The spring festival, the "Cinderella Tournament," held its second round of six matches at Korakuen Hall on the 8th, with Rina of HATE advancing to the quarterfinals
The match against Sorei Ami was chaotic from the start. She slammed Ami into the audience seats and the ring post during the brawl outside the ring, and then struck her with a folding chair
Despite being outmatched by the superior physique of the formidable opponent, Rinami endured a tough period of intense attacks until just after the 13-minute mark. Aimed at like lightning, Rinami skillfully reversed her position and immediately executed a jackknife pin, securing a come-from-behind victory and sporting a triumphant expression
"It was a close call, but we made it through. Sorei Ami was the runner-up two years ago, and I was the runner-up last year. It's incredibly cruel to reach the finals and fall just short. There are some things that only those who have experienced it can understand. Even though we were both runners-up, Sorei Ami had her own regrets, and I had my own regrets. That's why I'm determined to win this year, and I couldn't afford to lose at a place like this," she reflected
In the quarterfinals on the 11th (at Korakuen Hall), she will face Sayaka Kurei. She is the same opponent who defeated her in last year's final. Rina, who declared, "The Cinderella Tournament is full of lukewarm competitors, so I'm going to win here and set Stardom right," is burning with a desire for revenge
