When asked whether he ever thought about giving up, SANADA made it clear that the possibility never crossed his mind. He stated that he knew he’d get to where he wanted to go On his title match against Hiromu Takahashi at Wrestling Dontaku: “The business and NJPW’s place in it, it can be up and it can be down. Either way, it’s the champion that’s the representative, the champion that’s responsible. That’s why this title match is so important. To keep presenting gifts to everyone else, the gift I’ll present Hiromu with is the truth, and the knowledge of just how much this title means.”
