What is your favourite NJPW title?

This might sound like a stupid question, but what's your favourite NJPW title? Current, past, doesn't matter. Just so I can clarify, this isn't about the championship's design or look itself, before everyone says IWGP Heavyweight V4 (as you are right to do). This is more a question of "if you saw every title on a card, which of them would you say you would be looking forward to the most?"

For me, it's the NEVER Openweight. I love almost everything about NJPW but for me the NEVER Openweight title just represents something that you simply don't get in western companies like WWE and AEW, a style that's the whole reason I started watching in the first place about ten years ago. The title that represents people like Shingo and Ishii, and even wrestlers I initially couldn't care less about like Taichi but ended up growing to love. Personally, and it's probably a stupid feeling, the NEVER title just represents the eternal "never say die" attitude of someone who by all means should be World champion but isn't "marketable" enough. So they break through the ceiling with their fists instead of their fans.
