Chronology
After winning Global Junior Tag League, Kotaro Suzuki won the right to challenge Daisuke Harada for the title, which he did on the 30th October. He ended Daisuke Harada's long reign of 394 days. Dismissing other challengers for the belt as being "in short supply", he left the ring without nominating anyone, but later said he wanted to defend it against Naomichi Marufuji (who has long turned heavyweight). Marufuji said that he wasn't interested, and he was proud of Noah juniors. He wouldn't be challenging "now", and that he had stayed to look after Noah, while Kotaro Suzuki, had left.
Tadasuke said on social media that he would be challenging for the title.
VS HAYATA
After Kotaro Suzuki won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, the remaining members of RATELS all wanted to challenge, and so they met with Noah management to nominate a challenger. HAYATA, was felt to be the best out of the three (or maybe YO-HEY knew it was best to give him his own way). The match has been set for the 17th November.
Marufuji said that both HAYATA & YO-HEY had high potential as juniors, and greater potential than he had when one.
Kotaro Suzuki, however, is not happy with it; he wants Marufuji and has said he is unhappy with how this has been decided and said that HAYATA is being sacrificed through his (Marufuji's) selfishness.
The match signing was held on the 8th November.
Kotaro Suzuki actually turned up for it, probably knowing that HAYATA wouldn't have cared either way, and said "I have attended this time, there are many things I would like to say, but saying nothing means that you will express everything in the ring. That is the most difficult part. I expect that is what the challenger will show."
HAYATA of course refused to say anything, and I think Kotaro Suzuki is unnerved by this, as he likes to get under his opponents skin.
In their first match on the 8th November, HAYATA outmaneuvered Suzuki, and afterwards told him that "Same, in Osaka".
The fans are all rooting for HAYATA to bring the belt back, which is a paradox; Kotaro Suzuki is Noah born, HAYATA is not, but as Kotaro Suzuki walked out of Noah, HAYATA is now considered to be more Noah that he is.
On the 12th November in Hiroshima (a city that HAYATA has ties with, and many RATELS fans in the crowd were wearing RATELS jackets), Suzuki defeated HAYATA with the Tiger Driver in an eight man tag match. Triumphant, he stood on the ropes holding the belt up to Daisuke Harada and the crumpled challenger.
By the 16th November, the eve of the title match in Osaka on the 17th (HAYATA having ties to Osaka and having a "geographical advantage" which Suzuki called "bullying"), HAYATA and Suzuki were both drawn at one win each over each other, the rest of their matches had been tag matches.
SHOWDOWN IN OSAKA
Kotaro Suzuki warned that "The Headache" might be HAYATA'S trump card, but he had one too, in fact because he was a veteran, he had many and he would bring them to the match.
Crowd were on fire and banging their feet on the ground from the start to the end of the match, but sadly HAYATA (although he used a lot of aerial maneuvers, and at one point using a top rope moonsault to the outside), fell beneath one of Suzuki's many finishing moves (the "Mass Driver").
Tadasuke challenged for the belt next.
Title challenge has been set for the 25th November.

Tadasuke said on social media that he would be challenging for the title.

VS TADASUKE
Naomichi Marufuji commented "There is no relationship between youth, career and ability. The Noah Jnrs have had their treasure taken, and there will be no gap between the battering.
There is just one reason.
"Getting back to being a Noah Junior"
That's fine. What if Miyawaki raised his hand?" He also added in case Kotaro Suzuki decided to start whining about making two title defenses in eight days, "also, when I took a certain belt, I made defenses within five days"
After defeating HAYATA, Kotaro Suzuki made another plea to Marufuji to face him for the belt, using very polite and honorific language;
Although Marufuji has not responded to this yet, Tadasuke's response to "this nonsense" was to say that if Suzuki wants to face Marufuji so badly, then he should hold his own produce and do it then, and not expect Noah to do it.
Due to Kotaro Suzuki's (unwelcome) influence, the group of Seiya Morohashi, Hi69, Minoru Tanaka and Yoshinari Ogawa fell apart, and they turned on each other on the 21st November. During the melee, Tadasuke took the chance to sneak pin Ogawa.
