52I have no regrets.
17:54Taguchi-san
17:55Also
17:55See you again somewhere
17:57Please wrestle with Akihito.
18:01thank you
18:14Normally, I would go home at this point.
18:17I'm currently in charge of the extreme section.
18:20So whether I win or lose, the next challenger will be decided.
18:26We have to do it.
18:28The next title defense is on November 29th.
18:32I would like to hold it at the Korakuen Hall event.
18:35On November 3rd, Taguchi and Sumi will be playing in the Tack League.
18:41Because the final is in Hiroshima
18:43Of course, I understand that it will be a defensive situation.
18:45The title defense will take place on November 29th.
18:49The challenger was originally supposed to be Taguchi-san here this month.
18:57That's the player I thought he was.
18:58This is the player.
19:18Authentic for funky
19:24It's far away.
19:26It's far away.
19:27I won't make a long-distance call.
19:34I don't make calls from far away.
19:37I don't make calls from far away.
19:37No no no
19:38I already do that during matches.
19:39Everyone already knows
19:41It's okay, it's okay.
19:42Because they're playing a game.
19:45As you saw, Taxi-san
19:47This guy is weird.
19:49It's mysterious.
19:51New Japan Pro-Wrestling currently has a variety of wrestlers and various match formats.
19:55I think so
19:56Yesterday, they were actually doing something like street wrestling.
19:59But there are no wrestlers like him in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
20:05The one and only authentic wrestling in the world
20:10It seems to be Ra.
20:12Hey, it's far
20:13ah
20:14Takushi-san, please fully embrace the authentic worldview.
20:19please
20:21Huh? Isn't Akita-san in a match? I'm here
20:25Huh? You thought the match was starting because the entrance music was playing?
20:29What is Naunts?
20:34Taguchi-san
20:36I got to taste Universal Champion Taguchi-san
20:40It hurts.
20:42thank you
20:45That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:46dangerous
20:47No, one day
20:47That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:48That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:49That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:49That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:49That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:50That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:50That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:51That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:51That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:52That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:53That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:55That's dangerous, isn't it?
20:56That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:00That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:03That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:05That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:06That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:09That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:12That's dangerous, isn't it?
21:12From the caterpillar on Mr. Taguchi's head to the redness of his toenails
21:26And I'd also like to see Taguchi-san with an afro.
21:35And it's technical, interesting, and strong.
21:43I have experienced all aspects of Mr. Taguchi.
21:49Let me lead you to defeat.
21:58Mr. Taguchi, I look forward to seeing you on the day.
22:04Thermal power
22:20That was close.
22:24From the middle
22:25I thought I shouldn't take it seriously.
22:30I was emptying my mind.
22:33dangerous
22:37So I don't know what they were saying.
22:44I understand that you seem to be mentally unstable.
22:47often
22:52They must be crazy.
22:55But I understand.
22:57That absurdity must be fabricated.
23:04Because truly crazy people
23:09Because you can tell what kind of person is crazy.
23:16That is a lie
23:24I've come to think it might not be a lie.
23:27something
23:27They might be the same.
23:32They're the same, aren't they?
23:35They're the same, aren't they?
23:36They're the same, aren't they?
24:06I thought you'd do it.
24:08I thought you'd do it.
24:10I thought something would happen.
24:11I can't do anything.
24:15Because I just found out now.
24:17I just found out.
24:18I just found out.
24:19I just found out.
24:19I don't know that.
24:20I don't know.
24:22Is that settled?
24:23Is it decided?
24:24That's fine.
24:25no
24:26Listening
24:27This way
24:28I've decided.
24:29Please show me quickly
24:30I've become quite engrossed in the world.
24:32We're doing it here.
24:33So, can I go home now?
24:35Okay
24:35Go home quickly
24:36Welcome back.
24:38thank you
24:40He was a player I couldn't reach.
24:42Please look forward to the players from afar.
24:44thank you
24:46thank you
24:47thank you
24:51Leaving that aside
24:56this week
24:57I'll wait now
24:59New Japan Pris
25:00In the Junior Tack League
25:02a little bit
25:03Sumi
25:04I'll borrow it.
25:05Sumi
25:05Sumi
25:10Sumi is tackling
25:11Sumi 55
25:13Sumi
25:15do your best
25:18In Hiroshima
25:1811.3
25:20Because I'm taking a break.
25:21In Hiroshima
25:22The final match
25:23Let's win the championship!
25:26One word
25:35Sumi
25:58Sumi
26:25now
26:43What kind of battle will these two have?
26:46I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of performance he'll give among the junior wrestlers of New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
26:50Mi
