*The other person is Momoko Watanabe
Giulia suffered a neck injury and retired from the league tournament. Her final official match was a one-on-one bout against Watanabe Momo, but Momo won by default. As a result, Momo finished the official tournament with 6 wins and 3 losses, accumulating12points, and her advancement to the finals will depend on the results of the Red Stars official matches held today. First, she will face the sisters Hanan and Rina in a three-way match. After this match, will Momo be given a chance to play in the finals, or will her 5★STAR GP career end here? Her previous official match on September 20thatKorakuen Hall ended unsatisfactorily, so she can't just give up now, but all she can do is wait and see.
Rinami provokes both of them at once. She pretends to grapple but stomps on both of their feet. Both of them attempt dropkicks, but Rinami dodges them and then hair whips Hanan. An enraged Momo knocks her down with an elbow and dodges Rinami's charge. Momo hits Hanan with a middle kick, but Rinami pulls Momo's leg from under the ring. Rinami and Hanan exchange elbows. Hanan rolls her up and uses a judo technique. Rinami kicks out, but Momo makes a comeback and throws Hanan out. Rinami puts Momo in a Manji Gatame (figure-four leglock). Hanan tries to break it up, but Rinami catches them both. Hanan breaks it up with a dropkick and teams up with Momo. After a series of throws into the corners, Rinami separates Momo. Hanan rolls her up, and Rinami is pinned

Gassan Kazuka |
Mai Sakurai and Wakana Tsukiyama, who joined Stardom from Actwres girl'Z, were given a series of singles matches called the Stardom Challenge. Sakurai had10matches, while Tsukiyama, who joined later, had 7. In the final match, the two, who joined at the same time, faced each other in a singles match.

Sakurai's comment
"Today, I won my double challenge singles match against Tsukiyama Waka! Thank you so much to everyone who cheered me on. I'm incredibly happy. I got my first win since coming to Stardom. But it wasn't an easy win, so I'll practice a lot more... I'm a little out of breath... I'll do my best to aim even higher. Thank you."
-- You had a singles match against Tsukiyama on a big stage
"I've always considered them teammates, having gone through tough times and fun times together, and having practiced together so much, so I was really looking forward to this match. But I couldn't give up on my desire to win, so I gave it my all."
--Looking back on the challenge match
"Yes, I'm definitely getting more and more used to the ring with each match, and although I couldn't really speak up at first, I've gradually become able to speak up more, and I want to become an even stronger wrestler and captivate all of you, so please support me."

Mina Shirakawa [6 points] |
7 minutes 27 seconds |
Natsupoi [9 points] |
This is the final official match between Natsupoi and Shirakawa Mina, who both participated in Stardom around the same time last year. During the series, Natsupoi lost the High Speed Championship to Starlight Kid. In her first appearance in the 5★STAR GP in a while, she has a winning record so far. Since Watanabe Momo12points, even if she wins here, she won't be able to advance to the finals. However, having a winning record before the final match is quite an achievement. For that reason, she will want to win her last match and end on a high note. On the other hand, Shirakawa has faltered after a two-match winning streak and is currently on a six-match losing streak. She, too, will want to win her last match and end on a high note. Her matches haven't shown any signs of faltering, so all the more reason she will want to make "all's well that ends well" a positive.
As the gong sounds, both wrestlers charge forward, and in a rope-work exchange, Shirakawa lands a dropkick. Shirakawa dodges Natsupoi's dropkick. Shirakawa goes outside the ring, and as Natsupoi runs, he comes back into the ring and poses. Natsupoi lands a dropkick from behind. Shirakawa is thrown into the corner and runs, striking a pose. An enraged Shirakawa makes a Natsupoi-esque pose. Shirakawa is put in a headlock and thrown, then hits a flying cross chop and a hanging ceiling suplex in quick succession. He then goes for a dragon sleeper. Natsupoi resists as he attempts a body slam and lands a series of dropkicks. Natsupoi lands a corner dropkick followed by a neckbreaker. Shirakawa attempts a swing neckbreaker, but Natsupoi locks him in the neck. Shirakawa slams him down and Natsupoi prepares for a German suplex. Shirakawa escapes to the ropes, but Natsupoi takes him to the center. Shirakawa's roll-up attempt is countered by an aerial body slam. Natsupoi rolls up Shirakawa as he charges. Natsupoi delivered a low dropkick to Shirakawa, who had returned the hold. Shirakawa fell to the floor, and Natsupoi climbed onto the corner. Shirakawa dropped her and delivered a plancha from the second base. The fight spilled outside the ring, and Natsupoi dragged her onto the ramp and attacked. After an exchange of body slams, Shirakawa slammed her down. As Shirakawa tried to get back, Natsupoi delivered a dropkick to her back, but Shirakawa pulled her leg back to prevent her from returning. Natsupoi grabbed her on the apron, but Shirakawa delivered an implant DDT. Shirakawa returned to the ring and won by count-out
Shirakawa's comment
"Yes, yes. I finally won my third singles match against Natsupoi and got 2 points! Applause! Applause! Applause! We both won by ring out outside the ring, but I still got the win. Maybe my mental attack worked? And now, this year's trendy Stardom pose. Shirakawa Mina (strikes the pose). Everyone, try it out. Yay, I'm so happy."

