8 minutes 32 seconds |

She will be aiming to win the 5☆STAR GP and earn the right to challenge for the red belt. That said, her opponent, Natsuko Tora, is a formidable opponent despite being on a losing streak.

Konami: "I won against Mayu Iwatani with a triangle armlock! So, I'd like to wrap things up today with Tokyo Cyber Squad for the first time in a while."
Screaming Woman: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Just wait a minute. Have some water. Aren't we all forgetting something? There's something that hasn't been settled yet. Oedo Tai! I want a match scheduled right now. Right?"
Konami: "Yeah, if you want to do jungle, let's do it."
Natsuko: "Hey!"
Natsuko and Kashima from the Oedo Tai team enter
Natsuko: "It's not like you want to do Jungle. Are you guys living in a fantasy world? Come on, we're fed up with all this going back and forth. So I've decided on my own that TCS will disband on September28that the Korakuen Hall event!"
The Oedo Tai team leaves the arena
Screaming Woman: "So, we're going to do it, is that right? We're going to do it, right? TCS won't disband. Right? All we have to do is win, right?"
Konami: "So,28? Are we doing it? It's decided. Got it. Then we'll definitely not disband, and we won't lose to Oedo Tai. Thanks in advance. So, we'd like to wrap things up with TCS today. Everyone is different, and that's okay, that's Tokyo Cyber Squad, yes sir!"
Comments from Konami
Konami: "As always, Iwatani Mayu was incredibly tenacious. But I managed to get a submission win against the red belt champion, Iwatani Mayu, with my triangle armlock. So, I think it would be perfectly fine for me to challenge for the red belt next. Well, before that, Jungle said there are things he wants to do after 5☆STAR ends, but I really don't understand why Tora Natsuko is so attached to TCS. But Jungle wants to do it, and Natsuko wants to do it too. If that's the case, I'll fight any opponent. I will never lose to Oedo Tai, and I will not let TCS disband."
--Tomorrow's match against Giulia in Sendai
"Tomorrow's match against Julia"
--I've lost once before
"Yes, that's true. But I understood everything Giulia wants to do, all the moves she uses, in the first round of that white belt tournament, in that match, and it's all ingrained in my body. As I said in my comments after losing in the white belt tournament last time, she's not an unbeatable opponent, so tomorrow I want to draw her into my pace and get Giulia to submit."
