Destiny was the first Destiny professional wrestling event produced by Pro Wrestling Noah. The event took place on July 18, 2005 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, and marked Noah's second event to take place in the arena, after 2004's Departure.
The main event was marketed as the last match between longtime rivals Toshiaki Kawada and Mitsuharu Misawa, who, once both signed to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), had since gone separate ways, with Kawada remaining in All Japan and Misawa leaving to form Noah.
In other major matches on the event, Kenta Kobashi faced Kensuke Sasaki, which marked Sasaki's first appearance in his future home promotion, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru defended the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship against Kenta. The show featured participation from other promotions, including New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), with Hiroshi Tanahashi representing the promotion to challenge Takeshi Rikio for the GHC Heavyweight Championship.
