Yeah, I also thought about that. Ares could be an attempt to attract a new audience.

But we shouldn't expect it to be that much darker, edgier, etc.

Eh, It's still a kids show. With all this talk of any inkling of a darker inazuma, what does everyone think Ares/Scales of Ares is exactly? Both the trailers have said that it will either change history or the world, Yuuma says he'll show the power of ares, and there's talk about candidates for the Ares cluster, not to mention Kageyama's return because of the ares rehabilitation program. I'm thinking it's some government-like program with probably some other expermentiation like the RH program from season 3. Could it be the key to a darker story?

Well, let's see, some people thought that it's directly related to the Eleven Band or whatvs it's called.

IMO, that device might be part of the Ares project, but "not the main part of" or the project itself.

Yes, you have Yuuma saying that, and later you can tell he doesn't like to play like he does. He's prob being controlled to show results of his power or he's being tested to see how far one can go with training, programs, devices, etc. Kinda like that SEED/RH thing again, but in a different way.

Here's my theory, it will be about how the victory of somebody affects the defeat of the other. And who's considered worthy or not to play soccer [I actually made a post about this way before the sponsor thing was confirmed] or receive the "Ares title", the god of war.

You have lots of teams fighting for different purposes and stuff. But there will be a "balance" in this war. Should you win, should you lose. Whatever happens, one will crush the dreams of the other. Get where this is going?

Ares is the god of war, so the war of soccer or whatever you wanna call it will be a test to see if the winners will like to see the defeat of the losers. Idk. So yeah, this is what I think, it will be a project to select and/or create the worthy/strongest players for reasons.

I have a feeling the villain will be a mix of the previous antagonists from IE1 to GO.

I'll say it again, if that woman backstabs/betrays the dude, it will be a nice addition to the series, our first female main antagonist. It would also be surprising. Like, everybody's thinking that guy is the Big Bad while it's actually the one who's working with him. But knowing Lel 5, don't think this will happen.

And yes, I do think this can be a key to a darker story.
