Kenoh appeared at the DDT Korakuen Hall event, and his grudge against Sanshiro Takagi reignited. Kenoh reiterated his refusal to participate in the 6th June CyberFight Festival, and when Yukio Sakaguchi gave his name as a counterattack, Takagi declared a full scale war with Kongoh, and after the event a fourteen man seven vs seven tag team battle was suddenly arranged. 

When Takagi became president of Pro Wrestling Noah in January last year, Kenoh flared up and engaged in a fierce verbal battle. Finally, in June, Kongoh, led by Kenoh, invaded a DDT empty arena show, and a six person tag was arranged. Although Kongoh won the match and there was a tentative end, Kenoh said "I don't match with you assholes, I felt it when I put it together", Takagi said, "We don't care about you guys. We will follow our own path." His and Kenoh's feelings were the same until the end. 

After this, the two did not meet, but when it was decided to hold "CyberFight Festival 2021" (June 6th, Super Saitama Arena Main Arena), Kenoh announced his refusal to participate. Takagi, on the other hand, showed discomfort. 

Today, Takagi appeared in the KO-D 8 man tag title defense match as "Team Thoroughbred" with Yukio Naya, Riki and Yakan Nabe. After a childish fight by bringing in a bicycle against a the four young opponents. Finally, he defeated Nakamura with the sit down Himawari bomb to defend the title. When Takagi left the ring, Kenoh suddenly appeared in a suit. When he faced Takagi he said, "You are only president in name, but I have something to say to you. I want to apologize for the inconvenience caused by being infected with the coronavirus". 

Kenoh bowed and apologized for missing Noah's events. 

Takagi said, "Kenoh, raise your head. Look up. Kenoh, okay, look up." 

But when Kenoh did, he hit him with a stunner. 

Takagi said, "Hey, this is not typical of you, Kenoh. Asshole. In your fucking column in Weekly Pro, you are saying willfully that you won't go to CyberFight Festival on June 6th. Employees and others in the company are working hard on this event, and you saying you won't appear is treating it with contempt, isn't it? Fucking kid. Hey, Kenoh, I will order you as the president to take part. Kenoh, Kongoh, 6th June CyberFight Festival, Saitama Super Arena event. I am ordering you as President to do it."

However, Kenoh, is too stubborn to change his attitude. 

"President of what? You don't think of Noah. You can't think of anything but this filthy ring of DDT, right? CyberFe, CyberFe, CyberFe...CyberFestival, your thoughts have been revealed. Has there ever been a President who can't say "CyberFestival" properly? Takeshita came to Noah yesterday, wearing a dirty t-shirt and with no sense of enthusiasm. It's true. I couldn't even get passionate about fighting you. Marufuji and Sugiura are better at fighting than you guys. It would be more intense to fight GHC Heavyweight Champion, Keiji Mutoh. You guys are doing wrestling like it is part of a once a year school festival, don't do it. It's a hinderance to us. Don't say you are Noah's president. Kongoh, to CyberFestival? Is there anyone who can be an opponent to Kongoh? This filthy DDT ring. Hey, there is NO ONE who can be my opponent! That is why I won't go to CyberFestival."

It was Sakaguchi who responded to Kenoh, and in response Takagi declared a full scale war saying, "DDT is always ready to fight. On June 6th, CyberFight Festival, Kongoh vs DDT. Full scale war!"

In response to this, after the event the fourteen man tag battle of Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Kazusada Highuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okaya vs Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Masa Kitamiya, Manabu Soya, Haoh & Nioh, was announced. Kenoh and Takagi will collide for the first time in a year.
