29th January 2025

On January 1st at the Nippon Budokan, Eita captured the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship from Daga, prompting HAYATA to step forward as a challenger. The following day, January 2nd in Shinjuku, HAYATA secured a direct victory over the new champion in a six-man tag team match by forcing a submission with an armbar, setting the stage for a title bout in Osaka on January 25th.

The road to Osaka had begun. 

At Korakuen Hall, Eita countered a moonsault press—launched by HAYATA from the second turnbuckle, by raising his knees, then immediately pinned him with a la magistral cradle. Amidst the intensifying factional warfare within Noah, the champion—having settled the score from Shinjuku, declared, "The junior division is heating up, too!" as he looked ahead to their decisive showdown.
