19:00 There's a great film reference in Part 4 that I didn't mention in the doc, but I absolutely love: When Kzy told Jason "Don't think. Feel." he was referencing Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon. Jason Lee patterned his wrestling style (and name) after Bruce Lee, and Kzy knew that. It may have been what made up Jason's mind. “Don't think. FEEL. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all of the heavenly glory.” -Bruce Lee
This video has gotten me very interested in DG. It seems like a wrestler can join or leave a faction at any time which keeps the product fresh. Another small thing I really liked that I gathered from this video was how members of each faction have matching gear! It made the Triangle Gate matches you linked a lot easier to watch.
Yes! That's one of the big draws of DG - the gear and logos make it very easy to tell who's together, and unit betrayals are a BIG deal, usually more than individual feuds (Stardom has a similar format). Check out my follow-up "How to Get Into Dragongate" if you haven't yet, it tells you all you need to get started.
Still one of the best wrestling video essay series I've seen, especially when it comes to quality > quantity. Hope you continue to do more content like this in the future!
Yeah, it's unfortunate. But I don't believe the door is closed permanently - I never thought I'd see Ultimo or Shuji back either. Z-Brats needs to start recruiting fast though, or reform a new unit.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and it's got me hooked, I have no idea how this doesn't have more support, I'm so fucking invested in Shun being out of his damn mind! Also I loved that you used DEADLOCK Pro footage, they're having a hell of a year!
Hey man I just want say since watching this series of video essays in September, I've gotten into DG and since then it has become one of my favourite Wrestling Promotions right now.
Truly brilliant! Heard the name Shun Skywalker and went on TH-cam to learn who he was. Came across your video and loved it!! Liked and subscribed. Keep doing amazing work
Thank you! I'm 100% planning on a Part 5 (or separate sequel video since it's not technically Masquerade), but I want to see how the story unfolds a little more before getting into it.
Honestly not surprised there is no Star Wars connections, it uses the classic meaning and use of the name from back when people stood on the wings of biplanes in sky shows as they performed numerous stunts, who were called skywalkers or as the nickname he has of 'The man who flew over the sky" implies. Also is that where Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish's REDragon name comes from R.E.D and Dragon...gate fused?
I'd like to at some point, but work is going to be busy coming out of this winter. There's a quick history in my "How to Get Into Dragongate" video, but ideally I'd like to go year-by-year and talk about each unit. Maybe if things settle down later in the year.
Most of it was Korakuen shows and PPVs, so they should all be up on the Network. The only ones you might not find are the smaller touring shows, and Final Gate which have some kind of broadcasting rights issues. If you know the dates for missing ones, you can probably find them on Bilibili or Youku.
He had a brief obsession with Kzy, but went on US excursion after that. So I think a part 5 would be about how he's been torturing Kikuta, but that story isn't complete yet.
It's Shun's old theme, called "Fly Over the Sky". You can also hear his heel remix at the end of the video, which is called "Fly Over the Sky ~ Psychopathy"

ya know i think this does a good job in telling the BASICS of the story leading into DOA 2024, may make a good hype vid for it...

Thank you! My next project is a series about Ultimo's 10 belts. Not sure when it'll be done, but I've already got the voice tracks laid down.
This was amazing. Great storyline but even better breakdown of it.
Appreciate it!
this is phenomenal mate, please do more of these!
Wow this is incredible I've struggled to get into dragon gate but this was a excellent breakdown of an extremely interesting storyline. thank you!
Thanks! Check my other DG videos, I have a guide on how to get into it more easily.
I know ths video is six months old, but goddamn, this opened my eyes to what a loss SB Kento is gonna be
Yeah, it's unfortunate. But I don't believe the door is closed permanently - I never thought I'd see Ultimo or Shuji back either. Z-Brats needs to start recruiting fast though, or reform a new unit.
Finally watched this, excellent stuff. Made me even more excited to see Shun live in the UK in Feb.
This is amazing. Please keep making Dragon Gate videos!
This is a great essay video.

This was great, just started watching the promotion!
Hey man I just want say since watching this series of video essays in September, I've gotten into DG and since then it has become one of my favourite Wrestling Promotions right now.
Glad to help! DG has been my favorite for a long time, so I'm always glad to hear from people who I helped get into it too.
Truly brilliant! Heard the name Shun Skywalker and went on TH-cam to learn who he was. Came across your video and loved it!! Liked and subscribed. Keep doing amazing work
Thank you! Shun's still at it these days, but his feuds are more with former Z-Brats members than Masquerade now.
Coming back to this video after Jason joined Z-Brats stings a bit.
I plan to make a part 5 once I see where the story ends up.
This still rules so hard, Mark. Hopefully we get a Part 5 at some point, given Jason's recent turn.
Thank you! I'm 100% planning on a Part 5 (or separate sequel video since it's not technically Masquerade), but I want to see how the story unfolds a little more before getting into it.
love this unit :3 and shun is amazing :3
Great video
Man this was incredible, bless you
It's great seeing this in whole again. Good stuff!
that was awesome clap clap clap clap clap

I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS ON MY FIRST VIEWING BUT WTF LA ESTRELIA WAS IN DPW?!
He was being booked everywhere for a while! I actually saw him two nights in a row in Defy & Prestige about a year ago.
@@gutsdozerDamn, good for him, thats some good exposure
W video 🔥
Bro we need more, any chance of getting a ‘history of Dragon Gate’ documentary?
I'd like to at some point, but work is going to be busy coming out of this winter. There's a quick history in my "How to Get Into Dragongate" video, but ideally I'd like to go year-by-year and talk about each unit. Maybe if things settle down later in the year.
@@gutsdozer That’d be great, keep up the good work 🤟🏽
I am wondering if I can watch all of this happen still? like watch the full shows and such?
Most of it was Korakuen shows and PPVs, so they should all be up on the Network. The only ones you might not find are the smaller touring shows, and Final Gate which have some kind of broadcasting rights issues. If you know the dates for missing ones, you can probably find them on Bilibili or Youku.
I'm gonna need a part 5

@@gutsdozer this video series makes me want to stop watching everything else and dedicate my time to dg only.
whats the name of the song at 3:14
It's Shun's old theme, called "Fly Over the Sky". You can also hear his heel remix at the end of the video, which is called "Fly Over the Sky ~ Psychopathy"
20:21 why that face though
Number 2 is pro wrestling noah
I have a whole other video about it in this playlist. It really depends on what you're measuring by.
