- The scene following FURY's 2/10 show was a chaotic one, as reporters jammed the halls trying to get an update on the condition of former F-MAX Unified Heavyweight champion, Tetsuhisa NAKAI... Finally, after hours of waiting, Kazuma Fujita finally spoke to the reporters after leaving the locker room. He revealed that NAKAI has been through a tremendous ordeal, but said he would survive, and make a full return to the ring... However, when that will be, is yet to be determined... Fujita condemned the actions of the new champion, Ryo Inoue, insisting that Inoue went too far in the match, simply to antagonize him into a confrontation. Fujita said that tonight was, by far, the worst experience he ever had in this sport, and said that he wasn't sure if he would ever recover psychologically...
In the other end of the building, Inoue greeted reporters to “celebrate” his win. Inoue had with him the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title, but showed no particular fondness for the title. When Fujita's words were relayed to him, Inoue smirked, and said that he did what any general would. He said that he wasn't fooled by Fujita's “injury,” claiming he was using it to avoid getting into the ring to face him. But never the less, Inoue said he would stick around in the FURY ring until Fujita was ready, and said he would take pleasure in “sparring” with more of Fujita's “children.”
- The following day, President Hiroshi Nishida and Hiroaki Nakata held a joint press conference, as Nishida revealed the full card for the 2/21 Korakuen show, while Nakata revealed the card for his “BREAK BLOW Vol. 2” show the day prior, on 2/20.
Nakata spoke on the BREAK BLOW show first, announcing that the main event will pit himself against the man that challenged him on 1/23, CRIMSON's Takayuki Ariwa! Nakata praised the strength and credentials of Ariwa, reminding everyone of the fact that he is currently one-half of the C-1 Tag Team champions with Hiroyuki Takano. He called the BREAK BLOW ring a “dangerous battle field, where anything is possible.” He promised not to take Ariwa lightly, and give him his all.
In the “SEMI BLOW,” DYNAMITE's leader Tatsumichi Akamatsu will make his BREAK BLOW landing, facing another hotblooded individual that not only challenged him on 1/23, but delivered a jarring slap across the face, UPRISER'Z member Manabe Tsuji! Coming off quickly defeating Seiji Sasaki, Tsuji demanded to face the “fabled strength” of the “Supreme Commander.” Lately, Tsuji has been delivering taunting messages via his FURYnet blog, calling himself the “Supreme Captain” to somehow explain his superiority to Akamatsu. We'll see if he can follow through on his words on 2/20.
Nansei Nihon Pro-Wrestling's Shuji Kido will make his return to the BREAK BLOW ring, after petitioning in the press. However, he will face possibly the biggest challenge in his young career, facing one of the strongest Jr. Heavyweights in Japan, Yoshihiro Shimoda! Will Kido's size advantage be enough to overcome the experience of Shimoda?
In other matches, Small Tokyo-based independent group FULL SPEED will send one of its most promising youngsters Masakatsu Irie, who will face the returning Shigeru Iwasaki in what should be an interesting technical battle. In addition, coming off his time limit draw against Yoshihiro Shimoda on the first BREAK BLOW show, CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada will return, facing NEW FORCE member Kazuki Sendo!

Tokyo - Shinjuku FACE (409)
1. 1st BLOW: Kazuki Sendo vs. Akahito Yamada [CRIMSON]
2. 2nd BLOW: Shigeru Iwasaki vs. Masakatsu Irie [FULL SPEED]

4. SEMI BLOW: Manabe Tsuji vs. Tatsumichi Akamatsu [DYNAMITE]

Next, President Hiroshi Nishida revealed the card for FURY's 2/21 Korakuen show. The show will be headlined by Shin Kaiju making his V2 defense of his F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight title, facing the man who pinned him in his return to the Japanese mat, Shigeru Iwasaki! Nishida said that Iwasaki earned the match after not only pinning Kaiju in his return, but pinning Daisuke Iwata on 2/10.
Elsewhere on the card, the semi final will put Hiroaki Nakata, ATSUKA and YAKUTA against UPRISER'Z members TAKU, Mastodon Fukuda, and Kyoto Okazaki in ATSUKA and YAKUTA's first match since the destruction of CHAOTICS. Both will aim to exact revenge against the man who hammered the death blow, Kyoto Okazaki!
Other matches include the two two former CHAOTICS members Kotaro Ota and Fumihiko Shirai challenging the two men that failed to win the PWC Jr. Tag Team titles on 2/10, Etsuya Kawachi and Hidaka Kamon. The two Okinawa Speed Star members will attempt to break out on their own, aiming to overcome the more experienced NEW FORCE tandem en route to earning a possible shot at Jet Jaguar and GALLEON's PWC Jr. Tag Team titles. Can the Speed Stars topple Kawachi and Kamon, or will the former Jet Generation idols get back on track towards capturing the PWC Jr. Tag Team titles?
Finally, as confirmed on 2/10, Tetsujin and Kinniku Nisei will be given one final opportunity to win back their prized mawashi and Kinniku Planet Gyudon recipes from RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji, but at the risk of Tetsujin losing his hair, and Nisei losing his mask! However, Tetsujin and Nisei will both be aided by the veteran presence of Masafuji Yoshida, who even offered to put his hair on the line as well! On the UPRISER'Z side, RYUJI and Tsuji will be aided by Daisuke Iwata.
Mr. Nishida touched on what most had assumed, revealing that Tetsuhisa NAKAI would miss the show due to the injuries he suffered on 2/10, but said he would be ready to return on FURY's upcoming overseas trip in March.

While a full card will be announced in the next week, President Nishida did reveal that FURY's own Norihiro Akashi, who has spent the last month competing with the American independent, will challenge “The Greater” Marcus Dixon for his GSW Heavyweight title!

The only match announced is the main event, as Tetsuhisa NAKAI, Hiroaki Nakata, and a new character will face the UPRISER'Z trio of TAKU, Mastodon Fukuda and Shin Kaiju. President Nishida revealed a picture of a masked wrestler, calling him “Funsha Tianlong.” Nishida explained that the character was based off a popular manga, soon to be an anime in the country, which ties back to Alan Tao, who will perform the theme song for Tianlong before the main event!
