- For the second straight night, FURY returned to Tokyo's Differ Ariake, drawing another sellout of 1,800 fans. The show opened with a big singles match, pitting the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Jet Jaguar against the man who has been a constant thorn in his side for the last couple of weeks, Nobusan; albeit in a non-title encounter. Nobusan entered first, carrying the torn mask he ripped off Jaguar's head yesterday. The F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion was called out next, only for Jaguar to be no where to be found... Just as it seemed Jaguar had no-showed the match, the lights in Differ Ariake went pitch black, causing a roar of commotion to come over the fans. When the lights returned, the Differ fans were stunned to see a hooded figure standing behind Nobusan! Nobusan eventually turned around, only to be caught off guard by the individual. The figure removed their hood, revealing Jet Jaguar! However, to the shock of both Nobusan and the crowd, Jaguar PULLED OFF HIS OWN MASK! However, he did not reveal a clean face. Instead, Jaguar's face, and even tongue were painted jet black! In his new form, Jaguar destroyed the shell-shocked Nobusan in just over five minutes, while also tearing away at Nobusan's mask, and cutting him open! Jaguar finally decapitated Nobusan with a vicious blade kick for the one-footed three count. After the match, Jaguar took back his mask from last night, before leaving the ring...
- In the second match, the independent army of Hiroaki Nakata, Masafuji Yoshida, Masato Osagawa, and Tetsujin defeated Ooinaru Waza's Otsuo Kayusa, Chikao Kessin, Norihiro Akashi, and Seiji Sasaki in a back-and-forth eight-man tag. In the end, Osagawa was able to use his power to decimate Seiji Sasaki, before eventually pinning him after the Last Ride.
- Tetsuhisa NAKAI faced off against Daisuke Iwata. Unfortunately, the match was mired from the beginning, with constant interference from the former members of UPRISER'Z, forcing Referee Edd Sasaki to call for the bell. For the second night in a row, NAKAI was aided by Norihiro Akashi, who helped fight the heels off. After clearing the ring, NAKAI thanked Akashi for his help, and said he was surprised that given the way he had treated Akashi in the past, that he would bother saving him. Akashi said that he understood NAKAI's feelings, and he knew that he had to earn his respect. Akashi then talked about the upcoming Sakura Tag Festival, noting that his mentor Otsuo Kayusa would be teaming with Chikao Kessin. He considered teaming with Seiji Sasaki, but felt that the tournament would be too much for Seiji's level... Therefore, he was asking Tetsuhisa NAKAI to be his partner! NAKAI took but a minute before accepting Akashi's invitation!
- For the second straight night, the new and improved REAL-ONE of Naoki Fukuda, TAKU, and Go Taniguchi defeated the remnants of UPRISER'Z, YAKUTA, RYUJI, and Manabe Tsuji, as TAKU used the Kinniku Buster to put away Tsuji. Despite winning, it didn't come easy for REAL-ONE, who had to content with the cheating ways of their opponents. The villianious three would take every opportunity to break the rules, earning them the cold scorn of the fans.
- In the semi final, TakaNabe battled KobaKen in a what was a defacto Sakura Tag Festival preview match. KobaKen appeared stronger than their last encounter with TakaNabe in October, and controlled the early goings of the match. The match came down to a wire as it head towards the 15-minute mark. Watanabe and Hujikawa traded heavy fire. The turning point came as Watanabe countered Hujikawa's Axe Bomber K with a released Dragon Suplex, followed by the Shining Kenka Kick. Watanabe hooked Hujikawa once more, before connecting with the Dragon Suplex hold, giving he and Akira the victory... After the match, Akira promised that he and Watanabe would win the Sakura Tag Festival for the second year in a row. Kenichiro Hujikawa interrupted however, and vowed that he and Jun would redeem themselves by winning the tournament.
- In the main event, three Jr. heavyweight trios faced off in a special 3WAY match, pitting NEW FORCE, the First Generation Army and the New Generation Army against one another. The match featured some incredible teamwork from all three teams, including ATSUKA and Okazaki both giving Hidaka Kamon the Punk Rock Dropkick straight into a German Suplex hold from Yoshihiro Shimoda. Towards the end, the match came down to a showdown between the First and New Generation Armies, with Kyoto Okazaki and Kotaro Ota being the only two in the ring. The two traded shots back and forth, until Okazaki cut him off with the Perfect Black. The set up allowed Okazaki to follow up with the Moonsault press, only giving him a two count! Okazaki tried to finish Ota with a second Moonsault, only for Ota to get both of his knees up! Ota then fired back, connecting with a Thrust Kick, setting up the Violent Spark! The exchange continued until both men fought their way to the top turnbuckle. Okazaki tried to finish Ota once and for all with an AVALANCHE Otokogoroshi... Ota however fought back with a volley of forearms. Okazaki managed to knock Ota off the turnbuckle. However, this in turn allowed Ota to strike, CRACKING Okazaki with a Thrust Kick! This allowed Ota to climb back up, where he FLATTENED Okazaki with the Nuevo Spark, giving Ota the three count!
The New Generation Army celebrated afterwards, and were allowed to close the show. They thanked the fans for their support, and vowed to prove themselves in the eyes of the fans.
