Julia: "I don't know anything about that. Oh, oh... It's all because of AZM. I don't really want to say yes right now."

Julia: "Is that all the reason? I don't accept it."
Sorei: "...It's true that I didn't get good results in 5★STAR this time, I lost the Goddess belt and the Future belt, so I have nothing left right now. But I think I have to change now. So I want to use this STRONG as the catalyst for that change."
