Arisa Nakajima vs. Tsukasa Fujimoto 30:00. Classic joshi partners battle where they wanted to kill each other for half an hour then went back to being, well, Best Friends. I expected the match to be more choreographed & flashy, and while they weren't afraid to do a moonsaults or even an avalanche style DDT onto the ring apron, at it's core it was more their version of the Shibata violence match with Marufuji's athleticism & creativity to be opportunistic in inserting beautiful counters & spectacular moves out of the striking base. They were in each other's face from start to finish just beating each other down, and even though they did a very urgent 20 minute draw on 3/26/17, you still never felt they were going the distance again because the intensity was at 10 the whole time. Shibata's routine is a 15 minute match, but they never stalled or screwed around or let up in any way to account for all the extra time, instead they innovated. Obviously Shibata is a technically superior striker who hits a lot harder, and while Nakajima strikes fast her impact can be inconsistent, but what made this match stand out and be their own is they were able to seamlessly incorporate all their high spots to make up the other half without making the contest feel contrived or in any way a show where they were just inserting their usual stuff to do offense because it was expected of them. The striking wasn't the usual exchanges in between the other offense, it was brief but constant. They would slow each other down with a few strikes then sneak in a big move when the opponent was groggy or use the momentum from a missed strike to go into a high spot. The best sequence began with Fujimoto hitting a soccer ball kick, but when she tried to follow with the penalty kick, Nakajima dropped to her back then did a kip up, ducked a lariat and tried a wheelbarrow victory roll, but Fujimoto did a handspring out only to hurt herself when Arisa once again avoided the penalty kick kind of like Thiago Santos against Jon Jones. The aggressive, unfriendly tone was set before the bell when Tsukasa offered a handshake, but Arisa slapped her hand away, so Tsukasa slapped her then tried to walk to her corner only to get ambushed. Nakajima is tiny, but she's such a fierce competitor you always feel like she's the last one you'd actually want to mess with because she's so relentless. The way she went after Tsukasa with a chair early then had to be restrained from using a ladder, you'd think this was a decade long blood feud rather than that her next match would once again be tagging with Fujimoto. Nakajima is one of the most interesting grapplers because her sequences aren't full on cooperation. She was able to show when they were "agreeing" to do something such as grab hands for the basic lock up, and when they are being tentative while looking for an opening or having to work to gain/maintain an advantage. This time it was more her match than Fujimoto's, and though Fujimoto is a lot more diverse than she gets credit for and probably one of the better female strikers, it was Nakajima that was getting so many of the little things right & really making the match a lot better than it would have been if you gave basically anyone else the basic layout. She is truly a special talent. The match threatened to become contrived when Fujimoto did a Toyota sequence dropkicking Nakajima to the floor and clapping as she made her way to the top rope for her plancha, but Arisa doesn't play that, and let Fujimoto know by winging a chair into her. In general though, they got away with doing more highspots than most would have because they are so quick, athletic, and explosive that the moves didn't seem like the clunky changes of pace or style they would if ordinary athletes were trying to emulate their match. The one sequence where they lost the plot was when Fujimoto hit a missile kick from each corner, it was much too slow & deliberate for the rest of the match, and she kept begging for encouragement rather than sticking to the kick before & after to buy time to do next move. The match seemed close to ending when Fujimoto ducked a punch into her infinity, hit the venus shoot, and went for the Tsukadora, but Arisa countered with a huge Dragon suplex for a double sell spot. I liked Arisa seeming to counter the Japanese ocean cyclone suplex with a schoolboy, but instead standing up and setting up la magistral, but giving Tsukasa a reverse kick to the face as she was twisting into the pin. Tsukasa did finally hit the JOCS for the cliche time conveniently expires non finish. Their stamina was probably the most impressive aspect, as they were never threatening to slow down despite going all out for the duration. It was amazing to see a match of this quality at all, but given the current landscape, especially to see both give career level performances outside the main event, but I don't think Nakajima cares about any of that stuff, it's mainly about the opportunity to challenge herself. ****3/4
