New Sun Rising - Results and Post-Event
[All of the duels at New Sun Rising are finished and the results are up...]
Date: 7.8.2018
(SJL) Action Duel: Yuya Sakaki defeated Shingo Sawatari
(SJL) Action Duel: Shun Kurosaki defeated Sora Shiunin
(NPD) Action Duel: Timur Vesik defeated Strong Ishijima
(SJL) TITLE CHANGE: Ryozanpaku (Isao Kachidoki and Lan Zheng) won the Super Junior Tag Team Championships by last eliminating Yasha Grave and Sylvia Signer
(SJL) TITLE CHANGE: Hayate Tendou won the Super Junior Championship by defeating Yuzu Hiragi, Ryoga Kamashiro and Isao Kachidoki
(NPD) Reiji Akaba (c) and Isabel Marias dueled to a No Contest in a duel for the Action Dueling World Championship
- Full Results for the Tag Team Gauntlet Match:
1) Landrobe and Garum defeat Euphemia Wakahisa and Tsurugi Akashiro
2) Yasha Grave and Sylvia Singer defeat Landrobe and Garum
3) Yasha Grave and Sylvia Singer defeat Yaiba Todo and Hokuto Shijima
4) Yasha Grave and Sylvia Singer defeat Mayu Akiyama and Homura Khang
5) Isao Kachidoki and Lan Zheng defeat Yasha Grave and Sylvia Signer
Notes from the Night:
- The "Mystery Duelist" who challenged Yuya Sakaki turned out to be Shingo Sawatari, a duelist from Maiami City and the Leo Duel School.
- In the tag team gauntlet duel, Yasha Grave and Sylvia Signer appeared to have the gauntlet won when one more surprise team came out, Isao Kachidoki and Lan Zheng, representing Ryozanpaku. Records of the gauntlet's entry showed Kachidoki and Zheng collectively grouped with the rest of Ryozanpaku, who were thought to only have entered one team, Mayu Akiyama and Homura Khang into the Gauntlet Duel, but very shortly before deadlines to enter close, Kachidoki and Zheng changed their grouping and entered as a team themselves, also representing Ryozanpaku. Kachidoki and Zheng drew the final spot, number six, in the Gauntlet and wound up winning the duel.
- Timur Vesik and Jean Michel Roget interfered early into the main event, a duel between Isabel Marias and Reiji Akaba for the Action Dueling World Championship, attacking Isabel Marias and causing a No Contest. The NPD has released a comment saying there will be consequences for Vesik and Roget's actions and a rematch between Marias and Akaba will be scheduled ASAP.
[But the night isn't over for every duelist just yet!
There's plenty of media around to talk to duelists at various points throughout the night. They may be spoken to in the hallways, in the locker room, after their own duels, after the entire night is done and any time or place in between. There's also an area set up with tables and chairs for press conferences.
Your duelist may want to talk about the night they just had...or they may just wanna shove past all the cameras and hit an exit ASAP. Their choice.]

no subject
Jinn frankly looks quite awkward already. He's never been that great at interviews. He's trying his best to appear casually anyway, the interview is clearly taking place in the station's office.]
Thank you for meeting with us again.
Well, ah, it's no problem. If I can give any insightful commentary, I'm happy to.
So what do you think of the duels so far.
I think they've been really impressive.
They have been. Last time we talked about your perspective on Ryozanpaku as a former duelist and athlete. Has your stance on the school changed at all?
Not really.
Really? Even after all the duels, including Isao Kachidoki's behavior?
Let me clear the record here. My criticisms were never levelled at the students of Ryozanpaku. They're kids doing their best with what they've been taught, and they're seeing great results. I just question whether the methods of the school are benefitting them or holding them back.
So your criticisms are about the owner of Ryozanpaku and his philosophy?
I guess so? He talks a good piece, but at the end of the day he's pushing these kids down a road I'm not sure is good for them, in the short or long term. I think it might be beneficial for the students and that school to have the rug pulled out from under them and re-evaluate their approaches. Nobody ever challenges someone who's getting results, y'know? Action dueling might not be in vogue forever. I was a riding duelist, y'know. And even in America and Europe, where roads are more plentiful, it's still clearly secondary to standing dueling, and to action dueling. If that happens with Action dueling, it'd be a shame if these kids were so limited in their skill set.
Are you speaking from experience there?
Ha, well, you could say something like that. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish riding dueling was more popular.
So your suggestion is the success of Ryozanpaku is causing people to turn a blind-eye to the negatives?
That's always how it is. In everything. Star quarterback runs record yards in a season and everyone looks away when he punches someone in a bar. Heavyweight Champion has a temper and can't stop causing property damage, money gets thrown at it until it goes away. Get results and people ignore everything they can, especially if they're benefitting from your results.
[The interview continues at this point for a bit, with Jinn rather tactfully avoiding directly condemning Isabel for her uh, everything, and openly calling Vesik a worthless thug, before once again denying any desire to return to active pro dueling.]
