I want to see the techniques taught directly by Mutoh.

Over the years, Kiyomiya has broken out of his shell on many occasions, quickly becoming the GHC champion, and is on his way to becoming a wrestler who will build a new era. This is something I personally felt, but with the weight of the words he has uttered so far, I felt uncomfortable with the time difference or the balance. After defeating Mutoh the other day, I felt a big change in Kiyomiya. It's not just about technique or match luck, something very important. 

The above things I wrote about him, he who has ability, achievements and great aspirations, are not meant in a bad way. Kiyomiya is an orthodox ace, and there is no doubt that he is a pioneer who will open up a new era. 

Heroes and aces carry various things.   

What he carries is not only orthodox and pure, sometimes even he receives a dark side which is absorbed, and it is then purified and converted to the orthodox. That way, wouldn't it be possible to show the fear and the weight, while still being authentic? In order to build a new era and guide everyone, no matter what enemy comes, know everything and accept everything, so you can trust by peace of mind. 

He is like the master Picasso, who learned painting from early age from his father who was an art teacher, and showed his talent early on. The basis that serves as a foundation becomes strong, no matter how. As an aside, Picasso's real name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso. He has a Christian baptismal name, the names of saints, relatives names...well, it is helpful because you can understand the world just by Picasso. 

There aee many wrestlers in B Block, who have survived various trials, and while fighting they should send messages. If Kiyomiya can up with an answer that surpasses your opponents imaginations, he should be able to win the crown. If he evolves further into a dexterous and all round wrestler, and establishes a strong identity that is himself, he will be able to gain wings and spread them. And at that time, even if he displays a technique that was passed directly to him, it should be his own technique, and not the presence of a grand senior. That's why I want to see this. 

Because Kiyomiya is ahead in establishment and evolution...if you want to see a new era in N-1, keep an eye on Kiyomiya!
