Natsuko: "There might be some people in Stardom who don't want to see this, but I've been searching and searching for an opponent to do this with for a long, long time! Maika, how do you feel right now? I've lost to you so many times up until now, and of course it was really frustrating!! I'm absolutely not going to lose to you in this match!"
"Stardom is very clean, and it might be that they only favor people who are good-looking, cute, and whose merchandise sells well, and the audience is like today's... a real fight to the death between me and Maika. To be honest, I thought it would be okay to die in the middle of the match. That's how much I wanted to crush her. There might be some people who don't want to see a match like this, where I'm fighting with that kind of feeling, but I don't care if those people don't come to see it. If you're someone who thinks that only you believe in real pro wrestling, then go see that. As long as I'm in this organization, I'll keep doing matches like this. I'll continue to protect the heel culture. That's all!"
"(Collapses) Natsuko, I didn't really hear what you said, but you were looking for someone who could hurt you this much? I don't consider myself your rival. It's not over yet...more..."
