On the 7th, DragonGate held "TRUTH GATE" at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

At the Open The Dreamgate Championships held at the main event, Naruki Dio made his first defence against Kzy.
After the match, Susumu Yokosuka of the same Toryumon generation, challenged and the match was decided upon at the 1st March in Osaka. Masaaki Mochizuki then appeared in the ring and said, "The next title match is in Osaka. Korakuen Hall, do you want to see a title match at Korakuen next month?"
Doi said impatiently, "You can't do it four days after Osaka, it is impossible!"
Mochizuki replied, "Don't worry, I am not here to announce a challenge for the Dream Gate", and pulled up his t-shirt to reveal the GHC tag belt around his waist, as the venue erupted into loud cheers.
"I have permission from Noah and Naomichi Marufuji" he said, and requested a GHC tag title match at 5th March Korakuen, with heavyweight opponents, to which R.E.D'S Yoshida and Diamante have made their challenge.


Following this, Mochi wrote on his Twitter, "Business contact, business contact Pro Wrestling Noah Naomichi Marufuji, GHC Tag Championship challenge at the 5th March Korakuen event, Yoshida and Diamante. Thank you."
Marufuji, who had just had knee surgery and been discharged from the hospital wrote, "I am looking forward to it! I am looking forward to it! #I can't walk well yet #Pressure restores me #It is #Marufuji style".
Mochizuki replied, "You will return on the 24th, you are a genius, Naomichi Marufuji, you will be fine!"
Marufuji added, "I am a little impatient because the operation was different to what was planned, but I am relieved that Mochi will do 90% of the action."


Marufuji, who has just had knee surgery plans to return at Noah's Nagoya show on the 24th February. Shortly after that he will have a title match, and we expect amazing resilience from the Genius of The Ark.
