[5.0] "If you watched this at 1.5x speed then it would be a whole lot better. It felt like American Football in that something happened and then everything stops on repeat."
[6.0] "Both ladies had memorable entrances - Some amusing character interplay early that had more humor in twenty seconds than the previous sap. Yuki is obviously outclassed but the match layout is keen and makes this battle more believably competitive than I would have thought. The kindhearted mutual respect was also appreciated. 2 3/4 - 3"
[7.0] "Really good match here, filled with an excellent storytelling considering we have a match between two best friends. ASUKA did an excellent work like always, she has a lot of charisma and her strikes were very impactful. Some great counters all along like ASUKA's Powerbomb on Kamifuku, and the finish was great too even if I thought this was a bit too short. ***3/4"
[7.0] "Nearly overshadowed by the entrances which were obviously great, but the match itself, despite being too short for my liking, still was really good. I thought Kamifuku did great to keep up with ASUKA here."
[6.0] "ASUKA is literally one of the best wrestlers in the world and I'm including men and women in that. So her Sumo Hall match being against Kamiyu, despite making sense from a story sense because they do team together and are friends outside of the ring was well...Slighly disappointing because Kamiyu is simply an alright wrestler that cannot keep up with ASUKA. This ended up pretty decent though, the powerbomb counter and ASUKA's moonsault for the pin being the highlights. ***"
[5.0] "Once again the skill difference was very visible here. The cringy entrance by Kamifuku I can let go, but her wrestling is just about okay which is dragging down an amazing worker like ASUKA. This wasn't bad but Kamifuku needs to get better."
[6.0] "ASUKA? s as elaborate with the entrances as ever. Of course, Kamiyu attempted to top it by riding a motorcycle backstage. This is the start of the big entrances of the night. I think the best way to describe this match was playful. Both are close so it was wrestled in such a way. There was talking early on - Kamiyu complimented ASUKA? s looks to distract ASUKA, for example - and seemed competitive in ways that only friends can be. ASUKA stiffed Kamiyu with slaps and dropkicks. Kamiyu stepped up more than she usually does, with ASUKA guiding her through it. The result is the clear and obvious choice as it usually is. TJPW? s booking isn? t great or inventive but it? s clear cut most of the time. ***"
[8.0] "Another match I would have liked to have seen go longer on this show, but still really good for its length. ASUKA's powerbomb counter was stellar."
[8.0] "They say friends hit each other the hardest in wrestling and that certainly seems true here. Just an awesome time of kicking one another in the face. Kamiyu showed a different side of herself other than the party girl. And Asuka is so strong and scary in the ring."
[7.0] "Pleasant match. I admit to being a fan of short matches (even under ten minutes), as long as they manage to tell their story in a precise and clean way. This match, maybe, didn't offer 100% ASUKA, but I don't think it was the main goal either. ASUKA guided Yuki in such a way as to propose an even match, in which her rival did not disfigure too much and could show her improvements."
[7.0] "a match between 2 good friends again the entrances where special and showed just how cool these 2 are this match itself was simple but effective with some really fun strike exchanges and an awesome power bomb out of mid air I hope to see more ASUKA in Tjpw"
[6.0] "Beide Entrances vor dem Match waren cool gemacht, vorallem die von Yuki Kamifuku. Das Match war dann solide und das was man erwarten konnte von beiden auf der Cardposition."
[6.0] "Entrances were longer than the match, which had an abrupt ending. Obviously gave each other carte blanche to murder and out-sexy each other. Veny at 50% but still fun."
[6.0] "Kamiyu has grown a lot since her debut and it's nice that she was given a showcase match on the card. It was a well paced match that was surprisingly physical, where both wrestlers were able to show their best points from the entrance to the ring. ***1/4"
[7.0] "This was exactly what I wanted it to be: A fun match with sassy moments, great entrances and a decent but not overtly long length. It was a good undercard match that was never bad, since ASUKA never has bad matches. It was under ten minutes and was enjoyable."
