In the Red Stars B block, Seira Mei faced Inaba Azusa (JTO) of HATE. Neither side gave an inch in the match, and it was a back-and-forth battle. With less than three minutes remaining, Azusa caught Seira in a heel hold. Screaming, Seira endured for nearly two minutes and managed to escape to the ropes. She kicked out of a big boot at the count of one, and Seira tried to go for a pin with a dropkick, but it wasn't a decisive blow. Just after the merciless bell rang to signal the 15-minute time limit, Azusa caught Seira in a kneebar, but it was too late
With this, both Seira and Azusa now have 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses, for a total of 3 points. After the match, Seira said, "I failed to hunt down that brat. Ah, to be honest, I underestimated her. I thought I could definitely score two goals today, so I'm disappointed. In the two matches so far since this 5★STAR tournament started, I've been caught in joint locks, so I was getting pretty anxious towards the end of today's match. I thought my knee was gone. I didn't win, but I think that one goal was pretty significant. Also, if I can win all my remaining matches, there's still hope. I'm definitely going to go for the kill."
Meanwhile, Azusa made a defiant comment: "Failed at hunting the old lady. Awful. Seriously awful. Well, to draw with me for 15 minutes, Seira Mei is pretty impressive. If you want to run again, I'll help you run again, and if you want to have another match, I'll help you again. But in the meantime, heal your knee that I attacked. Go away, pain! Bye-bye!"
