[6.0] "This card is a roughly equal in quality to Day 10 but is ultimately slightly weaker. There is plenty here that is essentially fluff such as Sakura/Amasaki and Waka/Lady C. Some matches are frustratingly short such as Hina/HANAKO and Hanan/Yuna too. Also, there is perhaps a real tendency on this card to re-use certain spots ad infinitum (I lost count of how many times there was a trading forearm spot). Truth be told, it's Kurara and AZM who are the first performers on the card to have a noticeably high quality bout. This match also shows that, once again, Kurara might be overrated by some people but, when she's paired with the right person, she most definitely can have highly satisfactory matches (and, less than 2 years into her career, that is really impressive). It's also worth mentioning that Starlight and Natsupoi continue the card's lift in quality by not only working an enjoyable match but having an exemplary post-match too whereby Poi shows her happiness at progressing to the next stage and Kido shows her frustration at missing out. Then Ami and Bozilla complete a hat-trick of high quality by having an intense, hard-hitting and engaging encounter that is significantly bolstered by Sourei's passionate performance. Her finishing move always looks killer and her winning was cool booking too. The quality of the main event sadly reverts back to the more lacklustre matches on this card; it's not bad but it's also nothing to write home about."

[8.0] "Really good show, quite a few standout matches and some upsets to boot. Set it up really well for the semis which predictably knocked it out the park. intrigued by what happens to SLK after her loss."

[7.0] "Pretty solid overall with decent match quality throughout, but nothing that really stood head and shoulders above anything else. The main event was fairly underwhelming."

[8.0] "Four good matches (Suzuki/Yagami, Kurara/AZM, Poi/SLK, Sohrei/Bozilla) makes this a pretty decent show. The undercard had some nice surprise wins."

[5.0] "Maybe the worst/most boring night of this years 5Star. No real high end matches, just consistently average to good. Aside from the main event which was bad. SLK vs Poi MOTN."
