Sera Risa〇 |
| 1 win, 3 losses = 2 points | 2 wins, 2 losses = 4 points | |
Risa Sera and Saki Kashima are tied at 1 win and 2 losses in their official league matches. Both had their first wins in the previous tournament at Korakuen Hall on August 15th, with Sera facing Suzu Suzuki in a current vs. former Prominence showdown and Kashima winning in a lightning-fast finish, but both managed to stop their losing streaks. Who will win this match and even their record?
Kashima hides a board behind her. As the match begins, she makes an announcement on the board, and when Sera approaches, Kashima runs away. Kashima's voice can be heard from backstage saying, "I'm sorry!" While the wrestler is out, Yagami, her second, makes the announcement on the board. Sera puts Kashima in a headlock and pulls her back, saying, "You want to make an announcement, right? I'll watch. I won't lay a hand on you, just make the announcement properly." Kashima begins her announcement in the center of the ring. Sera warns her that her voice is too quiet, and Kashima tries again. After she finishes her announcement, she hits her with the board. Sera lifts her up and slams her forward after an airplane spin. When Kashima retaliated, she used the board to escape to the ropes. However, this was not allowed, and Sera pulled her back to the center and performed a 10-rotation giant swing with the board. Kashima couldn't take it anymore and made some distance outside the ring. Kashima went into escape mode. Yagami pulled her leg and brought her back. Sera said "Welcome back" and applied a reverse Boston crab and a Campana to shake her up. When Kashima refused to give up, Sera slammed her onto the mat, stomped on her back, and delivered a double knee drop. Kashima cried "Ugh." The referee asked Kashima whether she would vomit or give up. Kashima somehow managed to get up, and Sera delivered a corner elbow attack. Kashima shouted "Don't mess with me!" and attempted a hurricanrana, but couldn't follow up. Sera, who had been down, got up, and Kashima delivered a series of kicks. Sera took them and stood up, taunting her. Sera landed elbows on both sides, and Kashima retaliated, causing both to fall to the ground. Kashima got up and delivered a series of elbows, which Sera blocked and countered with a Schwein. Kashima retaliated, and Sera delivered a double knee drop. Kashima kicked out, and Sera followed up with a running double knee attack. Kashima kicked out, and Sera went for a Rasha Scissors, and Kashima tried to turn the tide, but Sera countered and the referee counted to three.

Anno: "Hey Mitsuyoshi, do you remember? It was exactly one year ago, on August 18th, that we had our first singles match in an extra match of Mitsuyoshi's five-match series. What's changed about your appearance since then? Aren't you a bit too much of a gal? I was a little surprised. I'm from Shiga, but half of my blood is from Kyoto. So I like Kyoto too. But I think Shiga and Kyoto have to fight each other from now on, don't you think?"
Amasaki: "I do. I'm going to prove in this ring that Kyoto is superior, so let's do it again in Kyoto. When that happens, everyone here, no, all the people of Kyoto Prefecture, and also the people of Shiga Prefecture, please come and watch."
Anno: "Yeah, we have to do it again. Let's do it as many times as it takes, Mitsuyoshi, thank you for today." Amasaki
leaves the ring.
Anno: "Thank you to everyone who came to the venue today, and to everyone watching the live stream. Time flies, and the 5★STAR GP is already halfway through. It's hard to predict who will win, but I will win, I will be the champion. I'll deliver that! This was Anno Saori, from Shiga Prefecture."
Saori Anno's comment
"I've been coming to Kyoto a lot since I was little. My grandmother lives there, and I used to come to Kyoto often for ballet and dance, so it feels like my second hometown. It's been a while since Mitsuyoshi competed, but the 5★STAR GP is a different experience from before. There are only two matches left in the 5★STAR GP. Next up is Gina. I don't really understand Gina. I don't really understand her, but she grins every time she looks at me. What's up with Gina? How are you? I'm fine. Are you ready? I'm ready."
