Natsuko: "Hey, even if it's your triumphant return, I'm not letting you have a moment to shine! You two are so
noisy, Yamashita and Aoki. You said you wanted to challenge for Goddess, right? When is it going to happen? Let me hear your answer." Aoki: "Hey, you beat your junior who's making a triumphant return, what are you acting all cocky about, huh! Let me have a moment to shine. Let me see what you've got. I'm going to tell you today. The day for your Goddess challenge is October 27th at Korakuen Hall, huh! It's easy for everyone here to get here by Shinkansen, so we'll do it at Korakuen Hall! So let me hear your answer, strong, strong champion!"
Ryuka: "Fine, I'll do it! You guys are seriously disgusting!"
Aoki: "Thanks for responding to my love call. It's officially decided that I'll challenge for Goddess on October 27th at Korakuen Hall!"
H.A.T.E. leaves the ring.
Aoki: "More importantly, we're not the stars of the show today. Our reliable leader Suzu-chan of Mi Vida Roka is currently on leave, so you, today's hero is you!" Akira:
"Damn... I wanted to win, because today is the first time I've ever headlined, so I wanted to win today and headline the main event for the first time in Niigata. But Natsuko-san took the win. But I'm not giving up yet. I can't end it here. When Suzu-san, who is currently out of action, watched my practice the other day, she said, 'I've been watching your matches.' Afterwards, I asked her for some self-reflection and thanked her, and she said, 'Akira, who are you wrestling for?' 'You should be doing it for yourself.' I didn't answer then, but it's not for anyone! I'm wrestling for myself! Hey, people of Niigata, rest assured! And be proud!" I'm going to surpass Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki, Bozilla, and Suzu Suzuki, and become the top of Stardom, the top of women's professional wrestling! So from now on, you absolutely, absolutely have to keep your eyes on me. Thank you so much for today!
Bozilla: "Salty. Salty, salty, salty, salty! Just for today, just for today, it's salty. Super salty. I lost again. Losing again means I have to think about what to do from now on. The only thing I can say is that I can't lose anymore. Losing is bad. I can't lose anymore. Because if I lose, it's all over!"
Bozilla leaves.
Aoki: "Bozilla, Bozilla's a little..."
Yamashita: "He's finally getting seriously angry..."
Aoki: "He's gotten angry, but for now, I'll take a break from translating Bozilla's lines today and apologize profusely later. Because today... oh, what should I do? What should I do? Just wait a moment. I'll say it first. Hey, it's decided, Goddess challenge. October 27th at Korakuen Hall, hey, you! "I've been waiting for the right moment, but today it finally clicked. Hey, listen. Akira's making his triumphant return, hey. What's going on? We're going to beat him to a pulp at Korakuen Hall and bring the belt back to Mi Vida Roka, right, Yamashita-san?"
Yamashita: "Yes, of course. I'll let him have his moment. I'll borrow the champion's chest in a big way and bring the belt back to Mi Vida Roka."
Aoki: "So, today you were the star, Akira!"
Akira: "Damn, I wanted to win my triumphant return. H.A.T.E. is strong." . But Mi Vida Roka is strong too. So I wanted to be the last one to win. But that means there's still a next step. That means I can still grow."
Yamashita: "There's room to grow."
Aoki: "There's nothing but room to grow."
Akira: "I'm happy. Next time I want to beat Niigata and show them my magnificent performance, so you'll come and see me again, right? You will come and see me, right?!"
Yamashita & Aoki: "Of course!"
Akira: "I'm really blessed to have such great ladies. Next time we're going to Niigata, and I'll bring an even stronger and more reliable Akira with me, so don't take your eyes off me. Just wait for me. Let's go!"
All three: "Mi Vida Roka!"
Akira: "Watch out, you idiots!"
