I loved this but it was a bit too wonky for a motyc and some poor camera work/tv direction at the end killed the finish (which in itself is a really good idea for a finish) for me. Still had a great time!

He looked a little slow and off on kicks but the major thing that looked "bad" was his punches were just weird but that was a stylistic choice.

Just very solid deathmatch nonsense from 4 of the most consistent guys Big Japan use regularly. Match is clipped though because it's Samurai TV. Honestly, their insistence on clipping shows to 2 hours when their schedule is just loads of repeats is infuriating. It's not 1998 anymore, broadcast the full show. If you need to get your schedule lineup to the top of the hour then just fill the time with old matches from the archives or something.

BJW's Junior division has often ended up an after-thought but I really think Sekifuda & now Tomato have helped steady it, this was good stuff. Really helped elevated Kara.

Main event...Making Yuya Aoki's first title defence be against Ryota Hama seems setting him up to fail, which is very Big Japan. Their booking makes NOAH's look positively forward thinking & pro-youth sometimes. Hama has done some good stuff in the past but the guy is 5'9, over 400lbs & in his 40s now. There's a reason this is his first BJW singles match since 2021 & his first singles match to go over 10 minutes since 2019
