Shuri: "Ranna, you've gotten so strong! It's been a while since our last singles match, since your debut. I was really happy to be able to face you today at this time. But Ranna still has a long way to go, so I want you to keep growing, and I have high expectations for you. I'm looking forward to the WAVE league matches and 5★STAR. As of today, I will be taking a break from Stardom. Believe it or not, I've been a pro wrestler for 17 years now. I never thought I'd be doing this long, and I really love pro wrestling. And today, I'm really happy to be in Stardom, and to have Ranna and each and every one of my God's Eye teammates here with me, and I'm really happy to have all of you supporting me like this! I was really frustrated when I lost the IWGP (Women's) title, and I really wondered what I was doing, but I'm going to get stronger during this break, fix my weaknesses, make a big comeback, and come back as a Super Saiyan, so please continue to support me! Thank you very much!"
"Today I'll be taking a short break from Stardom, but I was able to have a singles match with Ranna today. It was my first time seeing her since her debut, and she's grown so much. Of course, I still have a long way to go to reach the top in Stardom, but I was really happy, and I'm looking forward to the league matches in WAVE and the 5★STAR GP. I'm so grateful to have the members of God's Eye, to have my teammates. Now in my 17th year, I'm blessed with great teammates, and I'm so happy to be a part of such a big organization as Stardom, where so many people can watch my matches. I've had matches with just a few people before, so I really feel fortunate to be in my current environment. I'm taking a break, but I'll do something to surprise you all soon. I have a bit of an injury, so of course I'll get it treated and be in perfect condition to reclaim the IWGP. That's what I'm thinking about, it's all in my mind. So I'll make a full recovery, become a Super Saiyan, and return to this ring, so I hope you'll all support me then."
"It's been a year and a half since my debut match against Shuri, and this was our first singles match together. I thought I had gotten incredibly strong in the past year and a half, but Shuri was seriously strong. Knowing that she'll be taking a break and coming back even stronger, I felt that I want to practice everything I've learned from her more than ever before, and become even stronger here in Stardom. I'll lead God's Eye and Stardom so that Shuri can relax and rest in peace, so please support us."
