A showdown between two best friends, Natsupoi and Saree, has finally come to fruition. Until now, the two had barely interacted in the ring, but Saree had criticized Natsupoi since Natsu & Saori's 10th anniversary event. They had a tag team match at her own event, igniting Natsupoi's fighting spirit. Natsupoi then challenged her to a one-on-one match, which she won by pinfall in a six-person tag match at Korakuen Hall. Following this result, Saree accepted a singles match, marking their third singles match in about six years. Will Natsupoi, who has never beaten Saree in a singles match, achieve her first victory, or will Sareee take things even further? This is a fight not to be missed.
The two shook hands, with Saree extending her hand. The match began with a ground match. Natsupoi followed with a back kick and a neckbreaker, and Saree knocked Natsupoi out of the ring in the corner with a Deadly Drive. When Saree goes up to the corner, Natsupoi glares at her. Natsupoi returns and they lock up. Saree pushes in and Natsupoi reverses. Saree elbows, slams her into the corner and hits a hair whip. Natsupoi hits a hair whip. Saree quickly grabs her hair and pushes her into the corner, hits a hair whip, and stomps on her face. When Saree takes her back, Natsupoi counters with a foot stamp, Saree retaliates with a foot stamp and applies a reverse crab hold. When Natsupoi escapes, Saree applies another reverse crab hold. She grabs her hand and prevents her from escaping. However, Natsupoi's hand somehow gets to the ropes. Saree foot stamps her back and kicks her head, taunting her with a "Come on!" Saree applies a brainbuster, Indian deathlock, and sickle hold. Countering a body slam, Natsupoi hits an arm whip and a dropkick. Saree lifts her up and hits a Northern. Natsupoi hits back, and Saree goes to the corner. Natsupoi catches up, but Saree drops her with an elbow and hits a foot stomp. Natsupoi dodges and hits a dropkick and a series of mount elbows. Saree reverses, but comes back and hits a series of elbows. Natsupoi goes to the corner, but Saree catches up and hits a headbutt. Avalanche fisherman, missile kick. Natsupoi hits back with an elbow. Saree retaliates, saying "I won't listen!" Natsupoi hits back, and Saree hits back. Natsupoi slaps, Saree does the same. They trade slaps, and Natsupoi hits back. Saree reads her movements and hits a series of dropkicks. 10 minutes have passed. "It's over!" she shouted, aiming for a uranage throw. Natsupoi countered with a throwing German suplex, a dropkick, and a plancha to the corner to the outside. Natsupoi returned and hit a diving body attack and an armbar. When Saree escaped, Natsupoi kicked her arm and hit a Fairy Real Gift from the corner. However, Saree put her knee up and went for a German suplex. Saree and Natsupoi exchanged elbows. Saree hit a diving foot stamp from the second and another from the top. When Natsupoi countered, Saree went for a uranage throw. Natsupoi countered with a backstroke to the back of the ring. When Saree countered, Natsupoi hit a Fairy Real Gift. 15 minutes passed, but it only got a two count. Natsupoi picked up the fairing ring, lifted it up, and hit a Fairy Strain. When Saree countered, Natsupoi went to the corner and modified the Fairy Real Gift. Saree dodges and hits a running foot stamp and a back drop hold, but Natsupoi returns at the one count, and Saree hits a uranage. Natsupoi returns and Saree hits a uranage. She pulls her up and hits a uranage. Another one, a fourth uranage. Natsupoi returns and Saree goes for a wrist clutch uranage, but Natsupoi hits Fairy Magic. Saree returns and hits a wrist clutch uranage. The three count arrives, and Saree defeats Natsupoi.
Saree asks for a handshake, but Natsupoi brushes it off. Saree pulls her in for a hug, but dodges it.
Saree's comment
: "Against Natsupoi, honestly, it was the most difficult match I've ever had. For me, it was something I'd never really imagined happening, with Natsupoi opposite me. We've been best friends for a long time, but I never thought the day would come where we'd be able to fight in a singles match at such a big venue like Ryogoku. I don't usually try to get along with the wrestlers, and I don't even explicitly say I'm friends with any of them. After all, this ring is a place to fight. What's the point of being friends with everyone? After all, we're all here to climb up the ladder. But Natsupoi is my one and only best friend. I don't think she's the type of person who would give up after today's loss. I really have high hopes for Natsupoi from here on out, and I'm sure she can do it again in singles matches, even more so if she's at Stardom. Everyone should dream of the day we can fight for a belt on a big stage, and I'm sure Natsupoi will make it a reality."
Natsupoi's comment
: "Saree has pulled me all the way to this card at Ryogoku. She has been watching me complaining non-stop, which is unusual for a professional wrestler, and she has pulled me all the way to this amazing special card at Natsupoi, the 10th anniversary year, right before Ryogoku. It was the first time I faced Saree in a serious, serious one-on-one match as a professional wrestler, and I saw a lot of things I regret, and it was so frustrating. I don't know what to say right now, but there's just one thing... Natsupoi never gives up. Ever since I decided to crush Saree, I have been beating her. I believe that if I don't do that, it won't work. Saree said, 'I want Natsu to wear the red belt.' I also seriously want to aim for the Stardom belt, so the next time I have a singles match with Saree, I will be a stronger Natsupoi, and I will be able to face Saree across from her. I will be charging ahead until that point next year, so please keep an eye on me. Bye-poi!
