Comments from Natsuko's group
Natsuko: "The evil alliance and the Oedo Tai have finally come together... For the first time today, I truly felt from the bottom of my heart that I'm so glad I'm doing pro wrestling. Dump-san has always been my idol. But I was too intimidated to tell her I admired her, but today I really... I can't find the words. What should I say? How do you feel, Ryuka?"
Ryuka: "I'm so glad I'm doing pro wrestling, because this is such a valuable opportunity."
Natsuko: "I'm so glad. We've been through so much. I've been told so many nasty things, and I've had things thrown at me. We've been through so much. I think Dump has experienced far more than we have. We're just soft compared to her. But even so, I've been doing pro wrestling, and for the first time in my heart, I truly, truly feel that I'm glad I continued. Thank you."
Dump: "It's not that I aspire to be a heel, but honestly, nobody wants to be a villain. Everyone prefers being a babyface who gets cheered on and smiles. It's more fun to be cheered on. So when I got this offer to team up with heels, villains, and gave them T-shirts, they were so happy. They were really happy when I gave them stickers too. I'm so happy to have juniors like them. I hope we can team up not just once, but many times. I want to do it more."
Natsuko: "I'd like to do it."
Dump: "I want to do it, I want to do it. But not today..."
Natsuko: "I only did it a little."
Dump: "I didn't hurt them at all. I didn't even touch the other two. I want to make them all bloody."
Natsuko: "I want to do it."
Dump: "I want to do it. Please, with this group."
Natsuko: "I want to do it just one more time."
Dump: "I've done it many times already. I want to go to the countryside too."
Natsuko: "Are you going to come?"
Dump: "I'll go. I want to do it. Thank you for today."
Natsuko & Ruika: "Thank you very much!"
Dump: "I'm looking forward to what's to come, and I'll be cheering for you two from now on. Do your best!"
Comments from Shimi-gumi
Kyoko: (To Tensaki) What's that? What did you get hit with?
Amasaki: "I don't know."
Kyoko: "Huh...?"
Shimi: "Those guys had weapons with them from the moment they entered the arena."
Kyoko: "That's not good. That's not good at all."
AZM: "What is that?"
Kyoko: "Even with that, we still have to win. It's frustrating!"
AZM: "I'm disappointed...! But thank you for teaming up with me today."
Kyoko: "No, no. It's meaningless since I couldn't win. I'm really sorry. If we meet again, I'll win."
Shimi: "I would love to work with you again next time."
Here Kyoko strikes a QQ pose
AZM: "Oh, the QQ pose! Nice to meet you!"
Kyoko: "You need to try harder! Anything is fine, just get involved more. Just get involved in anything!"
Amasaki: "Yes."
Kyoko: "It doesn't have to be a technique. Just get your hands dirty. Doing nothing is the worst thing you can do."
AZM: "I think I made a pretty good tag team with Kyoko."
Kyoko: "It came out of nowhere. They were like, 'Kyoko-san!' I had no choice but to do it."
AZM: "Thank you for holding me even though I asked you to."
Kyoko: "It was a perfect fit, wasn't it?"
AZM: "We lost, but it was fun. Let's team up again. And let's play games together again."
Kyoko: "Haha, thank you. Please tell me."

Comments from Hazuki-gumi
Kamitori: "It seems to have some substance. It definitely has substance."
--After the match, Nakano requested a singles match

--What are your thoughts on participating in Stardom for the first time?
Kandori: "The ring is the same everywhere. But it's exciting when they incorporate really new things. But I was surprised because I thought there would be more boos, but there were a lot of cheers."
Takako: "It was difficult (laughs)."
—You fought against Nakano in the past, and it was your first time participating in Stardom, right?
Takako: "I don't really remember having a match with Tam Nakano, but I think she's been through a lot since then and has climbed her way up to where she is today. Stardom wouldn't exist without the name Tam Nakano. In that sense, I think there were some people who were seeing us for the first time today. That was inspiring, and it motivated us, or rather, it fueled our fighting spirit to never give up."
Hazuki: "I lost today."
Kamitori: "I'm sorry."
Hazuki: "We don't usually team up, we never team up, and I entered this world without knowing anything about Japanese women's professional wrestling."
Kamitori: "Where have you been?"
