With her chances of winning the championship hanging by a thread, she will be looking to take the lead against the Future Champion.

Saya Iida <4 points> |
Natsupoi and Iida Saya will face each other for the second time in a 5★STAR GP official match. While both are unlikely to reach the finals, they'll be looking to upset some big names in their remaining matches. In particular, the key point in this matchup will be whether Iida can defeat the Goddess of Stardom champion, Natsupoi. Having pinned her mentor, Hazuki, it's certainly not impossible for Iida. On the other hand, Natsupoi, having won the belt in her new home, will want to maintain her momentum. She'll be hoping to finish the league with a winning record…

So I've been dropped from the 5★STAR championship race, but the last match will be a Kozuen showdown against Mina-chan (Shirakawa Mina), and I'm thinking every day about how to take to heart the passionate feelings that Mina-chan expressed.October1st, and that something will move forward.October1st.

AZM <14 points> |
AZM and Koguma have been scheduled for a high-speed rivalry match in the 5★STAR GP official tournament. Both have been competing for the high-speed belt, but the current champion is AZM. Moreover, he is doing well in the 5★STAR GP, accumulating the most points in the Red Stars so far. With his goal of becoming the youngest champion within his reach, how will he face Koguma? Koguma currently has a 5-5 record. It seems unlikely that he will reach the finals, but he will surely be determined not to lose to AZM. In this high-speed rivalry showdown, will AZM pull away, or will Koguma hold him back?
When Koguma offered a handshake, AZM accepted, and the match began. AZM immediately went for a head scissors, but Koguma quickly escaped.

Risa Sera <13 points> |
Saki Kashima of Oedo Tai and Risa Sera of Prominence will face off in a 5★STAR GP official match. For Sera, who has a chance to advance to the finals, this is a match where she definitely wants to score two points, but she cannot afford to be complacent as Kashima is capable of beating anyone. It is expected that she will feign fair play but resort to dirty tactics in this match as well. At the same time, she will also need to be extremely careful of any last-ditch comeback attempts. Whether Sera will engage in hardcore fighting will also be a key point. This is the most unpredictable match of the tournament

On the other hand, Shirakawa's chances of winning the tournament have disappeared, but she has long desired to win the white belt, and a match against the current champion is a golden opportunity to make a Wonder of Stardom Championship match a reality. It is certainly difficult with her current record, but if she can defeat the champion directly, it will come into view. This may be the most important match of the league for Shirakawa. And in that sense, it is the match that Kamitani must not underestimate

Shirakawa's comment
"I defeated Saya Kamitani, the champion of the white belt! There are so many times in life when things are tough and you feel like giving up, but even so, I believe in myself. I believed today that I could beat Saya Kamitani. Believing is hope for me. I also believe that I will become the champion of the white belt. That is my hope right now. I can live because I have that hope. A little more light has been lit in that hope! I will definitely light it all up and become the champion of the white belt!"

11 minutes 21 seconds |
Julia <13 points> |
Giulia and Momo Watanabe will face off in a grudge match in the 5★STAR GP official tournament. Last year, Giulia was forced to retire midway through the tournament and dropped out of contention for the championship, but this year she has kept her losses to just two so far and has a strong chance of reaching the finals. Her opponent today is Momo, last year's runner-up, but she has already suffered six losses and it's safe to say that her chances of winning the championship are gone. For that reason, she will likely enter the ring with the goal of hindering Giulia. Not only will Giulia suffer a loss, but she must also watch out for injuries from weapon attacks. Can Giulia overcome Momo's aggression and move forward towards her first championship? This match also serves as a preview for the hardcore tag team match (Giulia & Rina Yamashitavs.Momo & Ruanka) that will take place two days later at Takadanobaba "Showcase".
After a tense exchange of probing moves, Giulia roars at Momo and heads off the corner. They exchange blows on the corner post, with Giulia gaining the upper hand.

Iwatani has11points with 5 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, while Hazuki, after a remarkable seven-match winning streak, has suffered three consecutive losses and14points. She will be looking to bounce back here at all costs. Iwatani, aiming to become the first STARDOM wrestler to win the championship twice, also desperately needs to secure at least two points. This is their first singles match in three years, so past records are not a reliable indicator. This is a crucial match where the loser will be significantly set back.

