Natsu hits Maika Ozaki with a low dropkick, kicks her in the groin, and follows up with a bronco buster. Maika Ozaki traps Natsu in a full nelson while Mochi grabs her whip to attack, but YuuRI suddenly climbs the turnbuckle and yells an intimidating (?), “Over here!”.
However, Mochi ignores her and attacks with the whip anyway. Natsu steals the whip, shouts “Don’t underestimate me!”, and returns the favor with a whip attack of her own before landing a front high kick and a Shining Wizard.

Continuing her Pro Wrestling WAVE-style 7-match series, Hikari Noa clashes with Cohaku in a singles bout. Contested under two-out-of-three falls rules, the first to secure two falls wins.

Cohaku hypes up the crowd with shouts of “Heh! Heh! Heh!” and leaves the ring.
Hikari takes the mic.
GAMI: “How was it?”
Hikari: “She’s amazing… It’s frustrating. But this was the first time since coming back that I was able to score a fall on my own, so please let me get stronger and get my revenge.”
GAMI: “Our promotion is more about seeking entertainment rather than pure strength, is that alright with you? Two days from now at Shinjuku FACE, your 7-match series continues against the team of Hirota & Hanazono. You probably can’t even imagine what happens when Sakura Hirota and Momoka Hanazono team up, and Hirota will definitely demand an infinite time limit, so I’ll agree to it. However, I want to sing ‘Sarai’ during the ending that day, so you must settle the match before then. If you can’t, it’ll be a no-contest.”
Unagi Sayaka: “All I have to do is settle it, right!”
Hikari: “I’ll do it! Just watch me, GAMI!”
4. DUAL SHOCK WAVE ~ WAVE Tag Team Championship (30-Minute Time Limit): Kaho Kobayashi & ZONES (14:28, 120% Schoolboy) Itsuki Aoki & Kakeru Sekiguchi
*The 45th Champion team makes their 2nd successful defense.
“Osso and Sakura,” Kaho Kobayashi & ZONES, get challenged by Natsu & YuuRI.
“Osso and Sakura,” Kaho Kobayashi & ZONES, get challenged by Natsu & YuuRThe 45th champions’ second title defense. “Osso and Sakura,” Kaho Kobayashi and ZONES, intercept “Team Hokakudo,” Itsuki Aoki and Kakeru Sekiguchi. Furthermore, a title defense against Natsu Sumire and YuuRI is already set for September 24 in Shinjuku.
Aoki and Kobayashi kick things off, trading shoulder tackles. ZONES interrupts, and the two pose shouting “Muscle!”, hit a double elbow, link arms with a “Gashaan!” sound effect, and drop a double elbow drop.
Aoki, flustered and muttering, “These muscles are going to haunt my dreams…!”, joins Sekiguchi to stomp their opponents while shouting, “Let’s go, Team Hokakudo!”, striking a team pose and hitting double knee drops.
Sekiguchi hits a dropkick, but Kobayashi uses the ropes to hit a dropkick of her own, followed by two lariats for a two-count. Aoki captures ZONES and Kobayashi captures Sekiguchi. They try to bargain, “Let’s release them on three, absolutely!” but neither lets go.

Kobayashi and ZONES succeed in their second defense.
Kobayashi takes the mic.
Kobayashi: “Wait, wait, wait! Hold on! The fact that we defended the belts here today means Team NatsuBar is watching from somewhere! Come on out! We cleanly beat you at the recent indie event, but I heard you guys lost today!? Are you really okay with that~~!?”
Natsu: “Uhh… first off, congratulations. You made it to us in Shinjuku, so fine. We’ll challenge for your belts. Congrats. However, there’s a proper reason we lost today. For us in Team NatsuBar, daytime in Suidobashi just doesn’t suit us! Who wrestles at 11:30 AM anyway! The air is too clean! On the other hand! Shinjuku FACE on the 24th is our absolute peak time—nighttime in Kabukicho, Shinjuku! We’ll be like fish in water when we challenge for those belts! And if you muscleheads think you can just rely on the same old muscle schtick, we’re going to conquer every single muscle bar in Kabukicho!”
