Kosu An was operating with the intent to completely undermine BATTLE's Newcomer King Championship tournament. To her, it was unfair that the title was being decided solely among just four wrestlers who happened to debut around the same time the tournament was held. There were other fighters who deserved the title just as much—if not more. For example, Hanatsuki Nozomi, who debuted too late to enter; Muto Tsugumi, currently competing in Extreme; and Miori Mai. Had they participated, any of them could have very well won. Kosu herself missed out on entering the Newcomer King, B-1, and Extreme tournaments due to unfortunate timing in her debut. What meaning could a championship have if it was only awarded among weaker competitors?
Thus, Kosu devised a plan to hijack the ongoing Extreme Tournament, in which Hanatsuki, Muto, and Miori were already participating. She would take the place of Aizuki Mihō, compete in the tournament, and crown not only the Extreme Champion but also the true Newcomer King. Of course, her ultimate goal was to win it all herself—claiming both the Extreme Championship and the rightful title of Newcomer King.
However, in a recent match, Hanatsuki Nozomi was brutally attacked by Kosu. She was utterly destroyed, and despite having finally graduated from topless matches, her ring costume was stolen by Kosu. Worse still, Aizuki Mihō—the very target she was meant to defeat—was taken from her, leaving Hanatsuki without purpose. The sorrow and hatred she felt now surpassed even the humiliation of her past topless defeat—the day of that crushing ● defeat. Her rage toward Kosu far exceeded even that of Aizuki Mihō or Natsuki Ami, who suffered her own ● loss in her debut match.
Yet this hatred only fueled Hanatsuki’s fighting spirit, reigniting her desire for battle. In her match against Kawagoe Yui, she shocked everyone by retaliating against weapon attacks with weapons of her own—revealing a cruel, vicious side. Still, Hanatsuki is fundamentally a classic babyface wrestler. But now, burning with fury, she will fight unlike ever before. Despite having her ring costume stolen by Kosu, BATTLE provided her with no replacement. Hanatsuki must now enter the ring wearing nothing but her T-back panties—the tragic queen abandoned by fate. What new trial awaits her this time?
