The event took place on June 10, 2024, in Tokyo, Japan, at the Korakuen Hall. The event aired live on NJPW's streaming service NJPW World as a pay-per-view (PPV) in both English and Japanese commentaries.
A hard and unsparing look at the work of wrestler KASAI Jun, nicknamed Crazy Monkey, who competes mostly in so-called death matches, a brutal style of wrestling focused on bodily harm. At times fun and exciting, at other times brutal and melancholy, the film shines a light on a subculture that has long remained in the shadows.
Jun Kasai is a Japanese professional wrestler, primarily competing for Pro Wrestling Freedoms. Dubbed the Crazy Monkey for his violent and often self-harmful style of hardcore wrestling, Kasai is considered a breakthrough talent in Japanese wrestling, able to work both hardcore and technical styles. Outside Freedoms, Kasai has worked for the original Pro Wrestling Zero-One, Hustle, Ice Ribbon, Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) and Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW).
