Pre-Show: Public Wrestling Sparring & President’s Address
A public wrestling sparring session was held at 5:45 PM, prior to the start of the matches. Eight wrestlers who regularly participate in the wrestling practice sessions hosted by Chihiro Hashimoto—including Manami, Yurika Oka, and Himiko of World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana—participated in one-round, two-minute sparring sessions with the cooperation of the Abe Gakuin High School Wrestling Club.
Prior to the matches, Meiko Satomura and Chihiro Hashimoto addressed the crowd.
Pre-Show Comments
Chihiro Hashimoto: “Good evening, everyone! Thank you all so much for coming out so early today. It has been about a year since we started this activity. A year ago, I don’t think anyone thought we’d be doing public sparring at Yoyogi. I don’t think the fans expected it either. But we were able to make this a reality thanks to Abe Gakuin for providing the space. … One of my dreams is to someday hold a joint event with women’s amateur wrestling and women’s professional wrestlers.”
Meiko Satomura: “Today, Senka Akatsuki was unfortunately forced to pull out of the show after suffering an injury during practice last night, and I deeply apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing her. In her place, Takumi Iroha, the top star of her promotion, has stepped in to compete, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to Marvelous. … I want to bet my life on creating a landscape that you all have not seen yet, and that the wrestlers haven’t seen yet, for Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling.”
Match 1: Tag Team Match (15-Minute Time Limit)
Takumi Iroha & Sora Ayame def. Chi Chi & Reina Takano (9:59) via Elbow Drop
Due to Senka Akatsuki’s injury absence, Takumi Iroha abruptly entered the match, forcing rookie Reina Takano to suddenly face the top star of Marvelous. She teamed up for the first time with Chi Chi, whom she had supported since her days as a fan. After a fierce back-and-forth where Takano managed to land five consecutive dropkicks and Chi Chi unleashed a flurry of offense, Iroha ultimately intercepted Takano’s momentum with a middle kick, dropping an elbow for the victory.
Post-Match Comments
Chi Chi: “I wanted to guide Reina Takano to her first victory, but I really felt a lack of strength on my end as well. I thought to myself today that I’m a really uncool senior. Next time for sure, I will lead Reina Takano to victory.”
Reina Takano: “…Being able to push back a larger wrestler using the tackle I’ve been throwing since my debut match is a big deal to me, and I think it gave me confidence. Most importantly, I’ve been practicing my dropkick, but I’ve been so frustrated because I haven’t been able to knock anyone down with it… That’s exactly why I want to become capable of absolutely knocking my opponent down with a dropkick someday and taking the three count myself.”
Takumi Iroha: “Senka Akatsuki’s sudden absence is a huge blow for Marvelous as well. She’s been rebelling against me, but I’m glad I could step in and have a match in her place here. … [On Takano] She might look weak, but there’s a part of her that is ridiculously strong—that’s what I felt having a match with her today.”
Match 2: Singles Match (10-Minute Time Limit)
YUNA vs. Aya Sakura ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00)
YUNA and Aya Sakura fought each other multiple times last year over the Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling Junior Championship, making this their first singles encounter in a year. The inter-promotional rivals wrestled to a standstill in an evenly matched bout. Amidst a frantic exchange of roll-ups and a desperate strike battle of elbows, the time limit gong sounded, leaving their emotions entirely unsettled.
Post-Match Comments
YUNA: “This feeling of not being able to fully digest it came rushing back—I guess because it’s been a year. … If Aya Sakura is going to be all weak and timid despite being a champion, I really hate that kind of Aya Sakura. I prefer the Aya Sakura with the kind of momentum she had today, so rather than waiting a year, I thought I’d like to fight her in singles matches much, much more.”
Aya Sakura: “A draw is incredibly frustrating, but YUNA has gotten so strong. … I’m so frustrated, but 10 minutes isn’t enough! I want to do more singles matches with YUNA! Whether it’s in Stardom or Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling, I absolutely won’t let it end here.”
Match 3: Eight-Woman Tag Team Match (15-Minute Time Limit)
Miyuki Takase, Hiroyo Matsumoto, ZONES & Yura Suzuki def. Aja Kong, Unagi Sayaka, Shin Sakura Hirota & Sakura (10:30) via Pinfall (Accidental strike)
A chaotic bout defined by friendly fire. After Unagi Sayaka and Yura Suzuki initiated the match, Aja Kong stood like a guardian deity, absorbing blows from ZONES and Suzuki before laying them both out. The climax saw Shin Sakura Hirota’s Tokimeki Memorial attack accidentally strike both Unagi Sayaka and Aja Kong. In the ensuing confusion, Kong brought an oil can down on Hirota’s head by mistake, allowing Miyuki Takase to secure the pinfall.
