Lady: "That's great! I want to say that I can do my best for Ranna if I'm with her, but not just for Ranna, I want the NEW BLOOD Tag Team belts for myself too. Let's win the belts together."
Kurei: "Today, I absolutely don't want to lose, I can't lose. Losing to Ranna was really frustrating! ...It's frustrating, but for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship, Sakura and I will be competing in separate tag team leagues, but we will definitely grow there and win the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship."
Sakura: "In the tag league, we'll each team up with our seniors, grow a lot, and then the two of us will challenge for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship again. I know you guys are saying you'll challenge too, but we're the ones who will be holding the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship."

Rina: "NEW BLOOD Tag Team, Azusa and I have successfully defended our title for the first time! It's been a little while since we won the belts and before our first title defense, but as tag team champions, I will continue to liven up NEW BLOOD. And HANAKO and Tsukiyama, after fighting you today, well, I kind of knew it, but I could really feel how annoyingly competitive you two are. But, if you ask me, I didn't want you to take these belts so easily just because you went to America once and got some results, so if you want to fight again, we'll accept a title defense anytime."
Azusa: "Hey, you old hag! Hey, I think you guys have gotten stronger since the last time we fought, but we're still going to defend our title. No matter how many times you challenge us, the result will be the same, so be prepared."
HANAKO: "We lost today, but we'll go after that NEW BLOOD tag team again soon! Next time, I'm definitely going to get a three-pointer off Rina. Don't you dare drop it!"
Tsukiyama: "We're not the type to give up easily. ...You better hold onto that belt until Rice or Bread gets it, you little brat!"
Rinami: "I'll always protect you, you old hag!"
Lady C and Ranna Yagami make an appearance
Yagami: "Rinami, Azusa. We are the next challengers for that belt. Please let us challenge for that belt."
Rinami: "...What's the audience's reaction? Yagami is so serious and not funny, but I do acknowledge your wrestling sense and kicks a little. Lady C, are you motivated?"
Lady: "Of course, not for Yagami's sake, but for my own sake, I'm going to take that belt from you, Rinami. I have no regrets about losing the Future belt, but ever since I lost to you in that Future title, I've lost the courage to challenge for any other belts. But Yagami has said that he wants to challenge me for that belt this time. I want to reciprocate that feeling, and by taking it from you, I'll be at the forefront of NEW BLOOD, no, I'll be at the top of NEW BLOOD, and I'll liven things up for you."
Azusa: "You guys keep going on and on about Rinami, Rinami, Rinami, Rinami. The tag team champions are Rinami-sama and Azusa-sama. There's no way we're going to lose to you idiots."
Lady: "Who was it that lost last time?"
Azusa: "Don't get cocky just because you won once, baldy!"
Lady: "I'm not bald, hey! I'm still in my twenties!"
Azusa: "She's a damn old hag."
Lady: "I'm looking forward to it."
Rinami: "Get out of the way! Well, I won today, so I'll wrap things up. Everyone who appeared in NEW BLOOD today, get up in the ring! It looks like there's a YouTube live stream today, but you guys watching on YouTube, instead of writing stupid comments, you idiots, come see NEW BLOOD live at the venue! All the old men and women who came to watch today are customers with good taste. Hey you guys, I'll take the lead and make NEW BLOOD exciting, so you guys should come see us again, got it? OK. Today is NEW BLOOD 16... we've been going for quite a while. Believe in your youth and shine tomorrow, NEW BLOOD Sixteen!"
Comments from Rinami and Tomoka Inaba
Rina: "We successfully defended the NEW BLOOD Tag Team belts for the first time. However, I feel like we can do so much more, and HANAKO and Tsukiyama can do so much more too. We're not just this good yet. I knew that HANAKO went to America, got stronger, and got results, but I also couldn't afford to lose this NEW BLOOD Tag Team belt defense after losing the Future Championship. We'll do it again, again, even soon. Anytime, anytime."
Azusa: "I won the NEW BLOOD (Tag Team) title for the first time, and for the first time, I successfully defended it. I'm happy that I won, but I still have a lot more to do, and I intend to continue defending it. And Lady and Yagami who challenged me? Yagami is my contemporary, so I can't lose to her. And Lady, it seems like Lady did something about Future last time, but Rina Rina Rina Rina Rina Rina Rina Rina, it really pissed me off. I'm seriously going to kill her!"
Comments from Tsukiyama Waka & HANAKO
Tsukiyama: "We couldn't win the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship. But we said we'd challenge again, and Rina and Azusa said they'd accept anytime. We're getting closer to the belts, right? It's going to be okay. We'll practice more and more, improve our tag team skills even more, gain more experience, and challenge again. And we'll definitely win it."
HANAKO: "I lost today, but I will definitely challenge again and take that NEW BLOOD (tag team) from Rina."
Tsukiyama: "I'm sorry to everyone who supported me. But please wait for me! I'll definitely get it, okay?"
HANAKO: "Yes"
Tsukiyama: "Wait for me!"
