U-17 World Cup: Group Stage vs. Japan
Aporon and his brother Orion represented Greece in the D1 match against Japan's Akaya Kirihara and Atsukyō Tōno.
Initially, the Stephanopoulos brothers were on the defensive against Kirihara's aggressive play and Tōno's own execution techniques.
The match's turning point came when Tōno, after reciting a passage from the Gospel of John, realized he was facing the notorious Stephanopoulos clan.
Tōno lost his composure so completely that he struck his own partner, Kirihara, with one of his moves, immobilizing him.
Aporon seized the opportunity, unleashing "Greek-style Execution Method CMXIII (913): Wish Plate Smashing" to break Tōno's knee.
With the momentum shifted, Aporon declared stoning to be the "ultimate execution" and proceeded to brutally torture Tōno with a barrage of other techniques.
Despite being battered, Tōno managed to continue landing his own execution moves on Aporon.
Ultimately, Aporon "received the interpretation" of Tōno's techniques, causing him to hallucinate his own neck snapping and leaving his body completely paralyzed.
Aporon and Orion consequently lost the match with a score of 4-6.
