Chie Koishikawa & Miya Yotsuba vs. Mei Suruga & Sayaka Obihiro

[9.0] "It's a very entertaining tag team match, one of the best of the year. There are two or three small mistakes in some moves, but nothing that ruins the psychology and the success of the match. [9.25/10]"

[8.0] "This wasn't a bad Joshi tag team match by any mean but at the same time there was nothing especial about it, there was a lot of fluid back and forth but it didn't always end up to end up hitting hard as it should have. It's still a fluid watch but not an essential one. ***3/4"

[9.0] "Highly enjoyable match, there was a lot to like here with both some slightly humorous elements and just some damn good fighting going on. Mei Suruga is just really damn good, that's for sure."

[6.0] "[***] I found the silly early double team moves off putting and it took me out of the match. However, other than a botch by Sayaka Obihiro the rest of the match was solid and we got some nice fast-paced technical wrestling along the way so all was not lost."

[6.0] "If you like the genre of joshi which is girls playing at wrestling you will love this match if you like the genre of joshi which is about match quality you wouldn't. The commentary was very annoying overrating to every minor move. Mei is the best wrestler in the match so when she isn't it it suffers."

[7.0] "Hi-octane small room fun that blazed a rapid-fire trail from goofy to serious via some wickedly creative offence and killer flash pins. A few hesitations and way too much screaming keep this below its current rating for me ***1/2"

[9.0] "Super fun in-ring match and my MOTN. A lot of action and everyone making it feel very high stakes. Chie and Mei has been done plenty of times before but this title match feels like Chie stepping up to be a main eventer, something she wants to prove by broadening her moveset during this tag match."

[8.0] "I really like the new submission finish Chie was using on Mei. The emotional intensity between her and Sayaka was great. Miya has developed so quickly into a pillar of Chocopro and proved it here."

[10.0] "Again, oh my god! This was such a fun tag match! Chie + Sayaka's interactions were as exciting as they were heartbreaking (need them to get back to teaming), Miya and Mei had an awesome mini match full of fire, and the final moments of Chie vs Mei were awesome! I'm so looking forward to the title match... and any ramifications that may come from Miya's look of frustration at the end!"

[9.0] "Great match with rivals Chie and Miya having to team up and pull out a lot of new stuff to get a pin on Mei."
