Man, this is loving great, brutal stuff. Masha's performance kind of reminds me of when Suzu Suzuki was doing her deathmatch trial series & faced Takeda & just got murdered by one of the sickest fuckers on the planet but kept getting back up & showed so much heart. Well, I thought Takeda was more giving here than with Suzu. Great deathmatch.

Nth. The 5 star GP is full of these matches where the only thing stopping them from being MOTYCs is the time limit. Utami vs. Maika especially had that feel of a long epic as it was starting, and frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing them go for 25-30 minutes sometime

Based on the post-match I think that once one of them gets a title there will be a longer rematch.

I agree about the match length being a limiting factor, but on the other hand it makes it even more impressive when people crank out MOTYC bangers in under 15 minutes.

Of the two I liked Kenoh/Lee a little more but both are borderline MOTY candidates, I suspect that's where I would've rated them had I been more invested in this year's N-1. Still, both are well worth going out of your way to watch even if you're like me and haven't seen much of the tournament.
