Comments from Julia and Sakura
Julia: "How's it going to be a first-year pro wrestler?"

Julia: "Can you hear my voice? Is everything okay?"
Sakura: "It hurt so much, I actually started crying."
Julia: (laughs) Well, but, well, this is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. The audition was originally for a movie, right? I came in without ever thinking about doing pro wrestling, and now that we've actually done it, I don't know how much Sakura-chan will do pro wrestling, but this is just the beginning, so I'll do my best to come to love pro wrestling
Sakura: "Yes, I'll do my best."
Julia: "Well, see you later, thank you. I'll leave it to her, because I have really high hopes for her. But from what I've heard, she reminds me of someone... she likes idols. So I don't think we'll ever team up. Bye-bye."
Sakura: "Please wait for me."
Julia: "Huh?"
Sakura: "I've shaved my head before."
Julia: "Why?"
Sakura: "In a role"
Julia: "In a role?"
Sakura: "Yes, through a role. So I think I have a connection with Julia-san."
Julia: "What does that mean? You want to join DDM?"
cherry blossoms"…"
Julia: "Which one?"
cherry blossoms"…"
Julia: "What?! Don't you want to join?!"
cherry blossoms"…"
Julia: "Well, I am an idol."
Sakura: "I'll try them all out..."
Julia: "Just as a trial?! That's amazing! There was no such thing as a trial back in my day. Well, I think it's fine, it's good to try out different people, you're still young. Date different people and eventually you'll find a good guy. That's how it is, right? So, try out different people, have a little taste, and good luck. Bye-bye. Arrivederci."

Lady: "Honestly, I was really annoyed that HANAKO was taking away the title of the tallest active female wrestler in Japan, but after fighting alongside her, I really felt that she is indeed the tallest active female wrestler in Japan. In her debut match, she took down Himeka with a tackle and slammed Maika with a brainstrap, so I think she has a lot of power. Let's have many more matches from now on and get stronger together. Thank you."
HANAKO: "Thank you very much. I look forward to working with you."
Maihime comes in
Himeka: "HANAKO, there's something I want to say. You used the Argentine move today, right? If it's okay with you, JP Coaster, how about using the move I took from you today, after I retire?"
HANAKO: "Is that okay? I'd like to use it."
Himeka: "Being big is a truly wonderful thing, so always look up. Lady C, embrace the greatness of being big and take pride in it, and continue to liven up Stardom as a big wrestler."
Lady & Hanako: "Yes!"
Himeka: "Thank you."
Comments from Maika and Himeka
Himeka: "Mai Hime, this was your first time facing NEW BLOOD, and your first opponent in your debut match as a Stardom homegrown talent. How was it?"
Maika: "This is my first time in NEW BLOOD, and it's also my first time being the opponent in a debut match. There are many things I compare to when I made my debut, and HANAKO is a very tall wrestler at 181cm , and Himeka probably has very high expectations for her, and I've also watched HANAKO's training. However, in today's match, there were still many areas where the results of her training were not apparent, and to be strict, I would give her about 21 points. But that 21 points is based on the fact that she has a lot of room to grow , so I really want HANAKO to be more proud of herself, grow bigger, and fight in the future without disappointing our expectations."
Himeka: "It would be great if I joined DDM."
Maika: "Hmm, I wonder?"
Himeka: "I wonder. But, if I leave, a big position will open up, right? Wouldn't that be good?"
Maika: "Because, HANAKO"
Himeka: "Is it too early?"
Maika: "But I did say at the press conference that if we win, we should keep that in mind."
Himeka: "So, if things move in a positive direction, DDM will be happy too. That's the feeling."
Maika: "Well, you know. If it's HANAKO, then you're welcome."
Himeka: "I don't need ladies."
Maika: "I don't need ladies. Goodbye."

Comment from Juri
"The third match of the five-match series against Amasaki, Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, has been around for about a year since her debut, and I've been watching her live since her debut match, so I was really happy to be able to feel her growth firsthand today. Amasaki debuted under a lot of scrutiny, so I think she must have gone through a lot of worries and frustrations. I think she overcame them to get to where she is now, and when she was fighting Takahashi Nanae, Amasaki said that she would become the top of Stardom in a year. I thought she said something interesting. But it's impossible if you stay the way you are now, Amasaki. Try to overturn this idea that it's impossible, that people think it's impossible. Since you said it, try to reach the top in a year. I'm expecting great things from you, Amasaki."
Amasaki's comment
"In the third match of the five-match series against Shuri, I think I was able to give it my all, from my time as a trainee until now. Being able to compete against Shuri will be a great asset for me going forward, and I will use this experience to work hard and reach the top of Stardom."

