On December 29th at Ryogoku, Shuri and Konami had a grudge match. However, the match ended inconclusively due to interference from HATE. Appearing at that match and scattering H.A.T.E. was former GLEAT member Maya Fukuda, now known as Kiyoka Toraryu. Toraryu volunteered to team up with Shuri and joined God's Eye. This would be her first match in Stardom. Toraryu formed a trio with Shuri and Tomoka Inaba and first faced H.A.T.E.'s Momo Watanabe, Azusa Inaba, and Fukigen Desu★. They wanted to make an impact, but...
Toraryu attacked Azusa with strikes, but Azusa grabbed her hair and took her down, stomping on her face and shouting, "Don't mess with me!" Azusa then choked Toraryu and prepared for a body slam. Toraryu countered, but Azusa delivered a body slam. Momo then took down Shuri, who was waiting on the sidelines, and delivered a hair whip to Toraryu. When Tora-ryu strikes, Momo shouts, "That won't do me any good!" and knocks him down with an elbow. Tora-ryu follows up with a series of kicks and a neckbreaker. Shuri hits Momo with a dropkick and a front neck chancery. Shuri and Momo exchange middle kicks. Momo scratches Shuri's face and low kicks are exchanged. Shuri hits a German suplex, and Momo retaliates with a middle kick. Fukigen tries to do a corner attack on Shuri, but Shuri keeps getting his leg out of his way, making him even angrier. He tries to throw the referee, but is thrown back and hits Fukigen with a Codebreaker. Tora-ryu enters the ring but falls victim to HATE's corner attack. Fukigen hits Tora-ryu with a senton. He warns of a brainbuster but is rolled up instead. Shuri interferes and performs a brainbuster with Tomoka. Fukigen dodges Tora-ryu's kick and rolls him up. Tora-ryu follows up with a combination of kicks and applies an Achilles lock. Fukigen tapped out, and Toraryu won.
