Encouraged by her two seniors, Sakura declared, "I just can't give up on the idea of ​​the Artist Belt with these three. I've even thought up a catchphrase for when we win!" and then proceeded to unveil it

"Our carnival never ends. It's carnival!"

Natsupoi and Mizumori agreed, saying, "That's great!"

The three participated in the 3-Way Trio Battle to determine the next challenger for the Artist Championship at the 5/23 Aichi tournament, but were defeated by Sorei, Hinan, and Lady. The God's Eye Trio emerged victorious from this battle and immediately succeeded in capturing the championship

Sakura passionately pleaded, "I definitely want to do it (the catchphrase), so I want the three of us to do it together," to which the three responded in unison, "It's carnival!"
