The last two qualifying fights for the G1 Climax were carried out. First, Satoshi Kojima and Ryohei Oiwa met for the last place of Group A. Oiwa was originally scheduled to face Don Falele, but he could not fight for a family problem, so Kojima entered the relay. The encounter was Recio, Kojima hoped to return to G1 after eight years of absence and took advantage of all his experience. But Oiwa's impetus was the factor that inclined the balance in his favor by using The Grip at the crucial moment, although Kojima counterattacked with a lariat. Then he tried a final bond, but Oiwa avoided and unleashed The Grip, which earned him the opportunity to compete in the G1 for the first time.
The last site of Group B was disputed between Yoshi-Hahi and Chase Owens. He began by pressing with a High Noon and C-Triggers attack, but Yoshi-Hahi avoided the Last Testament. Then, Yoshi-Hashi showed a furious counterattack, finally defeating Owens with Karma to qualify for the G1 for the first time in two years.
In the semifinal, the Never Open Third Championship was played, with Hontai (Yano Toru, Yoh and Master Wato) challenging the Narita Ren, Takahashi Yujiro and Hot shoe champions. The champions launched their scepter for the first time, doing a joint work full of irregularities illegal. Yoshinobu Kanemaru intervened in favor of Hot, spraying from whiskey to Yano, but could not prevent him from hitting Yujiro. Then Yoh launched a sack of rice over Yujiro to distract him so that Yano would take him to the touch on his back and take the title.
In the star shift, Hiroshi Tanahashi challenged Gabe Kidd for the Global IWGP full weight championship. This fight occurred after Gabe was crowned in Dominion and released his challenge to Ace of Universe. The battle was dizzying, with Tanahashi demonstrating its determination, throwing an air attack from the top of the corner to Gabe to get it out of the ring. The fight became increasingly intense, and Gabe punished a sling Blade that broke the rules. However, Tanahashi dodged the following air attack and responded in the same way. But Gabe did not allow three. In the end, Gabe stopped Tanahashi's attack with a slap, and then dominated him with a Piledriver to obtain a great victory and defend his belt for the first time.
