Kamitani: "Be... You are the number one shopper!"
Bee: "Kamitani... When I left Stardom, it was a very warm farewell. And now, when I returned, I was warmly welcomed back. I love Stardom. Stardom is my number one wrestling home. I want Stardom to remain a place that everyone can enjoy. I lost today. Maybe I was disappointed today... But Bee is the biggest foreigner. I will definitely get revenge on you."
They try to shake hands, but both of them point their index fingers up at the last moment. As Bea leaves the stage, AZM appears
AZM: "Kamitani, here you are. Do you remember losing to AZM at 5★STAR? I've come to challenge for the red belt, so I'm fully qualified, right?"
Kamitani: "Hey, AZM! Of course I remember. But you have a belt, right? One more. That purple belt. If you're willing to put that belt on the line, I'll take the challenge."
AZM: ...Sure. I'll put my precious STRONG (women's) belt on the line and we'll do a double title match. The venue will be... Korakuen Hall, where I beat Kamitani. September 27th, how about that?
Kamitani: Of course, it's decided!
Both men show off their belts
Kamitani: "Don't get scared and run away, AZM senpai."
AZM: "Don't get too cocky."
AZM leaves the stage
Kamitani: "My servants! When Venerable ..
"Bee, you realized today, right? That Saya-sama is the strongest in Stardom. In the four years that you were away from Stardom, Saya-sama has crawled her way to the top! You realized today, right? So, on September 27th, at Korakuen Hall, there will be a double title match between AZM and the World and STRONG (women's) belts! Well, Saya-sama doesn't really care what kind of belt that is, but she needs glory right now. My ambition, Saya-sama, is to be the MVP of the Pro Wrestling Grand Prix! I want AZM to be Saya-sama's stepping stone."
"I might have hurt my ribs. Yes, the first Star Crusher really, really hurt. Then the second and third hits totally took me. I can't breathe. My ribs are swollen. I might have felt a bit gutted today, to be honest, but I can't lie. It was really fun to have another championship match. My last title match was against Utami for the World Championship. And today, Utami showed just as much fighting spirit as Utami did then. So maybe I've fallen a little behind the times. Maybe I need to change myself a little. I used to be the top of this organization. But I can't honestly say I'm the best now. But what I can say is that I never stop trying." You can always learn something from a loss. I feel like I got to know Kamitani a little better today than I did yesterday. So I need to recover as quickly as possible for the next Korakuen Hall event. I'm not the type to miss a match, so I'll still step into the ring even if I'm injured. I really love Stardom, so even though it hurts, I gain more than that. I also gain a lot of respect. I'm truly blessed to be able to fight alongside these amazing wrestlers. So there's not much more to say except that I think I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at tomorrow's Stardom meet and greet. I'll probably be a little worn out, but I'm still really looking forward to meeting everyone who's coming tomorrow, and I hope everyone will come and see me at next week's Korakuen Hall event. Ganbatte! I can't just walk away, so that's it for today. See you later
"I've been thinking about telling her if Kamitani defends the red belt. I couldn't win 5★STAR, but I was the runner-up, and I even beat Kamitani at Korakuen. I've always wanted to have a long talk with Kamitani, so I'm definitely qualified to challenge her, and since Kamitani said she wants the STRONG belt as well, I'll be ready to go for the double title. Look forward to it."
