Well, you'd better be this strong to be a match for me, so on the 31st , I'll definitely win and break the record for most title defenses, so look forward to it."

She was hoping to continue this momentum and win consecutive matches, but her opponent was Ruika, who is known for her rough attacks. She also started with consecutive losses, replacing Tora Natsuko.

Ryuka uses the ropes to land a camel clutch and a series of shoulder tackles. "What's wrong with you?" "You were saying 'four-four' before," Ryuka taunts Manami, who has stopped moving. "Don't mess with me!" Manami replies with a dropkick in return. She then applies a modified head scissors over the ropes. She throws Manami to the outside and performs a plancha and a missile kick from the apron. "Get back up on your own!" she taunts Ryuka outside the ring. As soon as Ryuka makes a comeback, Manami goes for the cover. Ryuka kicks out, and Manami charges in with a missile kick and a corner attack. Ryuka tries to stop her, but Manami hits a Codebreaker. Ryuka punches Manami in the stomach, and Manami knocks her down with an elbow. "Is that all you've got?" "It won't work," Manami replies. After an exchange of elbows, Manami charges in, and Ryuka hits a lariat and a crossbody. When Aimi countered, Ruanka delivered a reverse splash. Ruanka was countered but announced her finishing move and climbed to the corner, whereupon Aimi responded with a deadly drive, saying, "I'm not going to lose!" Ruanka hit a lariat and a face lock. Ten minutes had passed. Aimi's feet reached the ropes. Aimi threw Ruanka into the ropes and delivered a big boot and a double wrist arm drag.

Both wrestlers were down but got up and charged at each other, with Ruanka delivering a lariat and a shoulder tackle. Ruanka announced her finishing move and delivered a neck hanging bomb. Aimi countered several cover attempts and delivered a knee attack. Just as Ruanka landed a lariat, time ran out. After the match, Aimi forcibly took Ruanka's hand and shook it. Ruika pushed Manami away and left the stage, saying, "Thank you... No way! Let's do it again!"

She envisions winning the 5★STAR GP and challenging Natsuko for the red belt, but it could be said that a yellow light is already flashing. Iida, her opponent in this tournament, also started with a loss, being defeated by Mayu Iwatani in the main event the previous day. In order to secure a victory, she may need to deliberately target Nakano's left knee.
After a lock-up, Nakano applies a headlock. Iida returns the headlock and continues to apply it, preventing Nakano from countering.

Nakano applauds as Iida is declared the winner.
Iida: "Nakano Tam, I've beaten Tam-san! Oh! Oh oh. Hahahaha. I've beaten Nakano Tam. Hey you guys, can you believe it? Iida Saya has beaten Nakano Tam, hey!"
Iida strikes a muscle pose.
Nakano: "Iida, the last time we fought was back in STARS, I think, but Tam was still there. It's been four years, but your chops really hurt! And not just the chops. Iida has really gotten strong. The ruthlessness you can be in order to win in the ring is proof of a pro wrestler's strength. Iida's three-count today wasn't because Tam's leg was bad. It was a genuine three-count earned by Iida's strength and effort! Thank you for coming without hesitation."
The two shake hands.
Iida: "Tam-san, take care of your knee! You may be worried about Tam-san's knee, but she's Nakano Tam, so she'll be fine. She's Nakano Tam. The invincible Nakano Tam. In the upcoming 5★STAR GP, she'll challenge with all her might without worrying about that leg. Because she's Nakano Tam."
Nakano: "Next time we meet, I'll make you regret it."
Nakano leaves the ring.
Iida: "Okay, Utsunomiya, tonight, main event. I won, so I'll wrap things up! But what should I wrap things up with? What should I say? I can't think of anything else. As soon as I say it, those of you who have figured it out, say it with me. Here it is. Iida spirit, explosion! Explode!"
Saya Iida's comment
"For the second official 5★STAR GP match, I had the honor of headlining once again, and it was my first singles match against Tam Nakano in four years. As always, or rather, even more so than back then, she was incredibly powerful, and actually, one of my molars is chipped right now. Those powerful slaps conveyed the passion she cultivated on the Tam Road, that passion was conveyed so strongly in just a few blows, and I think that even I, from the Tam Road, have become an enemy, a one-person opponent to face. The three-count victory over Tam Nakano is a huge win for me. I want to continue winning in 5★STAR, with this Iida spirit."
