00:01Stardom 5-Star Grand Prix 2026 Red Stars
00:05Deciding Match: Maika vs. Rina
00:22First up, from the blue corner, is Lina's entrance.
00:50Stardom 5-Star Grand Prix 2026 - Today is the final day!
00:55day
00:57The second match is the Red Stars representative selection match.
01:03From the blue corner, in second place in this Red Stars A block
01:11passing
01:12In the final tournament, she first defeated Yamashita Rina, and then
01:19In the quarterfinals, she defeated Konami to advance to this final match.
01:25I did.
01:30Still only 19 years old
01:33If they win this year, they will become the youngest champion in history.
01:39This is Lina Hayto.
01:51Next up, from the red corner, is Maika's entrance.
02:23The debt decided by Uta Chika
02:25And from the red corner comes the winner of Block A of the Red Stars.
02:30past
02:33And in the final tournament, you get a bye in the first round.
02:36And in the second round, she defeated Saya Iida.
02:40We have advanced to this representative selection match.
02:44I am the winner of the 5-Star Grand Prix 2024.
03:03Maika aims for her first championship in two years.
03:07First, we aim to advance to this championship match.
03:19Ohtani, this other representative selection match is also a contrasting 2
03:24It turned into a meeting of people.
03:26I agree
03:27Let's try using mica now.
03:31He's a truly talented player.
03:36It looks pretty intense from the front, doesn't it?
03:39But Lina's momentum right now is incredible.
03:42It's not easy to get that many.
03:44That's right.
03:49Even at last year's 5-Star Grand Prix 2025
03:53Lina has advanced to the final tournament.
03:58And then for another year.
04:01Far from stagnating...
04:02Lina is gaining momentum as a professional wrestler.
04:06We kept raising the bar, too.
04:07That's right.
04:08From the entrance
04:09From the entrance
04:10It's different right from the moment you enter.
04:12He's really grown into an amazing player, hasn't he?
04:19No, but this mica suddenly
04:24How should I put it?
04:25It's time to show the difference in our strength.
04:29That's how it all started.
04:31These two have ended up with a draw in the league match.
04:35hey
04:36Time's up.
04:38The match ended in a draw after the full 15 minutes.
04:40This is a league match between these two.
04:43But Lina isn't just going to take it all for granted.
04:48And Ohtani-san
04:49In 2026, Lina
04:52Kanto Prize and Skills Prize
04:55They've already won the award, haven't they?
04:56So I guess so.
04:59A good player with good momentum
05:01I'll bring everything.
05:04So in that respect
05:05Luck can also be an obstacle to skill, you know.
05:09Anyway, involve everyone
05:11Who will become the summer girl?
05:14These are the highlights of today's Ryogoku Kokugikan.
05:17I brought something out.
05:18They've brought something out.
05:19Isa
05:23No, this Mica is on her right elbow
05:28In order to perform reconstructive surgery on that body
05:30I took a long break last year.
05:34So, that's why you have a weak point.
05:36I'll keep up closely.
05:38So, ideally...
05:40Among the techniques
05:42The key is to target their weak points.
05:44That's probably the theory.
05:46It's definitely hate speech.
05:48Using mistakes or
05:50I just wanted to hurt him.
05:53Those kinds of places
05:54You can catch a glimpse of it
05:55He's just a talented player, after all.
05:58Even if you talk about hate in general
06:00Ultimately, it's the individual players who possess the skills that matter.
06:03While doing what you might call bad things.
06:05Yes, yeah.
06:06Pama gives Haru one point.
06:06Oops!
06:08He immediately grabbed her arm
06:14Wow
06:14How about you, Manaka-san?
06:16Lina's rise
06:18I agree
06:18Overall
06:20I've noticed that he's gotten really big.
06:22On an overseas tour.
06:23I've had a variety of experiences.
06:25It seems like you've grown quite a bit in your social circle.
06:26It's like I've come back
06:27That's the impression I get.
06:28yes
06:30This is, um
06:30Lina
06:32He said that.
06:33From Manaka-san
06:34I hear you're getting some good advice.
06:36Huh?
06:36is that so
06:37Um
06:38The qualifying round was a bit tough.
06:40yes
06:40Let's keep going and win every single match!
06:42yes
06:42If you qualify
06:43Isn't it good to be on a roll?
06:44We talked about that a little bit, but...
06:45I see
06:46Those kinds of words are just...
06:48It must be big, right?
06:49I agree
06:50Um
06:50Standing Up
06:51First of all, at the opening
06:53Black Star
06:54in
06:54I won against the black gold crystal.
06:56still
06:56Defeated by Toranatsuko
06:58They were trailing in losses.
07:00The beginning
07:01That's right, isn't it?
07:01That's why we had a series of matches in the end where we absolutely couldn't afford to lose.
07:04yes
07:04Despite all that, they managed to keep winning, didn't they?
