GM Takayuki Yagi just dropped a bombshell on every unit with the announcement of the rules for this year’s edition of the Dead Or Alive Steel Cage Survival match.
This year it will not be hair or masks, but units bonds on the line.
R・E・D, MaxiMuM, Natural Vibes, Tribe Vanguard, & Dojo Mochizuki will each field one member as their representative. In the weeks up to May 6th, each unit will hold an intra-unit tag match to decide their representative.
There will be the usual set of flags set at the top of the cage. The fighter that doesn’t capture a flag will be forced to choose a member of their unit to kick out.
That is not all. Each escaped representative will also gain the optional right to choose a member to kick out. Whether they use this privilege is entirely up to their discretion. Units are encouraged to strengthen their bonds to ensure their representative doesn’t exercise this option.
At Korakuen Hall on April 10th, the MaxiMuM & R・E・D will have their matches to decide their representative.

Hopefully they'll have a successful title defense this time. 
Very good match.
Was waiting for Goto to attack Tana and Okada at the end.
