Team mutual feelings comment

 

Kid: "Today... today's Team Mutual Love is a different Team Mutual Love than the ALL TOGETHER Nippon Budokan one, what do you think? We tried to match our outfits. I haven't worn this in three years."
Natsupoi: "Yellow! It suits you so well. It feels kind of nostalgic."
Kid: "Really?" "Well, this is the freedom of SLK that we can still do now, and I thought our first tag team match was at Nippon Budokan, but it seems I was wrong (laughs)."
Natsupoi: "Right, you were wrong. I wonder when it was."
Kid: "I was looking back through some photos, and I found a picture of the two of us posing together, probably around 2015, less than a year after our debut. On the ring."
Natsupoi: "You found it well, as expected."
Kid: "It's crazy, so this might be our third tag team match."
Natsupoi: "It's our third. But somehow it feels like we've been doing it more than that."
Kid: "Maybe because we've been fighting?"
Natsupoi: "Yeah."
Kid: "But Team Mutual Love, Nippon Budokan and Yokohama Budokan, isn't that amazing?"
Natsupoi: "We haven't lost."
Kid: "That's right. And today, we drew with the former tag team champions."
Natsupoi: "The current tag team champions and your current, former tag team partner, who you could call the representatives of tag teams?"
Kid: "Speak properly!" Natsupoi
The tag team champions! "They're both an amazing tag team, so it was a draw for us, right?"
Kid: "We didn't lose.
" Natsupoi: "It doesn't feel like it was just a makeshift team."
Kid: "We've really polished it up to this point. That's why I thought maybe this tag team could take a step up... but right now, the most important thing for me is to enjoy myself freely, so whether we can team up again or not might depend on my answer, sorry, but I've also received a love call from Tam-chan.
" Natsupoi: "I know. I saw it."
Kid: "This might turn into a love triangle (flails her legs)."
Natsupoi: "What's that supposed to mean!" "What's this? (imitating Kid) I think it's fine to team up with someone else. It's fine. I think you should team up with whoever you want to. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of decision Kid will make."
Kid: "Well, today's tag team match was a plus one in my answer... It was fun, to be honest."
Natsupoi: "It was fun!"
Kid: "I was disappointed that we couldn't win. I wonder if we'll be able to do it again?"
Natsupoi: "I wonder?"
Kid: "A team?"
Both: "We feel the same way! (heart emoji)"

Crazy Star comment

Suzuki: "Seriously?!" "Hey, it's a 15-minute draw."
Seira: "15 minutes is short."
Suzuki: "Yeah, it's short, but lately Starlight Kid has been having so much fun since leaving Oedo Tai, but I wonder if he actually hated Oedo Tai?"
Seira: "Oh, he himself?"
Suzuki: "Yeah."
Seira: "There might be a chance."
Suzuki: "Well, you know, but Starlight Kid is fun to fight, and when we teamed up the other day it was pretty fun too."
Seira: "Your chemistry was great."
Suzuki: "Did it?"
Seira: "It was. It felt good."
Suzuki: "Oh, really?"
Seira: "Especially the two of you."
Suzuki: "Oh, really?"
Seira: "Yeah. That's right."
Suzuki: "...So, I don't know what will happen to Starlight Kid in the future, but I'll be looking forward to seeing what happens."
Seira: "Yeah."
Suzuki: "Yeah. So, since we didn't win today..."
Seira: "Yakiniku?" "Want to go for yakiniku?"
Suzuki: "Really?"
Seira: "Let's go for yakiniku!"
Suzuki: "Really? Aren't we banned from eating yakiniku?"
Seira: "It's allowed, it's allowed."
Suzuki: "Seriously? But we didn't win today!?"

