VICTORY SPEECH

HIROOKI GOTO: "Thank you all! Tonight, I faced one of the best in the world, Kenny Omega. And I proved once again that in the G1 Climax, the toughest fighters rise to the occasion. This victory is not just for me; it's for each and every one of you who believed in me. Now, tied for first place, I look forward to the challenges ahead. Tomohiro Ishii, you're next, and I hope you're ready for a battle because in the G1, every match is a war!"

PRESS CONFERENCE

REPORTER: "Hirooki Goto, congratulations on your victory over Kenny Omega. How do you feel about your performance tonight?"

HIROOKI GOTO: "Thank you. Tonight was a tough battle, as expected when facing someone like Kenny Omega. He's a phenomenal competitor, and I knew I had to bring my A-game. Tying for first place is a testament to the hard work and dedication I've put into this tournament. But there's no time to rest. Tomohiro Ishii is my next challenge, and I know he's hungry for a win. I respect Ishii, but in the G1, respect goes out the window once that bell rings. I'll give it my all, just like I always do, and I'll continue to climb to the top of the leaderboard. Thank you."
