Their opponents are Shuri, MIRAI, and Kashima Saki's God's Eye. Maika and Megan will face Shuri and Kashima on consecutive days. The previous day in Takasaki they clashed in a 3-way tag match, with Megan overwhelming them with her power. Will that be repeated, or will Kashima pull off a miraculous comeback? In addition, MIRAI and Sakurai, who are teaming up in the tag league, will face off against each other as partners only in the league tournament
"I'll go!" Sakurai volunteered, and Kashima, uncharacteristically, volunteered, "Then I'll go." Sakurai then called Kashima a commoner and put her in a figure-four neck lock in the corner. Kashima broke the rules too, kicking Sakurai and taunting her, "You commoner!" and "You're just making counterfeit money!" Kashima also taunted Megan in the corner, and then dashed over to tag in Shuri. Shuri put Sakurai in an armbar. Sakurai escaped, and MIRAI attacked her. Maika interjected, "You're tag team partners, aren't you?", to which MIRAI apologized before attacking.

As MIRAI was still in the Paradise Lock position, Maika told her, "Say you need help." MIRAI cried out for help and escaped the Paradise Lock, and Shuri, who was entrusted with the task, delivered a dropkick, a face crusher, and an armlock. Maika then delivered a powerslam to Shuri. Outside the ring, MIRAI was humiliated by Sakurai's Paradise Lock. Shuri applied a front neck lock to Maika. Maika forcefully delivered a brainbuster. Shuri then delivered a DDT. Kashima, who was entrusted with the task, delivered a hurricanrana to Maika. Taking advantage of the momentum, Maika tagged in Megan. Kashima tried to escape, but there was no one in the corner. Megan picked her up and slammed her forward. As she was about to cover with one leg, Shuri came to the rescue. Megan stopped Kashima's hurricanrana and went for a powerbomb. Shuri and MIRAI successfully broke it up. Megan lifted MIRAI and Maika slammed Shuri onto the mat, then Megan threw Kashima out of the ring. Megan dropped a dropkick on Kashima as she returned, but Kashima's shoulder rose. Kashima tried to turn the tables, but Megan lifted her up. Kashima dodged a hip drop and rolled her up for a pin. Megan immediately kicked out, lifted her up, and hit an F5. Kashima couldn't kick out and the referee counted to three
Sakurai: "Hello to all the common people who have come to the Ibaraki (Ushiku) tournament! Despite the significant delay in the start of the matches today, you have all come. No, you are super super super common people. Today, I will give you a special round of applause. Thank you. And Maika and Megan, we will be facing you, the strongest tag team, in the next tag league. I will turn you into chairs with my Paradise Lock."
Maika and Megan confronted them
Sakurai: "Well then, excuse me!"
Sakurai left the ring and ran away
Owner Kitani and President Harada apologize for the delay in the start time
November5 Ushiku event was changed from the scheduled 1:00 PM3:30, and following the announcement made the day before, Bushiroad Fight owner Takaaki Kidani and president Katsuhiko Harada apologized to the audience. Owner Kidani and President Harada did not enter the ring, but gave their greetings from ringside next to the main table.
Katsuhiko Harada, President of Bushiroad: "This is Harada from Bushiroad. We sincerely apologize for the significant delay in opening the venue and starting the matches today. The cause was a miscommunication with the venue and a mistake on our part. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to our customers and all the fans who support Stardom. We will work to create an organization with a robust checking system to prevent this from happening again, so we ask for your understanding. Thank you."
Owner Takaaki Kitani: "To everyone who came today, I sincerely apologize for being two and a half hours late. Two and a half hours800hours of everyone's time combined. That much time may not have been wasted, but it was lost. We must take this very seriously. The Bushiroad Group does more than just pro wrestling; we also do card game tournaments, live performances, stage shows, and500, maybe even1000and overseas. And we have never been two and a half hours late before. We might be30minutes or an hour late once every two or three years due to equipment problems or other circumstances, but that's basically never happening. I hate it when the start time is delayed the most!" The reason is that the excitement before the event starts, the anticipation of it beginning, can be really disappointing if it's delayed by even 5 or10minutes. An event isn't just about what happens when it starts. Getting here, getting to the venue, is part of the event, and even if the event itself lasts two or three hours, it's still an event until you get home afterward. That feeling of excitement, that fun, that determination to work hard again tomorrow, that feeling of wanting to do my best so as not to be outdone by the athletes—that feeling disappears! It's due to sloppy management. Today is symbolic, so I've been trying not to speak out against the presidents of our group companies. Of course, most of our group companies that are doing things properly are like that too. However, it's true that professional wrestling is indeed very difficult to manage. There are actually difficult aspects that I can't even tell all of you here. That's why there aren't many big companies in the world, and we haven't become a big company in Japan. It's certainly difficult. But if we become complacent because it's difficult, we'll never reach this level. I'm really angry. I'm crying inside. I'm so ashamed. I should be greeting you from the ring, but I'm too ashamed to do so in front of all of you, and also ashamed in front of the wrestlers who are giving their all and risking their lives, so I just can't get in the ring! I promise that this will never happen again, so please don't abandon us and continue to support us, thank you! Please! Please! I will definitely make Stardom the number one organization in the world! Thank you! I apologize for getting a little sentimental, but I hope you all enjoy yourselves from here on out. I hope you can relieve the fatigue of your daily work and return home with renewed energy for tomorrow. Thank you very much. That concludes my greeting. Thank you.

Momo: "I wonder why. Well, that's none of our business. You saw it again today, didn't you? We Extra Large are just too strong. Right? (Suzuki) won the 5★STAR tournament, (Seira) got the High Speed belt, and look what happens. Hahaha. What's going on with this tag league? It's so boring. Two matches left. Those Prominence girls are such a dull, boring bunch."

Comments from Natsuko and Momo
Momo: "This is what happens when we're in their hands, any tag team. But still, that guy (Seira)'s dropkick hurt my eye, my eye, it hurts so much, and I've thought this ever since Halloween, but I'm never going to forgive him. I'm going to kill him one day, seriously."
Natsuko: "Well, maybe that dropkick is his strong point, and he might have won the High Speed title and the 5★STAR GP, but honestly, I think each of them has their own strength. But tag team isn't that easy. The two of them need to work together. They could never have a match like today's. They're still just rising up on momentum, so there's no way they can beat us."
