The Outsider (2018)

“In life, sometimes we fight the current, other times we go with the flow of the river.”

In 1954, nine years after the Pacific War, former US Marine Captain, Nick Lowell (Jared Leto) was arrested for petty crime and ends up in the same prison in Osaka filled with yakuza criminals. His life changed when he saved Kiyoshi (Tadanobu Asano) from certain death.

Indebted to him, Kiyoshi, took him into his Yakuza family, serving the Shiromatsu (Min Tanaka), a once formidable clan which is growing weak due to the rising clan in Kobe that is vying for power in Osaka. Nick works hard to prove his worth and loyalty to the clan.

Although, he eventually earned the respect and trust of Shiromatsu, another member, Orochi (Kippei Shiina) grew jealous of Nick and most especially after learning that his former lover, Miyu (Shioli Kutsuna) is now interested in Nick. Things start to get dicey from here on.

A story of loyalty and betrayal, as various factions within and beyond the Yakuza family clan wants control of the Shiromatsu and it’s territory of Osaka. A story of power struggle against the backdrop of a country rebuilding itself from the war and destruction of World War II.

If you love Yakuza genre films like Tokyo Vice, Black Rain and Yakuza and the Family, this one is for you. It is surprisingly good but I only manage to watch it now in 2023. The one thing I feel is that it would be better if they made it into a longer series like Tokyo Vice instead of a one off movie.

Jay White & Wrestle Kingdom

Jay White has never won a championship match at Wrestle Kingdom.

Everyone he has lost to at Wrestle Kingdom, he has also been able to beat in big matches on other occasions, often within months of his Wrestle Kingdom loss.

So early on we have:

Wrestle Kingdom 12 (2018): lost to Tana for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship

Wrestle Kingdom 13 (2019): defeated Okada, but no belt at stake

New Beginning in Osaka, Feb 2019: defeated Tana for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship

And then the pattern really sets in:

Destruction in Kobe, September 2019: defeated Naito for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship

Wrestle Kingdom 14 (2020): lost the IWGP Intercontinental Championship to Naito

Power Struggle, November 2020: defeated Ibushi for the right to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Championships

Wrestle Kingdom 15 (2021): lost to Ibushi for the IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Championships

Dominion, June 2022: defeated Okada for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship

Wrestle Kingdom 17 (2023): lost the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship to Okada

Destruction in Kobe preview

Will Ospreay vs. Yota Tsuji - Ospreay is defending the IWGP United States championship, although he's been calling it the IWGP United Kingdom title for the past six weeks. Tsuji earned this match by pinning the champion in a tag match on August 13.

I like Tsuji's whole deal as a genetic space wolf dinosaur man or whatever he's supposed to be, but I don't buy for a second that he's going to win this match. Since returning from excursion a few months ago, Tsuji has struggled to beat anyone one-on-one; his only victories have been against guys like Gabe Kidd and Shota Umino that are in the same boat. Sometimes a guy like Jay White or Hiromu Takahashi hits the ground running after excursion, but the story with the current crop is that these things take time.

Meanwhile, Ospreay is hitting his stride as a top guy in New Japan, with key wins this year over Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, and Chris Jericho. At some point he'll lay down and put over a rising star, and it might be Tsuji or someone like him. But they're already setting up Ospreay vs. Zack Sabre Jr., Englishman vs. Englishman, in London, for the "UK" title. So whatever the plan is for renaming/un-renaming this belt, I don't think we'll see it unfold until after October 14. This match is a formality for Ospreay, and Tsuji's just going to have to settle for impressing people with a solid losing effort.

Tetsuya Naito vs. Jeff Cobb - Last month Naito won the G1 Climax tournament, and earned a world title match for January 4. His first loss in the tournament was to Cobb, so Cobb issued a challenge for this matchup.

It used to be traditional in a situation like this for the G1 winner to put his title shot on the line. Last year, however, Kazuchika Okada flat-out declined to defend the contract, which seems to have ended the tradition. On the other hand, Naito has suggested that he wouldn't care about trying to win this match unless the contract is at stake. So it seems like Naito wants to defend his title shot, but New Japan won't let him...for some reason. "We can't decide if this is a lame duck match or not" is a weird way to promote a show.

