He burst out onto the ring full of energy to thunderous applause, but was slammed onto the mat outside the ring with a body slam and then fell victim to a reverse Boston crab hold, resulting in a tough start to the match
Furthermore, he was tied to the ropes on all four sides of the ring and subjected to a barrage of chops. He managed to fight back with a plancha to the outside and a Famouser, but was hit with a lariat to the back of his knee and writhed in pain. His stamina was further drained by an Argentine backbreaker
Despite clutching his right leg, he fought back with counter-attacks including a neckbreaker, a modified DDT, a rock drop, and a blockbuster, but he couldn't seize a decisive opportunity. Just over 10 minutes in, he was finally hit with a lightning strike and pinned for the three count. His winning streak from the start of the tournament came to an end at three
After the match, Sorei grabbed the microphone and declared, "Hana, I'm going to get solid results in this 5★STAR and challenge for that belt. Can you wait just a little longer?" Hana immediately replied, "Of course. After 5★STAR is over, right? Let's do it somewhere after it's over." She solidified her resolve to face Sorei as the next challenger
Backstage, Hanan vowed, "This is the strength of Sorei Ami right now. I thought I had become incredibly strong, but she has also become incredibly strong. I will defend this white belt after 5★STAR is over. I will show everyone what a champion Hanan is now. I will also become even stronger at 5★STAR."
