Sakurai: "Unagi Sayaka, you're always so energetic. But I absolutely hate being forced to do things! Go bark in your own little world called Kozuen!"
Unagi: "I hate people who are ungrateful or who blame others. Try doing things on your own responsibility. And I hate the people on the sidelines who have nothing to do with it but just keep on talking without showing their faces. Sakurai, try it if you think you can."

Julia's comment
"Today is the last preliminary match before Ryogoku, right, with Shuri. We're also scheduled to have two more matches before Ryogoku. The last match before Ryogoku is called the Arikaba Memorial, which is a great title. I don't know what will happen after Ryogoku, so I'm going to reaffirm what our relationship is, and then I'll mercilessly go to Ryogoku and take the red belt from Shuri. Hey Prominence, you want to make it to Stardom, right? If you want to make it to Stardom, just say so honestly. That's what's lame about you. And Shuri, first of all, it's me, me. I'm your opponent first! Don't go blabbing about what's going to happen next when you haven't even beaten me yet. Iwatani? I'm Giulia, and Iwatani will be fighting you. You were talking about taking the red belt with Sera or something, but I'm absolutely not going to let that happen. Don't go deciding what's going to happen next on your own."
Comment from Juri
"Today was the crucial final preliminary match against Julia. We're not in cahoots or anything. Sera Risa ruined this important time for me. After Ryogoku, you better be prepared."

Maika: "You're really persistent, aren't you? Do you know that being persistent makes people dislike you? Well, this will be your seventh time? That puts me on par with you guys. Well, well, you're challenging me and there's a new record at stake, so I guess I'll accept."
Shirakawa: "Thank you, Champion. It's a good thing to be chased, so I think you should be happy. Well,my eighthtitle defense, I couldn't lift my shoulder at the end, and the belt was taken from me, and I was so frustrated that I couldn't even do my cute dance anymore. So, I really want it back. I'd like that pink belt back!"
Nakano: "Yeah, that's so Maihime-like. Thank you for taking that belt you stole from us and raising it well. It brought good fortune and power to Kozuen, so we're getting that belt back. Right, Natsu?"

Comments from Maihime
Maika: "We successfully completed the challenge for the sixth time. The next challengers are COSMIC ANGELS again, they're really persistent, aren't they? But their best was their seventh time. So we'll be able to match that, so I think they're a good challenger. But we're not quite there yet. We'll keep breaking new records for this artist belt!"

Eel: "He looked happy today."
Shirakawa: "Even 'no, no' can mean 'yes,' and being chased is truly a sign of affection."
Nakano: "Honestly, I didn't think Maihimepoi would get this far. We can't let her tie our record for most title defenses. The only one who can stop her is Kozuen."
Shirakawa: "Honestly, I've always had a lingering resentment because I was defeated in the final of my eighth title defense, so I intend to take it back myself."
Eel: "No, no, no, no, no, but of course, Eel Sayaka will go and get it!"
Nakano: "No, no, no, it has to be our leader, Nakano Tamu, who takes the lead."
Shirakawa: "No, no, no, no, I'm sure Changmin will cutely and charmingly get it back!"
Nakano: "So, it's also a battle between the three of them... what do you call it?..."

Unagi: "That's true. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Shirakawa: "We've grown quite a bit, so let's show them a new kind of fight."
Nakano: "It's very Maihime-like, I'll enjoy it."
