Thoughts on the run
Not much to say other then this is an extremely clean run that is well executed. It takes full advantage of “allowed segmenting” (for intended ranking) to manipulate A/I and positioning of enemies. He gets the quickest kill on all of the bosses possible. Cut-scenes also seem to be skipped at nearly if not the first available moment. This run seems to be as fast as the current route allows.
The only thing of note is that I’m not sure why in the first phase of the shagohod escape section the runner doesn’t RPG him to lay on some extra damage early. (I guess it might not be possible without cold war camo because this is new game/could also be that the dmg isn’t enough to eliminate even 1 cycle on final phase) (if there is a good reason feel free to correct me.)
Final Decision:
High Quality run in more way then one this is just the kind of thing SDA is looking for I give this run an easy
ACCEPT IT.

This run is incredible (particularly the new Ocelot Unit strategy). Like another verifier mentioned though, I am curious why he didn't fire at the Shagohod earlier in the chase sequence. With his skill, I don't doubt that he could have done enough damage there to save an extra attack or two in the actual boss fight. My best guess as to why is that it would generate lag or he'd lose time from switching between the stun grenades and RPG. If that's the case, I imagine he still would've come out slightly ahead with proper menu work.
Vote: Accept.
(As a minor note, there's an audio chirp in the first segment around 2:34. Not sure anything can be done, but it's loud enough to be worth mentioning.)

A/V Quality : Fine, except for that noisy sound in the first part at 2:34.
Hikari's precision and skills are always a delight. It's amazing to still see him coming up with new strategies and squeezing the time even more, especially on boss fights.
About that first Shagohod phase : I think he decided it just wasn't worth it. In his previous run(s) (on youtube) he shoots the Shagohod there, but even with his quick-reload skills he doesn't do enough damage to influence the last phase. He always needs 8 hits there either way. It doesn't make a difference in regard to the life bar either, because the last bit always fades instantly instead of slowly depleting like the ones before.
At least I guess that could be the reason.
No cheating.
Accept
BTW : The commentary is apparently auto-translated and hilariously bad. I wonder if this will be changed, especially because the commentary on his other runs is fine.
