HATE's Ryuka is making a strong appeal for the midsummer single league tournament "5★STAR GP 2026" (opening on July 18th in Ota Ward)
At "STARDOM in FUJI 2026 Jul." held at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka on July 11th (Saturday), HATE's Saya Kamitani, Ryuka, and Azusa Inaba faced STARS' Hanan, Saya Iida, and Matoi Hamabe. After brutalizing Hanan outside the ring, Ryuka continued her rampage back in the ring, delivering a corner attack to Hamabe followed by a sliding lariat
Using HATE's coordinated black tactics to divide the enemy forces, they unleashed a neck-hanging bomb, seemingly mocking the crowd's "Matoi" chants, and secured the three-count victory over Hamabe
Taking the microphone for a change, Ruanka proudly declared, "We won! Yay! HATE is stronger and cooler than STARS, they have better teamwork, they're strong, they're really strong!"
In her fourth appearance at 5★STAR in three consecutive years, Ryuka is entered in BLUE STARS-A. She will be in a different block from Azusa in RED STARS-B and Kamiya in BLUE STARS-B. Ahead of the individual competition, she called out to Kamiya and Azusa, "Let's do our best in 5★STAR!"
