In the second round of the "Cinderella Tournament 2026" (held on the 8th at Korakuen Hall), Hinami showed her true strength. Her match against Azusa Inaba began with a brawl outside the ring. But Hinami remained calm. She gradually inflicted damage with three consecutive body slams, a rolling elbow, and an STF
After desperately enduring Azusa's relentless attacks for over 12 minutes, she finally crushed her with a Mad Splash
Backstage after the match, she proudly declared, "She's been calling me a 'nerd old hag' since before the match, but she's only 18, right? There's only a one-year age difference. You can see that from today's match, right? That one-year difference is huge."
In the following match, Mitsuyoshi Amasaki defeated Saya Iida and advanced to the quarterfinals (November 11th, Korakuen Hall), where they will face each other.
