[8.0] "A very good tag match. Loved Ishikawa and Murakami beating up eachother in the opening minute with them pummeling eachother in the crowd like in their Battlarts 2000 match. Murakami like in 2000 got the better of Ishikawa in strikes. Ishikawa retaliated by wrenching his arm. Inoue got the tag and he took down Murakami by applying the arm bar. Fujiwara gets the tag and he took Inoue to the ground and I loved the struggle between the two. Then Ishikawa got the tag and he went hold for hold and then stiff striking battle with his teacher Fujiwara. It was alot of fun. Murakami in the final minutes landed some sick kicks on Ishikawa to finish him off. Wish it went few minutes longer. 7.50/10"
[8.0] "Yeah, this ruled. Lots of violence early on with a stiff brawl between Mura and Ishikawa, with Mura getting the advantage with strikes while Ishikawa opted to try to take his arm off in response. Inoue follows up with some MMA offence, namely a cross armbreaker and guillotine. Fujiwara and Inoue scramble on the mat in what feels like legit conditions as Inoue refuses to go along with any of Fuji's leg submissions and is always moving. Fuji does eventually get the man to slow down when he is able to slip his right hook and bend the arm into a namesake armbar attempt, but is reversed into a guillotine. Ishikawa and Fuji also get some really cool, simple mat work, including a brutal side-choke attempt by the former, which has Fuji just gagging and spit coming out of his mouth, looked nasty as anything. They do bring in some more controlled pacing here as the two exchange holds and transitions, but eventually relent to strikes instead. Inoue comes in for a few knees and leaves. The one noticeable botch comes from Ishikawa: he goes for a weird leg cradle submission but it looks pretty shit and the ref doesn't count despite Fuji's shoulders being right on the mat. Thankfully the two go back to beating lumps out of each other with slaps and elbows. Mura comes in for MORE stiff shots, only these were even better looking. The finish is abrupt as we get brawling into Mura kicking Ishikawa's head off with a running roundhouse and a vicious standing shot to the head for the pin. Some messy moments here and there (especially when featuring Fuji or Inoue, who admittedly took the lion's share of awkwardness here) and I did think they lost the crowd in the middle half but got it back as soon as Mura got back in. Really good strikes, just a short explosion of violence all round. Ishikawa is also equally great, combining good mat skills alongside occasional big shots when backed against the wall. Top notch action."
[9.0] "A chaotic, wild's man brawl with four absolute beasts. Murakami is one of my favorites because he of course an incredible wrestler in terms of skill but he also wrestles like a man deserving of execution and he gives so many matches that same nature of human filth."
