- Eighteen days after the historic 5/31 event from the Kyocera Dome, FURY returned to Osaka drawing a packed house in the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2. The show opened with a senpai vs. kouhai tag match, as Tetsuhisa NAKAI and Masafuji Yoshida faced the quarrelling team of Tetsujin and Ryuugo Nagashima. The two youngsters immediately had problems getting on as they couldn't agree on who would start. Tetsujin finally just shoved Nagashima towards the center before climbing out onto the apron. Tetsuhisa NAKAI held nothing back against Nagashima, blasting him with BRUTAL chops to the chest. Nagashima fought through the pain and fired back with forearms of his own. Tetsujin eventually tagged himself in with a hard slap across Nagashima's back, as he squared off against Masafuji Yoshida. Yoshida punished Tetsujin with hard kesagiri chops. Tetsujin did his best to match his senpai, but the gap in experience was clear. The problems between Tetsujin and Nagashima continued however after Nagashima appealed for the tag. Tetsujin finally got fed up as he tagged Nagashima in, before PULLING Nagashima over the ropes! Rather than climb onto the apron, Tetsujin simply LEFT THE RING, abandoning his partner! Nagashima had little time to react, as Yoshida caught him with a NASTY lariat, before setting up the Powerbomb, keeping him down for three!
After the match, Yoshida voiced his displeasure with Tetsujin for his behavior, and announced that he and Nagashima would have a singles match on the next Osaka convention on 7/05.
- Fans were treated to a big six-man tag in the third match, as Yoshihiro Shimoda, Shigeru Iwasaki and Jet Jaguar battled the UPRISER'Z trio of Daisuke Iwata, Kyoto Okazaki and F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju. As always, it was a volatile atmosphere as Iwata and Iwasaki continued their violent rivalry. In the end however, Kaiju's 6/20 challenger Jet Jaguar would take Okazaki out following the Jaguar Special for the pin. Afterwards, UPRISER'Z attacked the winning team, with Kaiju tearing away at Jaguar's mask, garnering a huge ovation of boos. Iwasaki managed to fight Iwata back with a steel chair, which allowed him to make the save for Jaguar...
- In the semi final, Mastodon Fukuda finally got his chance at TAKU in a singles bout. However, it would not work out as he planned, as all of UPRISER'Z intruded at a little over one minute into the match, causing an immediate disqualification. Fukuda fought valiantly against the onslaught early on, but quickly fell victim to the overwhelming numbers of UPRISER'Z. The bang beating continued, until Fukuda received some unlikely help by SHIGERU IWASAKI, who immediately began to fight off Daisuke Iwata. However, the numbers still favored UPRISER'Z who continued their attack.
- After the intermission, President Nishida appeared for the random drawing to determine the entries in the 2009 J1-MAX League tournament... Before however, he announced that there would be two bye spots given this year, first to the current F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju, and second to the winner of last years tournament, Kotaro Ota. From there, President Nishida revealed the results of the random lottery as you can see below. However, the two surprise entrants should be noted, as former F-MAX Tag Team Champion and member of Hokkaido Pro-Wrestling, JIN HIROTO will participant in the A Block. In the B block however, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Junior Dynamo HAYATO SAIGO was drawn to participate, making this year a very exciting tournament line up!

Finally however, JUN KOBAYASHI would make his return since 6/12, running off UPRISER'Z with a black baseball bat! After clearing the ring, Kobayashi tried to help Fukuda to his feet, only to be refused. However, as Fukuda tried to leave, Kobayashi screamed out, "NAOKI!!!" to get his attention. Kobayashi said that he had always admired Fukuda dating back to when they were brought up together in the FURY dojo, and when they wrestled alongside each other in Real Japan Pro-Wrestling, and noted that he came back to FURY to match up against Fukuda earlier this year. But above all, he always respected Fukuda, and felt that he could no longer stand by and watch him suffer in an unfair fight. Fukuda shrugged Jun's words off as he attempted to leave once more. Kobayashi however spoke rather bluntly, saying that whether Fukuda liked it or not, he needed allies in his war against TAKU and UPRISER'Z. Fukuda paused for a moment as he contemplated... He finally took the microphone, and said that Jun was right... Jun extended his hand, as Fukuda quickly accepted it... Fukuda acknowledged that he needed help, and formally asked Kobayashi to aid him. He then turned to Iwasaki and asked for his help as well, noting his never ending blood feud with Daisuke Iwata. Iwasaki laughed, noting that he, like Fukuda, was also a "jilted lover." Iwasaki pledged his support to Fukuda, as the three promised to wage war against UPRISER'Z! Finally, Fukuda noted that from this point forward, he would be known by his real name, Naoki Fukuda.
