Welcome to the biggest CAGE in the world

[] "Considering how you can count his number of matches on one hand, well I believe you need a digit or two from the second now, it seems a bit early to rate him. Yes, he is absolutely a nepo. However, he is far from a talentless nepo. Yes, he has been given a lot very early on, to an absurd degree, but at least he has a level of talent to back it up decently. Now giving him a 0 entirely because he's a nepo is absurd because he's actually quite good, but once again he needs to develop his own character soon because you can't build a career off of being the son of someone."

[8.0] "Best match of the tournament so far. Wasn't impressed with the Swirl in their first match of the tournament, but they turned my opinion around with this one"

[5.0] "This didn't do anything too special but it had a surprisingly fun and scrappy atmosphere for being in front of such a relatively small crowd, and it was impressive how all 6 kept that energy up the whole way. Unsurprisingly, the demolishing offence of Higuchi and the lovely MMA stylings of Sakaguchi were the highlights here, but I also thought Sakurai played a decently fiery underdog and that Katsuzaki had good energy as his team's enforcer. I'm never a big fan of inter-gender wrestling, but even Saki and Harumi were utilised okay here, since their offence against their respective male opponents mostly came in the form of them building upon the efforts of their male tag partners, helping to set up group spots and sequences, and going for well-timed sneak attacks, which thankfully meant I never really had to shake my head in disbelief that these small and skinny women were overpowering their far larger and more physical male opponents. One thing that did really bug was was the camera work, since the camera man was for some reason obsessed with CONSTANTLY trying to time zoom-ins with the wrestlers' various attacks, which made for a bit of a headache-including watch at times. Despite my general praise, at the end of the day this match was mostly carried by Higuchi and Sakaguchi's highlight moments, with everything else mostly just being acceptable and carried by the general energy of the invested crowd, so I can't rate it too highly but I did think it was an okay watch. **3/4"
