| 3 | 31.05.2025 | Rated-Spear | 6.0 | Dead Or Alive zum letzten Mal, ein Zeugnis vergangener Gegebenheiten. In der Pre-Show hielt man sich immerhin kurz - und so auch über den restlichen Abend eigentlich. Pre-Show und Opening Match muss man insgesamt nicht gesehen haben, 1/2* bzw. ** im Fall vom Opener. Mochizuki Dojo vs. Z-Brats und Dragon, Fujii, Mante & No Hug vs. GOLD CLASS überzeugten zwischendurch erzählerisch, *1/2 bzw. **3/4 bei ansteigender Tendenz im Fall vom letztgenannten Multi Man Tag. Triangle Gate Titelkampf und Brave Gate Titelturnierfinale schlossen gekonnt daran an, ***1/4 bzw. **3/4 bei erneut ansteigender Tendenz im Fall von Homare vs. U-T. Persönlich kein Fan beider Titelwechsel, helfen zum einen aber Natural Vibes in aktuell eher irrelevanter Position und zum anderen U-T's Selbstvertrauen per Feel Good-Moment in seiner Heimat. YAMATO vs. Lee dagegen ein Reinfall leider, **1/2 um den Dreh. Für meinen Geschmack zu langatmig, Matchstory verlief nirgends wirklich hin und Jason Lee allgemein als Kontrahent bzw. Anwärter auf den Dream Gate Championship zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt nicht verkäuflich, YAMATO sah sich da keiner Gefahr ausgesetzt. Im Main Event sind hingegen genügend Spannungen gegeben gewesen, ***1/4. Zum gleichen Zeitpunkt ein Attest Dragon Gate's Unart Großveranstaltungen mit bitterem Beigeschmack abzuschließen; Madoka Kikuta's Turn hin zu Z-Brats nach zahlreichen Helping Hands zugunsten seiner nun ehemaligen Partner ziemlich undurchdacht, ungeachtet dass dadurch kaum Veränderung innerhalb der Strukturen entstanden ist. So ist's ein insgesamt mäßiger und zugleich irgendwie zufriedenstellender Schlusspunkt Dragon Gate's Aufenthalt im Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium. |

| 10 | 16.05.2025 | BeanTrigger | 8.0 | A very solid show. From the opener, that had Ryoya Tanaka beating Hyo, to the multi-man tags before the title matches. The Open The Triangle Gate match, which had Natural Vibes winning the titles, had an emotional Strong Machine J after the match, and on the topic of emotions, U-T was able to complete his dream and win the Open the Brave Gate Title, in my personal match of the night, against Homare, who is shaping up to have on hell of a rookie year. Following that, the Open the Dream Gate title was defended and retained as Yamato was able to get the victory over Jason Lee in this defense. Had Jason Lee won this match, he would've been the first wrestler from Hong Kong to win a major Japanese title. For the main event, I thought Ishin was going to be the one to lose, so when he was the first one out I was shocked. Madoka Kikuta betraying D'courage was also shocking to me. I had thought it would be the time we would see Shun Skywalker get his comeuppance, but that was not the case. The final shots of Kikuta forcing Dragon Dia to use his injured arm to shave Yuki Yoshioka's head, Shun laughing at what is left of D'Courage, and the shot of all the members of Z-Brats is something I will keep thinking about as the year progresses. Solid show if this is the last Dead or Alive that will be happening for a while. |
| 11 | 09.05.2025 | Galdr | 7.0 | I thought this show was pretty decent but no individual match was remarkably good. The last four matches were all solid and the cage match provided some spectacle. |
| 12 | 07.05.2025 | xTheRevoltingBlobx | 7.0 | Overall Dead or Alive 2025 definitely had a big show feel with a large crowd on hand for the final show in the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium. The singles action was very good as usual, Dragongate builds so well to singles action by keeping it tags and sambos in their weekly shows and I was highly anticipating this show for that reason. The Triangle Gate match was a great end but not a particularly noteworthy match for me. The cage final was a sloppy cage fest, but was entertaining enough. It was always going to be Shun, Kikuta and Yoki at the end of the match, but the finish was still enough of suprise to enjoy. |
| 13 | 06.05.2025 | MrRollUp | 8.0 | It was a good Dragon Gate show. Very happy to see over 4, 000 people come to watch. I hope it continues like this. |
