Tam kicked out, and Nakano went for a Tiger Suplex. Tam countered and rolled her up. Nakano's Violet Shooting connected. She landed another one from the front, but it was only a two count. Nakano then hit a Tiger Suplex for the three count.
Nakano: "Hey, Nakano Tam. Have you ever experienced Nakano Tam's pain? I'm the real Nakano Tam. Hey, fake. You really like Tam that much, don't you?"
Tam: "Nakano Tam won, and Nakano Tam lost."
Nakano: "Do you really want to insist that you're Nakano Tam? Well, then you'll have to come back when you're stronger! If you insist so much that you're Nakano Tam, then next time I'll fight you alongside you as the Nakano Tam sisters."
Nakano extends his hand, and Tam shakes it. Nakano then raises Tam's hand
Nakano: "Well, since there are two Natsumis, I guess it's fine."
Natsupoi: "Poi. Poi. (The other Natsupoi is) a pineapple fairy."
Nakano: "(The pineapple fairy) seems kind of big, doesn't it? Oh well. Everyone, please get in the ring."
Rinami: "It wouldn't be fun if that old hag closed it, so I, Rinami, the future champion, will close it. Believe in your youth and shine tomorrow, NEW BLOOD!"
Nakano's comment
"I think it's really amazing how far you've come, imitating the look and techniques. I'm truly impressed. But as long as you admire someone and keep chasing after them, you'll never become the real thing. You'll only ever be second or third best in the universe. You have good potential, so instead of just imitating Tam, why don't you try to perfect yourself so that someone will want to imitate you? If you still want to perfect your imitation of Tam, well, Tam's getting pretty busy, so maybe I should ask a body double. Let's do that."
Tamu's comment
Tamu: (Tears) I'm so frustrated... So many people came to see Nakano Tamu... It was so much fun... I'm Nakano Tamu, but I couldn't do anything, and I'm really frustrated, but if the other Nakano Tamu wants to be sisters, then I guess I'll be happy to. I want to be a stronger Nakano Tamu, following in the footsteps of my older sister... But it was really fun. Thank you very much
Natsupoi (the pineapple fairy) comes in
Natsupoi (Pineapple Fairy): "Tamu-chan. Tamu-chan. Look up, Tamu-chan. You look the ugliest in the universe after the match, but you were shining so brightly and looked so cool. It's okay, if you gave it your all until the very end, it will definitely lead to something next. Until then, everyone, please look forward to us and Nakano Tamu, bye-poi!"
Tamu: "If the fairies say so..."
