Ema Tanijima and Kian Furusawa, both trainees, are having their third singles match. This will be their third consecutive one-on-one match at the NEW BLOOD event. The first match ended in a time-limit draw, and Tanijima won the second match. In the previous singles match, she achieved her first genuine victory on her own merit.
