VICTORY SPEECH

KAZUCHIKA OKADA: "Thank you, everyone! Tonight was a battle, a true test of strength and will. Michael Elgin, you brought everything you had, and I respect that. But in the end, the Rainmaker prevailed. This is the G1 Climax, where every victory matters, and tonight's win has me in third place with six points.

But I don't plan on stopping here. Minoru Suzuki, you're next. We all know what's at stake in this tournament, and facing someone tied for first place is a challenge I gladly accept. The road to victory is never easy, but that's what makes it worth it.

To all the fans who have supported me, get ready for the next chapter. The A Block is fierce, and I'm ready to give it my all. See you at the top!"

PRESS CONFERENCE

REPORTER: "Okada, a hard-fought victory tonight against Michael Elgin. How do you feel going into your next match against Minoru Suzuki, who is currently tied for first place?"

KAZUCHIKA OKADA: "Elgin gave me a tough fight out there, but that's the G1 for you. As for Suzuki, he's a formidable opponent, no doubt about it. Tied for first place means he's on top of his game, and I respect that. But you see, I thrive on challenges. The Rainmaker doesn't back down from anyone.

This tournament is about proving who is the best, and I'm determined to be the one standing tall when it's all said and done. Suzuki, get ready for a fight. I know what's at stake, and I won't let this opportunity slip away. I plan on showing everyone why I am the Rainmaker. Thank you."