07:06yes
07:06But after that
07:08I beat Aokumitsuki
07:10Pulled up to Mica
07:10Minawa Tomotta
07:11And then I beat Azumi.
07:14I made it through to the Red Stars.
07:18Well, the momentum is really there, though.
07:20I have it, but
07:21There were a lot of tough matches.
07:22So, don't give up!
07:25It's because he stuck to his own style.
07:29That is precisely why
07:30Right now, we're in this ring, aren't we?
07:33yes
07:33On the other hand, there's Maika.
07:34I hope you continue to win as expected.
07:36It seemed like they had made it all the way to the finals.
07:39Maika is aiming for her second victory.
07:44Mr. Hamaguchi, this Rina is...
07:47I'm still only 19 years old.
07:48That's right.
07:50That's incredible power!
07:52I can't believe he's younger than me anymore.
07:57For someone who is considerably younger than me
08:00Quite a bit brazen
08:02Isn't he a junior colleague who seems difficult to deal with?
08:05That's a difficult thing to comment on, isn't it?
08:07Even if you say that...
08:13Well, just like this
08:16They have completely captured the hearts of these fans.
08:18Lina
08:22Ah, that was a lariat, deliberately delivered with his injured right arm.
08:25Wow, that's fast!
08:27But you'll definitely be using your left shoulder strap as well, right?
08:38Both of us have judo as our background.
08:45How do we get the flow going first?
08:52I brought the manju (sweet bean paste bun) with me.
08:58Lina uses this technique.
08:59While carefully removing each piece of mica
09:03Incorporate it into your own style.
09:06He decided the match in one go.
09:07That's fine, but this...
09:08It has the power of mica.
09:10That's right.
09:11It has a lot of energy.
09:12Mica
09:16Oh, this time...
09:19From corner second to misalpick
09:27I guess it's better to do it one by one.
09:29Players who make it this far are
09:32Each one has its own tempo, too.
09:35It has a rhythm to it, doesn't it?
09:37In professional wrestling, you can't move forward unless everything is flowing.
09:40from
09:40yes
09:44Now Lina is covered.
09:51I'm currently on the sidelines for a bit.
09:53Maika's match against Iida in the second round of the final tournament, for example.
09:57It was an incredible match, though.
10:00But the finish was really connected.
10:02The angle of the driver on the road
10:06This was really brutal.
10:08O Double 2
10:10This is also one of Lina's specialties.
10:15Oh, I fired another one!
10:16I fired another shot.
10:16Oh, wait, just here
10:22Maika can't afford to take two hits in a row.
10:30What will they be aiming for from the second corner?
10:34Which side will make the first move?
10:39Now they're exchanging elbows.
10:47Now, it would be advantageous to launch the next move from here.
10:51Don't underestimate me
10:57That's amazing!
10:59A downward elbow strike from above
11:03moreover
11:05Yakka's brainbuster is spectacular!
11:07Everyone, check out Mika's brainbuster!
11:09Flow-type Brainbuster
11:12oh
11:14The height is incredible!
11:17This height and airtime,
11:22One of them is this bracelet called Mica.
11:25It's about appeal in terms of expression, isn't it?
11:27This technique is really amazing.
11:29That's amazing!
11:31yes
11:32However, there's something about Ohtani that I'm a little concerned about.
11:33It seems like Maika has started to worry about her right elbow.
11:38I agree
11:39In Saga, where the wrestlers are
11:40But you'll still use it, right?
11:42I agree
11:43I'll still use it though.
11:45From directly in front
11:48yes
11:50oh
11:50A beautiful victory by ippon in judo.
11:57Not just one beautiful tree, but a truly wonderful one, isn't it?
12:02That's really amazing
12:03Oh, you lifted it up the other way around.
12:06oh
12:07Brainbuster with long air-to-air time
12:09That's intense.
12:10That's intense.
12:10It's really intense.
12:14Right now, this Lina
12:15Momentum and Maika's abilities
12:19Um
12:20As for battle records...
12:22Um
12:23I don't think you can say which is which.
12:26But mentally speaking
12:29For example, two matches a day is no big deal anymore.
12:32I can say I'm used to it.
12:33So, Mika is there, right?
12:35That's amazing, two matches is tough, isn't it?
12:37It's really tough, isn't it?
12:39But even amidst the hardship, I made such discoveries.
12:42It's about motivating yourself, isn't it?
12:44This is what a professional wrestler looks like, right?
12:46Mica
12:47And in the past, they won that battle.
12:50They will reach the top in 2024.
12:52Mica
12:53So, I've had that kind of experience once.
12:56However, that's currently mica's strength.
12:59But Maika also has things she wants to do in the future.
13:02That's why we're going to make a big splash!
13:06That's the feeling I have when I step into the ring.
13:09I know Lina isn't going to be an easy opponent either.
13:13And then there's Lina, too.
13:15Last year, we lost to Atsuko in the semi-finals.
13:18Because we didn't make it to the championship match.
