- 20-Minute Time Limit Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (7:24, Izayoi) Yuki Kamifuku & Chieri Sakimori
After the event concluded, a mat was placed on the stage, and the mat wrestling matches began. Chieri Sakimori, competing in her first mat match, delivered stomps under Yuki Kamifuku’s instructions, but was easily caught by the teamwork of the Haruretsu (Spring Fervor) tag team. Still, Chieri fought back with a back elbow and tagged in Kamifuku. Kamifuku went to the outside with Yuki Aino and challenged her, saying, “Let’s decide who the better woman is with alcohol,” as they chugged beers. Yuki struggled with the beer but managed to turn things around with a diving shoulder tackle from the stage. The match came down to Haru Kazashiro vs. Chieri Sakimori, where Haru locked Chieri in a straight armbar. Kamifuku came in for the save, but Haruretsu worked together to eliminate her. In the end, Haru defeated Chieri with the Izayoi.
- 20-Minute Time Limit Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara (11:27, Fisherman’s Suplex Hold) Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki
Hyper Misao took the microphone and declared, “We’re absolutely going to win to take this excitement to the climax!” Following a surprise attack, they immediately spilled into the audience seating area. Shoko Nakajima threw Shion Kanzaki onto a sofa and struck her with a plastic bottle, while Misao applied the Hero Correction System on Suzume and yelled, “Cheers!” Kyoraku Kyomei then held down Suzume, Arisu Endo, and Shion Kanzaki, allowing Wakana Uehara to hit a cartwheel elbow. Taking the fight to the stage, Misao brought out chairs, and Misao, Suzume, and Uehara tried for a call-and-response routine, but Shion stubbornly put a stop to it. Daisy Monkey came to the rescue, rounding up the three on chairs, allowing Shion to successfully execute the call-and-response. Arisu Endo hit Nakajima with a Tsurugajo (Diving Crossbody) off the stage, followed by a running elbow strike to Nakajima while sprinting through the audience. Uehara hit Suzume with a snap suplex. Creating a makeshift platform on the stage, Misao went for “I Am A Hero,” but it was dodged, crashing into Nakajima and Uehara instead. Suzume dropped the Mikazuki Ryuuseigun (Crescent Moon Meteor Shower), shifting the momentum to Nakajima vs. Shion. Nakajima hit a double-arm DDT and attempted a diving senton from the platform, but Daisy Monkey intervened with a deadly drive. Misao and Uehara took them out with a simultaneous Hypami Returns to Arisu Endo and a Sushi Tornado to Suzume. Finally, Nakajima executed a Northern Lights Suplex on Shion Kanzaki to secure the victory.
- Anywhere Fall Six-Woman Tag Team Match (20-Minute Time Limit) Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Toga (13:43, Pinfall) Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Chika Nanase *Daydream Carousel
Not only did this become an Anywhere Fall Match by the strong request of both teams, but a beach volleyball game proposed by Rika Tatsumi ended poorly when the ball was dropped out of bounds. The fight spilled to the outside, turning into a wild scene with water guns, water balloons, and plain water flying everywhere. Miyu Yamashita kicked Toga down against the sofa. Five minutes passed. Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, and Chika Nanase were stacked up, and Daydream hit a counter “Yossha Ikuzo!” (Let’s Go!) Elbow. Following Tatsumi’s command, the match turned into a cavalry battle. “Riders” Tatsumi and Yamashita pelted each other with water balloons. In a daisy-chained figure-four neck lock, Yamashita indiscriminately kicked friend and foe alike through the water balloons. When Yamashita rushed in to deliver a running low kick to everyone regardless of affiliation, she was bombarded with water balloons by the other five. In the end, Miu Watanabe put Chika Nanase in a Giant Swing, combining it with Tatsumi’s hip attack for their “Daydream Carousel” double-team finisher to end the match.
- 20-Minute Time Limit Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku (12:57, Pinfall) Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki *Water Attack
A mini-pool filled with water appeared in the middle of the venue. Mizuki’s team came equipped with floaties and water guns, while Yuki Arai’s team brought buckets full of water. Mizuki’s team feigned a handshake and launched a surprise attack with toe kicks to start the match. Arai’s team swung their buckets, but everyone dodged, and the water splashed into the audience. Shino Suzuki’s sightseeing tour spots involved HIMAWARI or Arai holding buckets, but regardless, both teams were left completely drenched. After an “Oyasumi Express” (Goodnight Express) using the long aisle, the battle finally returned to the stage. After a floatie sword fight between HIMAWARI and Raku, Raku trapped HIMAWARI in a floatie and hit an X-Factor, sinking her into the pool. Mizuki brought out a watermelon and tried to block Arai’s “Finally” with it, but Arai landed the “Finally” right through the watermelon. Mizuki, Raku, and Pom Harajuku grabbed the observing wrestlers and dumped buckets of water on them, then extended a hose from the top of the smoke extraction tower, spraying water over wrestlers and the audience alike before launching a diving body attack. Finally, they dumped a bucket of ice water over Shino Suzuki and pinned her for the win.
After the match, Mizuki took the microphone.
Mizuki: “Yay! Everyone is soaked! Why? What happened to you, Shino Suzuki? We were incredibly blessed with great weather today, thank you all for coming! Did you have fun? I think it was the absolute best way to close out the summer, but why are all those seconds soaking wet? Oh, is it sweat? You worked up a good sweat! That’s wonderful. How was it for you, Raku-chan?”
Raku: “It’s cold. It’s already winter, so it’s freezing…”
Pom Harajuku: “It’s so warm for October, it was the perfect weather to get drenched, absolutely the best!”
Mizuki: “Summer is ending, but autumn, winter, spring, and then summer will come again. It made me realize once again that we all have to stay together for life. Let’s keep spending time together with Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling forever!”
Finally, the six wrestlers closed out the crazy event with a grand finale, shouting, “Thank you very much for today!”
Translator’s Notes
- Izayoi: Haru Kazashiro’s signature move. It translates to “sixteenth-night moon,” but following standard localization practices, it is retained as the romaji “Izayoi.”
- Hero Correction System: Hyper Misao’s signature move, translated literally to capture her superhero gimmick.
- Call-and-response routine: Translated from “コール＆ガンバレスポンス” (Call & Ganbare-sponse), adapting the pun on Ganbare Pro-Wrestling into a standard English concept for readability.
- Oyasumi Express: Raku’s signature train-themed move. “Oyasumi” means “Goodnight,” so it was formatted as “Oyasumi Express (Goodnight Express)” for context.
- Finally: Yuki Arai’s signature axe kick finisher.
- Water Attack: The official match result listed “水攻め” (Mizuzeme / Water Torture or Water Attack) as the winning method, literally reflecting the ice water dumped on Shino.
