00:24TAKAGI SHINGO VS. NAKAJIMA KATSUHIKO
00:29They both made their debuts in 2004.
00:32It's clear to see the age gap between the two.
00:36From the KENSUKE office to the Diamond Ring,
00:39Nakajima Katsuhiko's wings are about to take off.
00:43A samurai has been sent in from the Dragon Gate.
00:48Takagi Shingo has been at the top of the Dragon Gate for 3 years and 9 months.
00:58He's got the spirit of a pro-wrestler.
01:04This is a test of their faith.
01:08Let's do this, Nakajima Katsuhiko!

01:19With the pride of the Dragon Gate and Takagi Shingo on his back,
01:23He's ready to go to the ring.

02:08But there's a reason why he can't lose.

02:58He's waiting for his man.
03:00He's waiting for his destiny.
03:05It's been a while, Takagi-san.
03:08Nakajima Katsuhiko looks like he's got a lot on his plate.
03:11It's been 6 years.
03:13Let's go!
03:28This is the main event of the Diamond Ring.
03:31We'll have a 30-minute singles match.
03:39The red corner, 178cm, 96kg, Takagi Shingo.
03:45Nakajima, let's show them what we're made of.
03:48The samurai of the Dragon Gate, Takagi Shingo.
03:52The red corner, 175cm, 95kg, 23rd G.A.C. Junior Heavyweight Champion,
03:57Nakajima Katsuhiko!
04:27Nakajima Katsuhiko is the main event of the Diamond Ring.
04:33He's the main event of the Diamond Ring.
04:37He's got a lot on his plate.
04:40He's got a lot on his plate.
04:45He's got a lot on his plate.
04:52He's got a lot on his plate.
04:55He's got a lot on his plate.
05:01He's got a lot on his plate.
05:09Now stay there!
05:12Now stay there!
05:17And the two of them were able to pull it off in one go.
05:23On the other hand, Takagi Shingo is a former DREAMGATE member.
05:26He's only been in DREAMGATE for 3 years and 9 months.
05:28He's a man who has climbed to the top of DRAGON GATE.
05:31He's also one of Nakajima's rivals, isn't he?
05:34That's right.
05:35In January 2004, Nakajima made his debut.
05:37Takagi made his debut in October.
05:40When he saw Nakajima, who made his debut at the beginning of his career,
05:44he thought, I don't want to lose to this guy.
05:46At that time, Nakajima was 15 years old.
05:48He was 15 years old.
05:49He said, I'm going to do more.
05:51I've been doing this for a long time.
05:53Actually, there are a lot of top players who made their debut in 2004.
05:59There are many.
06:00Suwama, Shiozaki of NOAH, Ibushi of DDT.
06:03Fujita Jr. Hayato, who made his debut in the third game.
06:06That's right.
06:07Nakajima Katsuhiko was the one who made his debut at the top.
06:10I think everyone was aiming at him.
06:17Takagi Shingo left the result for Nakajima first.
06:22He used to have that kind of jealousy.
06:24He still has it.
06:29Takagi Shingo was right at the top of the Dragon Gate.
06:33That's right.
06:34Even if Nakajima says he's really amazing,
06:36Takagi hasn't lost to him at all.
06:38That's true.
06:42It's been about six years since they played against each other in singles.
06:45At that time, Nakajima was winning in the Dragon Gate ring.
06:48It's a match to see how much he's grown.
06:51Oh, that's a great low kick.
06:53Takagi is...
06:55It's heavy.
06:58Takagi's hand is a little out of place.
07:01Here's the boots.
07:02But Takagi...
07:03Oh, a shoulder attack.
07:05Six years ago, Nakajima was in the Dragon Gate unit.
07:09That's right.
07:10At that time, Takagi was really the blood generation.
07:14That's right.
07:16That's right.
07:17Nakajima said he didn't feel like he had won yet.
07:23Takagi said,
07:24I've never forgotten losing to a German in that way.
07:29I'm sure he's determined to get his revenge.
07:34Oh, a kick.
07:36It's the face.
07:40Takagi got a chance.
07:42Oh, it's a tough attack.
07:43Nakajima Katsuhiko kicked up his face.
07:48Oh, but it's a really close game.
07:52Takagi said he was inspired by this match.
07:57I think Nakajima feels the same way.
07:59That's right.
08:00They both debuted at the same age.
08:02He's a player who's been expected since he was young.
08:05They were really conscious of each other.
08:10Let's go!
08:11They're on different paths, but they're both very conscious of each other.
08:15Oh, here.
08:17A quick kick.
08:18This is amazing.
08:21Takagi falls down.
08:24Nakajima is really weighing him down right now.
08:26I think Takagi is more than he thinks he is.
08:30Nakajima Katsuhiko's weight has increased and his blow has increased.
08:33But Takagi is also tough.
08:37Anyway, he's a tough guy.
08:40In the case of Dragon Gate, there are a lot of fights every year.
08:43They've fought in nearly 200 matches, including overseas.
08:47Takagi's experience in each match is...
08:49He's been in the ring for eight years.
08:51If you've been in the ring for a year, you'll see the difference.
08:54I see.
08:55That's what he's trying to show.
08:58But he's been kicking a lot.
09:02That's a great kick.
09:03Takagi and Joe Tamanosu escape.
09:07Did he focus on kicking around his arm?
09:10He's holding his arm down.
09:11Takagi Shingo.
09:14He goes down this flowery path to catch his breath.
09:20Takagi is a fighter who has risen to the top in the speedy Dragon Gate ring with little power.
09:27He's not going to give up easily.
09:33Nakajima chases him.
09:36He hit his right shoulder on the bar.
09:41He's trying to block Takagi's Lariat and Pumping Over.
09:45That's right.
09:46That's a really strong blow.
09:49Takagi counterattacks.
09:51Nakajima's long kick.
09:53This chop is heavy and sharp.
09:57But he's not going to give up.
10:00Good.
10:03Good.
10:13That's a really strong blow.
10:16Good.
10:19Good.
10:21Good.
10:24Good.
10:30Good.
10:33Good.
10:34And... Oh! Soccer ball!
10:37Soccer ball kick!
10:41Today's Nakajima's kick is always amazing.
10:44He's right below the line.
10:46The sound is amazing, isn't it?
10:48The opponent may be Takagi.
10:51Oh! Takagi...
10:53He's kicking with his feet.
10:55Makkenro.
10:59He was looking behind Nakajima.
11:03Oh! He's in the lead.
11:05He's in the lead.
11:09Takagi is looking for a chance to win.
11:12And what is he going to do?
11:14Oh! He's going up to the top rope.
11:16Nakajima is in the lead.
11:17Oh! Nakajima...
11:18He gets up right away and does a trounce kick.
11:22He's using the apron as a shield.
11:24It's dangerous.
11:25Takagi is using force.
11:27What is it?
11:28It's dangerous.
11:29Oh! From here...
11:31It's dangerous.
11:36That was dangerous.
11:38It's dangerous.
11:39Is he going to be okay?
11:42He's using the apron as a shield.
11:45He's using the apron as a shield.
11:47Takagi...
11:50Nakajima manages to get up.
11:52Nakajima manages to get up.
11:54Oh! Takagi is flying!
11:56Oh! Takagi is flying!
12:01His spinning skills seem to have improved.
12:03It was a really good attack.
12:05His body is reflecting that graceful movement.
12:07What a great move!
12:10He's used a lot of force.
12:12Takagi is really using his strength well.
12:14He is Dragongate's former wrestler.
