Most of the Ares-Original crew are Second and First yeats students (and "remastered" characters like Kira Hiroto, Kiyama Tatsuya and Fubuki Atsuya too) so why not make an U-14 Team ?

This will too give a chance for underrated characters to shine like Amano, Norika, Hades, Shiratori, Yagihara, Sakuraba, Hanasaki, Okuno, Hattori, Orio, Kozoumaru, Sasotsuka, Perseus, Nae, Tanizaki, Okano, Kusaka Gen ... etc There are some OG characters that simply couldn't be left behind, and that's the Raimon trio. It's impossible to imagine them not being selected for IJ.

But L5 is getting rid of them because the main point of Ares/Orion is to introduce new characters and focus more on them than on the OG ones. Also, the Raimon trio would take too much place in the team and it'd be harder to develop some other characters (Nishikage and Saginuma would never see play if Endou stayed for the whole tournament).

I doubt they will be out for the whole season. Gouenji only got injured, he could be the first one to come back. Kidou and Endou, dunno..
