HANAKO: "I've surpassed Sera! When this match was decided, I was so excited, but as the day approached, I was so scared thinking that my relationship with Sera would be over. But I was also excited. I have such mixed feelings as I face this day. But my desire to surpass Sera has never changed, and ever since I got the name Fura Risa, I have always refused to give up on the idea of surpassing Sera. There is no doubt that the HANAKO of today exists because of Sera. Thank you so much."
Sera: "You just did the promise we made when we fought in Yoyogi in June, that you would try to surpass Sera! Don't surpass me so easily (laughs). But I can really feel HANAKO's growth before I retire, so I can retire with peace of mind. Thank you for choosing Sera Risa from among the many names of female pro wrestlers when you were a student!"
HANAKO: "Excuse me. Ah, Sera-san is retiring here the day after tomorrow, so I'll be performing too. You all should come and see it. Got it?!"