Natsu and YuuRI leave the ring.
Kobayashi: “You know what? Alcohol is terribly bad for your muscles. I’m going to make sure you two can never drink in Kabukicho again. Please lend us your support!”
▼ Backstage
Kobayashi: “I’m so incredibly happy! We finally defended these belts in a normal match! Dress shirts or whatever… Team NatsuBar, another rematch huh.”
ZONES: “I’ll put them through Kaatsu training in dress shirts!”
Kobayashi: “We’re going to beat the Shinjuku women so badly that whatever little muscle they have left completely vanishes! Shinjuku muscle bars? It’s just lean machos, right?”
ZONES: “I got scouted in Ikebukuro! Super Muscle has no choice but to evolve into Hyper Muscle!”
Kobayashi: “Muscle~~~~!!!!”
5. WWWD Queen Elizabeth Championship (60-Minute Time Limit): Yumi (13:14, Oklahoma Roll) Unagi Sayaka
*The other challenger is Mayumi Ozaki. The 21st Champion makes her first successful defense.
The 21st champion’s first title defense. The former Yumi Ohka, who was stripped of her ring name and became simply “Yumi” for the past two and a half months after losing to Ken Ohka despite winning the Elizabeth title (restricted to wrestlers in their 40s), intercepts Mayumi Ozaki and the “super fresh 40-something” Unagi Sayaka, who just turned 40 on the 2nd of this month.
Seikigun members Yumi and Ozaki immediately collude, stomping Unagi together. Unagi brings out a giant rubber band to hit a double rubber band attack, but they let go of the band, snapping it right back into Unagi’s face.
This time, Yumi tries for a rubber band attack, but it’s released and snaps back into Yumi. Back in the ring, Ozaki attacks Unagi with a chain, but Yumi repeatedly steals the pinfalls. An irritated Ozaki yells, “Hey, isn’t something wrong here!?” and smacks her with the rubber band.
Yumi lifts Ozaki for an assisted dropkick but betrays her, turning it into a backdrop instead. Yumi then hurls Ozaki into Unagi with a brainbuster. Unagi proposes, “That’s right, this is all her fault! Ozaki, let’s team up!” but Ozaki refuses.
Unagi forcibly grabs Ozaki’s hand for a double-team attack, and Yumi hits a double facecrusher, following up with a corner big boot to both. Amidst the chaotic mind games, Unagi hits a guillotine drop on Ozaki. Yumi aims for a big boot, but Unagi uses Ozaki as a human shield.
Ozaki fires back with a double neckbreaker drop on both and wraps her chain around Yumi’s neck. She loops it around Unagi’s neck too, hanging both of them simultaneously. She follows up with a chain knuckle punch, but Yumi hits a brainbuster onto the chain. Yumi charges, but Ozaki counters with a spinning backfist.
Unagi throws the chain to break up the pin and hits Yumi with Joumon Toppa for a two-count. Unagi hits Ozaki with a Sliding TANAKA, but Yumi catches Unagi in an Oklahoma Roll to snatch the three-count.
6. Regina di WAVE ~ WAVE Singles Championship (30-Minute Time Limit): Haruka Umesaki (20:20, Blast) Momoka Hanazono
*The 25th Champion makes her first successful defense.
The 25th champion’s first title defense. Haruka Umesaki, who won her first Catch the Wave tournament and subsequently defeated Itsuki Aoki for her first Regina di WAVE title, nominated Momoka Hanazono—a wrestler she lost to twice during the Catch the Wave block matches. Hanazono kept refusing, but eventually, due to pressure from the promotion (?), she reluctantly agreed to challenge.
During the pre-match commemorative photo with the belt, Hanazono unleashes a massive spray of bubbles. Chants of “Momoka” and “Haruka” echo through the arena.
They lock up, and Hanazono gives a clean break. She suddenly attempts an eye poke, but Umesaki defends it. Hanazono launches a surprise attack with a handstand reverse crucifix pin, followed by an eye poke and a cazadora. She tries to steal Umesaki’s signature low corner dropkick, but Umesaki dodges, and the fight spills to the outside.
