AZM: "AZM won! Kamitani, this is going to be fun. Honestly, a lot of people got involved during the preliminary matches, which was annoying. But I've only ever had my eyes on Kamitani. On September 27th at Korakuen Hall, I'll protect this important STRONG (women's) division and take everything from you."
Kamitani: "There were a lot of obstacles, weren't there? But I've only ever had my eyes on you. Saya-sama still has a lot to accomplish. So I can't let you drop here. AZM, I'm going to use you as a stepping stone, so be prepared."
