>Toga: This year, with the Class of '24 joining, I thought I’d be able to approach it with a fresh mindset, but it’s kind of surprising to see a familiar face next to me (laughs). (HIMAWARI) made it to the finals, didn’t she? It’s inspiring to watch such intense matches, but honestly, it makes me a bit nervous. Still, when it was announced, I said I’d aim for victory, so I’m only looking towards winning, and I’ll give it my all.
>HIMAWARI: I’m a bit nervous about being in the opening match, but when (Toga) said, “I’m only looking towards winning,” I was like, “Hey, can you include HIMAWARI in that vision too?” I’m going to push forward with that energy.
>Shino: When I heard about the Next Generation Tournament, the frustrating memory of watching the finals from ringside at Korakuen Hall instantly came to mind. This will actually be my first time facing someone from the Class of ’24, so I’m not entirely sure how things will go. But Kira has qualities I don’t have. That said, I believe I also have qualities Kira doesn’t have, so I want to believe in myself and give it my all.
>Kira: This is my first tournament, and Shino and I have never had a singles match. I might lack some experience, but I’ll use my strength to win. I can do it!
