[7.0] "really good show. the undercard delivered and it was nice to see majirabi back together after so long. saki akai had a nice final tjpw farewell match. the main event was a tag match but the history between saki and misao really shined through. all good things come to an end."

[8.0] "This was a show with a purpose that had a card with a purpose. It was easily able to surpass the average house show. The matches mostly delivered, with the opening match overdelivering. Also, the Shinjuku FACE crowd was fantastic. They came out in strong numbers for the occasion of Saki Akai's final TJPW appearance and were loud throughout the show. The Next Generation Tournament got off to a good start, and the Saki Akai involvement brought the humor and heart that TJPW does so well."

[7.0] "Certainly one of the most feel-good pro-wrestling shows this year. Even though Saki Akai (and some people that looked oddly familiar) was a guest in TJPW most of the time, TJPW wrestlers united together to create a memorable show for everyone involved. I wouldn't recommend cherry-pick any matches, but from start to finish this show can serve as an identity-maker for fans that started TJPW relatively recently."

[8.0] "Fun send off for Saki. Would have liked her final match to have been a little longer, but it worked for what it is. The final send off is fun seeing everyone getting their stuff in, work the crowd a wee bit. Hope Saki enjoys life post wrestling."

[9.0] "Like the other reviewers have already stated, this was such a pleasant and intimate show for the occasion. Korakuen is the only stage more fitting, but maybe that was unavailable at the time. Saki Akai was a pleasure to watch throughout her time in TJPW and this show was a really good way to cap off her career. It started with a pair of tournament matches for the rookies, both of which were fine. Both trios matches were fun, and MagiRabi vs Daisy Monkey was a tournament level match as well. Saki's retirement tag match was hilarious and perfectly done. The handicap gauntlet, which is always a perfect staple for Japanese retirements, was exactly that. It was tons of fun, had its fair share of highlights including Tenma's return appearance and Koda getting beat up, and ended right. The crowd was good, the setting was intimate as mentioned and it was 100% worth watching. Saki will be missed, but at least she was handled perfectly from beginning to end. I hope she enjoys retirement, wherever it takes her."

[10.0] "A show every bit as adoring and emotive as any I've ever seen. This is a wonderful sendoff to one of the key players in TJPW's history and the crowd knows it. There's 500 passionate fans packed into a max capacity Shinjuku FACE, with th roster even more invested in Saki Akai's departure. There's some good wrestling here and fantastic displays of friendship. I teared up at several points throughout this."

[9.0] "Farewell shows are always going to be a bittersweet experience and this was no different. The matches were fun, the moments heartfelt, and Saki Akai leaves behind a huge legacy. Watching the roster, especially Misao, break down into tears and try to stop her from retiring was great. It's filled with comedy, fun wrestling, and some really sad goodbyes. Definitely worth the watch."

[10.0] "An emotional show that did well to showcase the roster and what makes TJPW special. The rookie tournament matches were both good, the six man after was funny, I really loved the Daisy Monkey tag match. The real meat of this show was the farewell match, one filled with memorable spots and callbacks such as the anti-retirement signs and Misao using the Vanitas on Saki. I was crying by the end much like half the roster, really beautiful sendoff for Saki Akai."

[8.0] "A fairly solid show overall, some nice showing from the rookiees in the beginning and a good tag match on Yuka Sakazaki retirement road. The highlight was of course Saki Akai's farewell to TJPW, with an emotional tag match and a nice impromptu gauntlet."

"I don't want to give this a rating because the show was really just about sending off Saki Akai. I think they should have had English commentary for this due to the number of speeches from roster members and Akai herself. It was fun and emotional. Akai's retirement is a big loss for TJPW and DDT. I hope she enjoys her new life."

[9.0] "The opening tournament matches were fine, as were the middle card tag matches, but this show was all about Saki Akai's farewell from TJPW. Nobody does farewell matches better than Cyber Fight, and this was another great one. The only reason I give it a 9 rather than 10, is that not much can equal Muto's retirement, but having an impromptu match where Saki faces the entire roster was a great way to end her TJPW career. I encourage following along with some translations of the spoken parts for non-japanese speakers."