13:22This year, it's even better than that.
13:26Each player,
13:27This summer, I've experienced a lot of disappointment, including from the past.
13:32This year, this year for sure
13:34The 5-Star Grand Prix is all about unleashing your energy.
13:36This is the ultimate summer augmentation.
13:40Now it's time for the Fisherman Suplex Hall!
13:43amazing!
13:45There's a bit of mica damage.
13:47yes!
13:52Well, Ohtani should try to think about the second game as much as possible.
13:56I suppose they'd like to settle this quickly.
13:59Originally,
14:00But after that
14:03I want to finish it quickly.
14:04I was thinking about what to do next.
14:06It will save you from getting lost.
14:12Neither side is backing down an inch.
14:18On the other hand, what Lina said before the war was
14:20All she ever says is, "I'm going to win for myself."
14:24So that's true in the real sense of the word.
14:27It's not about wanting to win.
14:28Are you going to this?
14:31And it's at the top of the corner.
14:33This is the most expensive one.
14:34Earlier I was in second place, but now I'm in the top position in the corner.
14:38No way, I won't let you go there.
14:40Lina won't let you go.
14:41What are you after?
14:43Lina says, "Oh!"
14:47No, just now
14:49My right arm has bent now.
14:52I ended up turning in a direction I shouldn't have.
14:56That was close!
15:00But, you know, Lina's fighting style is like this
15:03It depends on the way you do it.
15:04If we can change the tide, that's all that matters.
15:07See you again!
15:09A second double!
15:11This is going to kill Mika's right arm.
15:15You need to do a good transition move after this, right?
15:19There are many techniques that can only be done by using your arms.
15:22That will seal off that area.
15:24This will give Lina an advantage, won't it?
15:26I dodged the second one earlier, but what about this one?
15:29What are you bringing?
15:31It fell onto my arm!
15:33That's dangerous.
15:37A relentless attack on the arms
15:39My right arm is completely ruined.
15:42Ah! And hydrangeas!
15:47I took it to Hydrangea!
15:54My right arm hurts!
15:56Lina goes on the offensive!
15:57Well, as it is, I've already dropped my tape.
16:05Ideally, by taping, you can reduce the pain at the periapical point.
16:08I'll do it.
16:09Dyne below...
16:12I won't let you get away! You can't take this!
16:14I won't let you get away! Lina won't let you get away!
16:19oh!
16:24Maika managed to escape using all her strength, but
16:32Well, this is definitely going in Lina's favor, Ohtani.
16:37However, Lina also expends energy and stamina, of course.
16:41There's also damage involved.
16:46Now, let's go to the center of the ring.
16:49Now, Lina wants to take this to Pink Devil.
16:53I think it would be quite difficult to turn Mica into Pink Devil.
16:56Oh! It's on the left!
16:58Turn right, then left!
17:04No way, this can't be true, he's crushed his right arm.
17:08Lina never thought she'd end up with a neck hanging like this, did she?
17:13In a counterattack, he delivered a left lariat.
17:21Yes, we were blocked earlier, but now we can attack from this position towards the side.
17:30Are you going to continue?
17:30Shall we go again?
17:31Five stars, stars, stars!
17:33Maika!
17:34Ijino!
17:37Avalanche Brainbuster!
17:44Left, left, left, and then left again!
17:50Having these kinds of options available when you're in a pinch is really important, isn't it?
17:54So this is Maika's experience with Five Star Grand Prix
17:57That's the thickness.
18:00Lina won't be able to win unless she surpasses that.
18:06Now, next...
18:10Jackknife, jackknife, jackknife!
18:22Michinoku Driver 2!
18:26I decided it with a counter-attack.
18:30Alright, let's try again.
18:35One more shot, a consecutive hit on the Michinoku Driver 2!
18:39Five Star!
18:44I returned it!
18:45That's amazing!
18:46Your stamina is incredible, really.
18:48The roar of the crowd in this venue is incredible!
18:54No, even for Mina, losing in front of Manaka is just not an option.
18:59I think there's also a sense of pride in not wanting to go there.
19:00But it really feels like neither side is willing to give an inch, doesn't it?
19:02It really feels like I'm using my full visual capabilities.
19:06Now, next...
19:08Releasing my wrists...
19:10This is great!
19:12Oh...
19:15Conversely, by suppressing them...
19:17Haori hold!
19:18Maika!
19:19Maika!
19:20Maika!
19:21Maika!
19:23Maika!
19:53Maika!
19:56Maika!
19:57Maika!
19:58Maika!
20:21Maika!
20:22Maika!
20:22Maika!
20:22Maika!
20:29Maika!
20:30Maika!
20:31Maika!
20:31Maika!
20:35Maika!
20:37Maika!
20:38Maika!
20:38Maika!
20:39Maika!
20:39Maika!
20:39Maika!
20:40Maika!
20:40Maika!
20:40Maika!
20:40Maika!
