00:00It's the end.
00:06The time of the three previous kings.
00:09Reiwa's declaration of a new generation.
00:12He defeated his arch enemy, Shun Skywalker.
00:16The youngest of the seven, 23 years old.
00:22The fastest since his debut.
00:24In two years and 11 months, he set a new record.
00:31The defense of Mitabi.
00:34The battle of the three kings.
00:37It was a battle that he wanted to challenge.
00:42It was a battle that made him feel that way.
00:57The battle of Manuka Kikuta.
01:01Until yesterday.
01:03And the battle from today.
01:06He was called the new generation.
01:08The time when he was proud of his movie.
01:10He felt that way.
01:11After all, it's me.
01:14He made a new decision.
01:16He went back to the end of 2022.
01:19Fukuoka International Center.
01:20The pinnacle.
01:21B.B. Hulk.
01:22Shingo Takagi.
01:23And Yamato and Aimami.
01:27And the new generation, Kota Midoriya.
01:30The time when Benkei was defeated.
01:31It's me now.
01:35Yamato said.
01:36I live in Dragon Gate.
01:37I don't want to be without Dragon Gate.
01:40That's why.
01:42It's the same for me.
01:44The champion of this year.
01:47Yamato's entrance.
01:57That's what everyone is looking at.
02:06What do they think?
02:08What do they want?
02:11What do they feel proud of?
02:14How do they live?
02:17How do they live?
02:19How do they live?
02:23Even if you fail,
02:25Even if you don't look good,
02:28If you love Dragon Gate from the bottom of your heart,
02:38The Kobe World that was born from the bottom of your heart.
02:44Yamato.
02:46The soul of Benkei.
02:49The greatness of the new generation.
02:51It's all wrapped up.
02:53And he won.
02:56This is the 6th DREAM GATE OZA TOURNAMENT.
03:02He's been on the road.
03:04And now he's on the road again.
03:08He survived the Golden Age.
03:09He survived the pandemic.
03:11He swallowed his humiliation.
03:13In a world that has never existed before.
03:15Everyone is watching me prove that I can live like this.
03:21I'm glad that Kikuta came here.
03:25It's big, young, and strong enough to make you feel fear.
03:29It's Kikuta, that's why.
03:31The fight is to stand in front of that.
03:33Because it's Yamato.
03:35He's the new challenger.
03:36He's the new challenger.
03:38He's the new challenger.
03:45The challenger, Kikuta, has returned the key to the ring.
03:55The Open the Dream Gate belt is the key to the door of dreams.
04:01It's a door design.
04:04The new champion will open the door with the key.
04:11The champion will put the key on the belt.

09:25The champion, Yamato, welcomes the 37th champion, Kikuta.
09:55You can see that Kikuta is leading the match.
10:03But Kikuta doesn't seem to feel that.
10:08Kikuta seems to be leading the match.
10:11He's lifting him up with 4 hands.
10:14That's what Takagi saw.
10:18I see.
10:20Kikuta has a double.
10:23The champion is on the edge.
10:25A shoulder tackle.
10:27This is what I've been waiting for.
10:34Kikuta seems to be getting bigger.
10:39Kikuta is 24 years old.
10:41He debuted on June 6th, 2020.
10:44Kikuta doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
10:50Kikuta doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
10:56Kikuta doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
11:02Kikuta doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
11:10Where are you going?
11:13Where are you going?
11:14He's the one who's fighting.
11:18He's the one who's fighting.
11:23Takagi's shadow is double.
11:31He's scared of standing in front of Takagi.
11:35He's scared of standing in front of Takagi.
11:39He was scared when he was in front of Benkei.
11:41He's 42 years old, but he's not perfect.
11:45He was scared of standing in front of Benkei.
11:50He was scared of standing in front of Benkei.
11:55But he won.
11:58He showed his heart in the match.
12:02It seemed that everything about him was revealed.
12:05It seemed that everything about him was revealed.
12:38He can't do anything about it.
