I once read an article (of which I've been trying to search since I first read this forum) about Endou and Tenma. I read that about 1 or 2 months ago. It says there that Hino stated that Endou is indeed alive and is now "away" to do something important. Imo, he's probably working on some important stuff and will not be in any team. He'll be like a support character of some sort who wouldn't do much "action" in the games. Yes, he might be doing things for the sake of soccer BUT without actual participation in the tournament.

I also read there that unlike what happened in Chrono Stone, Tenma will die because of a butterfly effect caused by Atsuya, probably Kira Hiroto too, being alive. "A life in exchange of a life," is what I read Hino stated
