Kid: "Hey, Queen's Quest! You guys may have two singles belts, but what about you as a unit? You have no fighting spirit, no fighting spirit at all! Wouldn't it be better to just break up and go your separate ways? Especially Lady C. You lost to the same opponent with the same move twice in a row. You're all talk, really. You useless bum! Hahahaha"
Utami: "Hey, you Oedo Tai guys, just because youa singledoesn't mean you should suddenly start picking fights with Queen's Quest. You're pathetic since you don't have a single belt, so I might take you on."
Momo: "Hey, Hayashishita Utami, you're also uncrowned, aren't you? Hayashishita Utami, you're finished. Thanks to this girl (Lady), nothing is decided. It's so boring. I'm tired of it, tired of it, tired of it. So how about a best-of-five match? But a simple best-of-five match won't satisfy us Oedo Tai... Tug-of-war! You know tug-of-war, right? The one that's decided by tug-of-war. We'll decide our opponents by tug-of-war. And we'll thoroughly destroy you guys."
AZM: "Tug-of-war? Do you guys want to have a sports day? If you want to have a sports day that badly, why don't you ask Tanukichi-sensei to draw a sports day in 'Stardom Girls' School'? Yeah, I guess so. It's fine. There are a lot of things to criticize, but it sounds interesting so I'll do it. Next, QQ will destroy Watanabe Momo, so look forward to it."
Kid: "Tug-of-war? Sounds fun. For Oedo Tai, doing things the normal way is the most boring. Making things more and more interesting is what Oedo Tai is all about, and AZM just said he's going to destroy Watanabe Momo, but is he only looking at Momo? Come and watch our five-match singles series!"
Ruika: "Queen's Quest, I'm going to destroy all of you with a freezer bomb!"
Comment from Oedo Tai
Ruika: "I've managed to win against Lady C again."
Kid: "You haven't learned anything. No wonder people call you useless. Anyway, tug-of-war! A best-of-five singles match."
Momo: "Don't you think that's a really great idea?"
Kid: "Yeah, that's nice. I'm getting tired of these tag team matches every time. Because it's almost always the same result. That useless guy."
Momo: "Because of that guy, things always end up being super boring."
Kid: "They came up with an interesting suggestion."
Momo: "I made a solid, solid proposal. If it's a five-game singles match, won't the final decision be decided by now?"
Kid: "Oedo Tai has won five in a row."
Momo: "If we win five games in a row, we'll win. It'll be over, over. But we don't know who our opponent will be yet."
Kid: "That's interesting! You guys won't know who's going to be in a singles match unless you come and see it in person. Have you ever seen a five-match singles series this exciting?"
Ryuka: "No, there isn't."
Kid: "Hahaha. I think the Oedo Tai's victory is already in sight."