Koguma [11 points] |
7 minutes 5 seconds |
Himeka [10 points] |
Himeka and Koguma face off in their final official match. Himeka, who returned from a back injury and joined the 5★STAR GP midway through, started with a losing streak but has since recovered, keeping her chances of reaching the finals alive as she heads into the final match. Himeka, last year's runner-up, aims for her second consecutive appearance in the finals and her first championship title as she clashes with Koguma. Koguma, making her first 5★STAR GP entry since returning to active competition, displays her genius without showing any signs of rust. Although her chances of winning the championship have already disappeared, it will be a very interesting match to see if she can pull off an upset against last year's runner-up

Comment from Koguma
"I beat Himeka! It was kind of my first time, I've never done a tag team match before, and of course it was my first time in a singles match. I knew she was a big wrestler, but she's insane. As expected of someone so big, she has a lot of power, and my throat is all hoarse. But I managed to win! And Himeka turned into a big bear for me. That's the key to my victory today! (laughs)"
—Was the power greater than you expected?
"It was the kind of power that just overwhelms you. There are big players, but he had a different kind of physique. It was amazing. No, it was fun."
—Were you aiming for a comeback victory?
"Yes, I'm wide horizontally but not tall vertically. So there were areas where I needed to fill in the gaps. That was something I was aiming for."
—Looking back on the league season?
"I don't know, of course I wanted to win and go to the finals, but rather than focusing on that, this league season became about making various discoveries and pursuing enjoyment in each and every match."
—It's been three months since your return, right?
"Because I've had a lot of matches, I've watched footage of myself right after my return and I've realized it's different. My body feels lighter, too. My condition is steadily improving. I'm only going to keep going up from here."
--You'll be facing Hazuki at Osaka-jo Hall. This must be a particularly meaningful match for you, right?
"It's special in many ways. We have a lot in common, like getting into pro wrestling because we love it. We're from the same hometown, the same age, and we lived in the same dorm. We're both from the same fifth class, and we're both returning wrestlers. There are so many things, it's almost overwhelming, and a lot of emotions are swirling around, but I hope to settle things at Osaka Castle and get it all sorted out."

Mayu Iwatani [11 points] |
9 minutes 16 seconds: |
Starlight Kid [11 points] |
Mayu Iwatani and Starlight Kid's match can be described as a grudge showdown. Kid, a former member of STARS, was forced to transfer to Oedo Tai due to the rules, but chose to remain with Oedo Tai rather than return to STARS. Since then, she has fought with renewed determination, and in this series, she defeated Natsupoi to win the coveted High Speed Championship. On top of that, she is doing well in the 5★STAR GP, leading the pack and currently trailingonepoint behind the leader, Momo Watanabe, heading into the final match. As promised, Oedo Tai will likely come out with all their might to assist Kid. How will Iwatani respond? This is a full-scale war between STARS and Oedo Tai in a different form. Will Kid win and advance to the championship match, or will Iwatani sabotage Kid and extinguish her chances of winning?
Based on the results of the previous match, it was announced that if Kid won this match, he would advance to the finals; if Iwatani won, Momo would advance; and in the event of a draw, Kid would advance to the finals based on the result of the head-to-head match. Oedo Tai was in Kid's corner. Both slowly approached each other, touching foreheads, and Kid poked Iwatani in the chest. After an exchange of elbows, Iwatani landed a flurry of punches and a back kick. Iwatani landed a dropkick, but Kid retaliated with a neckbreaker. Kid applied a figure-four neck lock, but Iwatani escaped. Kid pinned Iwatani against the ropes and delivered a dropkick to the waist. When Iwatani countered, Kid delivered a series of mocking slaps from both sides. As Iwatani went for a chokehold, the referee stepped in to stop her. Iwatani hit Kid with a sling blade as he dashed towards her. Iwatani attempted a tope to Kid who had gone outside the ring, but Kid dodged it. Kid performed a La Quebrada and brought Iwatani back into the ring. Kid delivered a diving body attack from the corner. Iwatani countered, and Kid went for the Black Tiger Divine Punishment. Iwatani counterattacks, but Kid delivers a chop. Iwatani fights back, and they exchange chops. Iwatani collapses, and Kid follows up with more blows. Kid attacks Iwatani's face with a knee. Kid stands firm. Iwatani delivers a series of chops and a thrust kick. Iwatani does a diving foot stomp from the second base, and Kid delivers a Bakatare Kick. Iwatani dodges the moonsault.

