- FURY returned to the hallowed sanctuary of pro-wrestling, Korakuen Hall. In front of a capacity crowd, a #1 contender to Naoki Fukuda's F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title. But first, the show opened with a short, but spirited match as Naoyuki Watanabe and Kazuki Sendo of NEW FORCE faced the Young Lion team of Mamoru Sekishima and Tetsujin. Sekishima and Tetsujin were competitive early on, mostly due to the size and power of Sekishima. In the end however, it would be Kazuki Sendo who would surprise the much bigger Tetsujin with the 322 Clutch to secure the pinfall victory for his team.
- Up next was a special singles match pitting Tetsuhisa NAKAI's protege Ryuugo Nagashima against UPRISER'Z member Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji had the advantage early on due to his reckless heel style, leaving Nagashima little opportunity to fight back. Finally however, Nagashima was able to come back with a flurry of elbows, before scoring a near fall after a frog splash. Nagashima however went to the well once too often after attempting a second frog splash, allowing Tsuji to get his knees up. After a brutal spear to the midsection, Tsuji hoisted Nagashima up, before plowing him into the mat with the Guts Coaster for the three count. Despite the loss, Nagashima earned good marks from the fans for his Burning Spirit.
- UPRISER'Z continued to win in the following match, as the trio of Daisuke Iwata, YAKUTA, and RYUJI defeated the NEW FORCE team of Akira Takayoshi, Etsuya Kawachi, and Hidaka Kamon. The match was fierce competitive until RYUJI hit Kamon with a low blow, allowing him to scoop him up and drill him into the canvas with the Tombstone Driver, giving UPRISER'Z the victory.
After the match, it was formally announced that FURY would bring back “THE VERDICT” unit survival match for the 2/26 Fukuoka International Center card, where teams representing the four primary factions within FURY: NEW FORCE, REAL-ONE, OOINARU WAZA, and UPRISER'Z, with the last team eliminated being forced to disband. Daisuke Iwata noted that last year, it was them that forced CHAOTICS to disband (which Iwata apologized to YAKUTA for...) and said that they would do it again to one of the three other factions. Akira however rebutted, saying that 2/26 would mark the end of UPRISER'Z once and for all. Iwata smiled, and told Akira to try his best.
- “THE VERDICT” Unit Survival match was also brought up following the next match, as REAL-ONE defeated Ooinaru Waza in a pitched eight man tag. Fukuda said that due to his F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title match that night, he would be unable to represent REAL-ONE in the unit survival match. However, he said that he would place all of his faith into Jun Kobayashi, naming him the leader of REAL-ONE for that night. Kobayashi thanked Fukuda for believing in him, and vowed that REAL-ONE would live on well past 2/26. Kayusa also spoke, saying that the uncertainty of the match made him uneasy. He vowed that Ooinaru Waza would fight with everything it has to continue existing.
- Next, we had what would be Kazuma Fujita's final match as a FURY wrestler, as he and Masafuji Yoshida faced Hiroaki Nakata and Tetsuhisa NAKAI. All 2,350 fans gave Fujita an overwhelming ovation, nearly bringing Fujita to tears as he came to the ring. NAKAI however appeared to have no sympathy for his mentor, as he attacked him before the bell, garnering a loud round of boos. The match went back and fourth, with Fujita and Yoshida proving to be a very good team. In the end however, NAKAI would manage to stun the Korakuen fans after giving Fujita three lariats, before finally spiking Fujita on his head with the MAX BULLET to give he and Nakata the victory!
After the match, Fujita was met by most of the FURY roster in an emotional scene. One-by-one, each wrestler handed a bouquet of flowers to Fujita. That was until NAKAI stepped forward, as he SMASHED his bouquet of flowers over Fujita's head! On the microphone, NAKAI called Fujita “pathetic,” and said that he was “bored” of being a hero to the Japanese fans, and needed to “validate himself” in the United States as a “fake pro-wrestler.” The notion that Fujita was “fake” was enough to sent Fujita into a rage, forcing all of the wrestlers to keep both Fujita and NAKAI apart. NAKAI finally challenged Fujita to defend his and Keiji Takano's F-MAX Tag Team titles against he and Hiroaki Nakata. Fujita accepted, making the match official for the 2/26 Fukuoka International Center show. However, Fujita said that he would return to the FURY ring as a “Defiance Wrestler,” and would show NAKAI the strength of a “fake pro-wrestler.”
