One battle to break through the legend? 

Noah's Kaito Kiyomiya (25) who is the first on the road to retirement of Keiji Mutoh (59), also known as "Pro Wrestling Master", emphasized his fighting spirit with a flash elbow video. 

Kiyomiya will fight with Mutoh in the first match of the "Keiji Mutoh Final Countdown" (July 16th, Nippon Budokan, Tokyo). It appears that he has had a conflict before the final match with the grand veteran, whom he had lost in two defeats and one draw, and with those bitter feelings in a singles so far, today, with a devilish expression, he uploaded a video to Twitter of himself.

"There is a frustration, and Mutoh is always in my head...Experiencing Mutoh, I want to do everything I can. Should there be a ghost, then I want to drink in that whole ghost." 

Kiyomiya then shouted, "One and the same!" and released a flash elbow, one of Mutoh's specialties. The moment is like a young Mutoh. Does this mean that they have become one and the same? From that sense of dynamism, it seems that he has broken through his doubts. The GHC Heavyweight Champion, Satoshi Kojima, sent encouragement saying "Kaito, do your best". 

It will be interesting to see if the The Supernova, who bears the future of The Ark, will surpass the genius in the final confrontation.
