(NOAH) Because this is a title match with a independent theme*, it will attract attention with pure technique!

Note about title: The Japanese word used "孤高" (Kokō) is not an easy one to translate as it can mean "lonely" as in stand apart, aloof, independent etc.

This match saw DragonBane, the winner of the N Innovation Tournament, challenge Daga for the GHC Junior Championship. However, in a tournament aimed at revolutionizing the Noah Juniors, there was a lot of talk about the rise of the next generation, and it seemed there wasn't much focus on challenging Daga. Therefore, even though there were many noteworthy matches at the Nagoya show, the theme was a bit sparse. A speedy offensive and defensive battle unfolded from the beginning, but then Daga lured him to the ground and the two engaged in a thorough fight. The offensive and defensive match, in which both wrestlers read each other's moves until the very end, is certainly worth watching, and Daga's potential in defeating Bain, who has a track record of winning tournaments, was met with shouts of admiration.

After Daga successfully defended his title for the first time, Eita appeared as the next challenger. A title match under the same circumstances took place in Ariake on the 2nd January of this year, with the champion, Daga, winning and defending his title. This will also be a chance for Eita to get revenge.

Even in the packed Nagoya tournament, Daga and Bain showed their presence through pure combat, with the unadulterated, simple and thrilling nature of their matches always drawing people in.    

Notes
Independent theme: DragonBane won a tournament to decide the number one contendership, he did not challenge Daga directly after a title match, and the two of them did not feud.
