Jun Kasai brings a different element to the BOSJ.    His deathmatch tactics are accepted because it is Jun Kasai and the crowd loves what he does.    However, it does take away some of the mystique from the tournament and makes Kasai's matches a "must see" to see the crazy things he will do.    Fujita did seem excited to face Kasai and more than willing to bleed.
