Thoughts: This was all about pushing Shu vs Kenta and Kenoh vs Kaito. It was good enough and one of the better things Kenta has been involved in lately but it wasn't great.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It went too long at over 25 minutes and just dragged. I would have rather had half the match with a faster pace to it. It had lots of Oz shenanigans as usual and some Team 2000X interference.

Overall thoughts: It went a bit long at 3 hours. The junior's had a decent night and the semi main was fine. Endo/Soya wasn't that great sadly. The main went too long and just dragged. I did like the card and the general direction and idea of it but it wasn't quite as good as it could have been. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10 and there was nothing you really need to see on here.
