The spring festival, the "Cinderella Tournament," held six second-round matches at Korakuen Hall on the 8th, with Rian achieving a major upset victory over the "fairy" Natsupoi
Rian's momentum was genuine after defeating high-speed champion Yuna Mizumori in the first round of the tournament on the 6th (Nagoya). She showed no hesitation even in the face of the formidable Natsupoi. She grabbed the hand her opponent offered and immediately went for a brainbuster. Furthermore, she didn't back down an inch in the exchange of pins, the same pins that defeated Mizumori
After a flurry of slaps, he went on the offensive and locked in a sleeper hold. He aimed for an over-the-top-rope (OTR) victory, but couldn't quite secure it. Still, he didn't give up
After landing a crossbody attack from the apron, she went for a net-style atomic drop and a rear naked choke. Just over 10 minutes in, she was forced onto the apron and in a dangerous situation, but she cleverly trapped Natsupoi with her legs and pulled her onto the apron as Natsupoi charged at her. Immediately afterward, Rian took a running start from the ring and slammed Natsupoi down with a low dropkick, securing the victory by over-the-top at 10 minutes and 40 seconds
After the match, Rian had the venue erupt in loud "Rian" chants, emphasizing, "I beat Natsupoi-san!" She couldn't contain her emotions as she continued, "I've fought Natsupoi-san many times, and I've never managed to beat her on my own... I somehow managed to win by taking her down in the over-the-top position."
A challenge for the High Speed Championship is already a certainty. Her goal is to stand before the champion Mizumori as the Cinderella winner. In the quarterfinals (11th, Korakuen Hall), she will face Sakura Aya. "I will win this match no matter what, and then I will win the semifinals and the finals as well, and take the High Speed belt!" Rian's eyes are shining brighter than diamonds
