Saree appeals for the IWGP Women's belt. As the bell rings, Yagami delivers a dropkick, takes the mount, and flips back to normal. Both wrestlers fall to the bottom of the ring and exchange blows. Saree punches from the mount and body slams her onto the mat outside the ring. When she returns to the ring, Saree taunts, "What's wrong, kid? You started it first, didn't you?" Yagami stands up and unleashes a barrage of middle kicks. Saree knocks her away with an elbow. Yagami delivers a soccer ball kick, and Saree retaliates with a soccer ball kick. Yagami delivers another soccer ball kick, followed by a barrage of punches and a penalty kick. Saree retaliates with a dropkick. Saree lifts Yagami up and body slams her. When Yagami retaliates, Saree applies a leg lock. Saree grabs Yagami by the hair and applies a camel clutch. Yagami bites her way out. "Well done," Saree bites her back. Saree applies an Indian Deathlock followed by a Sickle Lock. When Yagami escapes, Saree stomps on his back and applies a foot stamp. "What's wrong?" and "Is it over?" he taunts, then hits a hair whip, corners him, and stomps on his face. He slams his forehead into the corner and declares, "I'm going to hit you!" Yagami dodges and hits a high kick, followed by a drop kick, and a penalty kick. When Saree quickly returns the baton, she replies with an elbow from Yagami, saying, "That's not going to do it." Yagami hits more elbows, and they exchange elbows. "Come on!" Saree taunts. Yagami hits more elbows. Saree knocks him down with an elbow, then hits more. Yagami dodges a charge and grabs his arm. Yagami goes for an armbar, but is at the ropes. Yagami hits a series of stomps, then yells, "I'm going to finish you off!" and lifts him up, then grabs his neck. When Saree took Yagami's back, he unleashed a barrage of strikes, to which Saree said, "Too bad," and refused to let him back down. However, Yagami followed up with a high kick and a Zero Fighter Kick. When Yagami charged, Saree got behind him and hit a German suplex. She shouted, "Let's go!" and delivered a missile kick from the corner. Yagami countered with an armpit hold and an armbar. When he escaped, she delivered a dropkick from the front. Saree declared she was going to finish and performed a fisherman's suplex. 10 minutes passed. When Yagami countered, Saree warned of the finish and performed a diving foot stomp. The three count was made and Saree was victorious. Yagami charged, but it was too late
"In his second match at the 5★STAR GP, Yagami, I never thought the day would come when we'd fight again so soon, but he said confidently that he'd grown in such a short amount of time, so isn't he better than he was then? That's fine, but admitting it to yourself means you still have a long way to go. There's always more, more, more, more, more to go in that area, so you shouldn't say things like that just because you've grown a little. Come at me with more spirit. This belt is for Akari, and I've had preliminary matches with her and Yagami, and just when it was already decided that I'd be up against Akari, you suddenly showed up and a singles match was decided, so I'm sure you have mixed feelings about me. But it feels good. But I want you to keep trying. I've safely taken two points, so I can't lose any more, and I'm going to keep winning. And the day after tomorrow (August 3rd) in Utsunomiya (afternoon), I'll be up against Hina in a singles match, my third 5★STAR match, and it's like a triumphant return to her hometown, but that doesn't matter to me. If she doesn't show up, I don't mind being beaten to a pulp and wiped out in seconds, so I'm just saying, do your best."
"I am so incredibly disappointed that I lost my second match against Saree at the Koriyama tournament. I thought I had grown as a person through so many challenges in such a short time, but Saree's dignity and power since winning the belt has only increased that, and it made me realise that as a rookie, I have to work harder and harder in the Stardom ring and absolutely beat her. Of course, I have to beat Saree and get revenge, but the other day, Konami beat Saree, and in that way avenged Akari? I was so pissed. She betrayed me and quit, so don't bring up Akari's name now! But what's really frustrating is that Konami's match was so cool, which made me angry at the same time. I absolutely have to beat both Saree and Konami, so first up (August 3rd) in Utsunomiya (afternoon), I will absolutely beat Konami by any means necessary."
