Thoughts: This was mostly Kouki vs Chika here and that went about as well as you would expect. It was a slower match, Kouki and Chika didn't have good looking offense at all and combined with a weak crowd, it was just not that good.

Chika and Kouki fight after and they have to be separated.

Thoughts: It was probably the best thing on here but it was still just an average main event. They didn't go all out to make this special. The fighting on the stage wasn't that good and Misa didn't really add much to this.

Mai and Mirai are given a trophy after. They talk on the mic and close the show.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't a good show. The crowd sucked. Because they had a one night tournament, everyone had to take it easy to get through the matches, so we didn't see anyone's best work. The main was the best thing on here but it was an average main and not worth seeing. Marigold shows without Nanae and Sareee usually aren't worth watching and this was no exception. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and would not recommend it.
