They are in Tokushima and the building must have no AC. Everyone is fanning themselves and soaked with sweat. And this is Japan - Japanese people have a high tolerance for warm temperatures, so it must be bad there.

Thoughts: It was a good match here. They got a lot of time for this. We some outside brawling, we got some weapons usage, we got some stiff work and Chiaki got busted open here. It was easily one of Marigold's best matches to date and was a huge step above their usual offerings. 

Giulia talks to Mai and then Nagisa/Chiaki on the mic after. Nagisa talks to Giulia on the mic then Chiaki talks to Giulia on the mic. G then talks more on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. There were only 5 matches here and a lot of the roster was missing for this one. The main was one of Marigold's best matches yet and the semi-main was good. Myla/Zayda had a competent match and there were some things like to like about Nao/Chika. The opener wasn't good though.