- Over the last couple of months, a fierce generation rivalry has been forming within FURY's Junior Heavyweight division, pitting the first generation wrestlers ATSUKA, Yoshihiro Shimoda, Kyoto Okazaki, and Nobusan against the new generation wrestlers, F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Jet Jaguar, Kotaro Ota, Fumihiko Shirai, and first generation sympathizer Shigeru Iwasaki. Tonight, that rivalry came to a head in a fierce eight-man tag elimination match. The new generation team aimed to make a statement immediately, as Kotaro Ota managed to hook Shimoda in his Michelada cobra triangle, forcing him to submit just five minutes into the match! The first generation team however managed to even it up about five minutes later, as Kyoto Okazaki small packaged Shigeru Iwasaki after a blatant low blow behind referee Akinori Fuwa's back. Just four minutes later, Nobusan helped to give the first generation team the edge after pinning Fumihiko Shirai following a nasty Brainbuster. Minutes later, Kotaro Ota was faced with a fierce battle against his former mentor ATSUKA. It had appeared that ATSUKA would be able to finish Ota, only for Ota to break free, and knock out ATSUKA with the Satsugai savate kick, making it a two-on-two situation with Jaguar and Ota against Okazaki and Nobusan. Unfortunately for the new generation team, Nobusan would eliminate Ota after a Brainbuster, followed by a Firebird Splash, giving he and Okazaki the two-on-one advantage against the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Jet Jaguar. Jaguar did his best against the odds, and came close to pinning Nobusan after throwing Okazaki out of the ring. However, Okazaki would quickly return, before giving Jaguar the Otokogoroshi for the final elimination!
After the match, Okazaki mocked Jaguar, saying that tonight proved that the first generation was the strongest. Okazaki then corrected himself, saying that they couldn't truly prove that until the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight title was lifted from Jet Jaguar, and announced that he was cashing in the title match he earned on 12/21, and would challenge Jaguar for the belt on 2/26. Kotaro Ota returned to the ring as well, demanding a match against Nobusan on 2/26. Nobusan refused, saying he had no interest in a singles match. However, he would be glad to face Ota in a tag. A six-man tag was made for 2/26, with Yoshihiro Shimoda, ATSUKA, and Nobusan on one side. Ota and Shirai both asked Iwasaki to team with them. Iwasaki however politely refused, saying his focus on 2/26 would be the Unit Survival match. Ota agreed, and apologized. After a couple of moments, Shirai took the microphone, and said he had a partner in mind...
