I've mixed feelings about this new Inazuma Japan, uh. For the most part, I'm happy with the new memembers, maybe unsure about the new Ichihoshi. However, I can't really stand both Saginuma and Goujin. What's the point of giving so much space to Kozoumaru in Ares, if he won't pass the selection? And, above all, what merits has Goujin? He isn't really this ace striker, and most of his goals are outcome of luck... Well, I guess being Hino's favourite character has some privileges... I hope he can at least have some character development in Orion (or he'll be the comical figure of the team). Also, I'm really surprised to see Iwato (over Kabeyama, especially) and not Atsuya, Mizukamiya, Sakuma and Midorikawa.

About the three free spots, I hope really they'll be three girls. Otherwise, I don't understand what's the point to add the (few) girls of Ares. Hope for Shiratoya, maybe Norika, but especially Yagami. Please, Hino, makes my wish comes true. We need our Ulvida in the world's strongest team. I would also like Mizukamiya, if he'll not be part of some Resistance Japan-like team.

For the end: two (maybe) stupid questions.

1) Why only Anna and Otonashi as managers? I'm surprised to not see Haruna and Aki to follow their beloved. It would also like to see their interactions with each others. Also, will Natsumi have the same role as before in Endou's story? (If Daisuke'll be present, of course);

2) I'm wondering about the choice of the name Orion. In Greek mythology he was a giant hunter, placed by Zeus among the stars. Is this a metaphor about their fighting spirit? Success? We'll see.
