Kamiya: "Hey Kid, you're not fully recovered yet, are you? Why don't you rest a bit more?"
Kid threw an ice pack at him.
Kamiya: "Go home quickly, little kitten."
Kid left the ring.
Kamiya: "I'm going to unleash all these messy, muddy emotions on you at Yokohama Arena on April 27th! It's you, Nakano Tam, who's retiring!"
Nakano: "Say whatever you want. You're the one who's disappearing! Go on and say your goodbyes!"
Nakano leaves the ring.
Kamiya: "With this red belt, I'm still going to wreak havoc on the pro wrestling world! Kneel, my servants. Farewell forever."
Kid: "First of all, I'm back safely. It's been about a month, I think, and I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting, but I never thought I'd be able to team up with Tam-chan like this again. But we lost last time, and I lost again today, so I'm really frustrated that we couldn't win as a tag team. Also, with Kamitani, I'm so conscious of the red belt as the Wonder Champion, so it's a bit embarrassing for me as the Wonder Champion to lose to Kamitani, and at the end I didn't really have anything to say back. But I am the Wonder Champion, so I'll show what I can do in the title defense and I'll get my revenge on Kamitani in the match. Speaking of the Shirai belt, today's match was a preview for the red belt, and everyone is charging ahead towards Yokohama Arena, but actually, I want to have singles matches with both Kamitani and Tam-chan."
Nakano: "Don't worry, you promised. I'll come back victorious, and for that to happen, you have to protect the white belt properly, as we promised the other day."
Nakano whispers to Kid.
Nakano: "Yeah, if you break your promise, I'll chop off your ears. Snip, snip, snip."
Kid: "A psychopath... a psychopath..."
Kid leaves as if running away. Nakano leaves as well, following him.
"Hey Kid, it looks like you're back, but you're not quite back to normal yet, are you? Where's the usual energy you have, Kid? Maybe it's better if you keep resting, little kitten? And now, with less than three weeks until April 27th at Yokohama Arena, I have no choice but to unleash all these messy, muddy emotions inside me on Nakano Tam! I'm going to pour all of these emotions out at April 27th at Yokohama Arena. Nakano Tam, you're the one who's retiring!"
