Kid: "It looks like you can't use your legs anymore! Hahaha, this was my first time defending my title against a wrestler from another organization. But I carried Stardom on my shoulders and defended Wonder's belt to the end! And as I announced yesterday, a special event has also been decided for Starlight Kid's 10th anniversary since her debut! Well, I want to celebrate my 10th anniversary as Wonder Champion in the best possible way, so everyone get ready to buy your tickets! Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough? Everyone, please buy your tickets. So, everyone in Yokohama, can we hear a big SLK call? Thank you very much! Don't miss the future defenses of the 24th Wonder of Stardom Champion, White Tiger SLK. Goodbye!"

"I've lost a number of belts in my sixth defense. I did it, and my revenge against Tomoka was a success, including that one. Tomoka, your kicks and joints are brutal. I thought a lot of things would fly. But the current Tomoka wouldn't work on me now. God's Eye and JTO, isn't she taking on too much? I thought as I watched her that maybe she should relax a bit more and enjoy wrestling for herself. I was in that same situation, so I don't know if Tomoka is enjoying it now or not, but I felt that there are some similarities between us. Well, we're the same generation, and today's fight has left a mark on me, so I think we'll keep fighting, and I think we might become even closer. But today was a defense of 5★STAR's revenge. After all, I am It's not about revenge, but I want to fight someone who is passionate about this belt. It's not that Tomoka wasn't passionate. But there are more people out there who want this belt. When I saw the 5★STAR finals, I thought it was great that they were fighting against other home-grown wrestlers. It made me want to fight more as a home-grown wrestler too. It might be a bit weird to use the word home-grown now, but that's how much of an inspiration I was from the 5★STAR finals. So I'm really looking forward to seeing who's going to be the next person to seriously try and get this belt."

"Frustrated... these are the only words I can think of right now. I have fought until now with the weight of my own organization, the JTO, on my shoulders. To be honest, there were many times when I nearly gave up. Because it is still a small organization, it was very difficult, and one after another, my teammates were quitting, but I decided that I would never abandon the JTO. I have to make the JTO bigger. I will continue to fight with the JTO on my shoulders. Of course, in this fight with Wonder, I was resolved to beat Kid, become Wonder Champion, and carry Stardom on my shoulders. But I lost. I tapped out. It's frustrating... but I will not give up. I will definitely become the top of Stardom and surpass Starlight Kid. It's frustrating, frustrating, but I really had a lot of fun fighting today. Starlight Kid, no, Ki-chan. With this fight with Wonder, I have achieved another goal, another thing I wanted to achieve. From here on, I will keep moving forward without stopping. I will definitely stand opposite you again. And to all the fans who support me, I will definitely become the champion of Stardom! One hit kill! Tomoka kick, Osu!"