Hazuki: "I joined WWE because I love it, so today, standing next to legends like Kandori-san and Inoue Takako-san, I think I've gained even more experience that only I could have had. I will never forget this and will aim to become the top of the women's professional wrestling world, and the top of the professional wrestling world."
—What was it like working with Hazuki?
Kandori: "I think it's good. As expected of someone aiming for WWE, I think it's really good."
Takako: "Your ability to take the initiative is amazing."
Kamitori: "I like your passive style. It makes me want to team up with you again."
—What did you think of the young idols?
Takako: "Right now, it seems like that's the mainstream, from the initial entrance to the final mic appeal. There's a huge difference in atmosphere, though. But when I actually did the match, I realized it's not just that. I thought it was well done."
Comments from Nakano Group
Natsupoi: "We beat the strongest players, Kamitori-san, Takako-san, and Hazuki-san."
Nakano: "That's the best!"
Natsupoi: "She's the strongest... As Natsupoi, I'm currently on a road to becoming the strongest, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to face someone who has built such a long history in women's professional wrestling. At the end, Takako-san did a 'poi' for me, and I was so happy. Poi!"
Anno: "Whenever I fight against a legend, I always feel really frustrated. From the moment I enter the ring. Just the cheers of 'Wow!' as soon as they enter, or just getting one move out of the ring, that frustration has always been there, but today, because the two of you were there, I didn't feel that way as much."
Nakano: "Tamumo"
Natsupoi: "We're friends now."
Nakano: "Like this, I've felt the history of women's professional wrestling firsthand today, and I really feel from the bottom of my heart that we, Stardom, have to change the history of women's professional wrestling, we have to create it. (Holding out the red belt) Shinobu Kandori! You'll have a singles match with me, right?"
Natsupoi "Baipoi"

And when that happens, I will definitely win with my own strength, and I will raise my fist while looking down on Nanae. Fight me as many times as you want!"
The Kid team has left the stage
Kid: "You'll regret this!"
Nanae: "Thanks, Kid-chan. So, Yuu, Yuu, what do you want to do? I don't really understand."
Yuu: "This match was made as a form of harassment, and no matter how you look at it, Jaguar Yokota looks more like a member of Oedo Tai! I'm going to keep saying this even if I get scolded: Jaguar Yokota looks more like she's going to join Oedo Tai than I do. And I'm not joining Oedo Tai!"
Nanae: "You're being rude to Jaguar-san! Is Jaguar-san joining the Oedo Tai?"
Jaguar: "Should I go in? Should I go in? Hey, is it okay if I go in? Once again, thank you to all the Stardom fans. I was wondering what it would be like to be a legend of legends, and Stardom is quite something. I was surprised. I can see why they're so popular. So please support women's professional wrestling. Thank you for today. Thank you."
Nakanishi: "Did you enjoy Momo's wrestling? It's not a comeback. I don't think wrestling is something you can do so easily. So, Stardom, could you please not approach me so casually? But I had a great time today. Thank you!"
Nanae: "I had so much fun teaming up with Nanamimo, and I enjoyed it so much along with the audience! Good things happen if you keep doing pro wrestling! Good things happen if you all keep watching! It has always been, is always been, and will continue forever. So everyone, please keep watching it closely! Women's pro wrestling is number one!"
Comments from Jaguar, Nanae, and Nakanishi
Jaguar: "I had always thought that Stardom's image was all about visuals, but I was surprised to see how well they actually do it. There are still people who love pro wrestling, so I could feel from fighting them that they are working hard to avoid being seen as just a group of visuals. Of course, from my perspective, there were things I had to be careful about, but it is a relatively young organization, so when I looked at it with that in mind, I saw them working hard under extra pressure."
--And you've teamed up with Nanamomo too
Jaguar: "At the time, we weren't teaming up anymore, so (Nanae Takahashi) is my student, and in that sense, it was a dream match for me. I watched thosetwowhen they were active wrestlers, and it was wonderful. It made me realize that even if you team up on the spur of the moment, you can still perform well, and that a break from wrestling doesn't matter for top-class wrestlers."
