The former world champion's short summer has come to an end
In an official Red Stars A match, Sayaka Kurei faced Natsuko Tora of HATE. With a record of 2 wins and 4 losses so far, her chances of advancing to the final tournament on her own have already been eliminated. However, there is still a less than 0.1% chance that she will advance, relying on others to do so
With her back against the wall, Kyurei attacked first as soon as the gong sounded. However, the fight quickly spilled outside the ring, and she was thrown towards the audience
He tried to break through with a sleeper hold and a missile kick, but his Tokimeki Spear was dodged and he was hit with two sentons. Furthermore, he was caught in Tora's body-lock sleeper hold, and his stamina was quickly drained
Nevertheless, he showed his determination. He dodged the Swanton Bomb once and landed a Heart-Pounding Bullet. However, he couldn't follow up and took two lariats
In the end, he was hit with a Swanton Bomb and, at 7 minutes and 28 seconds, suffered a heartbreaking three-count defeat. After the match, Tora offered him his right hand, but he refused by throwing an ice pack at him, and was then hit with a senton
Kyurei finished all her matches with 2 wins and 5 losses, accumulating 4 points, and was eliminated. Tora, on the other hand, finished all her official matches with 3 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, accumulating 8 points
[Sayaka Kurei's Story]
All the matches for 5★STAR have finished. My score is 4 points. I guess it's the same as last year. Can I say something I've been thinking about for a while? I won the red belt. And then I lost it when 5★STAR was announced. On that day, I was told, "It's okay to be the real Kurei," and I felt like I was relieved. But the me who won the red belt that day was also the real me, and the part where I try to act more mature than I am is also the real me. So I don't think that the me from that time is any different from the me of today. My 5★STAR is over this summer, but it's still August, so summer is far from over. There are still a lot of things I want to do, so I'm shifting my focus towards those. Next year, I definitely won't end with such a disappointing result
