Post-Match
The champions, Hakuchumu, appeared.
Kazashiro: “I’ve been looking forward to this ever since this decision match was announced! I believed that the current Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed could seize it. (To Aino) Right? …Right!?”
Aino: “Yeah!”
Kazashiro: “We’re super awesome right now, so please let us challenge for those Princess Tag belts!”
Tatsumi: “Well, well, well, we’re totally fired up too. So fired up I wouldn’t mind doing it right here and now, you wanna do a title match? (Reacting to the crowd) Well… it’s not, it’s not that scary. I’m the type who likes to let the anticipation grow, so let’s do it at the next big show. (To Miu) Right? Right?”
Watanabe: “We’re not doing it now, not now. Logically speaking, we aren’t doing it now (wry smile). But seeing you guys show such a passionate fight leading up to Ota Ward, and stepping up to challenge for our belts… I’m incredibly excited now. Let’s fight for these belts at Ota Ward on October 3. We’re looking forward to it!”
Aino: “You finally spoke to me casually in the ring, and I was just so, so happy about it!”
Backstage Comments – Winning Team
Haru: “Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed won!”
Yuki: “Challenge rights!”
Haru: “Got ’em!”
Yuki: “We did it!”
Haru: “When the chance to challenge for the tag belts came around again this year, I knew the Kazashiro from January was gone. I just thought it was so great to team up with Yuki-san like this now. I believed in us, and I’m glad I could. We won the challenge rights with trust and love.”
Yuki: “We’re somehow a bit overwhelmed here (wry smile), but she finally spoke to me casually in the ring. I was so, so happy about that. I feel like with Haru, we can climb as high as we want. Winning this right against Yama & Hattori, and HIMAWARI & Toga, I feel our bond has deepened even more. So Hakuchumu, just you wait!”
Haru: “Just you wait!”
Interviewer: “What’s the biggest change since your challenge in January?”
Yuki: “What do you think changed?”
Haru: “Overwhelming experience.”
Yuki: “That’s true.”
Haru: “I challenged for the International belt in May, so I think that was huge.”
Yuki: “I’m still in my growth phase too, but Haru is in her peak growth spurt right now, soaking everything up. I’ve watched her fight through so much this year right beside her, so her experience points are undeniable. And I worked hard myself too (laughs).”
Backstage Comments – Losing Team
Toga: “We lost.”
HIMAWARI: “So frustrating.”
Toga: “I feel like we fought bravely against those two teams, even if we’re a bit rough around the edges.”
HIMAWARI: “Yeah! Those two teams have been teaming regularly, and we’ve only teamed a few times.”
Toga: “For that, we went pretty far.”
HIMAWARI: “Let’s praise ourselves for doing our best and keep growing.”
Toga: “Thinking about that, it made me realize how amazing the tag team power of those two teams really is. This might be it for now, but we might team up again in the future.”
HIMAWARI: “Yeah. We still have a long way to go. If we work hard individually, train up, and team up again when our paths cross to challenge for something, it’d be fun.”
Toga: “I have a massive desire to team with you forever just so I don’t have to take that hair whip. It hurts. More than wanting to fight you, I felt that deeply. Standing in the same corner made me realize that if we fought, I’d probably just go ‘Ugh…'”
HIMAWARI: “I get it. There were so many things I could see because we teamed. It was reassuring. You have amazing power, and having Toga beside me gave me a huge sense of security.”
Toga: “It’s reliable, but if we fight, you’ll be a really annoying opponent. Taking this experience, if we do fight, I want us to go all out.”
HIMAWARI: “Let’s keep at it!”
Hattori: “Regrettable. We planned on winning this 3-WAY, challenging Hakuchumu, and taking the belts, but we couldn’t even make it to the challenge.”
Yamashita: “Incredibly frustrating. I wanted to seize the chance with Hattori and really wanted those tag belts. Right now, I hold the EVE belt, and I wanted to be a double champion by adding the tag belts. I wanted to defend the EVE belt in Tokyo Joshi, put the tag belts on the line, and crush various opponents everywhere, so it’s frustrating. But we haven’t given up yet. We will absolutely go get the Tokyo Joshi tag belts someday.”
Hattori: “Absolutely.”
Yamashita: “Absolutely. We won’t give up. We will definitely get stronger.”
Rika: “It’s Shunretsu.” Miu: “It’s decided.” Rika: “Those two are building themselves up, they’re fresh and innocent, like a newly dating couple.”
Miu: “True.”
Rika: “I look at them and think it’s really nice, but we are…”
Miu: “How many years has it been?”
Rika: “Compared to them, we feel like an old married couple (wry smile).”
Miu: “(Laughs) Eh, no way, an old couple?”
Rika: “I think it feels like that.”
