Kazuma

Despite a somewhat unsure and rocky start in the first match, Kazuma successfully managed to pick up the first victory in this series against Sakura Hagiwara. It may have required him to be on the receiving end of a Sakura Special to finally get himself in the right headspace for it but now that he was past the first match, he was going to have to commit to it for Sakura's sake. This next match was a Falls Count Anywhere match meaning that they could take this match anywhere inside, or even OUTSIDE of the arena. This was certainly a bit more rough-and-tumble than their first match but, he needed to believe that Sakura could handle it, lest he be on the receiving end of another Sakura Special.

Once he was done with his preparations, Kazuma made his way to the Gorilla position. Already, he could hear the crowd chanting for Sakura. Taking a peek through the curtain, he could see the arena was a sea of Sakura support with fans proudly wearing her merch and waving banners and support signs. He could also see that in that sea there were some signs cursing Kazuma for what he had done, both in actually striking Sakura and even winning the match over the Sweet Diva Pop Idol. Kazuma sighed, already knowing how they would react when he stepped out first but, this was another thing he resigned himself to and so he would have to accept it.

When Kazuma's intro and music began to play, already the crowd's boos were thunderously loud and when he stepped out it turned even louder! Kazuma made his way down the ramp and found some members of the crowd throwing popcorn at him as they voiced their disapproval. Kazuma was finally experiencing what it was like to be in opposition of a Famous Pop Idol. "Suddenly, feel a bit more sympathetic to those guys in those internet videos where they messed up meeting celebs." Kazuma said as he got in the ring and watched as the arena staff quickly began cleaning up the floor for Sakura's entrance.

Sakura took a deep breath in preparation for her next bout against Kazuma in this best of five series. Admittedly with the way their last match had gone she was a bit unsure of herself and how well she would do. Like maybe she wouldn't be enough or could match up to the expectations. However it was exactly these expectations that made her want to see this through.

After all she had been the one to push Kazuma before in their first bout, and she couldn't allow herself to be the one to back down now. So despite her apprehension, especially with this more rough match type at hand she would take a breath to steady herself, pumping her fists and approaching the entrance ramp with a look of utter confidence on her face, or at least as much as she could muster.

Heading towards the entrance ramp the cheers and whoops of support for Sakura would help bolster the idol and put a more genuine smile on her face as she stepped out from the curtain while her music began playing, coming out and posing for the fans! Immediately they started cheering louder and heavier, already chanting her name as she began to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring.

Running as she neared the half way point Sakura would leap up and through the ropes to land in the ring before popping to her feet and into a pose causing the crowd to cheer once more. Turning towards her opponent Sakura would smile at Kazuma and approach him with her hand out. "Hey Kazuma. Don't expect this to go like last time." Sakura said with a smile yet determined expression on her face.
