Daga & OZAWA vs. Kaito Kiyomiya & Kenoh

[7.0] "I can't get over how much charisma OZAWA has, like this isn't a great match but his moments in there are so compelling and it's clear the crowd is already all the way bought in on him. Between his progression and the surprise during the post-match, I'm so interested in where NOAH is going in 2025. 3.5 stars"

[7.0] "Decent main event. Set up the KENOH/OZAWA title match quite well and got across the notion of OZAWA just being a troll and easily getting under KENOH's skin"

[6.0] "This wasn't exactly the best follow-up for the previous day's match. It didn't have the same energy and it didn't build the potential OZAWA-Kenoh match. Kaito lacked the proper fire he should have shown after losing the belt. OZAWA is still fun, though."

[7.0] "I have seen VERY little of OZAWA in his short career, and having him beat one of my NOAH favorites in Kiyomiya for the GHC World title was something I wasn't super sure about...but gosh darn it OZAWA has charisma for days. Dude is so talented and seriously puts on amazing performances. I am very excited to see how he does as the face of the company."

[7.0] "Fun introduction to OZAWA as the GHC Heavyweight Champion, for those who weren't able to see The New Year show. He's got a great skill set, swagger, and that important layer of cowardice."
