[10.0] "I attended in person as the first Stardom of any kind I'd ever seen. I knew of Mayu but virtually nobody else. Adored every second of it. Completely blew my mind. Being in that red hot crowd in that tiny venue with incredible matches and excellent stories on the night, made me a fan for life. Saya immediately felt like such a star in that crowd, I never would have thought her heel turn was getting a mixed reception before this. HIGHLY recommend people go see Stardom live or go see any Joshi show in Shinjuku FACE (amazing venue). Best wrestling show I've ever been to."

[9.0] "This was my platonic ideal wrestling show. Elite-level graps, a hot crowd, and a crazy-looking venue made for great vibes all show long."

[7.0] "The first Stardom card I have watched in about 8 years. There was only one notebook match and nothing that will live long in the memory but there was enough here that I will probably keep watching for a bit."

[9.0] "Probably the best night of this years 5 Star GP., some great matches. That 3 way fight was cool, and the Quarter Finals rocked too. Sets up a couple of interesting Semi Finals."

[9.0] "Absolutely fantastic card filled with excellent matches and a nuclear hot crowd this goes some way to repaying us for the slightly lacklustre 5STAR cards there have occasionally been this year. The booking was mostly excellent with smart decisions such as having Maika/AZM go on last and having a tag match involving Tam and Natsuko (if only to give Tam more opportunities to do sterling babyface work). I'd argue that the one error of the show was the booking of Hanan; not only did she go through to the semi-finals, she beat Suzu and Syuri on the same night to do it (she isn't anywhere near the level to achieve that and, regardless, it should have been either Suzu or Syuri in the semis)."

[10.0] "Fuck yeah man, what a show! Every single tournament match delivered in spades! Plus, this was the hottest a Stardom crowd has been in forever, and it made every single match even better! As someone who has only been passively following along with this 5*, this show was so damn good that I might just go back and watch every single 5* show before this. It was THAT DAMN GOOD! Plus, I'm really happy with the final 4. A Maika / Saya final seems inevitable, and I'm really excited for that! Please keep running events in Shinjuku Face, Okada. We need crowds like this at every Stardom show!"

[9.0] "I can't beleive they did such a big show in Shinjuku FACE. Obviously many more people would visit it if they had the opportunity. The people were crazy loud. The results were perfect and it makes sense for each of the four remaining contestants to win."

[10.0] "A fantastic show packed with banger matches elevated by one of the best crowd Stardom has had in a long time. Every 5 Star match is at leat quite good and the tag match is also recommendable."

[8.0] "A mostly great show where almost all the main matches delivered, although there were some warts to keep it from being a show of the year contender. The Shinjuku crowd was white hot for this one, as Stardom returned there for the first time since 2021. Five of the seven tournament matches were phenomenal, worthy of an 8 or more in my opinion. The two that didn't were, at least for me, Hanan's matches. The match with Suzu was very good until the head butts, at which point it turned into a forced classic that lost me. The Syuri match was one-sided until the ending, and also rubbed me the wrong way. There was also the tag match, which was fine, but went too long and didn't need to take up 20+ minutes from prematch to end of the postmatch. But again, the good stuff was fantastic. The opener was innovative and basically a High Speed gauntlet amongst three great participants. Mayu and Poi had an insane match with some unbelievable moments, same with Saya and SLK. The main event was also fantastic. Three of the four semifinalists are worthy, the other is a forced attempt at an underdog which is fine I guess, and the finals show has the makings of a really good one. I wish I could give this a 9 or 10, but an 8 feels about right."

[9.0] "I loved this show and thought every match hit. This was a great continuation of what has been a really fantastic and enjoyable Five Star so far. Not knowing who was going to progress in the matches made things fun and having a mix of upsets (or at least what I would call upsets) really helped things. Well done Stardom and I'm excited to see how this all ends."