Iwatani's comment
"Today, I wasn't able to compete in the finals on the Ota Ward stage, and I missed out on the championship, but in the very end, I faced Starlight Kid, an opponent I absolutely couldn't afford to lose to, and I realized that she's still a formidable opponent, a very high hurdle to overcome. Right now, rather than feeling disappointed about not winning the championship, I'm relieved that I was able to fight Kid today and win. I definitely want to win the championship next year."
—What were your feelings when you asked to shake hands after the match?
"Why, why is that? Well, I wonder why? I have special feelings for Kid, so I was always by his side for several years after his debut, and now we're apart... I don't know. Maybe it's just my personality?"
――12The Ryogoku tournament this month has been announced
"I'm incredibly happy. I never imagined that I'd be able to stand on such a big stage as Ryogoku for Yuzupon's retirement match, but I think it's amazing that Stardom has continued without ending, and I'm happy that Stardom can hold a Ryogoku tournament and that I can stand on that stage again. Eight years ago it was an eight-person tag team mixed match, and I was up against Susa Eri, but this year Iwatani Mayu has the catchphrase, or rather, the name of an icon, of Stardom, so I want to deliver a wonderful match this year."

AZM [8 points] |
3 minutes 39 seconds |
Ryuka [0 points] |
AZM and Ryukana faced off in their final official match. Neither made it into the championship race, but AZM left an impact with a big upset. Ryukana, on the other hand, enters the final match with a perfect record of losses. Despite showing signs of growth as a singles wrestler, she still hasn't secured a victory. Will she be determined to win this time, or will she stick to her usual heel tactics, disregarding wins and losses? A Future of Stardom Championship match for Ryukana seems likely at Osaka-jo Hall on October9th…
As AZM was called, Ryuka launched a surprise attack. AZM attempted a hurricanrana, but Ryuka resisted and went for a face wash. Ryuka countered and went for a lariat after a front kick. AZM dodged and delivered a dropkick. AZM tried to land another one, but Ryuka countered with a lariat. As Ryuka tried for another, AZM countered with a brainbuster. AZM attempted a diving foot stomp followed by a Mystica. Ryuka escaped, but AZM attempted a triangle jump. Ryuka countered this with a fisherman suplex. Ryuka went for a freezer bomb, but AZM dodged and rolled him up. However, the seconds intervened and broke up the pin. Kashima and Rina delivered a double dropkick. Ryuka then pulled out a box, but AZM dodged it. AZM tried to roll him up, but Ryuka countered. However, AZM jumped in with Mystica and rolled him up with Azumi Sushi, and the referee counted to three
AZM's comment
"I successfully secured a clean three-count victory against Ryuka in the final match of the 5★STAR official league. It's surprising that Ryuka didn't score zero points, because every single one of her hits is so powerful. How old is she again? 14? I'm envious that she was able to participate in the official league match properly instead of just being a substitute, so I would really like to face Ryuka again in 5★STAR next year. I may not win the championship, but I'm definitely going to win an award at the awards ceremony at the end."

