You need to take that reality more seriously. And in professional wrestling, you can't survive unless you use your brain and body to their fullest. This is my advice."

If she defeats Iida, she will become the champion for the first time. Iida lost to Nanae Takahashi and Arisa Nakajima in a tag team match with Momo, so she is determined not to lose again.

Iida: "Hanaho Nori, what did you think of Stardom? Stardom is an organization with a deep roster of wrestlers and a lot of unique personalities. If you keep going like this, you won't be able to beat me. If you're representing SEAdLINNNG, you need to work harder."
Honori: "Shut up!"

This match will be a great opportunity for Natsuko and Kashima to build momentum before challenging DDM's Maika and Himeka for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship at the Nippon Budokan on March 3rd. Another key point of this match is that Ruaka is in the main event. Ruaka has been showing signs of growth in recent singles matches against various opponents, so it will be interesting to see what role she plays in this all-out unit showdown. How the STARS members support her will also be crucial
Gokigen volunteers to go first and faces Konami. As Gokigen starts striking a pose, Konami kicks him. They do some rope work, and Gokigen puts his elbow on the mat and strikes a pose.

Kashima delivered a diving foot stomp to Iwatani. Gokigen tried to break up the attack but Konami pulled his leg. Natsuko caught Kid, and Ruaka kicked him away. Ruaka and Kashima kicked Iwatani. Ruaka body-slammed Iwatani.10minutes had passed. Ruaka brought out a chair and struck Iwatani on the head. Kashima delivered a big boot to Iwatani. The referee counted to three, and the Oedo Tai won.
Kashima: "Iwatani, you've been betrayed again! As you can see, Ruaka doesn't want to work with you guys! Too bad for you."
Iwatani: "Hey Oedo Tai, enough is enough, you've done it so many times already. Ruaka... If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't try to stop you. But I've been betrayed so badly, Oedo Tai, STARS, it's all-out war now."
Kid: "Hey Oedo Tai, sorry anytime, anywhere! Hey, Ruaka. An all-out war between the babyface STARSandthe heel Oedo Tai. Sounds incredibly exciting, doesn't it? Hehe. With Hanan back, it'll be 5 against 5. We'll go all out and crush them. In the end, the victors will be the righteous STARS."
Natsuko: "Hi everyone, it's the evil Oedo Tai. All-out war? Before that, Iwatani Mayu, you should rack your brains a bit and think about why people are leaving you. And have you guys ever thought about why all those kinds of people want to join Oedo Tai? All-out war, great. Let's make it spectacular. What are you going to do bringing along someone like Hanan, who's no help at all? The results are always the same. And they'll be the same in the future too. So, Bee-chan, please do the usual."
Priestley: "Are you okay? Mayu's friend. STARS will soon be just Mayu. Iwatani is lame. But Watanabe Momo is the most lame!"
STARS' comments
Iwatani: "I feel like saying, 'Don't mess with me!'"
Kid: "I have no idea what Ruaka was feeling when she entered the ring with STARS and fought today, and before the match, Tora Natsuko was saying all sorts of mocking things on social media, like STARS is the least appealing unit and that we don't need a unit like that. Jungle Kyona and Hanan are currently out of action, and Ruaka betrayed us today, so even though we're short on numbers, it feels like everything we've done up until now has been called a crappy unit and negated. But this is an all-out war, and I have no intention of losing. STARS is the official, regular army of Stardom. We, the righteous ones, will crush that evil unit."
Iwatani: "Why is everyone drifting away from STARS? Is it because I'm the leader? I'm sorry."
Comment from Oedo Tai
Natsuko: "So, Ruaka has joined our Oedo Tai starting today, so please be nice to him. Say something to him, I'm sure there are a lot of things you want to say."
Ruaka: "I don't know, it's like you can't grow if you stay there."
Natsuko: "If you say that, it's all over, Iwatani Mayu. How many years has it been, and you still haven't been able to train a single junior member? What a sloppy leader you are. How pathetic. So?"
Ruaka: "From now on, I want to show my darker side within the Oedo Tai."
Natsuko: "You'll have to wait and see how Ruaka changes in the future. That's all. I'm tired. I want to eat yakiniku."
