Kota Minoura vs. Kzy

[8.0] "This is excellent. Kzy is such a complete wrestler and Kota looks like such a star here. Kzy takes two back bumps on the ring apron. Minoura keeps going for submissions in the middle of the ring and trying to finish it. I love how Kzy takes 10 hits then fires back with all of his power. The amount of passion and talent on display here was great."

[9.0] "Another great match from Dragon Gate here, one of my favorite guys Kzy going at it with a name I'm less familiar with in Minoura. Kzy once again rewarded my faith in him, I thought he was just killer here, and Minoura definitely piqued my interest as well. Definitely one worth checking out."

[8.0] "As a DG's follower on a rare basis, the story is me is the following : Minoura is a great prospect who needs this win to take a step in his career whereas Kzy, who had been barely eliminated from the competition, he's here to prove that the vets still got it. It was a really great matchup, Minoura brought some much fire here. Kzy played like he wanted to prove who's the boss. That match made me as Minoura fan, that kid is great. Final sequence was great with a lot of intensity and nearfalls."

[8.0] "The Match of The Night. I'm glad Kzy won, because the was doing great throughout the whole tournament."

[8.0] "4. 25 Stars - Great match and made me a fan of Kota. Hes looking a lot more like YAMATO but he wrestles with more aggression than YAMATO. Solid work from KZY as always and im glad to see how well he carries a main event and can put trust in him. the speed these guys work at is nuts"

[7.0] "Not a great match, but still a really good one. Both men told a cool story of targeting each other's neck and upper back through a variety of strikes, power moves, and submissions. Both men also showed convincing passion and were incredibly smooth with everything they hit. The match was at its most impressive whenever they were rushing around, quickly evading and countering each other's attacks back and forth to the point of exhausted collapse. A few fantastic near falls started coming out towards the end of the match before Kzy got the win, cementing his ticket to Kobe World. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Good storytelling, but I was expecting much more from this great wrestlers. A lack of intensity from begining to the end."

[8.0] "This was a very good final here, truly better than last year's King of Gate final. Kzy was a good underdog but I was even more invested with Minoura. Even if for me, the win of Kzy was not a good decision because it discredits the fact that 3 other people won their block, this was a very good match with a great finish. ***3/4"

[8.0] "The best match of the tournament. It is perfect. Great story told in ring. Kzy had to win the tournament. Very good. **** 1/4"
