This momentum is the real deal! In the first round of the "5★STAR GP 2026" final tournament, Rina, who advanced from Red Stars A in second place, defeated Yamashita Rina, a strong competitor who came in third place in Red Stars B
In a venue filled with cheers for both sides, and chants of "Rina," Rina, who refused to shake hands, spat at them
This enraged Yamashita, who launched a fierce attack. Moreover, his whip attack was blocked. Nevertheless, he continued to press on with a barrage of elbows, desperately clinging on
As the match progressed with Yamashita in the lead, he landed a Hydrangea at a crucial moment to stop his opponent's movement, then followed up with a Missile Kick
Furthermore, he countered Yamashita's diving body press with a kenzan (a type of pin), and then cornered her with a double knee drop. He blocked Implant and Splash Mountain, and then launched Pink♥Devil. From there, he transitioned into a jackknife pin and secured a comeback victory with a three-count
In the second round on the same day, a match between fellow HATE members, Konami and Red Stars B (who finished first in the group), was scheduled
[Yamashita Rina's story]
5★STAR is over. I feel a sense of relief, actually. She beat me and made it this far, so if she doesn't win the championship, I'm going to seriously mess with her, you jerk. It's not like I'm rooting for Rina. I'm definitely not rooting for her. But, but, she has to win the championship. That's how it is, I won't root for her, but she has to win the championship. Win the championship, you jerk!
