Did finally get around to watching the 2 matches from Gold Rush I wanted to.
I knew Kamitani vs. Kairi was going to end in a draw going into the show so there was a lack of drama. But as a match itself. I thought it was really good. For 30 minutes I can't say I was ever bored and even wanted to see them keep going by the end which is a testament to them. It left me wanting more and the 2 have good chemistry with each other.
As far as Syuri vs. Hayashishita goes, I'll say that I continue to "not get" Syuri. Like, she's clearly talented. But every time I watch one of her big matches, unless she's facing someone like Giulia, I just feel nothing. The matches she's in are usually good but again, I rarely get excited for them. Maybe because her big matches often have to follow Kamitani's whose work I just enjoy more.
