Koguma asks, "Who wants to do a bear pose?" and asks for someone to pose with him. Seira steps back and Amasaki starts. When Koguma approaches, Amasaki also does a bear pose, and Hanan, who is on the bench, joins in. Koguma says "Thank you" to Amasaki and asks Hanan to tag in, but Amasaki attacks.

Yuna Mizumori |
| ○Maika | Nakano Tam | |
Natsupoi will be absent from this tournament as she will be having a singles match against Chihiro Hashimoto at the Sendai Girls' Korakuen Hall event. Cosmic Angels will be competing with Tam Nakano and trainee Yuna Mizumori. Their opponents will be Maika and Suzu Suzuki. For both of them, who often team up with the theme of generational change, a direct confrontation with Nakano is a battle aligned with their respective goals. In the previous generational battle at Korakuen Hall, Maika was defeated, and Suzuki showed her anger. It became clear that generational battles are ultimately individual battles, and the new generation is not necessarily a unified force, so it will be interesting to see how things go with just the two of them as a tag team. Maika and Suzuki's performance will be something to watch. In addition, trainee Mizumori will likely be expected to fight in a way that protects Maika and Suzuki, who will surely be keenly aware of their upcoming match against Nakano
Mizumori brought a weighing scale into the ring. When she was introduced, she stepped onto the scale and ring announcer Ando announced "63.8kg," calling out the unsinkable battleship from Kumamoto. Mizumori extended her hand to the opposing team and said, "Hokkaido Tropical, please!" Maika and Suzuki did not shake hands. Nevertheless, Mizumori was the first to face Maika. After a test of strength in a lock-up, Maika broke free but Nakano interfered and Kozuen hit her with a dropkick from both sides, and Mizumori delivered a "63.8kg" press. Mizumori and Maika clashed shoulders, and Mizumori's elbow sent Maika tumbling. However, Maika retaliated with a shoulder tackle. For some reason, Suzuki brought out a portrait of Mizumori and delivered a dropkick from under the ring. Suzuki hit Mizumori with a soccer ball kick and a corner knee attack. Suzuki attempted a side slam on Mizumori but accidentally hit Maika as well. Nakano hit Suzuki with a corner elbow and a heel drop. When Suzuki retaliates, she blocks Nakano's high kick. Suzuki takes Nakano's elbow and stands up. Suzuki retaliates with a counter elbow. Nakano also counters with an elbow. Suzuki dodges the Destiny Hammer. Suzuki tags in Maika as if to slap her. Maika hits Nakano with a series of lariats and a shoulder tackle. Nakano resists Maika's attempt at a brainbuster, rolls her up, and hits her with a dropkick and a cartwheel double knee drop. When Maika kicks out, Mizumori hits her with a diving shoulder tackle. Mizumori hits Maika with a dropkick and gets ready for a Campana. Suzuki cuts in with a big boot and gets behind Mizumori, allowing Maika to hit a lariat. However, the timing is off. Nakano and Mizumori hit a combined press. When Suzuki kicks out, Mizumori hits a shoulder throw and a sliding lariat. Mizumori climbs to the corner, but Suzuki cuts in with a high kick, allowing Maika to hit a brainbuster. Maika delivered a powerslam to Mizumori. She declared it was the finish and went for the Enka Otoshi. Mizumori countered, and Nakano hit a high kick and a German suplex, and Mizumori followed up with a Supergirl. With everyone down, Mizumori and Maika exchanged lariats. Mizumori won the exchange, but Maika landed a series of lariats in return. She then knocked Mizumori down with a Sazanka and went for the Michinokura. Mizumori couldn't escape, and Maika won.

You guys have been saying all sorts of things about her, but you can't do anything on your own. There's no way you can talk back to them. There's no point in Queen's Quest fighting without Utami. Bring her back before our next fight!"

For the past few days, I have gone out of my way to stand in line to eat Genghis Khan, a food that is loved by the common people! So tonight, we are going to enjoy the finest king crab. You common people should go to Aomori and catch some freshwater crabs in the river and eat those!"
Julia: "Freshwater crabs, huh? They're incredibly tasty when fried. The Hokkaido tour ends tomorrow, but after that we're heading to Aomori, so maybe we'll go to a river and fry some freshwater crabs and eat them. With the common people. See you there!"
Sakurai: "What should I do? Help me..."
Julia: "So, look what's all this blood on me! Kashima, remember this! So, tomorrow is Sapporo, the last day in Hokkaido, but I'm sure I'll be coming back to this venue, so I hope you'll come again. Arrivederci, see you later!"
Comments from Julia's group
Julia: "What the hell is this mess? Kashima Saki, is this your fault? You've been messing around with me, so next time you'd better be prepared. What the hell?"
Tekura: "It's really hot, isn't it? I thought Hokkaido was supposed to be cooler. By the way, we need an artist to take on the challenge. How about Saki Kashima or God's Eye? What do you think?"
Julia: "So that means there are challengers waiting who are even hotter than the heat of Hokkaido, the Baribari Bombers. Right, Sakurai?"
Sakurai: "We look forward to seeing you."
Julia: "Okay, so today we'll have king crab."
