It would appear that Baisen TAGAI has taken the spot of Sanchu Tsubakichi in the YGB/B1 Climax, so replacing him for the opener is Kyosuke Sasaki, making his return to the pro-wrestling ring after a lengthy absence!

1. Young Generation Battle Final: Winner Block A vs Winner Block B
Futen continued their year with a strong show following their anniversary. The big note of the show is that Takeshi Ono continued his dominance, and is still the man to beat in Futen, as he downed Manabu Suruga in 17 minutes following a stiff kick to the face.

Firstly. Chihiro Oikawa won her first MMA fight the other night, in the first round, with an Armlock.
Futen continues a string of big matches, as Kaientai Dojo continues their "invasion" of Futen, alongside Pro-Wrestling NOAH! Daisuke Ikeda will miss this show as he has a fractured forearm.

Another show has been added to the bulk of four shows in concession of one another. Seems very likely that the return of the Young Generation Battle will be going ahead, possibly run only by BattlARTS this year.

The 4th Anniversary of Futen was an exciting one. The big story coming out of it, is the war between Ikeda and Suruga has now started, and looks to be the big feud coming in for the rest of the year.
Hopefully Kyosuke Sasaki makes his return to the ring soon from injury.

I normally only post news about BattlARTS shows, unless it is something important. This seems important.
Ikuto Hidaka and Munenori Sawa will be defending their NWA International Lightweight Tag Titles against the team of Minoru (Tanaka) and... Katsumi Usuda! Minoru wanted to bring back the junior style of BattlARTS, that hasn't been seen for nearly 10 years, and that is why he is teaming with Usuda to challenge for the titles. All four men have promised to bring that style back to the fore-front in the match.
Also, BattlARTS will go to war with Zero-One yet again, as Yuki Ishikawa and Keita Yano enter the fray to take on Minoru Fujita and Yusaku Obata in tag team action!

Talk about slow news! Nothing has occurred between shows, apart from announcements of matches sporadically. But here we are!
An overpacked crowd (according to Ishikawa) arrived for an interesting card which showcased the companies new generation.
Ryuji Walter returned to BattlARTS for the first time in a long time, managing to pick up a win over Tsubakichi in the opener. He wasn't the only one to pick up a win, as Oikawa used a series of high kicks to knock out ESUI, giving her, her first BattlARTS win, ever!
Sawa and Hayato re-created their feud/friendship tandem to take on two new comers in the BattlARTS ring. Royal Japans Tiger Shark and Akifumi Saito! Sawa would get the deciding submission.
The main event has been called absolutely amazing, with Yujiro Yamamoto getting the MVP award for the main event match, from several opinions. He fought tougher then usual, and it wasn't until Ishikawa resorted to his mentors own submission hold that Yamamoto could go no longer, the veterans still holding back the onslaught from the young generation!

Ryuji Walter returns to the BattlARTS ring after a near 2 year absence. Walter had been suffering from an elbow injury, then decided to do more training in different fighting arts, before returning to the ring. He recently fought old BattlARTS fighter, Rastaman at a self-promoted show.