- In the night's main event, OSAKA WILD STYLE attempted to secure their V1 defense of the PWC Jr. Tag Team titles against the OKINAWA SPEED STARS. It would be a far more enduring battle that fans would expect, as all four put on a main event caliber effort in this important match. The match paced slowly early on, as Ota faced off against RYUJI. The two attempted some mat work, but RYUJI quickly resorted to dirty tricks after stomping on Ota's hand to gain control. He tried to wear Ota down with various holds on the mat, but the resilient challenger quickly came back popping his head out from a headscissors, and catching RYUJI in the face with a dropkick! As always, team work played an important role early on, as Ota and Shirai tried to establish themselves as the superior team. The champion's however would could not be discounted, as they used various tricks to get the advantage. The pace picked up after the ten minute mark, as Shirai avoided RYUJI's diving headbutt. He and Ota went to work over the champion before sending him to the outside. Manabe Tsuji came in to try and take back control, only to be ushered to the outside, allowing the SPEED STARS to amaze the fans with stereo tope suicidas onto the champions! Later on Shirai used the Surf Coaster to nearly cradle RYUJI for the pin. However, as he tried to finish RYUJI with the Okinawa Driller, RYUJI countered, before connecting with a Backdrop. This allowing him to tag out to Tsuji, who dominated the next few minutes of the match with his brutal strength. Shirai would try desperately to tag out, but WILD STYLE would cut him off at every turn. Finally however, Shirai showed great agility in leapfrogging Tsuji's spear attempt, allowing him to tag out to Kotaro Ota, who immediately caught Tsuji with a swandive missile kick. He then attempted to hit Tsuji with the Violent Spark, but the champion shoved Ota towards the turnbuckle, only for Ota to leap off the middle turnbuckle, and hit Tsuji with a slinging Hurricanrana, sending him into his corner to tag out to RYUJI! Later on, things got even more heated as all four men traded big moves. Ota connected first, hitting RYUJI with the Violent Spark for a near fall. RYUJI however came back, SPIKING Ota with the Tombstone Driver! RYUJI nearly had the win, had it not been for Shirai who made the save. After tagging out to Manabe Tsuji, he attempted to finish Ota with the Guts Coaster, but the Ota landed onto his feet before using all of his strength to suplex Tsuji with the half-hatch! The eben flow continued between the two as Ota later tried to sink in the Michelada... Tsuji however used his brute strength to lift Ota off the ground, before DRIVING him into the corner to break the hold! With Ota stunned, Tsuji capitalized by flattening Ota into the mat with the Guts Coaster! But once again, Shirai would make the diving save for his partner to break up the pin. Later on, the SPEED STARS took back control as they worked over Tsuji. They eventually hoisted Tsuji up onto the top, before hitting the spectacular OKINAWA IMPACT! The fans erupted as Ota made the pin... However, at two, RYUJI BARELY saved their titles by pulling Ota out of the ring, before SMASHING A CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD behind the referees back! RYUJI rolled Ota into the ring as Shirai suddenly took RYUJI by surprise with a plancha... Tsuji eventually covered Ota... However, Ota had enough time to recover and kick out... Tsuji then pulled Ota up, before giving him a SECOND Guts Coaster! But once more, the spirited challenger kicked out at 2.8! Tsuji POUNDED the mat in frustration, before finally pulling Ota up once more, and lifting him into the Guts Coaster position... However, after getting a running start, Tsuji hurled Ota's body into the air, before SPIKING HIM WITH A SIT-OUT GUTS COASTER! Tsuji pinned both of Ota's legs behind his head as the referee counted the three!
The champions received their belts once more afterwards. RYUJI declared that they were the strongest Junior combination in the world, and invited teams from outside of FURY to try and take their titles!
After the match, Yoshida voiced his displeasure with Tetsujin for his behavior, and announced that he and Nagashima would have a singles match on the next Osaka convention on 7/05.