- Finally, we would see just who would face Naoki Fukuda for the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title as Masato Osagawa battled his former UPRISER'Z comrade TAKU under the confines of a No DQ rules match. Given such, it was no surprise when the match immediately got out of hand, with both men fiercely going at it outside of the ring, and into the crowd. TAKU sent a pack of fans scattering from their seat, before throwing Osagawa into a fleet of empty chairs. Those same chairs were then piled up on each other, with TAKU attempting to suplex Osagawa onto them. Osagawa however blocked TAKU's attempt, before using his strength to lift TAKU up, before dropping him on the chairs. Osagawa showed a mean streak that hasn't been seen since he unmasked as Shin Kaiju, as he used the time keepers hammer to bust TAKU's forehead open. Minutes later however, TAKU returned the favor after sending Osagawa crashing head first into the steel ring post, opening up a laceration on his forehead. After the eight-minute mark, the two finally returned to the ring after TAKU used the Jackhammer to score a two count. With the help of UPRISER'Z, TAKU soon had a table propped up in the corner. He tried to send Osagawa into it, only for Osagawa to counter. TAKU however managed to stop himself just before going into the table, only for Osagawa to spear him, sending both he and TAKU crashing through the table! After recovering, Osagawa went for the cover, only for YAKUTA to pull referee Edd Sasaki outside, breaking up the count! As Osagawa leaned over the ropes to scream at YAKUTA, both RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji attacked from behind, with Tsuji giving Osagawa the Guts Coaster, followed by RYUJI connecting with a diving headbutt. The two pulled TAKU across Osagawa, before throwing Sasaki back into the ring. Edd however, seeing the blatant interference REFUSED to count, earning a GIGANTIC reaction from the Korakuen fans! After being bullied into the corner by RYUJI and Tsuji, Sasaki finally reluctantly began to count, ONLY FOR OSAGAWA TO KICK OUT AT 2.5! Moments later, TAKU tried to finish Osagawa with the Chojin Bomber. Osagawa however ducked the attack, before cradling TAKU with a crucifix hold, NEARLY PINNING HIM! With blood pouring out of their heads, the two raging bulls faced off in center ring, testing each others spirit with headbutts, opening their wounds even more! TAKU later went for a lariat, with Osagawa countering with a Death Valley Bomb! Osagawa followed up with the Diving Body press, with TAKU kicking out at 2.5. Osagawa then connected with the Kaiju Lariat, securing yet another near fall. Osagawa tried to finish TAKU with the Last Ride, only for TAKU to struggle, buying time for Kyoto Okazaki and ATSUKA to interfere from behind. Finally however, Osagawa would be given some aid as Jet Jaguar, Kotaro Ota and Fumihiko Shirai ran in, taking Okazaki and ATSUKA out with dropkicks, sending them flying over the ropes. As both got to their feet, Fumihiko Shirai came leaping over the ropes onto the two with a tope con giro! Back in the ring, Osagawa laid TAKU out with a flurry of Kaiju Hammers, before climbing to the top once again. However, as he went for a second Diving Body press, TAKU managed to get his knees up, allowing him to nearly take Osagawa's head off with the Chojin Bomber! Much to TAKU's chagrin however, Osagawa still managed to kick out of the pin at 2.9! Finally, TAKU managed to raise Osagawa's body up in the corner, before cradling both of his legs overhead. After slowly walking towards center ring, TAKU finally delivered the Kinniku Buster, SPIKING Osagawa on the top of his head. TAKU went for the cover, forcing Referee Edd Sasaki to count the three count.
The fans applauded Osagawa's efforts after the match. TAKU even praised Osagawa afterwards, but said that tonight he wasn't good enough. TAKU officially announced himself as the #1 contender, and said it was poetic that he would be facing his former partner in such an important match. This brought Naoki Fukuda himself out to face his 2/26 challenger. TAKU surprised many in his tone, almost addressing Fukuda with a sense of respect. He praised Fukuda for breaking out as a singles wrestler, and called him the “strongest wrestler in FURY.” However, TAKU promised to do everything in his power to become champion. Fukuda offered a handshake, but that appeared to be too much for TAKU, who refused. As Fukuda left the ring, Iwata took the microphone and appeared to take notice of TAKU's demeanor. He told TAKU that he hoped he wasn't having “feelings of nostalgia.” TAKU appeared to be insulted, and said that Iwata and the others had enough to worry about with the Unit Survival Match. Iwata fired back, giving an ominous warning, saying that regardless of the outcome of that match, if TAKU failed to win, they may need to find a new leader... The rest of UPRISER'Z left the ring, leaving TAKU alone. TAKU said that Iwata's threats weren't warranted, and vowed to become champion on 2/26.
- Up next was a special singles match pitting Tetsuhisa NAKAI's protege Ryuugo Nagashima against UPRISER'Z member Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji had the advantage early on due to his reckless heel style, leaving Nagashima little opportunity to fight back.

Despite the loss, Nagashima earned good marks from the fans for his Burning Spirit.

The match was fierce competitive until RYUJI hit Kamon with a low blow, allowing him to scoop him up and drill him into the canvas with the Tombstone Driver, giving UPRISER'Z the victory.