Maika & HANAKO's comments

Maika: "HANAKO said she wanted to fight me today, and that's how this match was arranged. Lately, ever since you debuted, you've been really obsessed with winning and losing. Victory might be justice, and the person who wants to win might be justice, but what did you do when you lost?" Losing, when you lose, you absorb something more valuable than victory, and that's how you become stronger. You're just flailing around in frustration after losing. There are people who reach out to help you, but those people are just being naive, really. And you don't need to think anymore that you want to be like me. You are you. You have talents that only you possess. And you need to have more and more confidence in yourself. Unless you firmly grasp something that gives you confidence, you'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over. I think you've started to show your emotions a little bit, but it's still not enough. How many times today did I tell you to give it more? No other opponent tells you to give it more this much. That's how big your body is, but you haven't been able to do anything at all, you haven't expressed anything with your body. If you're frustrated, then use your body in the ring to express the justice within you, and show everyone, and us, that it is justice."
HANAKO: "Yes."
Maika: "How was it today?"
HANAKO: "After fighting you, I realized that you are a very high wall, Maika. I've always wanted to surpass you and stand at the top of Stardom, but as I am now, I'm nowhere near your level. Just wanting to be like you and admiring you won't get me there, so I've decided to make my own ideal self more concrete and clear, and work hard under your guidance.
" Maika: "Are you serious?"
HANAKO: "Sorry."
Maika: "Are you serious? You just heard what I said, didn't you? Now that you've said it, you have to do it. Right? You need a lot more training. And along with that, E neXus Now that Shirakawa from V is doing well in America and spreading his wings to the world, I think it's about time we also went beyond our imagination and went to the world. I'm sure the world would be a great experience for you too. Right? So, we want to continue taking you, our fans, and even the wrestlers to a world beyond your imagination, so don't miss it."

Oedo Team Comments

Natsuko: "Today's the Artists' Tournament to decide the next challenger, right? I mean, it's not very exciting, if the three guys who hold the E neXus V belts were here, it would be one thing, but today they just randomly gathered three people from the unit who were available, and we always do it with these three, right? We won all our matches with these three during Golden Week. What about the others? I didn't feel anything, or rather, it's the same no matter how many times we do it, and on the contrary, I don't want to say this, but I'm honestly more excited about the Artists' Tournament against E neXus V. It's a shame, really. What do you two think?"
Momo: "That's all so true. There are only weaklings. That's all."
Thekla: "E neXus V, Gina, Maika, Mina, too bad for you."

Fighting today, I felt like you could build a different road to defense than previous champions, if it's you, Kamiya. I'll challenge you again on that road to defense. I'll stand in front of you again and show you a different Iida Saya, a High Speed ​​Gorilla. Phoenix was fast, but Iida was pretty good too, wasn't she? Let me challenge you again next time."

Comment from Saya Kamitani

"Yes, did everyone see? High Speed ​​Phoenix was fast, elegant, and passionate. But that kind of match was only possible because my opponent was Iida Saya. There's no doubt about that. You want this High Speed ​​belt even more now, don't you! Well, our potential is limitless, so we can do anything and become anything. I'll stand in your way wherever you go, so let's have another heated battle like today's. And I'll continue to color the High Speed ​​belt with my own colors, and I'll lead Queen's Quest firmly, so please keep watching us. Watch the magnificent spectacle of High Speed ​​Phoenix."

Fujimoto: "I know, Iwatani Mayu is capable of so much more. I know. By all means, that belt? Which belt?" "It's not happening today, but I'd love to have an IWGP title match. However, there's one condition. The next time we face each other, come to our ring."
Iwatani: "Of course, anytime, anywhere, any ring is fine as long as I can fight you anywhere. I'll leave the rest to the company. Also, Nakajima Arisa! I think you've broken a rib, it's definitely hurt because of your foot stomp. You should postpone your retirement." Nakajima:
"I'm not postponing my retirement, I'll wait another three months. It doesn't even have to be you. For today, we've won overwhelmingly, so we'll wait three months. The ring isn't just Stardom and Ice Ribbon, there's also SEAdLINNNG, so keep that in mind!"

Best Friends Comments

Fujimoto: "As expected of someone called a zombie, I realized that no matter how much I did it, it wouldn't break. So I just wanted to keep going, and in the end I beat it to a pulp."
Nakajima: "I think this will probably be my last time in Stardom, but it felt a little unsatisfying. I wondered if it was okay for them to end it like this. I'm fine with it, though."
Fujimoto: "It's been a long time since I've been involved. There were times when we just didn't click at all, and there were also times when I realized they're professional wrestlers after all. I enjoyed it in many ways. I also thought that Hanan is a tough one. I think this will be the last time for Hanan, so I guess I'd say, 'Good luck from now on.'"
Nakajima: "She's the scariest, but I'd say, 'Good luck from now on' (laughs)."
Fujimoto: "Hahaha. IWGP, I never thought I'd be challenged, since my return is only temporary. I thought I'd take whatever I'm offered. But you didn't have the belt today, did you?"
Nakajima: "That's right. That's not the point, in the end."
Fujimoto: "If you had the belt, it would be easier to see that you're challenging."
Nakajima: "I think that's where you can see the qualities of a champion."
--You said you wanted to experience what Stardom is like now?
Fujimoto: "In that sense, I'm convinced that Hanan is here, and she's been doing great, having had singles matches with Anno and all. But, I think today's match is everything."
--You set the condition that the IWGP stage be in our ring?
Fujimoto: "Yes. It's not fair that we have to step into Stardom's ring every time. If they really want to do it, then they should come to our ring next time. I want to ask them if they have the guts to step into our ring."