—There were times during the game when you were swinging the bat wildly
Jaguar: "That's my true self. But there are so many reliable wrestlers, so I feel a little relieved going home. As a fellow wrestler, I can look at it from various perspectives, but there aren't many women's wrestling organizations that can draw such a crowd, so I'm glad I've been given the opportunity to perform in Stardom. In that sense, it was very refreshing, and I watched it to learn what it means to be so captivating. It makes me think about how much effort they put in."
—Do you want to return to the Stardom ring?
Jaguar: "Yes, well, I'd like to take on any group that's working hard and challenge myself. Right now I'm in a position to challenge myself, so I'd like to take on the challenge."
Nanamomo comes in
Nanae & Nakanishi: "Thank you very much."
Nanae: "Oedo Squad!"
Jaguar: "They're on the enemy side this time."
Nanae: "You're my enemy. From today onwards, you're my enemy."
Jaguar left
Nanae: "Momo is amazing. She's just too strong."
Nakanishi: "Persistence pays off. People who keep at it are amazing."
Nanae: "Even if I didn't continue, it was still a source of strength."
Nakanishi: "Huh? No, I'm no good, I feel the effects of the break too much. But if I start reflecting on it, it'll seem like I'm already thinking about the next thing, and I don't like that (laughs). Nanae really helped me out today. If I was going to compete anyway, I was determined to win."
Nanae: "Of course. But, you know, how many years has it been since Momo had a proper match? She was in the Rumble match or something."
Nakanishi: " I think it's been about 18 years since my retirement match. It's been a proper match since then."
Nanae: "That's not the kind of movement you'd expect from a true genius wrestler. I feel like I was given an exciting dream, and professional wrestlers are meant to give people dreams, so whether they've quit or not, it doesn't matter once they step into the ring. I think today we saw a lot of legends, Jaguar is a legend among legends, and people from all generations gathered to see these legends, and I think we were able to convey a lot to people who don't usually watch Stardom. I said this when All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling disbanded, but I believe that if you have the All Japan Women's spirit, the fighting spirit, and the passion in your heart, you can carry on the legacy, so this might be a dream that only lasts for one day, or it might happen again (laughs)."
Nakanishi: "The training is really tough. I had so many people train with me. They kept inviting me to the dojo and the ring, asking when we'd go next, but I just couldn't find the time. I really wanted to do more, but still, with all the different wrestlers, there's a different kind of fun in pro wrestling. In the past, there was a wrestler named Nakanishi Momoe, and when that mixes with the current Takahashi Nanae, we can show this kind of pro wrestling. It expands in so many ways. I wanted to show that to the young wrestlers now."
Nanae: "Kid, you know, if you keep calling me Takahashi Nanae, you must have felt it today, in the ring, in the same ring. Steal that sense of speed and fighting spirit, properly. Don't just do Momo☆Latch, and don't just focus on the techniques, get stronger. Come at me more and more. If you do, I'll fight you again and again. I'm looking forward to it! And Yuu too... Did Jaguar-san join Oedo Tai? Then there's more to come! Pro wrestling is passion!"
Kid & Momo's comments
Kid: "I was the one who suggested it, but I lost. I guess Nanami and Momo stole the spotlight today? I was the main event, so I absolutely had to be the star, and who wants to see a tournament where a legend closes out in this ring? Ah, I'm so frustrated. Sorry, Momo."
Momo: "It's okay, it's okay, but I'm not going to forgive Jaguar Yokota. She snatched my bat and then hit me with it, and hey, Yuu hit me too, so I'm never teaming up with her again."
Kid: "It seems we're just not in sync. I got seriously beaten up, but I guess this is what All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling is all about. Is this what All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling is all about? I got to experience the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling I've always watched, and it really hurt, and I got beaten to a pulp, but it was so much fun. I'm disappointed that I lost, though. But I'm the greedy Black Tiger, so I'm insatiable, I hate to lose, I want what I want, I hate not being number one, and anything goes in SLK. So in order to get even stronger, I want to do more and more matches like this? I don't know if it's a match or not, but I want to do more and more of these for the sake of getting stronger, Nanae! Fight me as many times as it takes until I'm satisfied. We've come this far, so it's not over today."
Yuu's comment
"Jaguar Yokota is more of a representative of Oedo Tai than I am. But I want to tell my elementary school self that I was able to fight like this: Jaguar Yokota is a representative of Oedo Tai! That's the only thing I want to convey!"
