On December 23, after Eita lost to Dragon Kid, Eita refused to have his hair shaved, claiming that Kid cheated, so he didn't have to cut his hair. He tried to leave the arena with the rest of R.E.D, but the Dragon Gate Roster would prevent them from trying to leave the arena and Eita ended up getting to the ring. Kid would call out an injured Punch Tominaga to cut his hair. After Kid and Tominaga cut his hair, Eita would strangely start praising Kid, Shimizu wondered what he was saying, but Eita kicked him. he picked up the Open The Brave Gate Championship and said it was time to give it back to the rightful owner, afterwards he smashed the title in his head and destroyed the belt and attacked Tominaga's injured leg. Following that, on February 10, Eita accidentally hit Ben-K with a chair, leading to U-T to win. Shimizu would blame Eita and ask for an explanation. Eita refused to take any blame claiming instead that they were the ones in the match. Following the Champion Gate in Osaka, Ben-K and Shimizu retained their titles, following the match, Eita reminded their usefulness in the unit, claiming that had no problem kicking them out if they were dragging him down.

Meanwhile, throughout the year of 2018, following the Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival, Dragon Kid and Kaito Ishida would try to join MaxiMuM, on August 19, with Kid and Ishida saving Doi and Yoshino from an attack by the former ANTIAS (now R.E.D), Kid and Ishida would talk about why they are "joining" MaxiMuM and would talk about possible tag team names while they said that were not part of MaxiMuM and considered them fans of them. After that, they would do the 1st Finger gesture but they were denied. Following on September 6, after Ben-K betrayed MaxiMuM, Kid and Ishida got involved but Doi would tell that it was none of their business and got into a back and fourth argument. Yoshino would tell to follow Dragon Gate's official Twitter account on more about the sitiuation.
