In just over one week’s time Sayuri Namba will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and starting a new chapter of her life in Canada. Before that could happen she got to put together her own special show in order to make some of her dreams come true. But her dreams became under threat when a mystery trio known as BABYDEVIL suddenly emerged promising to crash her show. They weren’t messing because RIKADEVIL was armed with a whip and YUKIDEVIL carried a baseball bat with her. It was up to Mizuki & Suzume to save the day while Namba cheered them on but there was even more trouble caused by TORIDEVIL who was interfering from ringside. The group even got their hands on Namba a couple of times and didn’t hesitate to put her in harm’s way. With BABYDEVIL in complete control, Namba got on the microphone and told everyone she wants to help but she cannot fight pro wrestlers. What she can do though is call out the names of wrestlers with all of her heart to push them forward. With all her might she called out the names of Mizuki and Suzume, giving them the motivation needed to fight back. They caused BABYMETAL to misfire their attacks and hit each other by accident and then wiped them out with Cross Body Blocks. Mizuki then got the pinfall on YUKIDEVIL with the Cutie Special.

Mizuki thanked Namba for all she did to give her team the courage to stand up no matter how scary the situation had gotten. Namba always had the most respect for the wrestlers in TJPW and in return they had the same for her. Suzume said just having Namba around is enough to make her feel safe. She never thought the day would come where they would fight together but she’s happy it happened today. Namba is sure the wrestlers have felt a thousand times more pain than she did today but something about being in the ring today made her feel it even more. With only two more shows left she isn’t going to cry until the end. The moisture coming from her eyes is only sweat.

One of Namba’s dreams was to be a Round Girl one more time so she booked Kazuki Hirata to fight Hideki Sekine in a match that is supposed to have three minute rounds. Sekine ended up choking out Hirata in under 30 seconds. This happened the last time Namba was a Round Girl and she was furious. She told Hirata he hadn’t learned a thing since last time and also told Sekine to read the room. The fight restarted and they purposely paced themselves so a round could end and Namba could do her spot. In the 2nd Round Sekine picked up the Hirata GO! glasses but didn’t understand what they were for so he handed them over to Yukinori Matsui. Namba got angry again, telling Sekine it’s no fun to win normally so he should wear the glasses and dance! Sekine tried but then Namba scolded him for being bad at dancing. Hirata got fed up with Namba’s attitude and decided to side with Sekine and go after her. But Namba ended up slapping everyone to the mat and decided to wear the glasses and dance by herself. The match continued in the background and by the time Namba’s dance had finished, Sekine had again choked out Hirata with a Sleeper Hold.

Namba’s other dream was to announce her high school classmate LEONA for a match so she booked him to take on Antonio Honda. LEONA blocked Gongitsune and hit Honda with one of his own before twisting him over with a Dragon Screw and making him give up to the Figure 4 Leg Lock. After the match LEONA introduced himself to the TJPW audience and explained his history with Namba. He said due to Tatsumi Fujinami being his father and Dradition being a promotion with not a lot of young wrestlers involved, he always felt like he was alone in the pro wrestling industry. So when he found out Namba became a ring announcer in TJPW and another acquaintance of theirs got a job with Shukan Puroresu he was really happy to finally have some friends from his generation working in the same industry. LEONA told Namba that the next time they meet no matter what ring it is in he wants her to call his introduction again.

Part of the show’s selling point was seeing several TJPW wrestlers each take the role of ring announcer for a match while wearing one of Namba’s outfits from over the years. Arisu Endo called Match #1, Namba called Match #2, Raku called Match #3, Pom Harajuku called Match #4, Yuki Arai called Match #5 and Miu Watanabe called the main event. They all got to learn firsthand just how hard Namba’s job is.
