On the other hand, a victory against the accomplished Shirakawa will be a huge confidence booster and result for Ryuka as well

It's a bit of a lonely sight today, but we will continue to fight so that we can have a full house. Stardom will definitely become huge. You'll come again, right? Well, it's cold so don't catch a cold, Arrivederci, see you later!"
Comment from DDM
Giulia: "This long Kansai tour continues, and we have shows in Osaka the day after tomorrow, and then Kobe, but today was a bit of a lonely sight. It's frustrating... It's a little frustrating. But I'm sure we'll all grow so much that we'll be able to laugh about today someday, Stardom. Thank you so much to everyone who came today. That's all."
Maika: " On December 29th at Ryogoku Kokugikan, I felt a little down, but I'm looking forward, and I think I can show you an even bigger view, and I'll show you an even more amazing view at the end of the year, Suzuki Suzu. Those articles in Tokyo Sports and Weekly Pro Wrestling are just a small part of it. You're not even the face of Stardom, let alone the face of pro wrestling, and someone who doesn't have the resolve to carry Stardom on their shoulders can't become the face of the pro wrestling world or anything else..."
Suzuki comes in
Suzuki: "Hey, hey, hey, if you keep quiet, everyone in the waiting room can hear you!"
Maika and Suzuki get into a brawl, grabbing each other's hair

Julia: "Arrivederci, see you later."
