In the end, Shinkiraku gave up to the Northern Cross. After the match, Nakano instructed Shinkiraku to take the microphone.
Mizumori: "Can't you speak? Can you speak?"
Shinkiraku: "... Tam. Tam. I stood in front of Tam the other day (at the Takataichi show), and I stood in front of Tam today, and I didn't feel any of those nostalgic feelings from back then. I fought today, and in the end I lost directly to Tam, and it was the kind of loss I least wanted to end with, but still, I didn't feel any nostalgia or anything like that towards Tam. But! I still want to have a singles match with the simply strong female pro wrestler Nakano Tam. I lost today, I lost, but I can still do it. I'm not moving from here until I have a singles match with Tam!"
Shinkiraku sat down in the center of the ring.
Mizumori: "Now, now, now, the result of today's rigorous tropical judging is... failure! If you want to have a singles match with Nakano Tam, you need to bring out more gritty emotions, more and more. Tam is performing in NEW BLOOD today, with Ryogoku (12/29) and Ariake (1/3) coming up. Do you understand how amazing that is? You can bring out more gritty emotions. Not just with the words you just spoke. Let it all out. Are you satisfied with just having a fierce and fun match? To be honest, this story of Shinkigaku Misa hasn't even become a topic of conversation."
Shinkigaku attacks Mizumori, and a brawl ensues.
Nakano: "Misa! Yunamon. Tam has the pride of being the top of Stardom. She has put her whole life on the line to come up in this ring."
Nakano slaps Shinkigaku.
Nakano: "Do you really have the resolve to stand in front of Nakano Tam?"
Kamikiraku stands up and slaps Nakano. Kamikiraku
: "You, as the top of the biggest women's pro wrestling organization, you should know better than anyone what kind of resolve the people who step into the ring have, right?"
Nakano: "I'm telling you to show me. If you come here with half-hearted feelings, I'll crush you."
Kamikiraku: "Come on and crush me! I'm not stepping into this ring with half-hearted feelings and getting slapped by you. I'm putting my life on the line, everything on the line, when I step into the ring. I'm prepared."
Nakano: "I get it. Then, on January 10th at Shinjuku FACE, JTO, I'll have a singles match with you in your ring. Make sure you entertain me."
As Nakano and Kamikiraku glare at each other, Mizumori charges in and starts arguing with Yanagawa.

It's frustrating, but you beat me. Up until now, I've been at the forefront of making it exciting, but from now on, it's up to you guys to make this tournament even bigger, you... idiots!!"
Azusa: "The first belt Azusa ever won was the NEW BLOOD (tag team) belt that she won with Rinami. And she also joined H.A.T.E. at this NEW BLOOD tournament, so that belt holds a lot of meaning for Azusa. That's why it's so frustrating that I lost today, but when I fight you guys again, I'm going to crush you, so you better be prepared. You old hags!"
HANAKO: "This is our first time with this belt too. You guys have made this belt even more valuable. So we'll grow even more with this belt and make it the best belt that all the young wrestlers want! It looks like Future will be in the main event. So, NEW BLOOD, this NEW BLOOD is the face of NEW BLOOD! We, Rice or Bread, will liven up NEW BLOOD even more, so please support us!"