Eye contact comments

Iwatani: "Ah...! Complete defeat...! It's been a while... you were strong, best friends."
Hanan: "
I'm sorry." Iwatani: "No, no, no! Today, I realized that they've been tag partners for so long, and they've made so much history and walked this path together for so long. I couldn't defeat them so easily."
Hanan: "But... I don't want this to be the end. They're retiring, so there's a high possibility that there won't be a next time. But I wanted to improve my tag team skills with Mayu, and I was really not strong enough. I'm truly sorry."
Iwatani: "No, that's not it. Today, on the contrary, Hanan pulled me along. Those guys, no, those people are too dangerous. They're scary...!" "We've found a team that we need to overcome through this eye contact. The current icons of Stardom, the icons of the future, these two still have a long way to go. We've found another wall to climb. From now on, we will create the future of tag team wrestling. We will definitely get our revenge. Don't retire until then, Nakajima Arisa."
Hanan: "I will definitely pass this on to the next. I will pass it on to the next, and the next, everything. I will make this all a stage for the future. Let's continue to make eye contact."
Iwatani: "Yes, please!"
Hanan: "Thank you very much."

Willow Nightingale's comments

"To be precise, this isn't my Stardom debut. This is my second appearance. But this is my first time competing in Stardom in Japan. It's also my first time competing at Yokohama Budokan. And it's my first time facing Tam Nakano. It was an explosive fight! I've grown to love you. I punched your cute face. And here I am, the AEW TBS Championship belt. I came to Japan to show what this belt is all about. You should be grateful you got to fight me. I certainly worked up a sweat. But I won. So Tam, this isn't the end, is it? Well, this industry is crazy so nobody really knows the truth. But what I do know is that I was stronger today."

Comment from Tam Nakano

"Do I have bangs? Do I look cute? My colored contact lenses fell out, and I only had one left, so I can't see anything? Do I look cute? Am I ugly? Ah, Willow Nightingale was cute and strong! The world is amazing. But, even though I lost today, that's why, I guess, that belt looked even more appealing. I thought I would become champion and fight in America on the 26th, so I'll defend it properly against (Mercedes) Monnet on the 26th, and Willow, let me challenge you again. I'm really frustrated, but surprisingly I'm not depressed. Not depressed at all. I've never been depressed! I've been through a lot of hell, so I'll keep crawling back up. This is definitely the start of Tamu's road, and there are still things I need to do. Thank you."

Annou lands a series of spinning kicks, a thrust kick, and then takes Sorei's back for a Japanese Ocean Suplex. Sorei is unable to escape, and Annou gets the three count.
Annou: "Sorei, you're a little too strong. You should keep going without reading the room. You're so strong, and you even beat Natsumi and appeared before me, so just keep going. That's good." Sorei:
"I'll do that even without you telling me! Next time, I'll make things even more messy, so much so that you won't be able to speak into the mic. So you'd better keep defending that belt!"
Sorei leaves the ring.
Annou: "Natsumi."
Natsupoi stands on the apron.
Annou: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Can you wait a little longer? Don't you think now isn't the right time, Natsumi?"
Annou holds out her hand, and the two make a pinky promise. Natsupoi leaves the ring.
Anno: "Thank you to everyone who came to the venue today and everyone watching on PPV. Let me say this again and again: I am the Wonder of Stardom Champion, Stardom's Anno Saori!"

Ami Sorei's comment

"I couldn't win the white belt for the second time either. Saori Anno, next time I'm going to mess you up even more. Keep defending that white belt!"

Saori Anno's comment

"Magnificent...cool, it's simple but good, isn't it? I simply like cool things. So let's both become even cooler. When that time comes, let's go head-to-head again. My first main event in a singles match. No, if it wasn't a title match, I would have been here with Natsumi (pointing to her wrist) wearing this. I would have been with Natsumi, putting this belt on the line... Natsumi also thinks now isn't the time, and we both understand that. So I guess it's about time I started making my move with this belt too. Well then... I was Anno Saori."