Kotaro Suzuki was not impressed by this and warned Tadasuke in a post match interview that he did the wrong thing by attacking "my senior". That came with a price, and Tadasuke would have to pay, which would involve Suzuki beating him down.
Noah held the match signing for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship on the 23rd November 2018 at Yokohama Radiant Halls.
Tadasuke said he would approach the match with a clear head, while Suzuki merely said he would wrestle as he had always wrestled. Whereas HAYATA might have unnerved Suzuki a little as he couldn't provoke a response out of him, Tadasuke can be just as sneaky as Suzuki can be.
With HAYATA in Zero-One, Tadasuke, Daisuke Harada and YO-HEY (so far the only one who has not challenged for the GHC Junior Heavyweight), came out showing solidarity by playing "Africa" by Toto (which is their iconic theme). Yoshinari Ogawa (who hates RATELS anyway), stood and glared at Tadasuke, and then worked on his arm during the match with all the horrible maneuvers that he knows. The win was got by YO-HEY on Junta Miyawaki, meaning that when they meet on the 25th, neither of them have gotten the win over each other in any of the pre-matches, although Kotaro Suzuki did get the win over Tadasuke during Global Junior League.
Things came down to the wire on the 25th November at Korakuen Hall. Suzuki pulled everything out that he had against Tadasuke, with Tadasuke standing up to everything except the Javelin, which enabled Suzuki to get the pin after 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
VS DAISUKE HARADA
After helping YO-HEY & HAYATA roll Tadasuke out of the ring, Daisuke Harada got in, and asked Suzuki for a rematch for the title. It has not even been a month since Harada lost it.
Suzuki told him that yes, he could have a title match again, but he had to agree to two conditions.
If Harada loses, then he must break up RATELS, and he must also shave his head in shame.
Harada accepted.
They had a tag match on the 7th December 2018 when "Winter Navigation 2018" started, but it was dominated by the match between Kaito Kiyomiya (who Harada was tagging with) and Takashi Sugiura (who Suzuki was tagging with), earlier in the evening, Noah had held the match signing with Harada saying he would beat Suzuki until his strength gave out, and Suzuki saying that Noah's old man remains, but will Harada? He is Noah born, Harada is not, and he will make him remember that in the ring. However, the ring, neither got the pinfall on the other in the tag match and Suzuki later commented that pre-matches were pointless, he had already beaten Harada twice. He also said again that he was Noah born, Harada wasn't and that Harada had simply come in and taken his empty place, and now he thought he was one of them.
Suzuki is coming across as being very jealous that Harada is considered to be one of the home side of Noah by the fans, while he, Noah born and with the belt, is not.
On the 9th December, Harada fought like a demon, and then stood staring at the back of Suzuki's head as he left the ring, again they were at a stalemate, neither of them getting the win over the other.
They met for the title on a rainy day on the 16th December 2018 at Noah's last big event of the year. Kotaro Suzuki had made a cryptic comment beforehand about Harada being his "puppet" and how a beautiful plan that he had that was coming to fruition.
Daisuke Harada and Kotaro Suzuki pulled out the match of their career, and when they had bought everything out of the box they turned it upside down and got the pieces that where stuck in the bottom, but in the end, Harada was victorious with the Katayama German Suplex.
Then what is known as "The Yokohama Incident" occurred.
RATELS, joyful at not being broken up, went to celebrate with Daisuke Harada, when YO-HEY hit him with a chair, and aligned himself with Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinari Ogawa (who had come out to second Suzuki, which is something Ogawa seldom does). YO-HEY got on the microphone and told the fallen Harada that he would be challenging for the GHC Junior Heavyweight next, and walked off with Ogawa and Suzuki.
There is just one reason.
"Getting back to being a Noah Junior"
That's fine. What if Miyawaki raised his hand?" He also added in case Kotaro Suzuki decided to start whining about making two title defenses in eight days, "also, when I took a certain belt, I made defenses within five days"
"Marufuji, I do not wish to trouble you, but I would like you to reply as soon as it (Global League 2018) finishes. Please, older brother, this is a sweet request from a sibling pupil to a senior. I am waiting for it, and I know that I have to make sure not to overstep the mark. I appeal to your feelings as an opponent for an "epic battle".
