Live from Ichigaya Square, as Baliyan Akki begins by talking about how for at least the first 50 ChocoPro episodes, they always said it might be their last show. Now they feel stronger than ever and 300 is so momentous they will be having two days of matches to commemorate.
Tag Team Match
Black Comaneci (Antonio Honda & Tokiko Kirihara) vs. SAKI & Yuko Sakurai (From COLOR’S)
Match begins with a series of back switches from Yuko and Tokiko with a rollup attempt. Honda and Saki tag in which sees an armringer with reversals into a hammerlock that leads to a snapmare into a rollup for a near fall. Saki rips off the headband of Honda weakening him so he can’t stand up from the mat. Honda calls for a timeout that leads to Black Comaneci using the grabber tools to pinch behind referee Mei’s back. Honda pulls out a toy gun and begins firing toy balls. Saki gets the hot tag and gets cut off by a neckbreaker by Honda. Tokiko lands a claw/STO on Saki then slaps on an armbar, Yuko runs in and Honda gets suplexed onto Tokiko. All four do the now patented flip flop and fly routine of Black Comaneci matches, Honda uses a paper fan but nails Tokiko and Saki gets the pin. (10:20)
Singles Match
Sayaka Obihiro vs. Tae Honma
Both go into a lockup and transition into arm ringer spots, but Tae screams in Obihiro’s face to get the advantage. Obi counters into her leg choke but Tae counters and goes for a Boston crab. Obi fires off a huge smack and the two begin trading massive strikes. Obi with another strike before Tae takes her down into a Fujiwara arm bar. Obihara gets a break but gets knocked into the alley. Tae hits a running dropkick for a big nearfall. Things break down into another chop and forearm exchange before they each get pin attempts. Tae slaps on a mounted Fujiwara arm bar for the submission victory. Post match both start striking each other again before walking away. (10:00)

Brookes and Sayaka begin and Sayaka lands a giant slap, they both tag out as Chie and Takanashi trade guillotines.

Hope spot from Sayaka via front kicks but gets cut off with an over the window armbreaker. They start trading kicks and forearms and Sayaka lands a dropkick on Brookes. Chie with a big flurry of offense before nailing a giant chop that sounds like a gunshot and slapping on an octopus hold. Things break down as Sayaka gets nailed with a draping window dropkick but Chie gets a guillotine into a swinging DDT. Orepan stereo dropkicks but Brookes hits a wicked piledriver on Sayaka and cinches in a hanging cloverleaf. Brookes then hits some incredibly stiff chops to Sayaka before they start trading chops and forearms that lead to both slapping each other repeatedly. Brookes gets the better of the exchange and gets the cloverleaf again for the submission win. (24:25)
Janken Tournament
Chie loses to Honda
Final surprise entrant Minoru Fujita beats Honda to win the chocolate.
Day one was an extremely fun show that was the usual mixture of fun experimental wrestling and absolutely brutal wars. Tae Honma vs Obihari is perhaps the best 10min or under match this year. The main even highlights how far Chie and Sayaka have develop even when factoring in they were against two seasoned veterans in Chris Brookes and Takanashi.
