A singles match between Mitsuyoshi Amasaki and Mai Sakurai. Sakurai faced Lady C in the previous day's tournament. She won by rolling her up with her My Pan Roll, and after the match, she declared herself "unaffiliated" on the Lady's mic. Currently, Giulia is in the US to defend her STRONG Women's Championship, so it is all the more important for Sakurai to emphasize her independence. What kind of fight will she put on Amasaki this time? This is also a great opportunity for Amasaki

Amasaki kicks out and they exchange elbows. Amasaki dodges the elbows and lands a series of DDTs. Sakurai kicks out, and Amasaki shouts "I'm gonna finish you!" and goes for Tensho.

Sakurai followed up with a scissors kick and then a modified prawn hold, the Escargot. Tenzaki tapped out, giving Sakurai the victory
Sakurai: "To all the common people who have come to the Osaka tournament, I hope you're all well today as well, just like yesterday! The name of today's final move is Escargot. Supernova, you should be grateful that I'm using it on you for the first time! ...Where's Amasaki? Well then, everyone, please continue to cheer us on with enthusiasm. See you later!"
