Mitsuyoshi Amasaki is making her fourth title defense of the Future of Stardom Championship, and her long-awaited title match against Hinami is finally happening. Hinami is the first to take on the challenge at this big Utsunomiya event, where all three Minami sisters from Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, will be competing for titles. The two are former Queen's Quest members and have been pushing each other to improve as they strive for the Future Championship. Amasaki defeated Hinami to earn the right to challenge Rina, and has now secured her current position. Currently, Amasaki belongs to Neo Genesis and holds two titles, the Artist of Stardom Championship and the Future Championship. With her Future Championship reign nearing its end, this could be her last title defense before graduating from the title. Hinami, who is about to graduate from high school, is making her third challenge for the Future Championship, and her first challenge against someone other than her sister, but she has declared that she will "settle things" in this match. What could that mean?
The two exchange a clean handshake and the match begins. From a hand-to-hand grapple, Hinami grabbed Amasaki's arm, and Amasaki fought back.

Hinami: "I've become the Future of Stardom Champion! For a long six and a half years, I couldn't achieve anything, but today, finally, I've put on the belt here in Utsunomiya! Mitsuyoshi, Mitsuyoshi and I were separated from our unit, and this is probably the first time I've become this close to someone since I started pro wrestling." "I was sad when our unit split up, but today I was able to have a singles match with Mitsuyoshi for the belt. I went through a lot back then, but I think it was the right decision for Mitsuyoshi to join Neo Genesis and me to join God's Eye. When I lost to Rina, I thought I should just give up, but because Mitsuyoshi was there, I was able to keep going and get this far. Mitsuyoshi, thank you so much."
Amasaki: "I've said this many times, but I was able to win this Future belt thanks to Hinami, who I've been with all this time, and although I ended up losing it, I'm really happy that I was able to have this match. Back in the Queen's Quest days, I thought I knew everything about Hinami, but Hinami in God's Eye is completely different from the person I thought of as family, and now I consider her a rival, so I look forward to working with you in the future."
The two exchange hugs.
Hinami: "Once again, I'm Hinami, and I've become the Future of Stardom Champion! It's been a really long journey to get here, and there have been many times when I've thought about quitting. But today, wearing this belt, I'm the happiest I've ever been in my 18 years of life! And I have another announcement to make. I've been accepted into university! Of course, now that I've won this belt, I'll continue wrestling. I'll be a high school girl fighter until March, but from April I'll be a blue college girl fighter, so don't miss it. Thank you!"