Unagi Sayaka [9 points] |
11 minutes 53 seconds |
Saya Kamitani [11 points] |
This is the final official match between Saya Kamitani and Sayaka Unagi. Kamitani started with two consecutive losses but, after one draw, went on a five-match winning streak to get into contention for the championship. Unagi, on the other hand, also competed for the Future Championship during the series, fighting in both the single league and the Future Championship. The two also faced each other in an extra match of Unagi's seven-match series, where Kamitani won decisively. Kamitani still has the right to challenge Unagi for the Future Championship. Although it seems like she has graduated from the title, in reality, she has not held the belt, so it seems that Kamitani herself still has lingering feelings about it. Nevertheless, this is a crucial match for a place in the final. If Kamitani wins, she will undoubtedly be at the top of the Blue Stars in terms of points
After the gong, Unagi offers a handshake. Kamitani sends him flying with a dropkick and follows up with a series of elbows. Unagi dodges the dropkick. Kamitani confuses Unagi with a cartwheel and delivers another dropkick. Unagi body slams Kamitani and offers another handshake. Kamitani shakes him off and delivers a dropkick to Unagi's charge. Kamitani delivers a series of stomps to Unagi's legs. Kamitani locks Unagi's legs but Unagi escapes. Kamitani delivers a flurry of stomps to Unagi's legs and gets back up after taking an elbow from him. Kamitani dashes forward but Unagi stops him and delivers a Codebreaker. Unagi limps but still manages a Face Crusher. Kamitani counters and Unagi attempts a Big Fuhen Hold. Kamitani resists and lands an elbow. Kamitani performs a Frankensteiner and then a swan dive plancha to the outside. He returns to the ring and delivers a swan dive body attack. As Unagi attempts a Star Crusher, he counters and slams Kamitani forward. Kamitani dodges Unagi's lariat and charges forward, but is slammed face-first into the mat. They exchange elbows while on their knees, and Kamitani takes the hits and gets back up. After an elbow exchange, Unagi is down. Kamitani stomps on his head, pulls him up, and knocks him down with an elbow. Kamitani taunts, "Come on," and stands defiant. Unagi lands an elbow and Kamitani falls. Unagi delivers a series of heel drops. Kamitani hits a missile kick. When Unagi counters, he hits Kamitani on the corner with a Codebreaker. He throws a guillotine and then another diving guillotine from the corner. When Kamitani counters, Unagi applies a Daifuhen Hold. Kamitani counters and throws him backward, then hits a double kick. When Unagi counters, Kamitani jumps and hits a Frankensteiner. Unagi counters and applies a Daifuhen Hold. The hold is broken but Unagi covers. When Kamiya retaliates, Unagi goes for the Taigi Atta. Kamiya does a Frankensteiner from behind but Unagi's shoulders rise. Kamiya pulls him up and goes for the Star Crusher. Unagi counters and slams him down with the Taigi Atta, and Kamiya can't kick out, so the three count is made
Comments about eels
"Yeah!!! I stopped Saya Kamitani from going to the finals! She lost in the Unagi Kabuki Seven-Match Series Extra Edition, so now it's 1 win and 1 loss. She has more challenges ahead of her, but I'm going to accelerate from here and overtake everyone. I guess I got a bit of a Kabuki again today. I'll be moving forward from Nagoya again! Unagi Kabuki is not over! Alright!"
--Regarding the league matches
"Unlike the seven-game series, everyone was serious about winning and getting those wins. In that sense, we're starting to fight on equal footing, right? There are still so many titles I haven't held yet. There are so many people above me that I'm aiming for. From here on, I want to keep going strong without letting my guard down."

Small wave [10 points] |
Both Maika and Konami were at the top of their respective blocks midway through the league season. However, Maika's one loss has already eliminated her chances of reaching the finals. Konami10points, but even if she wins this match, she will be left to chance and wait for the results to come. Nevertheless, Konami will likely cling to her last hope and go for the win. Will Maika try to stop her?
As Maika, who entered later, was called, Konami attacked her and sent her outside the ring. Outside the ring, the Oedo Tai attacked Maika. Konami also got out of the ring and slammed Maika into the ring post. However, Maika delivered a body slam outside the ring. She brought Konami back into the ring and went for a brainbuster.

Maika's comment
"The grueling 5★STAR challengeis finally over. I ended up with a score of 9 points, but in this 5★STAR, I was able to beat the people I wanted to beat, and I lost to the people I didn't want to lose to. There were a lot of things that happened, but I think this will make me even stronger. This is still not enough for me. I'm going to get even stronger."

Tam Nakano [10 points] |
13 minutes 55 seconds |
Utami Hayashishita [10 points] |
The official match between Utami Hayashishita and Tam Nakano is also a showdown between the red and white champions. Utami, the red belt champion, has10points so far, and if she wins, she still has a chance to advance to the finals, albeit with some luck on her side. In order to achieve a second consecutive championship, she must secure 2 points in this match. On the other hand, Nakano, the white belt champion, has an even record and has been eliminated from the championship race. It is possible that she will try to sabotage the red champion in this red vs. white champion showdown. It remains to be seen what impact the fact that the conditions are no longer the same—the winner advances to the finals—will have. This will be a champion showdown that is worth watching in many ways.
Based on the results of the previous match, it was announced that if Nakano wins, Shuri will advance to the final; if Utami draws, Shuri will advance to the final; and if Utami wins, the direct match will be a draw, so the match to determine the next qualifier will be between ShuriandUtami.

Nakano's comment
"Ouch! The red! Champion! I've dragged Utami Hayashishita down from the finals. Is that right? Am I ugly? Are you okay? Who decided that red is the highest belt in Stardom? I think this white belt should be the symbol of Stardom. Utami Hayashishita, let's definitely do this again, with the value of red and white on the line. The symbol of Stardom is this sacred white belt, and the champion of this sacred white belt is Tam Nakano. I didn't win the 5-Star Championship, and there are many people who want to fight for this belt, but there is one person I especially want to fight! Watch me. Thank you."
