Thoughts: When they started doing time call outs and we weren't close to the ending, it was clear it was going the time limit.

I liked what we got though it could have been a bit smarter.

Thoughts: There was a lot of high impact stuff here with the two tossing each other around. They each took their fair share of hard bumps in this one. There were some things I liked in this but some of it could have been done better. I'd give this a positive rating and thought it was mostly good.

Hana talks on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like the undercard that match on this one with nothing being that great. Hina/Ranna got a lot of time but was just an average match. Sareee/Suzu was what it looked like it would be - two girls being rude and aggressive towards each other. They did what they were supposed to do there. Saya/Miyu was rushed and sloppy. I liked the main but it could have been better. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 mostly for Sareee/Suzu delivering here as it was average otherwise.