12:40And Kikuta is the only one who can lift him up.
12:49Kikuta!
12:50He's dead!
12:52He's dead from the apron side.
12:55Yamato is trying to kill him with his right arm.
13:03But he can't.
13:05Yamato!
13:08Yamato!
13:10Yamato!
13:12Yamato!
13:14Yamato!
13:16Yamato!
13:18Yamato!
13:20Yamato!
13:22Yamato!
13:24Yamato!
13:26Yamato!
13:28Yamato!
13:30Yamato!
13:32No matter how strong he is,
13:38Young people tend to be stubborn.
13:42That's the point.
13:46He's so strong.
13:48Morohano Tsurugi.
13:50Yes, he is.
13:51He tried to lift him up with his right arm,
13:56But I'm sure he got hurt, too.
13:59I see.
14:01If I were him, I would have just escaped.
14:06He's got a lot of experience.
14:08Yes, I was there, too.
14:10He did it.
14:12Yamato is probably thinking,
14:14Which arm is it?
14:16He's looking at it.
14:18Right or left.
14:20Yamato is hoping for the right arm.
14:26He's got a lot of experience.
14:30He has to think about that, too.
14:33The same goes for DREAMGATE.
14:36I'm sure he has a lot of experience in the ring, too.
14:40This is the ultimate version of DREAMGATE.
14:43DREAMGATE!
14:45Karate-style right kick.
14:47Mochizuki is also a Karate master.
14:50Counter!
14:51That's a really interesting move.
14:55He didn't get hit, though.
14:59He's got a lot of power.
15:02Those legs are like a tree.
15:05He's using the Marutanbo.
15:08He's using the Marutanbo again.
15:10The four-letter KUBI.
15:13Kikuta is on the ground, too.
15:16It's not really a ground,
15:19He's using his legs.
15:22I think he's holding his breath, too.
15:29It's a good move, isn't it?
15:34He's holding his head tight.
15:37It's been 10 minutes.
15:39It's been another 10 minutes.
15:42It's a very intense fight.
15:47It's the same for every championship.
15:51If he'd been fighting longer,
15:54Yamato would have known he was going to switch.
15:58But he ran away.
16:00It's a rope escape.
16:01He's got his right leg.
16:04Look at Yamato's face.
16:07You can see how thick his thighs are.
16:13Can you see that, Madoka Kikuta?
16:17This is the Yamato of Dragon Gate.
16:21Yamato!
16:22His butt is even thicker.
16:24He's got a strange physique.
16:28But he's using it well.
16:31Yes.
16:33Even though he knows it, he can't use his butt.
16:38Elbow!
16:40There are a few specialists in the mat world.
16:45Yamato's eyes are moving.
16:49No matter how hard he tries, he can't use his neck.
16:55You can't measure Yamato's damage.
16:59Mochizuki said that this is his first singles match.
17:05That's right.
17:06What will happen in the first match?
17:10He dodged the lariat.
17:12Kikuta took the 3 count from Yamato.
17:19Mochizuki is using his right arm.
17:22Go to Hospital 2!
17:27He's down.
17:29Yamato...
17:30The crowd is cheering for him, but he doesn't look happy.
17:37Wait!
17:39Takagi Shingo and Double...
17:44He threw him like an exploder.
17:50This is the biggest loss for Yamato.
17:54What will happen now?
17:59Yamato wants to show the world what he's capable of.
18:10He debuted on July 29, 2006.
18:14He's been in the ring for 18 years.
18:17I'll throw you!
18:18He can't.
18:21Kikuta's right arm is still bent.
18:27That's a reverse sweep.
18:30Let's see what happens.
18:34Kikuta only has the lariat.
18:41He's going for the rolling lariat.
18:44If he continues to use the lariat, he'll forget how painful it is.
18:52I don't know if he'll be able to finish the match.
19:00I see.
19:04This may never end.
19:07This is going to be a tough match.
19:13That's why Kikuta is using his right arm.
19:17Yamato is trying to get him to use his right arm.
