This is a five-way match featuring five wrestlers: Yuna Mizumori, Momo Kogo, Lady C, Kiyoka Toraryu, and Azusa Inaba. It's Lady C's return match after being absent due to illness. With the subtitle "Pine Speed 5-Way Battle," Mizumori should be the star of the show, but..
"It's a Pine Speed Fight! The winner of this match will become the next High Speed challenger! And if I win, I'll nominate myself!" As Mizumori was making her appeal, Kogo attacked, and the four of them, excluding Azusa, engaged in a rope-work battle. Kogo and Mizumori exchanged dropkicks. Azusa joined in on the exchange of roll-up attempts. Lady delivered a series of shoulder tackles, sending Tora Ryu flying when he tried to stop her, and then a giant swing. When Tora Ryu countered, Azusa pulled Lady's leg and delivered a double kick. Azusa also tried an eye poke, but Kogo hit both Lady and Azusa with a missile kick. Mizumori hit Azusa, Lady, and Kogo with lariats. She also hit Kogo with a guillotine, but it was only a two count. Kogo delivered a series of elbows to Mizumori. Mizumori dodged Kogo's body attack, and they exchanged roll-up attempts. Tora Ryu pinned them all at once, but it was only a two count. Azusa also joined in the roll-up attempt, interfering with Toraryu's submission hold on Mizumori. Azusa and Toraryu engaged in a ground battle, with Azusa gaining the upper hand, but Toraryu reversed and applied a neck lock. After a series of high kicks, Mizumori delivered a lariat to both of them. Lady then hit Mizumori with a chokeslam. Mizumori managed to kick out at the last moment, and Lady followed with a big boot, while Kogo hit Lady with a neckbreaker. Mizumori went for a roll-up, but Kogo countered and secured the three count. After the match, Mizumori proudly showed Kogo the High Speed belt before leaving the ring
Comments from Kogo
"Momo Kogo has pinned Yuna Mizumori for a three count! (tears) I've finally, finally, finally seized this chance. I'm the next challenger for High Speed. Mizumori said when she achieved her first victory last time that it took her three attempts to finally win the High Speed belt, but from my perspective, I was really, really jealous of you for getting three chances in such a short time. I was frustrated the whole time, and even though we were rivals, I was filled with frustration and a lot of dark feelings swirling around inside me, but... I'm going to stop being jealous of others. I'll walk my own path, with my own strength, on my own two feet, and I'm going to take that belt from you no matter what. If there are few chances, then I'll definitely make the most of this precious next chance. Momo Kogo will defeat you and become the High Speed Champion."
Mizumori's comment
"Pine Speed 5WAY, Azusa and Kiyoka, those girls have incredible leg strength. They're fast, more than fast. And Lady C, I think that giant swing of hers is the best in the world. She's that fast. Everyone has a different kind of speed, and it was so much fun. It was amazing. Kogo Momo, you're faster than anyone else in today's group, but your heart is slow. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you. I was waiting for you the other day too. You finally came. Finally. I was so happy. I've really been waiting for you to come. You're watching, so come on. Is your heart really that slow?"
Kogo: "Yuna Mizumori, sorry to keep you waiting. I finally got a result today and can challenge you. Let's do it right away. High Speed. Right away. Please let me challenge you for the High Speed belt at the next Korakuen Hall event."
Mizumori: "That's good. Whenever you've won something, you've always lacked confidence somewhere, even after winning something. It's the same now. You finally won, but you still seem a little unsure of yourself. Take that confidence that's sleeping deep inside you, and bring it out more and more next week on February 13th at Korakuen Hall and go for it."
Kogo: "Next time at Korakuen Hall, I'm going to get both confidence and this belt. Just you wait."
Kogo left the room
Mizumori: "I've been waiting... Although it's still only V2, I've made my dreams a reality and my confidence a reality, more so than her. So I'm definitely going to defend myself!"