Tam Nakano <14 points> |
God's Eye's Shuri and COSMIC ANGELS' Tam Nakano face off in a leader vs. leader showdown. Red belt champion Shuri has surprisingly struggled so far, with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Perhaps this is because the top singles champion is facing tough competition. On the other hand, Nakano is at the top of the Red Stars with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. Having had almost no luck in the 5★STAR GP championship race in the past, it's safe to say that this year has been smooth sailing for her. During the series, she formed a new tag team with Natsupoi and became the Goddess of Stardom champion. To achieve the remarkable feat of winning both the tag team belts and her first singles league championship, defeating Shuri is essential. A loss for Shuri would mean certain elimination, so this is a match she absolutely cannot afford to lose. If Nakano loses, the competition among the Red Stars will become even more chaotic. This is a rematch two months after Shuri's successful defense of the red belt. What will the outcome be?
The match starts with a ground battle, with Shuri applying a headlock. Nakano tries to counter, but Shuri reverses and takes mount. Shuri breaks the hold and both charge forward. They grapple for the back, block each other's kicks, and exchange high kicks. Shuri takes mount on the ground and taunts Nakano, "Come on." Nakano reverses and delivers an elbow from above, then a knee attack from behind, sending her to the outside. Nakano does a plancha from the corner, then returns to the ring and attempts a German suplex hold. Shuri kicks out, and Nakano heads to the corner. Shuri catches up, and they exchange elbows on the corner. Shuri locks Nakano's arm, but Nakano breaks free and kicks her in the head. Shuri delivers a slap from below, a headbutt on the corner, and a modified avalanche brainbuster with Nakano's arm, maintaining the lock after landing. She transitions into an armbar, but Nakano escapes. Shuri delivers a knee attack, climbs to the corner, and attempts a standing guillotine, then an armbar, and finally an armbar. Nakano attempts a spinning kick, but Shuri counters with a double kick and knocks her down. Shuri picks Nakano up and lifts her onto her shoulders. Nakano tries to turn around and attempt a knee attack, but Shuri dodges it and hits her with a knee attack of her own. When Nakano retaliates, Shuri delivers a soccer ball kick.

They move to the ground and Nakano grabs Shuri's arm. When Shuri escapes, Nakano takes her to the apron and takes her back. Shuri resists, but Nakano kicks her in the back and charges down the apron.

Both fighters charged at each other and dodged, after which Nakano landed a thrust kick and a Violet Shooting from the front and back. She also landed one from the side, but Shuri countered. Nakano then landed a Violet Screw Driver with a long hang time. It seemed the match was over, but Shuri managed to turn it out. Nakano pulled Shuri up and went for the Twilight Dream. Shuri countered and kicked her arm, then applied a sleeper hold. She transitioned into a body lock and tightened the hold, but Nakano reached the ropes. One minute remaining. Shuri went for an armbar and then an armlock. She then combined it with a head scissors to tighten the hold. With 10 seconds left, the bell rang and Shuri was declared the winner.
Shuri: "Nakano Tamuu! It's been a while since the red belt title match, which means it's been since July. I've been in this corner of the room ever since that day. Your passion is incredible!"
Dominate me more and more. You're capable of so much more. Push me even further. I'm looking forward to our next match."
Nakano tumbles off the ring
Shuri: "I won the 5★STAR GP against Tam Nakano! I won last year, and I'll do my best to win again this year and become a two-time champion! Also, it looks like we're running out of time to pack up, so I'll wrap things up quickly. Thank you all for coming today despite your busy schedules. Please continue to support Stardom. And tomorrow, we'll be waiting for you at Takadanobaba, so see you then. Thank you everyone for your salamapo!"
Comment from Juri
"It hasn't been that long since our title match in July, but Tam has really inspired me. I want to go head-to-head with her more and more. For the 5★STAR GP, I'm right on the edge, just barely making it to the finals, so it depends on how the other wrestlers go, but if there's even a slight chance, I will never give up. I will achieve a second consecutive victory in the 5★STAR GP, something no one has ever accomplished. Next up is Sera Risa. I will face her head-on and I will win. Be prepared, Sera Risa."