Miu: “Yeah, by comparison.”
Rika: “Old couples are wonderful too, and we’re aiming for the maximum number of defenses, so we’ll crush them easily.”
Interviewer: “How do you view those two as a tag team?”
Rika: “They still look like they are in the development stage.”
Miu: “Watching today, they survived a super heated 3-WAY tag battle against that lineup, so I think that makes it something to look forward to.”

Post-Match
After the match, Arai and Suzume smiled while shooting sparks at each other, holding their respective belts. After Arai’s team left, Suzume took the microphone.
Suzume: “Everyone! First off, I won the first of our prelude matches. Arisu was incredibly reliable as always, and Shino was super reassuring! Even with a broken flag, she didn’t get discouraged—she was a genius bus guide. Thanks to you two, we won. How is it, Yokohama?”
Arisu: “We’re in Yokohama. Hey.”
Shino: “That’s right.”
Arisu: “Got any spots to recommend?”
Shino: “For a recommended spot… this is a classic date spot I suggest to customers. Or an outing spot. There’s a place called Harbor View Park.”
Arisu: “Know it? Anyone been there?”
Shino: “Actually…”
Endo: (Pointing at Suzuki) “She’s never been there!”
Shino: “I highly recommend it. I want everyone to definitely go to Harbor View Park.”
Suzume: “Right. Shino and everyone else, let’s go where we want to go. And for me, I have a massive challenge set for Ota Ward, and I want all the wrestlers to move forward toward their own dreams. We might even visit the date spots we want to go to. So I’m going all out in every match leading up to it. Please don’t take your eyes off me, all the way to Ota Ward. Thank you so much for today!”
Heading into the match against Arai, Arisu & Shino—who are close with Arai in private—recommend “squishies” to Suzume.
Backstage Comments – Winning Team
Suzume: “Yay! We did it! I secured my challenge for the Princess of Princess title, and this was our very first prelude match. Yuki-chan is strong, but because you two were here, I was able to win today. Having two people who are super close with Yuki-chan (laughs)…”
Arisu: “It’s definitely crazy (laughs).”
Suzume: “…on my side was incredibly reassuring.”
Arisu: “It’s okay, I’ll cheer for you.”
Suzume: “I know, I know… Really?”
Arisu: “I’m the closest one to you, after all.”
Suzume: “Arisu always says that, but…”
Shino: “Of course I’ll cheer for you too.”
Suzume: “Really?”
Shino: “Yes.”
Suzume: “Yuki-chan, are you watching?”
Arisu: “That’s how it is.”
Suzume: “That’s how it is.”
Shino: “…That’s how it is!”
Suzume: “Please guide me to victory.”
Shino: “Of course. Let me guide you.”
Suzume: “(Since you two are close to Arai, any advice on fighting her?) I want to know.”
Arisu: “Well… as you can see, she’s long, so if you move around too much, your legs will probably get tangled up and do that thing… they’ll get tangled.”
Suzume: “Really?”
Shino: “Let’s see…”
Suzume: “I don’t think that’s it (laughs).”
Shino: “She’s really into squishies right now, so if you play with a squishy right in front of her like this, it’ll probably distract her.”
Suzume: “But Arisu will jump in on that too! (laughs)”
Arisu: “I want it.”
Suzume: “See, then everyone will come over!”
Arisu: “Squishies are highly recommended.”
Suzume: “That wasn’t helpful at all (wry smile).”
Arai: “We fought as this trio today. For me, this was my first prelude match heading into the next title match, and my first time fighting Suzume-san like this. Fighting her, I could really feel how much momentum she’s gained through the tournament, and I strongly felt that I can’t just stay the way I am. I’m sure we’ll have more prelude matches, so while Suzume-san is riding this wave, I really felt today that I need to kick into high gear, catch up, and build my own momentum. Seeing how hard the two people fighting alongside me worked also made me feel that way. I’m glad the three of us got to go out there today. Yes. How about you?”
Ashida: “I’ve been in a lot of your prelude matches, Arai-san, and I’m always dragging you down, so I’m really sorry.”
Arai: “That’s not true.”
Ashida: “I just have this overwhelming desire to win, and I want to support you with all my might.”
Arai: “That makes me happy. Oh man, please support me.”
Ashida: “Yes, full support. So, Kyoto x Cheer Tag, the three of us will give you our full support.”
Uehara: “We’ll support you!”
Arai: “Cheer Tag?”
Ashida: “(Ashida & Uehara are) the Cheer group, and (Arai & Ashida are) the Kyoto group. We’ve got amazing elements multiplying together here.”
Arai: “Really? Then I’m counting on your full support!”
Ashida: “Yes, leave it to us. We’ll do our best!”
