Tam Nakano, Natsupoi & Saori Anou vs. Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara
The "Tropical Audition"-gumi have clearly benefited from training together. Their coordination was excellent. Even more impressively, they expressed their struggles well through their wrestling. This arc was a great nourishment for Sayaka Kurara and Aya Sakura, who has completely made up for the time she missed due to injury. Yunamon also benefitted, showing her leadership skills and proving herself indispensable to Kouzen. The match was emotional and fast moving, an amazing climax to the story. ****
Hanan & Mayu Iwatani vs. Giulia & Syuri
This started off with playful freestyling, but gradually grew more intense and competitive. A perfect blend of fun and serious wrestling. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, especially the callbacks that longtime fans will appreciate. Giulia and Hanan's backdrop exchange was strong, with Hanan's finishing backdrop landing at the last possible second. It made me think of Giant Baba's words, if a match ends in a draw, the wrestler who had the initiative at the end is the winner in the eyes of the viewer. This match served as a farewell for Giulia while also creating anticipation for the future by showcasing the young Hanan. ****
