00:43A technician who is always looking for growth.
00:45A technician who is always looking for growth.
00:47He used to be against Suzuki in the NOAH tournament.
00:51Now he is in the middle of the invasion of New Japan.
00:56Is his spirit burning for the invasion, or is it a path to growth?
01:01Is his spirit burning for the invasion, or is it a path to growth?
01:02The bond he had with Katsuyori Shibata is now in Suzuki's hands.
01:09His desire for the title is now in his hands.
01:12Will he be able to hold on to it, even with this new title?
01:20He said he's really excited.
01:26Zack Sabre Jr. has made a big cry.
01:30He's now on the ring.
01:48This is the first time Zack Sabre Jr. has made his debut in G1.
01:56This is the first time Zack Sabre Jr. has made his debut in G1.
01:58He looks serious as he continues.
02:01He has lost all his pride and is building on his lost pride.
02:06Now he is able to get this title to the people.
02:10But he hasn't achieved anything yet.
02:15He hasn't done it yet.
02:17He has a chance to prove his determination in February.
02:20He couldn't get his hands on the belt.
02:23February, Hokkaido. February, Never, Goto. April, Oita, Beppu, Intercontinental, Shibata.
02:30He couldn't get his hands on all of them.
02:32However, Yaoki Nanakorobi is determined to get his hands on the belt.
02:39Juice Robinson is determined to get his hands on the belt.
02:50JUICE ROBINSON GETS HIS HANDS ON THE BELT
03:13Now, the bell has rung.
03:16JUICE ROBINSON GETS HIS HANDS ON THE BELT
03:47In February, Juice Robinson challenged Goto for the NEVER title.
03:51He couldn't get his hands on the belt.
03:53In April, Oita, Beppu, and Naito challenged for the IWGP Intercontinental title.
04:00He couldn't get his hands on all of them.
04:04Kanazawa, you're determined to get your hands on the new belt.
04:07I'm sure that's the same for Zack Sabre Jr.
04:11Since he joined New Japan in October 2015,
04:19He's been working hard for over a year.
04:22He's been working hard for over a year.
04:26His dreams have finally come true.
04:30He's been in the Tokyo Dome, he's challenged Goto, and he's got his hands on the belt.
04:34Now, it's all about the results.
04:37Ibushi, you've made it this far.
04:41But it's a big difference for a pro-wrestler to know if he's got what it takes or not.
04:46That's right. I haven't had a lot of results in New Japan, yet.
04:56Ibushi, you've made it this far. It's all about the results.
05:03Before that, Juice Robinson said that he wants to leave a mark on the US Heavyweight division.
05:11That's right.
05:14Kanazawa, you said in your last interview that you're a dark horse.
05:19Yes.
05:22That's why you said you wanted to win this belt.
05:27But Zack Sabre Jr. went to get his hands on the belt.
05:31Zack Sabre Jr. is going for it.
05:34He's going for it.
05:38Zack Sabre Jr. is a very strong wrestler.
05:43Yes, he is.
05:45He's a very strong wrestler, and he's a very good catcher, too.
05:54He's got a good arm bar, too.
05:58Arm bar, and...
06:01He's got a good arm bar, and a good arm bar, too.
06:06He's got a good arm bar, and a good arm bar, too.
06:11Ibushi, you seem to be going for the details.
06:14Yes, I am. I'm trying to figure out how to get my hands on the belt.
06:19I'm learning a lot from Zack Sabre, too.
06:24I see.
06:25We're in the same block.
06:26Yes, Zack Sabre Jr. is in the same block as Ibushi.
06:33He's going for the details.
06:38He's grabbing his hair.
06:41Kanazawa is going for the details.
06:49This is where things changed after he joined Sugi-gun.
06:52Yes, that's right.
06:54He was the representative of the right-wing, but he's changed, hasn't he?
06:59Yes, I think so, too.
07:02He's been fighting with a bad heart.
07:08But I think he's been fighting for growth, too.
07:14Of course, he wants to get the belt, and the top spot in New Japan.
07:21That's why he joined Sugi-gun.
07:28He's trying to get his hands on the belt, too.
07:32He's trying to get his hands on the belt, too.
07:35But Zack Sabre is lifting the belt.
07:39The Princess Throne.
07:45It's going to be a one-sided attack.
07:47But Ibushi's arm is in a lot of damage.
07:51Yes, it is.
07:53Zack Sabre has no choice but to restrain his arm.
07:56There's a huge difference in weight between the two of them.
08:00The difference in weight is 15kg.
08:02Zack Sabre Jr. is 85kg, and Juice Robinson is 100kg.
08:09He's grabbing his arm, and he's trying to grab his arm from the front.
08:16The rope is a little too far.
08:19Kanazawa's elbow is in a dangerous position.
08:26He's trying to grab his shoulder.
08:28He's trying to grab his shoulder.
08:33He's trying to grab his shoulder, but he can't.
08:39He's trying to grab his shoulder, but he can't.
08:42It's going to be hard for Ibushi to defend against Zack Sabre.
08:45It's going to be hard for him to defend against Zack Sabre.
08:53I think Ibushi is the most difficult opponent to defend against.
08:58That's right.
08:59His style is almost exactly the opposite of Zack Sabre's.
09:05Juice Robinson is trying to grab his shoulder from the cannonball.
09:10He's trying to grab his shoulder, but he's getting hit.
09:13Kanazawa is good at hitting people.
09:16He's good at European uppercuts.
09:18He's trying to get a grip on the rope.
09:21He's reading the ropes.
09:24He's spinning the rope around.
09:27Japanese leg roll clutch hold.
09:29It's a Japanese leg roll clutch hold.
09:35He grabs his arm.
09:37Zack Sabre Jr.
09:39He kicks him away.
09:41He's good at that.
09:48But the fight doesn't last long.
09:51Juice Robinson's damage is getting worse.
09:55Zack Sabre was in the NOAH ring for a long time.
09:59He was a junior.
10:01He's good at light, fast movements.
10:06He's fighting as a heavyweight now that he's in New Japan.
10:15Juice Robinson's left arm is being attacked from all angles.
10:24He's trying to provoke him.
10:28Ibuki, you're getting angry, aren't you?
10:32It's hard to do that.
10:34It's scary.
10:36It's not good to be so aggressive.
10:38That's right.
10:40You have to be calm.
10:43Zack should stay calm.
10:44I see.
10:48He's facing him.
10:53But he's using his left leg.
10:59Juice Robinson is trying to grab his face.
11:05He's trying to get his arm back.
11:09He's got it.

12:18Juice is calling for the belt.
12:22He's using his left arm to get his arm back.
12:28He's got his arm back.
12:32Will he be able to get his arm back?
12:34No, he's not able to.
12:36This is amazing.
12:38Kanazawa is in the corner.
12:42He's got his shoulder.
12:46And...
12:48Let me go, Yusuke!
