High-speed champion Yuna Mizumori secured a hard-fought victory. On August 1st (Saturday), she faced Kian Furusawa in a Blue Stars B official match at the "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" single league tournament held at Sendai PIT in Miyagi
He unleashed a barrage of attacks on Furusawa's left leg, then mercilessly kicked him in the face. He was caught in Furusawa's ankle lock for a long time and was in trouble, but he refused to tap out. At the crucial moment, he executed Kumamoto's Unsinkable Battleship and secured the three-count
Mizumori started the tournament with two consecutive losses, being defeated by last year's champion Watanabe Momo and Sorei Ami, but she finally secured her first league victory and said, "Kian, I kicked your cute face a lot, are you okay? But you had a really great look on your face after I kicked you. Yeah. It really stirred my soul. I think your fast joint locks are your weapon, but I think that fierce expression of yours is also a great weapon. Let's have a third singles match. I'm even willing to put this on the line," as she slapped the High Speed belt
Mizumori, who hails from Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture, was devastated by the recent earthquake and felt compelled to help. After discussing the matter with her company, she decided to participate in fundraising activities for disaster relief starting with the Sendai tournament that day
"I was so proud that so many people shared their feelings for Kumamoto with me, and I will put all of these feelings into pro wrestling and bring energy to Kumamoto. This is just the beginning, but I hope you will continue to support me," she promised
In addition, in Blue Stars B, Wonder Champion Hanan faced Starlight Kid. Hanan's right leg was relentlessly targeted, and he was forced into a tough fight, enduring a standing moonsault, dragon screw, and stretch muffler
He blocked the Black Tiger Divine Punishment and landed a defiant blockbuster, but couldn't get the hold. He was heavily damaged and writhed in pain, clutching his right leg
Nevertheless, he forcefully applied a rock drop hold, and finally, with a wrist-clutch style back rope hold, he managed to snatch a hard-fought three-count victory
With this victory, Hanan remained undefeated for three straight wins and backstage she said, "I'm so happy that I was able to have a match against Kid with this belt. To be honest, I wanted to go when Kid had the Wonder Championship, but I wasn't quite ready at that time. But now I'm the champion and I'm full of confidence. If Kid can get the red (World Championship) soon, I want to have a two-title match! I definitely want to put this belt on the line against Kid! So Kid, you better give it your all. I'll give it my all too."
Meanwhile, Kid, who now has one draw and one loss, responded, "Hana said that if I win the red belt, we'll have a two-title match. Of course! I'd like to take that opportunity too. That's why I have to win the tournament all the more, and I have to go for the red belt all the more. I lost today, but that means Hana wants me to win the tournament, right? When that happens, I'll stand in front of Hana again. I'll protect the white belt and wait for you," vowing to make a comeback from here on out
