"Deathmatch Amazoness" Rina Yamashita has moved into a tie for first place. She faced Konami in a Red Stars B official match
During the brawl outside the ring, Yamashita took control of the situation in his usual "Yamashita style," even using the help of his corner man, Anne Kanaya, to prevent himself from being thrown into the audience
He went through some tough times as his left arm was relentlessly targeted, but he refused to give up any clear scoring opportunities. Then, Konami, who had grown impatient, caused a collision with the referee, creating a chaotic situation
However, Yamashita blocked the black spray by covering his hands with them. He then wiped his dirty hands on his stomach, making him appear truly "scheming." He then snatched the spray can and headbutted his opponent
Konami's sleeper hold was dodged with a quick turn, and she launched a lariat. Finally, the implant was applied, securing the victory
With this win, Yamashita now has 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, giving her 8 points and putting her in a tie for first place with Iida Saya. She will face Iida directly in the final official match on August 9th in Sapporo
After the match, Yamashita grabbed the microphone and said, "It's been over 10 years since my last singles match, hasn't it? I don't intend to reminisce anymore, but there's just one thing. Last year, I had some lingering regrets about Stardom. That is, Konami, I couldn't get you to join the 'Osu! Bloody Women's Academy.' The Women's Academy is currently on hiatus, but I still want you to join. So, even though it's on hiatus, I'd like to make an exception and let everyone see you join the Women's Academy as a special scholarship student today, right here and now! Konami, I look forward to working with you from now on!" She then extended her right hand
Konami then slapped his hand away and sprayed black paint on Yamashita's face. Yamashita won, but ultimately met an unfortunate end when he had his face printed
[Konami's story]I'll let you join the "Bloody Girls' Academy" as a scholarship student, but I don't care about that! Why would I join such a crappy team?! That's my answer to you! I couldn't get a 3-count on you today, but one day I'll definitely get a 3-count and make you submit! And also, 5★STAR, we can't afford to drop a single point now, and tomorrow's match against (Inaba) Azusa, well, it's our first match as a HATE showdown, but I won't show any mercy, and I'll definitely win and advance to the finals of this league!
[Rina Yamashita's comments]I won the match, but I felt like I was kind of turned on at the end. I was secretly listening to Konami's comments just now, and I get it. So, Konami sees me as someone she should surpass, someone she can respect, a high wall, a senior, right? Well, that's fine for now. I'm not going to be a teammate, I'll continue to stand in Konami's way as a wonderful, respectable senior that she should surpass. Even though I look like this.
