21-9 and 21-3 in a world championship final is insane

[@simon2046]

Yeah that's a masterclass showcasing both immaculate offense and defense. I remembered Anders Antonsen walked into the final and made a grand entrance drapped in the Danish flag like entering the boxing ring.

[@questioner1631]

Pv sindhu did similar in 2019 to nazomi 21-7, 21-7

[@ZLGCSGO]

the greatest "if" in modern sport history. Thank you and goodbye Momota.

[@yukigumarnament5916]

half the decade is already over and I'm still living vividly in 2019 watching prime Momota moments

[@Anmelve]

Math?

[@iwanbagus9831]

​@@Anmelvehalf decade means 5 years, do your math

@@iwanbagus9831 oh yeah mb😂

[@AsphaltBoomer]

i miss this guy what a legend looking forward to him returning to king cup and lin dan cup, all the best kento

[@gordontang7837]

Did he play in Kings cup already?

[@lanukasa]

@@gordontang7837 no, but he promised to play next year

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

King cup , Lin Dan cup what are those??

[@AsphaltBoomer]

@ari-athbadminton0301 Lin Dan hosted his own tournament where he invited some of the best young/retired players whilst sponsoring the entire event by himself, King Cup was more of a one-off event

[@---nl4bp]

I'm glad the last video in 2024 was Momota. I'm sad to see him retire, thanks for all the inspiration over the years. Hope 2025 will be a better year for him.

[@Benichou49]

not gonna lie, those few finals rallies and slowmos in the end brought up a few tears :) Such a dominant, technical, physical and humble player... Momota forever!

[@mcnugget6267]

No matter how many achievements Axelsen wins, Momota will always be the best player of his generation in my eyes. Their head to head pre-injury tells you everything, 14-1, utter domination.

[@nopetynopety]

It's soo crazy how people dont remember this stat. Post ban momota was a beast.

[@mcnugget6267]

@@nopetynopety Exactly, and he wasnt playing against scrubs either. A h2h tie with CL and LCW, +3 against LD, he pretty much stood toe to toe against these legends. The same cant be said abt axelsen, with a +3 against LD but -8 against both CL and LCW.

[@simontoxvaerd8161]

Yeah, no matter how many momota whiners we see Axelsen will carry his 2 OL gold and acumulating acolytes. Most of all Victors acolytes comes after his big surgery, momota boys tence to forget. Never the less keep the Whine going sir. GG

[@ex2044]

@@mcnugget6267 Well to be fair LCW and LD are wayy to close to retirement to be valuable data, specially LD after 2016.

[@tuankietohuu5179]

@@simontoxvaerd8161 well tbf, had it been a surgery like axelsen, momota would’ve recovered to his former glory no doubt. But I believe his eye socket surgery left a permanent scar to his vision, making his shots never quite the same. Despite being a momota fan, I have to agree that the glazers are going quite far

[@Shreyansh229Ranwa]

What a LEGEND he was NOT just ON but also OFF the court HATS OFF to kento

[@salawujonathan6722]

First game 21 - 9 21 - 3 Was crazy 🎉

[@aszxcv54123]

Momota’s little fanboy：21-15 21-2☺

[@snowfish3764]

in his prime he was so precise n flawless, like a machine

[@rajviajar]

He made it look so easy, but the reality is so much hard work to get there. Legend Mamota!

[@benj4840]

My idk and favorite player, just insane 2018-2019 played so effortlessly, barely smashed to win what a man. And his touch at the 2023 Korea masters and other tourneys he has lost the speed but he still had god tier control

[@sid6645]

I truly do miss this man. Cheers.

[@fakeBucks]

Hope kento is enjoying his coach life now 😊 and looking forward to see him in kings cup next year 😍

[@bobmarley6306]

One of the best players we've ever had the pleasure of watching, and certainly one of t he unluckiest.

[@SirChocula]

I love the part of him in 2024, looks like he's really enjoying himself. I do wish that he didn't have so much of a bad luck/life streak though, he would have been one of the greatest, possibly rivaling LD or better.

[@hungmcsr8562]

Kento Momota in King Cup 2025 will be so insane

[@자파TV]

To be realistic, his performance would be worse than 2024 because he is training less as a retired player.

[@snowfish3764]

i'd love to see him play but i don't think he can compete with the top players now, maybe he'll play in exhibition match like taufik

[@hungmcsr8562]

​@@자파TV watching him plays already makes me happy

[@boonthidajumpathong5459]

The unbeatable Momota. What a smash, defensive and excellent footwork.

[@jasonyuchenliu]

Truly my favorite player of all time. Wish him all the best in his retirement and really hope to see him again! (King cup 2025??)

[@deanbeaudin3559]

Great to see at the end that he was really having fun towards the end of his international career.

[@aowang4506]

it is so warm that we can recollect this legend at the end of 2024 from offical

[@JJdakilla]

He had such a beautiful game

[@ScobedRobed]

Always had a calm feeling watching him play, like he was never going to make a mistake, even when he did. Guy was as smooth as butter

[@sarcasticsennie]

For me, still, the best player ever! His style is a beauty to watch

[@zhanyiduo]

so many classic games! He was a real legend.

[@ectp1594]

Sharp smashes, phenomenal defences. That’s Kento Momota

[@KidKego4]

One of my favorite players, but FORSURE my favorite gambler. Absolute legend

[@陳彥謀]

SO many love to momota, he is awesome

The legend

[@reaktimberlake7972]

I wanted to keep seeing a world where Momota wasn't killed.

[@boonthidajumpathong5459]

Thanks for the video. I miss him. He is the great player after Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei.

[@sqinnn]

Not forgetting he beat Lee Chong Wei’s record by winning 11 titles in a year. Momota is AMAZING!

[@Zwee1511]

We always love you Kento

[@barrychung11]

What a player, he will be missed. Hope he have a healthy and wonderful life. 💪

[@princeteo3272]

We miss you.

[@sqinnn]

Really miss him sooo much

[@dtdyvr]

really miss this guy. how far would he have gone, if only...

[@Blitzhax]

I feel like Ginting doesn't get enough recognition for keeping up with prime momota, he himself said ginting was his biggest rival

[@myshiftisbroken]

A very one sided rivalry sadly. Iirc ginting only won once or twice compared to around 8 losses. But honestly ginting would have at least 4 titles in 2019 if kento wasnt playing

[@Blitzhax]

@myshiftisbroken yeah you're right, head to head during his prime is 10-3

[@peterchui1964]

Ginting vs Momota was the still the best MS rivalry in recent times imo. Nothing else really comes close.

[@Blitzhax]

@@peterchui1964 if 2021 all england LZJ would've been consistent, it might have turned into a lzj axelsen rivelry

[@joelchong5562]

The next MS monster after lin dan...

[@anchayusya7591]

Momota pemain yang luar biasa Sudah ada di ranking 2 akibat skandal judi di hukum federasi Japan tak boleh bertanding, selesai menjalani masa hukuman memulai dari 0 lagi hingga berada di puncak tertinggi ranking 1 Karena kecelakaan di Malaysia merenggut semuanya dari Momota Dan sekarang Axelsen sulit sekali di kalahkan karena pada saat itu hanya Momota lawan sebanding Axelsen

[@ectp1594]

The best Japanese player ever existed in Japan history

The best.
