5. Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuki Arai
A great showcase of Yuki Arai that had a nice build and pace to it, thanks to Rika's craftsmanship. Arai's facial performance shined and she showed great timing in her comebacks. ***1/2
6. International Princess Championship: Hikari Noa (c) vs. Miu Watanabe
This was a great match. Both of them showed the EXP they've gained since their last match over a year ago. Miu's growth has been the more noticeable of the two, with an improved physique and an expanding moveset. However, Hikari has sharpened her core weapons and learned how to use them more effectively. On commentary, Chris Brooks compared Hikari to a fighting game player who spams the same move over and over, which I thought was a good description of her style. I couldn't help but feel they had more to explore, but they put together an exciting match for the time given. ***3/4
7. Princess Tag Team Championship: Magical Sugar Rabbits (Mizuki & Yuka Sakazaki) (c) vs. 121000000 (Maki Itoh & Miyu Yamashita)
An amazing all-star tag team main event, with the elite four of the promotion putting on their best performances. It was also a nice hidden prelude to 1.4, with Miyu and Mizuki building up a singles match in a hot finishing stretch. Itoh and Yuka were also a great combination. ****1/2
