Maika: "Mina, we're teammates! This isn't the end, okay? I'm definitely going to make E neXus V a unit where everyone goes to America and overseas, so this isn't the end and don't cry!"
Shirakawa: "To all the Stardom fans, thank you so much for supporting us this far. I'm sad too, and when I first came to Stardom I was so helpless, I got beaten to a pulp in a singles match with Himeka, and then there was that time I teamed up with Maihime as Goddess. Even then, I was the challenger but I was so helpless, and later Maika told me that she really didn't want to fight at that time. I'm truly grateful to the fans who accepted me into Stardom, the seniors who strictly guided me in the middle of this ring, and my teammates who fought with me. It's because of them that I've been able to walk this path as professional wrestler Shirakawa Mina, thank you so much! I believe that for a professional wrestler, it's all about showing the fans the path to fulfilling your dreams, so I'll continue to fulfill my dreams in America! See you again! E neXus V is here!
