>"I was hit with a plancha backstage, so that turned me on, and I jumped from that height as we had been raising each other's spirits before the match, saying 'let's have a crazy match'. But I had a habit of landing on my hands when I landed, and the impact was so great at a height I had never seen before that it put a lot of strain on my left elbow. It was clearly bent in a different direction, so for the first time in the match I thought 'this might be impossible', but I told the referee that I wanted to continue the match. Even right after my left elbow came off and I couldn't move, I could still hear the crowd cheering for me. I felt that my pride as a professional wrestler would not allow me to stop fighting here for the sake of those who were cheering me on and to challenge for the red belt, but there was no way I could do it, so the referee stopped the match and I was carried away on a stretcher."
>'I was carried out on a stretcher, and after I had been treated and had calmed down a bit, I said to myself, "I'm pathetic as a pro wrestler". It was pathetic that I couldn't get back to the waiting room on my feet after the match was over because I had injured myself doing aerial work, which is my main selling point, while a lot of people were expecting me to do it."
>I logged out of SNS and stopped watching Stardom matches. I couldn't do training because I had to distance myself from a lot of information, and I had a hard time eating in my personal life as well. However, the more I stayed away from wrestling, the more I felt like, 'I love wrestling', and after about a month, I started training again and working towards a comeback."
>The most important thing is that there are customers who are waiting for me. I want to respond to their voices and expectations. Also, I know that wrestling is the only thing for me. By fighting, I feel the meaning of my life. I want to get back in the ring because it's there that I have a reason to live."
