All teams were in action on Wednesday, providing Golden Week entertainment for fans across the nation. A one-day spectacle that deviates from the back-to-back days of regular-season action, the tactical adjustments that take place between games and the physical and mental exhaustion that teams cope with.

The Brex, a dynamic all-around squad under former coach Tom Wisman during their 2016-17 title-winning season, are a pesky, in-sync collection of players who've embraced new bench boss Ryuzo Anzai's brand of demonic defense.
