1. [Link to the YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFxlrCUm6MQ). No official English subtitles at this point in time, but it is fun seeing some of the interactions while being supplemented by the transcript in the article.

   **Taichi: No Time Limit, Limited Finishers Ten Count Match**

   Similar to the last match, except this time, it’s up to 10, not 30. Also, Taichi can only use the Gedo Clutch to accumulate counts, while Takagi can only use the Ground Cobra to accumulate counts

   **Takagi: Ten Minute, Unlimited Pinfall Scramble Match**

   Again, similar to the last match, but instead of going to 30 points, there’s a 10 minute time limit.

   ​

   Personally, I went with Taichi’s last time, but this time, I think I’ll vote for Shingo. It seems like it’ll be a short match either way, but I feel like the limited finisher thing will, well, limit the match a bit more.

2. I like Shingo’s this time. A 10 minute pinfall contest should take the exciting last parts of the last match and make something nice and sweet.

   I just hope they have a proper scoreboard this time. They should get a basketball scoreboard and keep proper track of the time and the number of pins. Last time they had the pin counts coming in from some dude typing in the number into a google doc or something, and that was just embarrassing.

3. Love Shingo‘s stipulation. A 10 minute full throttle match sounds like fun.

4. The bickering back and forth between the two is amazing. I’m sure the 10 minute stipulation will win the vote and it’s the one I what I want to see.

5. I hope Shingo’s wins and the match is essentially an abridged version of the 30 count match.

   I really like the idea of it as a fun sprint sandwiched in between a lot of matches that are likely to go 20+ minutes.

6. I think that Shingo’s match sounds better, as much as I want Taichi to win for the possibility that we get the KOPW Trophy Casino Battle Royale with Taichi as the Joker, that seems unlikely, and if Shingo wins, which in his stipulation, seems pretty likely, then he’s talking about making a belt for KOPW instead, which could be really interesting.

7. Has to be Shingo’s suggestion. Taichi’s sounds good but also a bit too convoluted for my liking, whereas Shingo’s suggestion is basically “10 minutes, lets fuck each other up as much as humanly possible” and it really is a fantastic idea, and I’m very much looking forward to the match, moreso if it’s Shingo’s suggestion.

8. what a great feud. everything taichi does is hilarious and everything shingo does is amazing
