| 1 | * AntiClimax: His 2nd IWGP run. Despite having awesome matches he only got to defend his title ONCE against long time rival Hiromu Takahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 15, where Wrestling/HiromuTakahashi dethroned him. |
| 2 | * EnsembleDarkHorse: In NJPW, due to him being a MorePopularReplacement of the previous Bone Soldier not to mention his ripped body and his incredible wrestling skills. It didn't take a long time for him to gain popularity that rivals both Wrestling/WillOspreay and Hiromu Takahashi. |
| 3 | * EvilIsCool: A highly skilled athlete with a body akin that of the Franchise/{{Terminator}} and a dark villainous charisma, not to mention joining one of the most heelish yet also the most famous heel group in all pro wrestling. |
| 4 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: |
| 5 | ** His in ring debut in NJPW, where he ambushed Will Ospreay and was revealed to be the new addition to the Bullet Club as the Bone Soldier. He follows it up by beating Ospreay later on, not to mention having a great showing at the BOSJ tournament. |
| 6 | ** Basically whenever he and Hiromu Takahashi shared a ring together, with their match at the BOSJ 25 Finals being considered as the best match the two had ever had, it was even given 5.5 stars by Meltzer. |
| 7 | ** Defeating Hirooki Goto, a heavyweight mind you, in a one on one bout. This is one of the very rare occasions where a junior defeats a heavyweight in NJPW. |
| 8 | * MorePopularReplacement: He's generally seen as the far superior Bone Soldier compared to his predecessor. Where Mitsuhide Hirasawa was a failed jobber mascot who'd lost all the charm of his previous run as Captain New Japan and turned the very name of Bullet Club's iconic T-shirt template into a complete joke, Ishimori is a highly skilled athlete and champion with a [[JapaneseDelinquent delinquent]] {{face|OfAThug}}, [[MrFanservice washboard abs]], and unrelenting tenacity. In fact, considering the amount of mockery the idea of Bone Soldier received thanks to Hirasawa's run and how all that immediately stopped once Ishimori donned his mask, an easy argument can be made that the Bone Soldier tagline was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap by Taiji Ishimori. |
