We& #39;re going to go back further this time, back to the days of Stardust Genius Naito.

2013 BOSJ has passed, Hiromu& #39;s gone off on excursion, and Naito& #39;s recovered from his second ligament tear. He& #39;s preparing for his in-ring return, and decides to train with the Young lions.

Naito& #39;s big fan of Young Lions, as we know, and what better way to scrub any ring-rust than with the eager students of the New Japan Dojo?

On social networks, Naito references our boy, Yohei Komatsu. He seems to have taken a special liking to another Young Lion.

Fast forward to the following year, and it& #39;s common knowledge Naito& #39;s accepted Yoh as his second Dojo baby. Yes, Naito 𝘸𝘢𝘴 Yoh& #39;s Dojo dad. It lasted a little over a year and a half.

2015, after a short tour with Ring of Honor, Naito& #39;s gone off to Mexico, joining La Sombra, Rush, La Mascara, and Marco Corleone in Los Ingobernables.

Mid 2015, Naito returns to Japan, and clearly he& #39;s changed, snubbing his own Dojo dad, Honma (𝘦𝘸).

In the following months, Naito& #39;s make it clear he wants nothing to do with anyone from who he was before—Tanahashi, Ibushi, Honma, ect.

Having recruited Evil and Bushi, Naito starts a new faction. Naito says that he chose the two of them because of their long histories together (Bushi his best friend since after highschool, and Evil a good friend since getting into the wressu biz, cheering at Naito& #39;s debut match)

Popular question among fans and interviewers arises: "Will you bring your dojo students into your new faction?"

Naito avoided answering the question directly, never exactly saying & #39;no& #39;. This sparks rumors and speculation. At the same time, Bushi& #39;s been asked about jr Tag league.

Many still don& #39;t know that Bushi was on the shelf since December 2014 Road to Tokyo Dome, with a horrific list of injuries (𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘤 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘧𝘬𝘯& #39; 𝘺𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴).

Bushi was Scheduled to make his return to in-ring action that August (𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘨 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦), but couldn& #39;t do to a collapsed orbital bone floor caused by a freak gym accident.

(𝘹-𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪& #39;𝘴 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘨)

Bushi& #39;s would then miss the Super Jr. Tag Tournament—a tournament fans recognized Bushi for, competing the last three years with a different partner. His new return dated was scheduled for November 21st, 2015 in a match that would pit him and Dorada, against Sho and Yoh.

Bushi would miss that date too, from undisclosed reasons.

(𝘉𝘶𝘣𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓.𝘐.𝘑. 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳.)

December 18th, 2015—everyone thinks they& #39;ve gotten an answer out of Naito concerning his Dojo babies.

After the match, L.I.J were putting the boots to Dorada. Yoh, being a good Young Lion, uses his shirt to cover the unmasked Luchador, when Naito gently, removes him.

Fans were stunned. Moreso when Naito called Yoh to help him backstage suffering a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 rib injury. Naito had kicked and spat on anyone who tried to help him before, outside of L.I.J—his family. Bushi even puts Naito& #39;s precious hat on Yoh.

The next night, December 19th, Naito makes it a point to single out Jamie (𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵), only to shoo and snub him, asking Yoh to hold the ropes for him instead. Yoh survives with a pat on the back to the fans excitement.

And again, after the match, L.I.J is putting the post-match boots to their opponents, and Naito removes Yoh from the situation, leaving the crowd and commentators guessing.

BulletClub had taken a Young Lion, was L.I.J about to? Sho & Yoh were about ready for excursion, and with Fantastica mania a few months away (𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘤𝘰), it would be the perfect time. Yoh wouldn& #39;t have to leave.

New Year& #39;s Dash 2016, Naito& #39;s still making it a point to let the other Young Lions (𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘦) know that Yoh is the only one allow to interact, inciting excited cheers.

In the two weeks leading up to Fantastica mania, Bushi& #39;s been interviewed in a 2 parter. He& #39;s asked about missing Super Junior Tag league, and Bushi says he does want another Junior in L.I.J to tag with come October, deeply disappointed injuries kept him out of the tournament.

Speculations and rumors rose on the internet concerning Yoh, his excursion, and L.I.J. Many assuming, yes, Yoh is L.I.J& #39;s new Junior member. Naito is going to claim his student before excursion and resume his training, and Yoh and Bushi are going to be a tag-team.

January 23, 2016—Night 2 of Fantastica Mania is upon us and fans are waiting for the ungovernable one to sweep Yoh under his wing once again. They& #39;re still on friendly terms, even with Ivan, the CMLL ring announcer pushing Naito& #39;s buttons with a signature 5-minute introduction.

The match ends with L.I.J victorious, but it seems as if Naito& #39;s 𝘚𝘜𝘗𝘌𝘙 𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘜𝘖𝘜𝘚, 𝘚𝘜𝘗𝘌𝘙 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓 rib injury has been aggravated. He needs help backstage.
(n𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘕𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘰& #39;𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪).

January 24th, 2016—The 3rd and final night of Fantastica mania. Fans are expecting L.I.J to make rumor truth at the end of their match. All is going as it should, and two stare downs with Jamie later, Yoh offers to hold the ropes, showing a bit of confidence.

Match ends, Mascara Dorada is on his way out of the door, and excursions impend, but that damn if that rib injury ain& #39;t acting up. A distressed Bushi calls Yoh in for help. Naito awards him with his precious hat and a raise of the arm. Moment of truth and—

Naito hits the young lion with an atomic drop before Evil flattens him with a lariat. The crowd boos as Sho, Jamie, and Finner& #39;s pull their friend apron-side.

Few days later, the second half of the Bushi Interview is posted. Bushi& #39;s asked about a previous comment Naito made "No one gets into L.I.J unless me and Bushi like them." Bushi agrees with Naito& #39;s statement as he& #39;s asked about Yoh. Bushi Laughs (𝘍𝘬𝘯& #39; 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘴!)

He says that Yoh approached him before, wanting to tag together sometime before his orbital bone collapsed and ruined his chance at competing in Super Jr. Tag League. Bushi says he wasn& #39;t opposed to tagging with a Young Lion, just not Yoh. He said that Yoh was harassing him.

Not only did he approach him second time about tagging, too big for his breeches, he was getting too comfortable around him. Bushi comments that though Naito was partly responsible for Yoh, he annoyed him—constantly hanging around him with 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 amount of confidence.

It was arrogant. he didn& #39;t like it. Not at all. He didn& #39;t care that, even to this day, Yoh admires him, crediting him as one of the best juniors of Nooj. Bushi told Naito and they dealt with it—letting Yoh think he was safe before putting the boots to him, too.

Of course Naito was all for it. No one upsets Bushi without paying. They& #39;d put him in his place.

Since then, Bushi has had zero patience for Yoh and his bull shit. Yoh occasionally embarrassing him with ambiguously thirsty comments about his, and I quote, "perfectly curved body"

Their rivalry has devolved to one of mind games—mostly Yoh letting Bushi know he& #39;s still interested, I guess??? flexing his titties at him, annoying/embarrassing him into making mistakes.

I mean, good for Yoh going to such lengths and risking them lucha chops—always staring Bushi down, daring him to go for it.

And now ya& #39;ll know why everyone thinks it& #39;s going to be Yoh jumping ship whenever Chaos has their little spats. Yoh and Naito have history there, and it shows when Yoh channels his inner stardust and moves around the ring much in the same way Naito used to.

And why Bushi still calls Yoh "Komatsu" like he& #39;s still a shitty little young lion, miles behind him.