Brawling into the south-side seating area, Hanazono declares, “Watch this! We’re having a cavalry battle right here!” forcefully dragging the seconds into an impromptu mock cavalry battle. Umesaki retaliates with a rule-breaking party popper attack. Back in the ring, Umesaki ties Hanazono to the ropes and hits a dropkick to the back, followed by a body slam.
Goaded by “One more time” chants from the crowd, a bewildered Umesaki delivers three consecutive body slams. Hanazono bursts into tears, drawing chants of “Apologize!” from the crowd. Umesaki mercilessly kicks her away, drawing heavy boos. Hanazono counters with an eye poke, causing Umesaki to burst into tears this time.
Unfazed, Hanazono hits a low dropkick. She yells, “You bastard, stop playing around! This is the end!” and goes for a swinging DDT. Umesaki throws her off and locks in a high-angle Boston crab, transitioning into a brutal single-leg crab. Suddenly, an electronic toy dog walks past them.
Umesaki grabs the toy dog, throws it, and kicks it away, drawing massive boos from the crowd. She locks in the Boston crab again. The toy dog strolls past once more; Umesaki tosses it away again to deafening boos. In response, Umesaki brings out Osso (a real dog), but Osso runs away!? Hanazono lands an elbow strike.
The battle moves to the apron. Hanazono tries to trick Umesaki into looking away, but Umesaki ignores it, smashes her with an elbow, and hits a plancha from the top rope to the floor. She follows up with a low corner dropkick, a missile dropkick, and a blockbuster hold for a two-count.
Hanazono counters with an avalanche Frankensteiner, and Umesaki returns fire with an avalanche suplex. She follows with a release German suplex, but Hanazono gets right back up and hits a sliding lariat to the back of the head. 15 minutes have passed. Hanazono yells, “Alright, here we go!” and hits a swinging DDT into a Delfin Clutch for a two-count.
She viciously stabs in a diving double foot stomp, but only gets two. After a high-angle backdrop, she yells, “Umesaki, it’s over!” and goes for the unthinkable Hazukashi-Gatame (Embarrassment Hold), but Umesaki escapes. “This time for sure!” she yells, trying a second time, but Umesaki escapes into La Magistral. Hanazono reverses the pin, rolls into a handstand reverse crucifix, and hits an Oklahoma Roll for a near fall.
Hanazono goes for the Hazukashi-Gatame a third time, but Umesaki counters with a Solarina, then La Magistral for a two-count. The crowd chants “Momoka.” Umesaki hits an elbow strike followed by a German Suplex Hold for a one-count. She follows up with a sheer-drop brainbuster for a two-count.
She hits the Ume Splash and hooks the leg tightly, but still only gets two. 20 minutes have passed. Taking matters into her own hands, Umesaki finally secures the three-count with a Blast (a modified suplex hold).
Umesaki repels her formidable rival to make her first successful defense.
Following a reverse nomination from Umesaki, a title defense against Rina Amikura is set for September 24 in Shinjuku.
Umesaki takes the mic.
Umesaki: “Haa… That was terrifying (wry smile). I had a zero percent win rate against Hanazono-san, so it’s a huge relief to finally get a win against her with this belt on the line. I want to pay her back for all the times I lost, but I think I’m good for a while (wry smile). But seeing Osso in the ring made me so happy! The next Pro Wrestling WAVE event is in Shinjuku on September 24th, so is it okay if I defend the belt there? Is it alright if I call someone out? Rina Amikura! Aamin-san, you’ve been wrestling in non-title matches all this time; I think it’s about time you get a shot at the belt. How about the day after tomorrow?”
Amikura enters the ring.
Amikura: “I’ve been wanting to beat Haruka Umesaki this whole time. Let’s do this!”
Umesaki: “Then let’s have the title match the day after tomorrow at Shinjuku FACE. Will everyone come to watch? Will you absolutely come see it? Please come the day after tomorrow too! Let’s go! This is WAVE! Thank you very much!”