19:21He's trying to get him to use his right arm.
19:26He's trying to get Yamato to use his right arm.
19:30I see.
19:32This is a planned move.
19:34It's rare for Yamato to use his right arm.
19:37That's true.
19:39Yamato is still trying to use his right arm.
19:44He's trying to get him to use his right arm.
19:48That's the first sweep.
19:51Now he's going for the bicycle kick.
19:55Kikuta is holding on.
19:57He's trying to get Yamato to use his right arm.
19:59Yamato won't fall.
20:03He's trying to get Yamato to use his right arm.
20:09Yamato's hair...
20:12He's trying to get him to use his right arm.
20:15That's a dangerous move.
20:17He's going for the piledriver.
20:22I haven't seen him use the piledriver in a while.
20:27He's been saving it.
20:29He's going for the piledriver.
20:30He's going for the piledriver.
20:34I agree.
20:36He's never used the piledriver.
20:40It's been 15 minutes.
20:43He's in pain.
20:46But the piledriver...
20:48Yamato...
20:50That's...
20:53That's a big damage.
20:59The members of TADOX seem worried, too.
21:03Yamato's fight is a fight between generations.
21:08And more than that, it's a fight where the new generation acknowledges that it's great.
21:15Count 15.
21:1816.
21:22Yamato is rising.
21:24Ready?
21:26Fight!
21:29That was a good timing, wasn't it?
21:34Is he going for more?
21:35One more?
21:37Is this it?
21:42Another heavyweight attack.
21:45There are a lot of ways for Yamato to attack.
21:51Yamato's desperate counterattack.
21:55Koho starts the rally.
21:58KUSHIDASHI's third attack.
22:02What's he going to do?
22:04What's he going to do?
22:06Shiri?
22:07I don't know.
22:10That's all he can do.
22:14A face-off with Shiri.
22:17And another one.
22:21The fourth one.
22:24It would be great if KUSHIDASHI could come back.
22:28Right now?
22:29Right now.
22:31KUSHIDASHI has to come back.
22:36KUSHIDASHI's call.
22:38Is it Madoka's call?
22:40And Yamato's call.
22:41Yamato's call.
22:45A big Yokohama Budokan.
22:49He's fired up.
22:50He's going for the Rolling Lariat.
22:53He's going for the back elbow.
22:55He's going for the back elbow.
22:56And another kick.
22:58Another kick.
23:00Yamato's kick.
23:01Go to Hospital One.
23:03He's going for the Lariat.
23:06Shiri's got the bomb.
23:07He's got the German.
23:09He's got only two.
23:11The sixth one.
23:16KUSHIDASHI can't stop.
23:24He has to fight.
23:27He has to fight.
23:28He has to fight.
23:29He has to fight.
23:30He has to fight.
23:31He has to fight.
23:32He has to fight.
23:34He has to fight.
23:35They're going for the back elbow.
23:37Is this his last year?
23:39He's already over the age of his body.
23:43HIKUTA and YAMATO.
23:46Yamato can't get up.
23:49Yamato can't get up, either.
23:54And...
23:55What will he do?
23:57He's just trying to keep his chin up.
23:59He's just trying to keep his chin up.
24:00HIKU-NA.
24:01HIKU-NA.
24:02He's shouting, HIKU-NA.
24:03He's shouting, HIKU-NA.
24:06HIKU-TA's elbow.
24:09YAMATO is shaking.
24:11But he's still using his elbow.
24:14That was a chop.
24:18He's about to fall.
24:20He's about to fall.
24:23YAMATO is holding on.
24:25HIKU-TA is watching.
24:27HIKU-TA is laughing.
24:31YAMATO is YAMATO.
24:35He's been doing that for a while.
24:38HIKU-TA!
24:42YAMATO is taking him down.
24:44But he's still in a bad shape.
24:48HIKU-TA is getting up.
24:51He's rolling.
24:52He's rolling.
24:53He's rolling.
24:54Headbutt!
