The card for this show fucking rules. On the spectacle front, Ultimo Dragon showing up in Dragon Gate after all these years away is absolutely huge & on the match quality front, Kzy/Shun, the Twin Gate match & Ben-K/PAC all have potential to be something awesome.

Hoping for Ben-K to dethrone PAC here. His rise to the top has been incredible & there's no better spot for DG to pull the the trigger on a new young ace than the 20th anniversary. :mark:

Feeling like it is Ben-K's time. PAC's run has delivered, they built up the best challenger possible post-Kzy, I say lets see them do it.

Ultimo being back is noted at how huge that is.

Speaking of Kzy, glad he got himself a singles match on here. Their taking to Shun is REALLY showing here.

Event was amazing. Everything fit, every match had it's purpose and did what it needed to.

Checked out the English stream after having watched the show in Japanese, Larry Dallas and Rich Bocchini did a good job in my opinion. There were some silent moments and times where they just couldn't keep up with the action, but I never expected them to be able to since this was their first time calling a Dragon Gate show. I guess they had notes on the promos or someone translating for them since they were able to give a summary of what was being said, that was nice.

Celebrated the past, present and showcased the future of the promotion, with English commentary I think this is the Dragon Gate show that has had most international viewers watching it. Show of the year candidate for me.