But this is the current state of NEW BLOOD. Are the guys in NEW BLOOD okay with this? What is the purpose of NEW BLOOD? I'd like to see someone challenge us to shatter our complacency, and already, HANAKO, who debuted today, and the losing tag team, Lady C, have challenged us, but I think that's a challenge that can only be made in NEW BLOOD, and it's a match that can only be shown here. If anything, NEW Those guys in BLOOD, even Nanae Takahashi, can come and challenge us with a partner. Well, I'll think about the next title defense, but since we've won the belts, I thought I'd announce our tag team name. Our tag team is a tag team exclusive to NEW BLOOD, so we've borrowed the name from NEW BLOOD a little and are called Bloody Fate. With this belt as our blood-soaked destiny tag team, we intend to dominate NEW BLOOD even more, so please support Bloody Fate, the first ever NEW BLOOD Tag Team Champions. SLK has received his second inaugural title."

KAIRI |
| Nakano Tam | Nanae Takahashi ● | |
Waka Tsukiyama had a deadline to meet, having been told by Tam Nakano that she would be kicked out of Cosmic Angels if she didn't win. On this day, Tsukiyama had to achieve her first victory on her own, not just a team victory, or face not only expulsion from Cosmic Angels but also expulsion from Stardom. Moreover, her opponent was Nanae Takahashi, and Nanae's chosen partner was KAIRI, an incredibly powerful lineup. Tsukiyama had originally hoped to face Nanae in this match, having sparred with her in a Passion Injection Match, but a match against Nanae and KAIRI at the last minute seemed reckless.

Tsukiyama: "...I'm so glad to be alive. It's been 2 years and 7 months since my debut , and I've never won a match, and I've been called a failure and all sorts of things, but today ... Nanae-san, KAIRI-san, and Tam-san, I will never forget today when I was able to have a match. Thank you so much ... Thank you so much!"
Nanae: "Tsukiyama, don't mess around! You beat me, so don't cry! Laugh, try to laugh! (To Tsukiyama, who is desperately trying to laugh) What's with that face?"
Tsukiyama: "He's smiling!"
Nanae: "Smile! Hey, smile! Smile and carry the future of women's pro wrestling on your shoulders. I'm impressed by your straightforwardness. From today, we're rivals."
Nanami Ri has left the stage
Tsukiyama: "Tamu-san... can I... stay with COSMIC ANGELS?"
Nakano gave a silent hug
Nakano: "Thank you so much for joining Kozuen. Since you won, Tsukiyama will be the one to close out this tournament!"
Tsukiyama: "Tam-san, how should I wrap this up? (Nakano whispers) Okay. Since I won, let me say one thing. Here I go. I am the true NEW BLOOD!"
Comments from Nakano and Tsukiyama
Nakano: "Tsukiyama, congratulations... You've achieved it (tears)."
Tsukiyama: "The reason I've been able to come this far is because of all of you who have supported me. And because I have irreplaceable friends (tears). I think there are many happy people in the world, but I feel that there is no one who is as blessed with people as I am today, and I will never forget today. Thank you so, so, so, so much... Tam-san, I don't have to quit Kozuen or Stardom, right...?"
Nakano: "It was because Tsukiyama was there... Tsukiyama is a child who truly has the talent to be loved by amazing people, so I hope you will believe in your own strength and overcome many difficulties and forge your own destiny from now on. Thank you. Congratulations!"
Tsukiyama: "Thank you."
Natsupoi: "Congratulations"
Shirakawa: "Congratulations"
Kozuen and the members of Colors applauded

Nakano: "Let's do it, I want to! Tsukiyama, you do it. I can't speak English."

Comments from Nanae and KAIRI
Nanae: "What should I say..."
KAIRI: "Well... How was it, Nanae-san? What did you think of today's match?"
Nanae: "Well, hmm. What do you think, on the other hand? Takahashi Nanae's passion hasn't died, right?... Someone say something! My passion isn't dead. It's not dead, but if it's true that Tsukiyama took a three from me today, then this is on a cosmic scale, after all. It's on a cosmic scale. The biggest meteorite on a cosmic scale fell today. Yokohama Budokan. So, Cosmic Angels. Cosmic. It sounds like I said something clever, doesn't it? I was completely talked into it at the end, damn it! So my passion hasn't been defeated, and my spirit hasn't been broken. I'm still going to keep fighting Tsukiyama. It seems the story has just begun. But Nanami's story isn't over either."
KAIRI: "In pro wrestling, I believe that it's not over when you lose, but when you quit. A loss is the start. Pro wrestling always begins with a loss. Tsukiyama has been feeling frustrated for two years and seven months, and I felt that he had been holding onto those feelings and poured them out with his whole body today. I also lost the IWGP belt, and I really came into today's match determined to win, but the result is the result, so I will accept it and I think I will only get stronger from here on out."
Nanae: "It feels kind of nostalgic. Nanami is always like that."
KAIRI: "That's right. Always. There were times when I really wanted to leave pro wrestling, but it was Nanae-san, Nanami-san, who saved me from that, and I still feel that way to this day. So from here on, we will become even stronger."
Nanae: "I will become stronger."
KAIRI: "She's bottomless, isn't she? Nanami is limitless, so please look forward to that. But it's frustrating. It's really frustrating."
Nanae: "But let's get back up again! Nanami Passion!"
KAIRI: "Thank you very much."
