Post-Match: Natsupoi puts a halt to the ‘Final Sareee vs. Natsupoi’!
Sareee: “This might end up being a bit personal between Natsupoi and me, but this is probably the last time we’ll ever fight each other like this as pro-wrestlers in a ring. But you know, it was about 12 years ago, right? We met thanks to pro-wrestling, and I truly believe I was able to work this hard because Natsupoi was there. In our private lives, we can really talk about anything; we tell each other everything. But strangely, it’s always been different in the ring. We’ve never belonged to the same promotion, and we’ve never been regular tag team partners. I met my greatest rival and best partner in the pro-wrestling world, Takumi Iroha. I found them. The fact that we’re standing next to each other like this, I really think it’s destiny. Thank you for letting us fight like this one last time. I’ve talked for a while, but let’s continue to be each other’s greatest confidants. Thank you.”
Natsupoi: “Sareee, thank you. I’ve always received so much from you here at Sareee-ISM, and because of that, it fueled my fire as a pro-wrestler to think, ‘I don’t want to lose!’ and let me charge full speed ahead. This might be the last time I face Sareee in the ring, but can I say how I really feel? …Like hell I’m going to let it end with me losing like this!! I can’t let it end on a loss. This is just how I feel. I don’t know what the company will say.”
Sareee: “Then, can I say how I feel? If you’re going to say that, Natsupoi, I have the absolute confidence that I will never lose to you. Fine, if we’re going to keep doing this until you win, you won’t be able to retire for the rest of your life—are you okay with that? Are you saying this with that level of resolve?”
Natsupoi: “You piss me off. I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I’m going to take a three-count from you and then I’ll retire!”
Anou: “Did you win the ‘Handsome Battle’? Which one of you? Did I win? I didn’t win? I didn’t win? Takumi Iroha, it’s fine. I’ll give you the ‘Handsome’ title. I am taking the ‘Beautiful’ title!”
Iroha: “Yeah, right. That means you’re running away from the Handsome Battle. But you know, when we were standing in the ring and you were being announced… what was it? ‘Absolutely Indomitable Girlfriend’? When I heard that, I thought, ‘Well, that’s definitely not handsome.’ But putting the handsome stuff aside, that was a highly stimulating match today. We definitely have to do it again. And Natsupoi, you said you’ll keep going until you win, but that means you can never retire. But hey, when Sareee-san grabbed the mic, I was thinking, ‘What is this lukewarm promo? Trying to get cheap tears?’ But honestly… sorry, I was just jealous. I’m truly envious that you have a best friend in pro-wrestling. (To Anou) Wanna be besties?”
Anou: “Do you think we’d vibe? Do you think so? I actually don’t have that many friends, y’know.”
Iroha: “Sorry, I don’t need friends. Natsupoi, if you manage to win and properly retire, Sareee and I will firmly lead the very top of women’s pro-wrestling. I’ll also do my best as Sareee’s tag partner. Please keep supporting us. Thank you very much for today.”
Translator’s Notes
- Michinoku Pro (みちのくプロレス): MIRAI repeatedly tells VENY to join Michinoku Pro Wrestling, a historic Japanese independent men’s promotion. This is a comedic nod, referencing an ongoing storyline or inside joke regarding MIRAI acting as an impromptu recruiter.
- Gotai Fumanzoku (五体不満足): Literally translates to “five limbs unsatisfied,” referencing a state of lacking full bodily function. In wrestling, this is the name of a complex, agonizing multi-limb submission hold.
- Kenzan (剣山): Literally “spiked base” or “flower frog” (used in Japanese flower arrangement). In wrestling terminology, this refers to a wrestler raising both their knees to block an opponent’s diving attack, mimicking a bed of spikes.
- Handsome Battle (男前対決): Anou plays on the Japanese word Otokomae (handsome/manly). She jokes about yielding the “handsome” title to Iroha, countering with a pun by calling herself Onnamae (beautiful/womanly).
- Besties/Soulmate (心友): Iroha uses the term Shinyuu, but instead of writing it with the standard kanji for “true friend” (親友), the Japanese transcript uses the kanji for “Heart” and “Friend” (心友), elevating the term to mean a deeply connected soulmate or lifelong best friend.
