Entrapped by the limitations of late-Toyota matches, but still pretty good. Shida/Kagetsu make a decent unit with their respective shtick and the vets do a good job conveying that all things considered, giving them enough time to cement themselves as threats despite their relative greeness. Toyota of course NEEDS to get all of her shit in so we have just a big chunk of her doing all of her usual wacky flips, once you get past that and you have Kage/Amano just beating the piss out of each other then this starts to pick up real well especially with that one spot where Kage tries doing Aja's escape out of a German suplex by falling down and throwing a kick only for Amano to hit a headbutt right when they flop down lol.

There's some goofy comedy as Toyota tries to send Amano flying into Kage with a top rope dropkick but that naturally just causes her to flop over and get almost pinned instead, leading to the younger pair getting in a small bit of control work until the lead for the finish. That consisted mostly of Amano doing sick submission counters while Kage sold well and milked the drama of their struggle well all things considered. The finish being a combo of Toyota's heel kick + Amano pulling off some Bolshoi-tier tricked out reverse Fujiwara armbar to get the tap was especially nifty and played well on teamwork being a big factor here as a whole. All in all, surprisingly strong burst of action that played to everyone's strengths and a definite highlight of the Amano/Toyota duo as a unit.
