Kamitani followed with a double kick and a cover, but she deliberately only got a two count. She then hit a Star Crusher, and Natsupoi got the three count.
Kamitani: "Hey, you want to fight (for the red belt), don't you? I'll do it. Exactly one year ago, in Hokkaido (Sapporo), where Saya-sama was born. No matter how many times we do it, the result will be the same as today. I'll show you the overwhelming difference between you and Saya-sama."
Natsupoi: "Hokkaido? In that place where you all ran away from reality, I will definitely take this belt, the symbol of Stardom, from you bastards who couldn't live an honest life!"
Kamitani attacked, and the two teams began a brawl.
Kamitani: "HATE will take all the belts and continue to bring the greatest nightmare in Kochi Prefecture's history. Servants, kneel down and say goodbye forever."
"I've decided to defend my title against Natsupoi on July 21st in Hokkaido (Sapporo). How are you feeling? Of course I'm excited! I mean, everyone's crazy about Saya-sama. If you don't want that, Natsupoi, try and stop Saya-sama with your own power. I'll make you understand the reality of the difference between us in Hokkaido."
Natsupoi: "Kamitani, I have no idea what you want to do. Aren't you confused? You've lost sight of yourself. In the world of professional wrestling and in the world of showbiz, there are waves. I think riding that wave, and luck, is also a form of skill. Kamitani is riding that wave right now. That's amazing. But if she herself was wavering, she wouldn't last. It would be tough. I'm not scared of anything, even if there's no public push, even if people point fingers at me and say I can't do it. I have a strong core that makes me who I am, so I'm not scared of anything! I'll definitely take that red belt, the symbol of stardom, back from the place you ran away from. Bring it on."