24:56He's got a headbutt.
24:57He's got a headbutt.
24:58He's got a headbutt.
25:00No, no, no!
25:01No, no, no!
25:02He's got the crossbar.
25:03He's got the crossbar.
25:04When I thought he got his leg back,
25:08When I thought he got his leg back,
25:14It was his right arm.
25:19It was his right arm.
25:22It was in 3 points.
25:23I didn't know it was 3 points.
25:24I didn't know it was 3 points.
25:25It was in 3 points.
25:26Kickita knows how to win along the way.
25:33Did Kikuta have no choice but to go for it?
25:39He should have just run for the rope.
25:43He couldn't make the right choice.
25:48He couldn't see the rope, could he, Kikuta?
25:54The rope was behind him.
25:56That's right.
25:58He's trying to protect his right arm, but Kikuta is trying to get close to Yamato.
26:08Yamato is looking for the rope!
26:11He's trying to grab the rope with his right arm!
26:14It's tough for Kikuta to get this close to Yamato, isn't it?
26:20It's tough, isn't it?
26:22He's got his arm out!
26:24He's going for the rope this time!
26:27He's trying to escape the rope, but he can't.
26:33Yamato can't get his feet in the ring.
26:38He's trying to get in the ring, but Kikuta's shadow is blocking his way.
26:53Because it's Yamato, Kikuta is happy to challenge for the belt.
27:02Because it's Kikuta!
27:07He's getting more and more emotional.
27:15It's not the power of his eyes, is it?
27:18He still has a chance to win this one.
27:30He's trying to find out how strong his right arm is.
27:38He's trying to get in the ring!
27:41He's got the right arm!
27:44He's got the left arm!
27:47He's got the right arm!
27:50He's got the right arm!
27:54He's got the right arm!
27:59He's got the right arm!
28:04How's that?
28:06Yamato is trying to get in the ring!
28:11He's got the right arm!
28:14They were fighting with their swords, just now.
28:20Tate vs. Yamato.
28:24Kikuta...
28:26He's running out of bullets!
28:29He's got the right arm!
28:34German Suplex!
28:38He's got the right arm!
28:41He's got the right arm!
28:48He can't get in the ring!
28:51He's got the right arm!
28:54He's got the left arm!
29:02He's got the left arm!
29:05He's got the right arm!
29:07He's been trying to get in the ring.
29:09He's got the right arm!
29:12Can he keep going?
29:16Is he out of bullets?
29:21Yamato...
29:24He's still in the ring.
29:27He's got the right arm!
29:29He's got the right arm!
29:31He's looking good.
29:33YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMAT
30:03Kikuta, Madoka, Iaiyato, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO, YAMATO
30:33And YAMATO, Kikuta is still in the game.
30:39And now, he's on the right. He's in the lead.
30:45He's in the lead.
30:47I just did my thing, but the damage is getting to me.
30:52It's getting dark in front of me.
30:54He's got the slipper hold.
30:58It's getting dark in front of him.
31:01YAMATO! YAMATO!
31:02YAMATO is on the other side of the ring.
31:06He's got the slipper hold!
31:12Kikuta is...
31:13Kikuta is...
31:14He's got the slipper hold.
31:17Kikuta is almost at the end of the line.
31:20But...
31:24Kikuta is...
31:26He's the new generation of the Reiwa Era.
31:30Benkei lost. Minowara lost.
31:33I'm the only one who can go now.
31:37That's Kikuta!
31:40The ultimate technique, Ragnarok!
31:44YAMATO can't go down now.
31:48That was like a regular Guerrilla show.
31:53A Guerrilla show?
31:55He's looking at us from this angle.
31:59Yes, from this angle.
32:04But he took the last step.
32:09He's now the 40th DREAM GATE champion.
32:12He's the first to defend his title.
32:15This is a big challenge for Kikuta.
32:25YAMATO's journey continues.
32:32Tsutsuki, you had a lot on your mind, didn't you?
32:38Well, YAMATO is still very strong-minded.
