Admins, feel free to edit/delete my post, if it's necessary.

All right, here's my theory, y'all :

The Ares Team could be based on the Major Arcana Tarot Cards.

Long story short, 22 cards that represent life, destiny, events, drama, nature, etc.

So each player will represent/connect with 2 Major Arcana Cards.

Let's start with Haizaki Ryouhei.

He's called The Devil of the Field, so they could make his story based on what the card [The Devil] represents.

Here are some details:

" 15 The Devil  The pain and delight of giving in to temptation.

Archetype: Archfiend: nemesis. " / " 15 The Devil The focus of this card is on adverse conditions or negative cycle of events. " / Key Words for the Devil Tarot Card Meanings: Ego, Loss, Error, Addiction, llusion, Disruption, Enslavement

So far, they apparently fit with Haizaki. Haizaki is also part of Seishou Gakuen, and its sponsor is KiraSTAR. Seishou's kanji also has something to do with stars, IIRC. So he could also represent The Star.

" 17 The Star Time to pause and reflect, contemplate what's precious and what's not.  Archetype: Distance: the unreachable. " / " 17 The Star The focus of this card is on the futures faith and what could be. " /  Key Words for the Star Tarot Card Meanings: Hope, Promise, Healing, Guidance, Cleansing, Assurance, Ascencion, Rejuvination

So this could represent how he would turn "good", join Asuto, yada yada. Or how that girl can soon recover or whatever. So this also fits.

Something interesting, the inverted star/inverted pentagram is directly associated with The Devil, so this fits even more.

Now Nosaka Yuuma.

His title is "The Emperor of Tactics"

Let's see if the card fits with what we know so far about him.

" 4 The Emperor You're up against real power, so yield or suffer the consequences.  Archetype: Supreme ruler: irresistible power." / " 4 The Emperor  The focus of this card is on construction and formation, or something or someone will change your present situation or present you with opportunities to enter into a new partnership or relationship " / Key Words for the Emperor Tarot Card Meanings: Strategy, Rulership, Authority, Masculinity, Practicality

Power, strategy, rulership, authority. Kinda fits Yuuma, tbh.

Yuuma is part of Outei Tsukinomiya, which means something like... Emperor's Moon Palace.

Gekkou means moonlight/moonbeam, so yeah.

" 18 The Moon Longing for the sake of longing, and the hope of fulfillment.  Archetype: Soul: longing. " / " 18 The Moon The focus of this card is on inner disturbances or feelings of disquiet or dread or foreboding. Situations are deceptive or changeable in whatever area is important to you at the moment. " / Key Words for the Moon Tarot Card Meanings: Cycles, Emotion, Intensity, Reflection, Confusion, Influence, Emergence, Perplexity

Fitting... In a way. Okay, enough, this is making the post longer than I expected.

There's also Asuto, The Soccer Boy Chosen by the Sun

And Mikado Anna, Raimon's Empress

So:

Haizaki Ryouhei - 15 The Devil and 17 The Star

Nosaka Yuuma - 4 The Emperor and 18 The Moon

Mikado Anna - 3 The Empress

Inamori Asuto - 19 The Sun

I didn't make up the descriptions/symbolism

Tbh, I wouldn't care if my theory doesn't end up true, but it would be interesting. So I just shared this for fun.

Arcana Eleven, or the Tarot Team Theory, whatever.

Thanks for reading This is a great theory, good job on the writing.

Huh, Tarot Cards, maybe this could also include something with the Zodiacs.
