We are pleased to announce that Wolf Arron, who transitioned from judo to professional wrestling, will participate in 'Take 3 Counts from Wolf Arron and Get 10 Million Yen,' a highlight of the '30-Hour Limit Break Festival.' Part 1 will be broadcast starting at 3:30 PM on Saturday, April 11, and Part 2 at 9:00 PM. This marks the return of the '10 Million Yen Series' after a five-year hiatus since 'Win a Street Fight Against Ryoma Maekawa and Get 10 Million Yen' in 2021. The rules are a 4-minute single round match, with victory achieved by 'securing a three-count by pinning the opponent's back to the mat' or 'winning by submission through a throw.' All striking techniques, joint locks, chokeholds, attacks to the groin, and biting are prohibited. Both participants will wear judo uniforms.

The MC for Part 1 will be Nyusu, and the MC for Part 2 will be Junji Chihara. Anna Nakagawa, a former NHK announcer, will serve as the assistant MC for both parts. Shigeki Kiyono will be the announcer, with Hiroshi Tateno and Yuji Nagata from New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and judoka Hiroshi Izumi serving as commentators. Guests will include Natsumi Tsunoda, a gold medalist, as well as celebrity fans of martial arts like Tsutomu Sekine and Katsuya Katsuya, and those with deep knowledge of martial arts such as Asuka Kishi, Rina Hashimoto, and Saya Kamiya.

In Part 1, which took place starting at 3:30 PM on Saturday, April 11, Kakarotani Kuriya, who is burdened by 10 million yen in debt due to fraud and is fighting with his back against the wall, was the top contender. In his pre-match introduction video, Kuriya expressed his earnest desire, saying, "(My wife) will be happy if I can pay back the 10 million yen." He added, "There won't be another 'Win 10 Million Yen' opportunity like this. M-1 is impossible..." Once in the ring, he played a narcissistic character, blowing a 'flying kiss' to the camera and appearing confident. However, as soon as the bell rang, he moved around the ring, keeping his distance from Wolf. Within a minute of the start, he was defeated by an Ouchi Gari throw by Wolf. In the post-match interview, Wolf commented with confidence, "It was a good warm-up," and "I tried to use gentle techniques as much as possible to avoid injuring him by using a big throw." In contrast, Kuriya lamented, "I could have won," to which MC Yashiki of Nyusu retorted, "You could have won? You're a sore loser!"

The second challenger was Ryuki Fujimoto, a monster boasting a bench press record of 400kg. Fujimoto had previously defeated Wolf in a 'wall-pushing contest.' As soon as the match began, Fujimoto attempted a tackle and they engaged in a clinch. After 37 seconds, Fujimoto was defeated by an Uchimata throw by Wolf, marking a surprisingly anticlimactic end. After the match, Wolf expressed surprise at Fujimoto's power, stating, "When he tried to counter with strength, he didn't move much, so I pressured him while breaking his posture and managed to execute the Uchimata." He added, "At the start, his power was comparable to that of a foreign athlete." Fujimoto commented, "I went for the tackle first, but I was stopped there, so it felt like the game was over at that point." He recalled the end of the match, saying, "It felt like everything was a trap for Uchimata," and "Before I knew it, the lights were dazzling my eyes."

Following Fujimoto's match, Yoshio Itoi, a former professional baseball player known as 'Choujin' (Superhuman), who was scheduled to compete, announced his sudden withdrawal due to a 'pulled back muscle.' Despite training until the day before the event, he injured his back and received a doctor's stop. As shock rippled through the venue, Itoi was announced to participate as a cornerman for Nokkon Terada, who was next to compete.

Finally, Nokkon Terada, a physically strong former rugby player who had long dreamed of participating in the '10 Million Yen Series,' made his appearance. Before the match, a video highlighting the bond between Nokkon Terada and his family was shown. He spoke about his past, saying, "It took time to have children," and "I have six children, but we've also had miscarriages." Aiming for victory as the breadwinner for his family, Nokkon Terada energized the venue with his showmanship, such as lifting a pipe chair in the waiting room for his warm-up.

With his family watching from the audience, Nokkon entered the ring. As soon as the bell rang, he attempted a tackle and they clinched. However, after just 18 seconds, Wolf executed an Uchimata throw, ending the match. Guest Tsunoda calmly analyzed, "I was worried about Nokkon Terada's tackle, but once they locked up, if he put his weight forward from that position, it would become easier for Wolf to execute his Uchimata." This prompted Nokkon Terada to exclaim, "You try it!" eliciting laughter.

In the post-match interview, Wolf said, "Although I won, I feel like I did something terrible..." He added, "I think he was trying to grab the belt," indicating he had seen through Nokkon Terada's strategy. Nokkon Terada protested, "How could you throw like that after seeing such a moving (introduction) video?" Wolf replied, "I knew your children were on the left side of the ring, so I threw you to the right." Nokkon Terada then jokingly appealed for sympathy, saying, "Look at my children's faces! I thought we could go to Hawaii (with the 10 million yen)!" drawing laughter from the audience.