It doesn't make any sense for Naito to lose to anyone before January 4, unless they're setting up someone to take his place in that match. And with all due respect to Cobb, I don't think he's getting that spot this time around. This match is another formality.

Shingo Takagi vs. Great-O-Khan - Takagi is 2-0 against Khan in singles matches. The story for Khan this year has been a series of failures and setbacks. It seemed to me that Taichi kinda lit a fire under him in the G1 Climax tournament, but I'm not sure that's an actual plot point they're going to follow up on. In any event, he's looking for a win over Shingo to get back on track. I don't know if beating Khan will really mean much for Takagi at this point, but then that's just another reason to give Khan a win he badly needs.

YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto vs. Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls - Bishamon (Yoshi and Goto) are defending the IWGP heavyweight tag team title. Whoever wins this match will likely carry the belts into November's World Tag League. This is the third match between the two teams; so for Bishamon is 2-0. I guess there could be a title change here, but I'm not sure there's much point. If it was me I'd keep the belts on Bishamon all the way to January 4. But Haste and Nicholls could pull off the upset.

Taichi vs. SHO - Taichi's KOPW belt is on the line; whoever holds it at the end of the year will be the KOPW 2023 champion. As is standard for KOPW matches, the participants proposed special rules for this contest, for the fans to vote on. Taichi's "seconds handcuffed" rules won, so there will be no time limit and Sho's seconds (EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, and Dick Togo) will be handcuffed Taichi's seconds (SANADA, DOUKI, and TAKA Michinoku), to discourage interference.

The most interesting factor in this match is that Sanada and Evil are scheduled to face off for the IWGP world title on October 9. Handcuffing them to each other may make this bout a fair fight, but it sets up the possibility of Evil working over Sanada's biceps injury, like he did last month.

As far Taichi and Sho go, I suppose this could go either way, but that's mainly because the KOPW title is utterly pointless, so there's no harm in putting in a bunch of crappy Sho matches for a while. Taichi really doesn't need the belt to keep moving onward and upward, so some heel shenanigans to cost him the win are definitely possible.

Kazuchika Okada & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Zack Sabre Jr. & Bad Dude Tito - This feels kind of random, since both teams have nothing better to do right now. Sabre's next destination is a big AEW match with Bryan Danielson, and Okada and Ishii are awaiting their own interpromotional bout against guys from Impact Wrestling, and none of those guys are in town to preview anything. I almot forgot Tito was still around and part of Sabre's TMDK faction. I assume he's in this match to lose the fall.

Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI vs. Lio Rush & YOH - Takahashi is set to defend the IWGP junior title against Rush and Mike Bailey in a three-way on October 9. Rush was a solid babyface the last time he was in Japan, but he's turned heel in Impact Wrestling. Despite this, he's apparently still in CHAOS and partnered with Yoh, but that could change at a moment's notice. Bushi should probably take the pin here.

David Finlay & Alex Coughlin & Gabe Kidd & Chase Owens & Gedo vs. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa & Hikuleo & El Phantasmo & Jado - This is a preview of three different matches on October 9: Finlay vs. Tama, Chase vs. Tanga, and Kidd-Coughlin vs. ELP-Hikuleo. Gedo and Jado are just there to be old guys that can lose the fall for their respective teams.

SANADA & DOUKI & TAKA Michinoku vs. EVIL & Yujiro Takahashi & Dick Togo - Sanada will defend the IWGP world title against Evil on October 9. After this match, all six of these guys will be handcuffed to each other during Taichi vs. Sho, as noted above. I'm sure that'll play into the psychology here, with the House of Torture trying to gain an advantage over Sanada's team. Other than that it really doesn't matter who wins this one.

Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors vs. Kevin Knight & Tiger Mask - Moloney and Connors are the IWGP junior tag team champions, and they'll defend the title against Knight and KUSHIDA on October 9; in this match, however, the belts aren't at stake. Seems kind of strange to do a two-on-two match to preview a slightly different two-on-two match, but oh well. Tiger Mask has to get beat in this one.
