| Maika <14 points> |
6 minutes 58 seconds: |
Mai Sakurai <9 points> |
The 5★STAR GP official match between Maika and Sakurai Mai is a clash between two Donna del Mondo stablemates. The two had their first singles match last year on September 6th at Korakuen Hall in the "Sakurai Mai Stardom Challenge Match 4," where Maika emerged victorious. This will be their first singles match since becoming stablemates, and it will be a great opportunity for Sakurai, who has grown rapidly in this series, to showcase her skills. However, for Maika, this is a match she absolutely cannot lose if she wants to win her first championship. She needs to maintain a record of three losses going into the remaining matches, so she will want to secure two points while acknowledging Sakurai's growth
The match began with Sakurai initiating a handshake. As Sakurai went for a takedown, Maika grabbed her arm and put her in a headlock. When Sakurai threw her into the ropes, Maika delivered a shoulder tackle and a body slam. Maika warned her coming and delivered another body slam with a long hang time. When Sakurai kicked out, Maika hit a running lariat and a shoulder tackle. Sakurai went in with a series of elbows, to which Maika taunted, "Come on, give it more."

Maika kicked out, and Sakurai went for a reverse DDT. Maika countered with a powerslam. Sakurai applied an STF, but Maika escaped. Sakurai hit a big boot, a missile kick, and a standing guillotine. Sakurai declared she was going for the finish and delivered a diving elbow drop. But Maika fought back. Sakurai yelled, "It's over!" Maika countered, but Sakurai delivered a dropkick at close range. As Sakurai charged, Maika shouted, "Don't mess with me," and hit a lariat. She threw another one, but Sakurai got up and came at her. Then Maika hit a rolling lariat. Maika declared it was the finish and hit Sazanka. Urged on by Sakurai to "Get up," "Get up on your own," she came at Maika, who hit her with a dropkick. Finally, she hit Enka Otoshi for the three count
Maika's comment
--A showdown against fellow student Sakurai
"ayear since our last singles match, and the last time we fought was in an artist battle when he was still Kozuen, so this is our first match against a fellow member of the same stable. To be honest, at first I wasn't too happy about Sakurai coming. But he's shown me how much he's grown, so I've come to accept him, and we've spent more time together. I really think he's grown, but at the same time, because I have such high expectations for him, his shortcomings have become very noticeable. I wanted to teach Sakurai about those shortcomings with my whole body today, but I wonder how it went. For Sakurai going forward, having shortcomings isn't a bad thing; in fact, it means he has room to grow. So I have extremely high expectations for Sakurai's future, but I also need to grow myself, so I think I've gained a good rival."
--They have 14 points in the league standings . There's still a good chance they can win the championship.
"That's right. My final official match is against Himeka, and I'm determined to win all the remaining matches. Tekla isn't in the lineup, but I think Julia will be the one to reach the finals. I want to prove that I'm the strongest in DDM, and I want to go all out against Himeka in the final match, and Julia who will likely reach the finals."

| AZM <14 points> |
6 minutes 53 seconds |
Unagi Sayaka <2 points> |
AZM, who is leading the Red Stars, will face off against Unagi Sayaka, who has been unlucky in securing wins. Unagi won the 5★STAR GP official match last year, but she doesn't seem to have the same momentum this year, so it seems likely that high-speed champion AZM will get her revenge. However, Unagi cannot afford to remain silent any longer. Complacency would be AZM's greatest enemy. Will AZM be able to secure two points, or will Unagi hold her back?
AZM hits Unagi with a dropkick, then a cover, followed by a foot stomp to the back and taunts him with "Is that all you've got?". When Unagi throws an elbow, AZM retaliates and they exchange blows. As AZM charges, Unagi hits a facebuster and a guillotine drop. AZM stops Unagi's charge and hits a missile kick. Unagi blocks a brainbuster and they exchange elbows.

Unagi tries to get back, but AZM pulls his leg. Both men barely make it back. AZM tries to roll him up, but Unagi reverses, and they exchange roll-up attempts. AZM dashes forward, but Unagi hits him with a big boot. AZM reverses and rolls him up, and the referee counts to three
AZM's comment
"Hey, I, the high-speed champion, have scored 14 points. I'm going to keep this up and aim to become the youngest champion, so you'd better look forward to it."

Suzu's comment
"Mina Shirakawa, I beat her as expected and got the three-count, and things are going smoothly for 5★STAR, but I sensed a lot of hesitation from her. I don't know what that hesitation was, but I think she was hesitant today. I think that was the reason for her defeat. Suzu Suzuki will continue to shake up Stardom and win 5★STAR."

Kogo peach <2 points> |

Nakano's comment
"Momo Kogo is a weird one. Pro wrestling really reveals your personality. She's the type who easily loses sight of what's going on around her. But those kinds of people can show incredible concentration, so if she can find the right opportunity, she'll become even stronger. And when she gets stronger, she'll become a core member of STARS. 5★STAR, Shuri, Utami, SAKI, there are three really formidable opponents left, but I'm sure Tam Nakano will win and challenge for that belt before the end of the year. In 2022, Tam Nakano will reclaim her title as a double champion. Believe in Tam!"

Little Bear <10 points> |

For Sera, the draw she suffered against Sakurai in Osaka two days ago will be a crucial factor, determining whether it will be a positive or negative. The winner will keep their hopes alive in this match.
When Koguma offered a handshake, Sera looked confused. Koguma approached Sera in a bear pose. Sera stomped on him repeatedly, shouting, "What bear!" Koguma stopped Sera's charge and delivered a dropkick from the side. She cornered him against the ropes and stomped on his back with a foot stomp.

"It's been a while since I've seen Koguma, and he's grown so much, both mentally and physically, literally. It really made me realize that we're both completely different people now. And even though I won the fight, I feel like I lost somehow because I ended up eating the bear at the very end. Damn it. I'm never letting you play bear again. You're not a bear, you're a human. Remember that."

Utami: "Mild Wild Kawawild, SAKI, you were pretty strong. You really have incredible power. Today was one of the official matches, but I want to face you again. I won today's match and successfully earned 2 points for 5★STAR. I've stumbled and struggled in a few matches up to this point, but this summer I want to show you all the best view I can see at the end, just like that summer. The Stardom summer festival 5★STAR GP is still going on, so please stick with us until the end. A big typhoon is approaching today, so please be careful on your way home. Thank you for staying until the end today. Until the day I can see you all again, take care."
Comment from Utami
"SAKI is colorful, strong, mild, wild, and wild—that's all I knew about her, but after fighting her today, I felt a strong sense of destiny. It's just my own preconceived notion, but I thought she was someone who cared deeply for her friends, but was also frivolous and carefree. But to think she could make a face like that... If I ever get the chance to fight her again somewhere, I'd like to have another special match with her. There aretwomatches left in the 5★STAR GP, and I want to beat Nakano Tam and Koguma and show everyone the same scenery as that summer day again."
