- Hiroaki Nakata presented the second volume of his BREAK BLOW concept in front of a sold out Shinjuku FACE in Tokyo. The show opened with CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada facing NEW FORCE member Kazuki Sendo in a spirited test for Sendo, who showed good instincts early on, but eventually fell to the technical superiority of Yamada, who cradled Sendo with the Musubime for the pinfall win... Sendo received good marks from the fans, and promised to continue pushing forward...
- The returning Shigeru Iwasaki stepped into the BREAK BLOW ring, facing Masakatsu Irie of Tokyo-based independent group FULL SPEED. The lesser experienced member of FULL SPEED's Metro Life unit took his challenge head on, using a flurry of kicks. Despite a good start, Irie was eventually overcome with the newfound spirit and confidence of Iwasaki, who finished Irie with a vicious blow to the side of the head for the pin. Despite losing, Irie did his best, which Iwasaki noted. Before Iwasaki left, he was approached by CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada, referring to him as "Iwasaki-senpai..." Yamada noted that among the 1st term students he studied under in the Kazuma Fujita dojo, Iwasaki helped him the most, and said he would always be thankful. This led to Yamada throwing out a challenge to Iwasaki for next month's BREAK BLOW. Iwasaki of course accepted.
- The third match saw the returning Shuji Kido of Nansei face the toughest challenge in his young career, facing Yoshihiro Shimoda. Kido's size advantage proved to be great asset, as he had the added strength to counter everything Shimoda threw at him early on. However, strength alone would not be enough to defeat one of the strongest Jr. Heavyweights in the world, as Shimoda immobilized Kido with a release German Suplex, before grounding him. Kido did his best to escape the various positions, but eventually fell straight into Shimoda's trap, who caught him in a nasty cross armbreaker, forcing Kido to submit! Shimoda praised Kido afterwards, encouraging him to continue coming to the BREAK BLOW ring.
- In the semi final, the "Supreme Commander" Tatsumichi Akamatsu made his arrival to the BREAK BLOW ring, facing the unruly Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji came dashing out of the gate as the gong sounded, throwing a flurry of elbows at Akamatsu. Akamatsu tried to fight back, but Tsuji amazingly showed great finesse by countering, before throwing a HARD forearm, catching Akamatsu in the side of the head, CAUSING HIM TO DROP TO A KNEE! The crowd ERUPTED as referee Akinori Fuwa pulled Tsuji back to begin counting Akamatsu down! However, before he could reach one, Akamatsu was already up, and IRATE, as he BLASTED the unprepared Tsuji with a HARD boot to the face, before unleashing a flurry of elbows and chops, leading to VICIOUS KNEE KICKS TO THE CHEST! With Tsuji stunned, Akamatsu finally leaped, SMASHING INTO THE SIDE OF TSUJI'S HEAD WITH A JUMPING HIGH KICK, prompting Tsuji to crumble onto the mat! Fuwa began counting Tsuji out, but after it was clear he was NOT getting up, Fuwa called the match off, awarding the bout to Tatsumichi Akamatsu! Akamatsu got on the microphone afterwards, saying, "NAKATA! Is this the best you have to offer! This is a joke!" This brought back out YOSHIHIRO SHIMODA, who seemed to take Akamatsu's words personally... Shimoda issued a challenge to Akamatsu for next month's show, provoking Akamatsu to accept!
- In the main event, Hiroaki Nakata once again clashed with a member of the CRIMSON roster, this time in rising up-and-comer Takayuki Ariwa, who challenged Nakata at the conclusion of last month's show. The physically impressive Ariwa asserted himself early on, proudly showing off his strength by manhandling Nakata during the early going. The ever-resourceful Nakata however tried to cut Ariwa off at the knees--literally, as he used an arsenal of leg kicks to try and slow Ariwa down. However, all it did was anger him, as Ariwa soon began to fight with even more aggression, forcing Nakata to step up his game as the bout progressed. Ariwa began to make some serious headway, damaging Nakata with blunt force attacks, including sledgehammer blows and elbows. However, Nakata managed to pull a trick out of his tights, as he countered the emerging Ariwa's spear with a well timed knee to the face, stunning Ariwa long enough for a downed count from Edd Sasaki! But despite being temporarily out of it, he would manage to shake it off. Nakata took control for the next portion of the match, holding nothing back against the muscle of CRIMSON's Yankizoku unit. Eventually, Nakata aimed to finish Ariwa with a Dragon Suplex, but the powerhouse proved too strong for Nakata, as he muscled out, before catching Nakata with the Angelos discus lariat, leading to a near fall! Ariwa continued to look impressive, further punishing Nakata with more attacks, including a release German Suplex! The match eventually reached its raging climax, as Ariwa attempted to finish Nakata with another Angelos, only for Nakata to counter with an arm breaker across his shoulder! Ariwa tried to fight through the pain, and throw another lariat... But once more, Nakata caught and telegraphed it with three consecutive arm breakers across the shoulder! Ariwa grabbed his own in pain, before ROARING out to the crowd! Ariwa wounded up once more, before throwing yet another Angelos... But again, Nakata caught the arm, before taking Ariwa down, and applying a WAKIGATAME! Ariwa ADAMATELY refused to submit, and desperately reached for the ropes... But just before he was about to, Nakata dragged Ariwa away, before pulling back on Ariwa's arm even further! With each passing moment, Ariwa's arm bent more and more, before finally being forced to submit!
The fans erupted in support of both men, who put on an incredible effort. Ariwa earned a huge ovation from fans as he was helped to his feet, with many "ARIWA!" calls being thrown his way. Ariwa tried to leave the ring, but he was pulled back in by Nakata... After an intense stare down, Nakata eased the moment by extending his hand for a handshake... Ariwa considered it for a moment, before SLAPPING Nakata's hand away, earning boos from the fans who were just shouting his name... Nakata was joined by most of tonight's competitors, as Nakata thanked the fans for making the second volume of BREAK BLOW a success. He led the wrestlers, along with the fans in the first show-ending "BREAK! BLOW! FIGHT!" cheer, bringing the show to a close.
