Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. This was also a live Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan.
The announced paid attendance was 1509, a legit sellout.

Standings-wise, with one day left it’s now EVIL & Uemura leading at 5-3, 10 points, with 6 at 4-4, 8 points. Taichi & SANADA are 3-5, 6 points and are now OUT but can play spoilers and try to eliminate Oleg & Oiwa as their final respective opponents. The top 3 advance.
