During Kijinan's friendly against Kijikita, Sae's ankle tap on Mitsu Kurodate reveals her opponents fiery temper when she quickly spins and shoves Sae to the ground, earning a yellow card in the process. Having realised that she had gotten under her opponents' skin, she continues to taunt Mitsu verbally to try and get her a red card. Had it not been for Saki Benio and Chidori Kakiha pulling their teammate back, she would have probably succeeded.

She later falls victim to Yuika Mishiro's “muscle reading” ability, after her opponent elects to grab her and pull her down while on the attack, giving away a freekick. According to Yuika, Sae's gluteal muscle is too hard, and her hamstrings and quadriceps need more training. She is later subbed off for Shuna Sorimachi.
