Please continue to support Maika, the3rdFuture of Stardom Champion."
Maika's comment
--Becoming a champion
"Well, between a gorilla (Iida) and a chimpanzee (Kamiya), it was obvious that a human would win. But the gorilla was incredibly powerful, and the chimpanzee was amazing at jumping around. Looking back, I think they were really interesting opponents."
—What was your first round-robin tournament like?
"It was my first time, but I've experienced a lot of things, and I believe that I can use those experiences to grow and improve myself. That's what I thought Future was all about. I think it's a necessary experience for my future."
—By winning two titles, including the Artist of the Year title, you brought another belt to Donna del Mondo
"Yes, that's right. I wonder if Donna del Mondo will take all the belts from now on. I think Giulia will take the white belt, so I think belts will start accumulating in DDM one after another."
—What kind of champion do you want to be? A young champion's belt, you say
"How should I put it? Champion equals me. I'm the strongest. I think I'll get even stronger in the future."
--The belt you wanted from Shimi?
"That's true. To be honest, I wanted to take it from Utami Hayashishita, but she gave it back, and I think the result is that I wasn't strong enough before she gave it back."
—Do you pay attention to Shimi's defense record?
"Well, I'll aim to be the one with the most title defenses."

Julia's comment
--After winning the first round
"Well, I thought I was done for, I lost consciousness midway through. She was really strong. Konami, Konami, just as I expected, no, even more than I expected, I was in danger again and again and my consciousness drifted away. No, she's too strong. There are so many strong girls in Stardom, and it's really motivating me right now, and now that I've beaten Konami, it's only natural that Giulia will win this tournament and wear the white belt. I'm not letting Natsuko or Tam take it."

Nakano's comment
"I somehow managed to get through the first round by the skin of my teeth. It was incredible... Natsuko's, Oedo Tai's tenacity... it was just amazing. My whole body is not in the pain of pro wrestling. All sorts of metal lumps were flying at me, but I've finally gotten closer to the white belt. So on26th... hehehe... I'll finally be able to mess up Giulia, the person I've always wanted to mess up the most in the universe! And beyond that, there's a promise I absolutely have to keep. (Grabs her wristband) I promised to continue fighting, carrying her weight on my shoulders as well, so I am absolutely the most worthy white belt champion in the universe! I'll do my best, I'll do my best, so everyone, please believe in me and follow me. Everyone... take some cute pictures of me."
--I think you used to see Natsuko as a rival, but is Natsuko a rival now? Or is it something else?
"When I look into Natsuko's eyes, I get goosebumps, and the blood in my body boils. That feeling hasn't changed in three years. Natsuko was the one who gave me the opportunity to step into Stardom, the ring of my dreams, and she was the very first person I fought. I feel it's destiny. I always have. She seems to be going through a rebellious phase now, but... her tenacity? Actually, she has a rather earnest side. She probably wouldn't like it if I said that (laughs), but I still love that about her just as much. But I've never once acknowledged her as a rival. Hehehe. Not a rival. Do I not need to talk about what happens after I win the white belt? That can wait until after I win it. We'll create together. That's all from Nakano Tam, the cutest in the universe, to everyone in the universe! Please continue to love me the most in the universe from tomorrow onwards. Bye-bye."
—What about the wristbands?
"These are the wristbands I wear with Arisa Hoshiki. Originally, it said DREAM SHiNE , but for some reason it disappeared. After Hoshiki retired, she wrote it on for me by hand. ' DREAM SHiNE Tam - chan, you've always been the best and most tsundere tag team partner. SHiNiNG STAR, always the Stardom Dream.'"
Julia appears
Julia: "You're talking way too long! How long are you going to keep going?!"
Tamu: "What, do you need something?"
Julia takes Nakano's wristband and stomps on it
Nakano: "Don't mess with me! Get your foot off me!"
Julia: "How long are you going to keep saying that? Are you an idiot?"
Nakano: "Do you have a problem with that? Do you have a problem with the feeling of cherishing your friends?"
Julia: "Are you an idiot? That's what happens when you keep doing stuff like that. You're crazy. It's taking too long. Time to pack up is approaching."
Nakano: "I'm not pressuring you at all. What's your problem? Are you trying to cause trouble? You call people thugs and thugs, but you really do like me so much, you can't stop thinking about me. Why do you pay so much attention to me?"
Julia: "You talk too much."
Nakano: "He always runs away like that. Because he can't win with words."
Julia: "If you keep doing that, you'll never get the white belt, and you won't even be worthy of a challenge. Stop dwelling on those who've left. I'm your opponent now."
Nakano: "Of course, I'm looking forward to facing you in the final. But you understand that fighting isn't just one-on-one, right...?"
Julia: "It's one against one. You and I, one against one."
Nakano: "I will fight you carrying the feelings of many people—the audience, the fans, everyone at Stardom, my former teammates who have retired. I will carry everyone's feelings and wear the white belt. And I will make the white belt the symbol of Stardom. That is why I fight. I will make you realize that in the final match."
Julia: "I understand your feelings perfectly. If you feel that strongly about it, then take all those feelings on your shoulders and try to beat me. I'm looking forward to it."
Julia leaves the field
Nakano: "See you at Korakuen Hall on July26th. Arrivederci."
