Powell’s POV: Robinson and Tanahashi will meet in the tournament semifinals. The remaining quarterfinal matches on Thursday’s show feature Kota Ibushi vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and Sanada vs. Turo Yanao. Today’s event was only available with Japanese commentary on New Japan World. My next full review will be for tomorrow’s event once the English commentary returns.