▼ Backstage
Umesaki: “This was my first title match against Hanazono in singles competition. I also hold the Diana belt, but this is WAVE’s belt, so Hanazono and I talked about doing a title defense that you could only see in WAVE. I didn’t think a real dog would actually show up, so I was pretty confused… but in the end, I think I defended it with a match that felt true to myself (wry smile). She almost put me in the Hazukashi-Gatame, and for a second I forgot who I was even fighting. It’s been so long since that happened to me, I was just genuinely embarrassed (wry smile). Hanazono has even beaten male wrestlers, and she possesses a toughness that I lack, so I’m really glad we were able to wrestle at this specific time. I’ve honestly wrestled Amikura-san so many times in Diana, and since I have the belt now, I figured it would be fine to put one on the line. When I asked if she wanted to do it at the Shinjuku FACE finale anniversary show the day after tomorrow, she gladly accepted. I actually lost to Amikura-san for the first time yesterday, so I need to come up with some countermeasures. With this belt on the line, I’m hoping to show some straight-up, life-sized pro wrestling, so please continue to support me.”
Translation Notes
- “Scissors, Safe!” (チョキ、セーフ！): A charismatic match gesture directly referencing the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors (Janken).
- Solarina (ソラリーナ): A complex, high-speed wrapping pinfall technique frequently utilized by joshi wrestlers to trap an opponent for a flash pin.
- The Last Supper (最後の晩餐): Hikari Noa’s signature leg-clutching pinfall, directly translated here to preserve the specific naming convention of the maneuver.
- “Sarai” (サライ): A famous 1992 Japanese song by Shinji Tanimura and Yuzo Kayama. It is universally recognized in Japan as the traditional, emotional closing song of the annual 24-Hour Television charity telethon. GAMI mentioning it is a comedic mandate for Hikari to finish the match dramatically before the nostalgic closing credits music plays.
- Team NatsuBar / Kabukicho: Shinjuku Kabukicho is Tokyo’s most famous entertainment and nightlife district. Natsu Sumire’s gimmick heavily revolves around hostess bars and nightlife culture, which she contrasts humorously against the daytime, health-conscious fitness aesthetic of Kobayashi and ZONES.
- Kaatsu Training (加圧トレーニング): A Japanese blood-flow restriction training method. ZONES is threatening to make Natsu and YuuRI endure grueling fitness routines while wearing their “nightlife” dress shirts.
- Queen Elizabeth Championship (WWWD): A specialty championship from the World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana promotion that is restricted strictly to wrestlers aged 40 and older. The text notes Unagi Sayaka just turned 40 days prior to the event, immediately making her eligible. Yumi Ohka was forced to drop her surname and perform strictly as “Yumi” after a recent gimmick-stipulation loss to Ken Ohka.
- Rubber Band Attack (ゴムパッチン – Gomu Pacchin): A classic Japanese physical comedy trope originating from variety shows. Two people stretch a thick elastic band between their mouths (or hands) until one lets go, violently snapping it into the other’s face.
- Joumon Toppa (城門突破): Unagi Sayaka’s signature move. It translates literally to “Breaching the Castle Gate.”
- Cavalry Battle (騎馬戦 – Kibasen): A traditional Japanese school sports day game where teams form a “horse” (three people acting as the base) carrying a “rider” on top, who attempts to knock down or steal the headband of the opposing team’s rider. Hanazono forcefully makes the ringside seconds play this game during her outside brawl.
- Hazukashi-Gatame (はずかし固め): Literally translates to “Embarrassment Hold” or “Shame Hold.” A comedic submission maneuver popularized in joshi puroresu that stretches the opponent into a highly compromising, physically embarrassing position (often exposing the crotch/rear to the crowd), focusing on psychological damage rather than physical pain.
- Osso & Electric Dog: Kaho Kobayashi and ZONES’ tag team name is “Osso and Sakura.” Osso is the name of a real dog. The text makes a running gag out of an electronic toy dog walking into the ring during the main event before the real Osso makes a cameo.