32:46When you're a champion, you have to be strong-minded for a long time.
32:55Some people can be strong-minded for a long time.
33:00But YAMATO is still very strong-minded.
33:08It's not about who's stronger or weaker.
33:11If it was about strength, Kikuta wouldn't be able to beat Madoka.
33:16That's why I didn't show him in the ring.
33:19I showed him in a small ring.
33:25I could tell that YAMATO had a lot on his mind.
33:31I see.
33:34So, Kikuta...
33:37If he's going to beat YAMATO, he has to learn how to be unfair.
33:48I think that's what he learned today.
33:53He was a bit too arrogant.
33:57It's the mic.
34:02You're not 95kg, are you?
34:07You're a heavyweight.
34:11Whatever.
34:13Whether it's you or Benkei,
34:17The words of the new generation are very reassuring for us, the older generation.
34:28It's reassuring, but we're not there yet.
34:34We're just getting started.
34:46But, Kikuta...
34:51You've only been in the ring for 4 years?
34:58You're a monster.
35:01You've been out of the ring for a year and a half, haven't you?
35:06This is the future of Dragon Gate.
35:14The future of Dragon Gate is bright.
35:18Right, Kikuta?
35:21I'm praising you from above.
35:26YAMATO-san...
35:30I've been out of the ring for a year.
35:35Even so, I don't care about the future of this title match.
35:47I'm the only one who can beat YAMATO.
35:50This is the result.
35:52In the end, I couldn't change anything.
36:00But, YAMATO-san...
36:04YAMATO-san said that he wants to show us what he's capable of.
36:08I want to show him what I'm capable of.
36:11We have the same goal.
36:14Of course, I didn't just give up on DREAM GATE.
36:19I was the one who made a mistake in DREAM GATE.
36:26I, Kikuta, will take DREAM GATE from YAMATO-san.
36:36YAMATO-san, thank you for today.
36:56YAMATO-san, congratulations.
37:27On July 21st, at Kobe Hall,
37:37In just 3 weeks, I'll have DREAM GATE title match.
37:48Give me a break!
37:52I know it's tough.
37:56I know it's summer vacation.
38:00But I don't have a summer vacation.
38:02But I can't help it.
38:07Do you know why?
38:11Do you know why?
38:14Because I'm YAMATO.
38:16I can't help it.
38:18This is my destiny.
38:21I don't have a summer vacation.
38:26Well, as Kikuta said,
38:30There were so many people here today.
38:39And thank you for watching us on DRAGON GATE.
38:46However, DRAGON GATE isn't like this.
38:52It's not like this.
38:57It's not like this.
38:59On DRAGON GATE,
39:01We, Paradox, and the champion, YAMATO,
39:11We will make sure that more people come to DRAGON GATE.
39:20And we will make sure that more people come to DRAGON GATE.
39:26We will make sure that more people come to DRAGON GATE.
39:36Thank you for your support.
39:40Thank you for today.
39:53He's from Kobe, isn't he?
39:56Yes, he is.
39:58I've been here for 3 weeks.
40:08I've been here for 3 weeks.
40:12It's tough, isn't it?
40:16I've been here a lot.
40:23It's tough to keep the same energy.
40:27YAMATO's mic was on.
40:31It was too loud.
40:35I can't keep the same energy for 3 weeks.
40:41It's tough.
40:43It's not about training.
40:48I can't keep the same energy for 3 weeks.
40:55It's not about training.
41:01It's about keeping the same energy.
41:04It's tough to keep the same energy.
41:09Stop it!
41:11What are you doing?
41:13Are you insane?
41:17Stop it!
41:19Wait a minute!
41:21What are you doing?
41:29What are you doing?
41:36I can't steal the belt.
41:39I can't steal the belt.
41:41I thought he was going to steal the belt.
41:45I thought he was going to steal the belt.
41:50This is a challenge, isn't it?
41:56This is a challenge, isn't it?
42:01This is a challenge, isn't it?
