On the first night of the Wrestling Dontaku 2018 shows, G.O.D and Fale lost the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship to the Super Villains (Marty Scurll and the Young Bucks). The second night, Tama debuted the newest member to Bullet Club, Taiji Ishimori. Later, it was announced that Tama will be competing in the G1 Climax 28.

At the G1 Special in San Francisco, Tama, Loa, King Haku, Chase Owens, and Yujiro Takahashi defeated CHAOS members Gedo, Yoshi-Hashi, and Roppongi 3K (Rocky Romero, Sho and Yoh), with Tama pinning Gedo after a Tongan Death Grip by Haku to Gedo followed by a Gun Stun. At the end of the night, following Kenny's victory over Cody in the main event, Tama, Loa, and Haku came out to seemingly celebrate with Kenny and the Young Bucks in a show of loyalty, only to attack The Elite, as well as fellow Bullet Club members Hangman Page, Marty Scurll, even Chase and Takahashi, and finally Cody, when they tried to intervene. They then left the ring declaring that they were the true Bullet Club. On January 30, 2019, they lost the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Championship against Ryusuke Taguchi, Makabe and Yano.{{Cite web|url=https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/37890?showResult=1|title = 2019.01.30 Road to THE NEW BEGINNING 2019 Night4 | NEW JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING}} On February 23, 2019, they would regain the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles by defeating Sanada & Evil at Honor Rising 2019: Day 2, starting their fifth reign.{{Cite web|last=Pratt|first=Emily|date=2019-02-27|title=The Best And Worst Of NJPW/ROH: Honor Rising 2019|url=https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/best-and-worst-njpw-roh-honor-rising-2019/|access-date=2021-01-08|website=UPROXX|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=AuthorStaff|date=2019-03-05|title=NJPW & ROH Honor Rising Japan: Night 2 Results – 23/02/2019|url=https://itelemaluwritings.com/2019/03/05/njpw-roh-honor-rising-japan-night-2-results-23-02-2019/|access-date=2021-01-08|website=Ite Lemalu Writings|language=en-NZ}} After defending the championships seven times, their reign would end when G.O.D lost to FinJuice (Juice Robinson & David Finlay) at Wrestle Kingdom 14.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Title Reigns << IWGP Tag Team Championship <<|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=148&page=5&reign=83|access-date=January 8, 2021|website=CAGEMATCH}}{{Cite web|last=Datta|first=Soumik|date=2020-01-04|title=New IWGP Tag Team Champions crowned at Wrestle Kingdom 14|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/new-iwgp-tag-team-champions-crowned-at-wrestle-kingdom-14|access-date=2021-01-08|website=www.sportskeeda.com|language=en-us}}{{Cite web|last=Killam|first=Mike|date=2020-01-04|title=New IWGP Tag Team Champions Crowned at Wrestle Kingdom 14|url=https://www.prowrestling.com/new-iwgp-tag-team-champions-crowned-at-wrestle-kingdom-14/|access-date=2021-01-08|website=ProWrestling.com|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|date=2020-01-04|title=FinJuice def.
