Mizumori: "Himiko, it's been a while. But this is the first time we've met since your debut. I lost today, but I'm not satisfied with this at all. What did you, a 52-year-old, come to NEW BLOOD to do today?"
Himiko: "Whether I'm 52 or young, I'm in my third year of my career, so I'm still young blood, do you understand? I came to NEW BLOOD to show everyone the Himiko of Diana. I'm looking forward to it."
Mizumori: "Okay. Tropical judging, singles, anything."
Nanami: "Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt when things were going so well, but Nanami won today. I don't know what's going on between the two of you, but if either I or Himiko had won today, there's something I'd like to say. Tsukiyama Wakana, HANAKO, NEW 、 笑） English: You have the BLOOD tag team belts, right? Can Himiko and I challenge you for them?
HANAKO: "Nanami, thank you for declaring your challenge."
Tsukiyama: "Thanks, Himiko."
HANAKO: "But Sakura! Why are you losing? Don't you want to challenge for the NEW BLOOD tag team titles? I want you to challenge me. But you can't challenge for the NEW BLOOD tag team belts with just three people. You fickle and indecisive Sakura, decide whether you're going to team up with Yunamon or Kurei before you challenge. You idiot! Everyone who wants to challenge for the NEW BLOOD tag team titles, come on up!"
Wrestlers rush into the ring one after another.
Rian: "We want to challenge for that belt too."
Yoneyama: "Oh!"
Akira: "NEW BLOOD Tag Team Champions, NEW BLOOD, no matter how you look at it, the ones who deserve the name NEW BLOOD are Akira and Yuuna, who are just debuting and only had their third match today! Please let us challenge for that belt too. Please!"
Makoto: "We want to aim for that belt too."
Koto: "Please let us do it!!"
Tsukiyama: "At the next NEW BLOOD Shibuya on 3/1, let's have a NEW BLOOD Tag Team match against Himiko and Nanami.
" Nanami: "Please."
Tsukiyama: "And then, and then, after that, uh, 1, 2, 3, 4? Anyway, let's have a match against someone! Alright! Huh? "Who are you teaming up with, Yagami?"
Yagami: "Oh, I do have someone. I do. I'm not telling Tsukiyama. I'm definitely not telling Shiriyama, so keep that in mind. Anyway, Nanami won today, so let's have her wrap things up. Everyone who had a match today, come up here."
The wrestlers enter the ring.
Nanami: "Believe in your youth and shine tomorrow, NEW BLOOD 81!"
Nanami: "At Stardom NEW BLOOD, I got the three-count in the main event against Sakura Aya. Next month, on March 1st at NEW BLOOD Shibuya, I'll be teaming up with Himiko to challenge for the NEW BLOOD championship belts. Himiko has challenged for the Diana Elizabeth title quite frequently, and given her age, she's had the chance to fight against a lot of veterans, so I hope she can make use of that experience, and in March we'll be able to properly claim the tag team belts. I was really torn between Ranna and Himiko until the very last minute, but it seems Ranna has a tag team too, so I hope she'll challenge after me and do her best."
Yagami: "Yes, I'm aiming for the NEW BLOOD tag team title, of course, but also the Future title, and I still haven't had enough of fighting against Kurei, who debuted on the same day as me, so I'll continue to liven up not only the main Stardom events but also NEW BLOOD, so please continue to support NEW Come and see BLOOD."
Sakura: "I've always said that I want to become the ace of the young wrestlers, and I think that the ace of the young wrestlers equals the face of NEW BLOOD. I was given a great opportunity to be in the main event of NEW BLOOD, but I couldn't get the results I wanted today, and to make matters worse, a wrestler from another promotion closed out the main event of NEW BLOOD, which was very, very humiliating. I will take a good look at what I'm lacking right now and I will go for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship as well."
Kurei: "There's nothing more frustrating than being closed out by a wrestler from another promotion, and Ranna said that she absolutely couldn't lose, and Ranna debuted on the same day as me, so I have some special feelings about her, and even though we're in different units and in different places, I want to work together with her to liven up NEW BLOOD, Stardom, and pro wrestling, so I'm really frustrated today, but I will continue to work together with Ranna, and with Sakura and Yunamon, and with everyone at NEW BLOOD "We want to liven up BLOOD and Stardom,"
Mizumori said. "Hey, Himiko, is this the first time we've met, or has it been a while? It's amazing that we're meeting here in the Stardom ring. You're 52 years old, but you're so greedy and aiming for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship, that's really interesting! I don't want to lose. Me, Kurei, Sakura, we all want the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship... (to Sakura) So, what do you want to do?"
Sakura leaves the ring.
Mizumori: "OK. Think about it carefully."