Match 4: Tag Team Match (15-Minute Time Limit)
Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & VENY def. Manami & Ryo Mizunami (12:50) via Moonsault Press
Following a remarkably long entrance, Kuroshio stalled on the outside, displeased by the loud “Aniki” chants directed at Ryo Mizunami. The bout featured heavy striking, with Mizunami delivering punishing chops to Kuroshio’s back. Despite Kuroshio accidentally superkicking their own partner, VENY, multiple times during pinning exchanges, VENY was still able to execute a Moonsault Press on Manami to end the match. Post-match, a frustrated VENY slapped a celebrating Kuroshio, sending him retreating dejectedly.
Match 5: Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling World Junior Championship (30-Minute Time Limit)
Spike Nishimura (c) def. Miku Kanae (10:40) via Angel’s Wings
Spike Nishimura succeeds in her 2nd title defense.
In her third challenge for the Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling World Junior Championship, Miku Kanae brought relentless offense, constantly countering Spike Nishimura’s heavy blows with technical roll-ups and a springboard missile dropkick. However, Nishimura halted Kanae’s momentum with a brutal counter two-step kick to the face, followed by an Angel’s Wings facebuster to retain.
After the bout, Nishimura declared her graduation from the junior division upon reaching the three-year mark for title eligibility, leaving the belt in the center of the ring.
Post-Match Comments
Miku Kanae: “(Tearfully) I’ve wanted to wear this Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling junior belt for so, so long. … Spike Nishimura’s offense was consistently heavy, and realizing that I still have a long way to go is incredibly… frustrating. But, I haven’t given up yet. … I will absolutely never give up for the rest of my life until I capture that belt.”
Match 7: Tag Team Match (20-Minute Time Limit)
Natsupoi & Saori Anou def. Yurika Oka & Mio Momono (10:07) via Fairial Ring
A high-speed clash that started with a sneak attack by the “Bob Banana Bob Momo” team (Yurika Oka and Mio Momono). The match descended into chaotic brawling featuring fruit props, misdirection, and wild double-team sequences. Oka isolated Natsupoi with a giant swing and multiple brainbusters, but Saori Anou leveled the playing field with an enzuigiri to Momono, allowing Natsupoi to hit the Fairial Ring on Oka for the victory. Post-match, Momono placed a peach headpiece on Anou and a banana on Natsupoi.
Post-Match Comments
Natsupoi: “Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling, the Yoyogi show. Thank you so much for nominating Natsu & Saori. Yurika, Mio. We’ve actually known you two for a long time. Is this the end, huh~?”
Saori Anou: “What was that [headpiece] even about? It’s incredibly embarrassing. Seriously, please delete the footage. … But you know, you never know in pro wrestling. We might say it’s the last time, but there might be a second helping.”
Mio Momono: “…I really think it’s okay to decide that we’ll make this tag team the number one team in Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling, even while we struggle. This time, I feel like there’s still more to come with Natsu & Saori and Natsupoi. And Saori Anou—there’s still more to come with her too, right?”
Match 8: Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling World Championship (30-Minute Time Limit)
Chihiro Hashimoto (c) def. Mika Iwata (21:15) via Albright
Chihiro Hashimoto succeeds in her 8th title defense.
This marked the first Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling World title match between Chihiro Hashimoto and Mika Iwata since last September. Iwata, who entered looking darker and more intense than ever, targeted Hashimoto with ruthless kicks and a deep triangle choke. Hashimoto absorbed immense punishment—including a ringside brawl and a vicious Raion head-kick—but survived Iwata’s Buzzsaw Kick.
The arena erupted in massive chants for Iwata, but as she went for a superkick, Hashimoto caught her and secured her record eighth title defense with an Albright suplex.
Post-Match Comments (In-Ring)
Chihiro Hashimoto: “(Tearfully) No matter how much you kick me, your very existence truly pisses me off. … But Mika Iwata has always been special to me. I think Mika Iwata and I are probably soulmates. But because I won today, the fans are getting excited wondering, ‘When will Mika Iwata finally beat Chihiro Hashimoto?!’ … The next time you stand before me, you better have immense resolve.”
(Mika Iwata slaps away Hashimoto’s handshake and exits. Spike Nishimura enters the ring to issue a challenge.)
Chihiro Hashimoto: “Spike Nishimura, we had a singles match in May this year, then three months later… and now another three months later? … Let’s do it on October 10 at Sendai Sunplaza. … I believe that battling over the promotion’s top belt amongst ourselves is the shortcut to the Nippon Budokan. … I was told by various wrestlers in the back: ‘We don’t want to see Hashimoto win anymore.’ Words like that are what motivate me, so no matter what it takes, I will keep defending this belt all the way to the Nippon Budokan.”
Post-Match Comments (Backstage)
Chihiro Hashimoto: “Even with that opening low kick, the last time I felt one that painful was from Meiko Satomura. … Hitting Mika Iwata with a German Suplex was pulling out my trump card. I know about Iwata’s neck injuries, and it’s been 8 years since I’ve used it on her. I felt I couldn’t win unless I threw that move out. … (On her new costume) After thinking about dialing it back to something simple for a bit, I went with a slightly near-future image, an image of space… I want to be at the cutting edge of the pro wrestling world in fashion, too.”
