Yuki Yoshioka

[8.0] "Yoshioka's incredible run with the Open the Dream Gate title solidiefied him as a new top guy in Dragon Gate, and he's done nothing but have excellent matches in every spotlight he gets for a consistent while now. He's incredibly polished, uses his moveset perfectly, and has really taken hold of match varities of all types within Dragon Gate, be it an undercard multi man tag or a big main event. The ceiling on Yoshioka only feels even higher if he can stay healthy."

[9.0] "I have only recently started watching Yoshioka's work (not counting his run as Dia Inferno), but he has already left a big impression on me. His team with Dia is the best in Dragon Gate right now and one of the best in the whole world. He definitely has potential to be a top singles guy in the future but for now I assume he'll stick with Dia in the Twin Gate scene. One of many to watch in Dragon Gate. Edit: Wow, did not expect him to be Dream Gate Champ so soon, very happy to see him at the top of the card, he deserves it. Edit 2: After his Dream Gate run I can say he was one of the best Champions in all of 2022. With the exception of the Minoura match every single defence was amazing, especially the Yamato, Mocchy and Skywalker matches. And at only 28 his next run will likely be even better."

[10.0] "An excellent wrestler, ever since unmasking Yuki has shown time and time again he's ready for the spot as the top Babyface of the promotion, has a very good and wide variety of skill set and can wrestle multiple styles if need be, Yuki's future looks bright and I'm definitely going to be there for the ride."

[8.0] "Yuki seems to be Dragongate's selection to lead their future. I don't think anybody was expecting him to become Dream Gate champion just half a year after ditching the Dia Inferno mask for good, but he's not unfit for the role. Sadly I've kind of found his title run slightly disappointing so far, with my main problem with it being that it seems that time after time the matches seem to be more about their opponents than Yuki. He's really repetitive, and most of the excitement his matches have brung came from his opponents."

[7.0] "A really good wrestler who will hopefully help lead DG into its next era. Him getting pushed so quickly as champion upon dropping his 'Dia Inferno' gimmick sadly seems to have left him with expectations far above what he can currently provide, at least for me as a DG fan. I can appreciate that he has impressive physicality and athleticism just like most DG-trained guys, but I've found his Dream Gate reign quite underwhelming. He's still having good matches, but they basically all follow the same structure of meaningless opening grappling, some seemingly significant limb-targeting that is eventually abandoned by both him and his opponent, and then the match would devolve into a pure, mindless bombfest filled with finisher spam, big-move spam, and near-fall spam, which always feels really overkill, wasteful, and ultimately disappointing. There's also not that much to his character. He portrays himself as quite serious and capable of showing base-level emotions, but there's never anything else apart from that. No especially intense aggression, no sense of arrogance or pride, no sense of trying to be a true show-stealer and crowd-pleaser, just nothing. I still have hopes for Yoshioka, though that might just be my wishful thinking, based on me not wanting to see such a talented in-ring wrestler sabotaged by a lack of character and poor match structures."

[8.0] "Probably my favourite performer in Dragon Gage right now. He can move with the best of them, and since removing his mask, he's been a highlight."

[8.0] "To me, everything that Yoshioka did after his unmasking up until this point worked - he's in the Main Event of Kobe World this year, and I think he's gonna be the Open The Dream Gate champion after conclusion of the second show."

[8.0] "he gonna be a next Yamato in Dragon Gate for sure, he have everything in his hand now just need a time to proove it"

[8.0] "Yuki changed a lot after his internship in Mexico and became an excellent athlete. Although the image of Dia Inferno did not suit him very well, after removing this mask he is amazingly good."
