"Hashimoto Chihiro, you're really strong. I've fought against strong opponents in various Stardom events up until now, but you're the opponent I've always wanted to fight! Ah! Damn, I'm frustrated! But this isn't the end of it. Ah! Like Hashimoto Chihiro said, maybe I've been a little too kind. Maybe I've become too greedy. I need to take a moment to look at myself again... Maybe I should take a break for a bit."
"Can I be honest? In truth, I can feel the huge difference in strength, and I think Maika can do even more. She attacked my arms, but I still had the energy left in me to do that German suplex and powerbomb at the end. I'd like to face more talented Stardom wrestlers. No, this is my honest opinion. I have to say what I think, and I told Maika exactly at the end. I think Maika was probably the one who wasn't fully satisfied. But I fought here at Yokohama Arena for the first time in two years and got my revenge, and the scenery and people have changed completely since then, so something has changed and I'm able to have a title match outside like this as the champion of Senjo, which is why I'm able to do this. I want to liven up women's professional wrestling more and more like this, and so that Chihiro Hashimoto can stand in the middle and run through the center, and so that Senjo can run through, and not lose to Stardom."
