Shinsuke isn't stronger in my opinion, Shinsuke is just really really OP, as a goalkeeper I mean. He's made out to be OP so people actually use him in the games and brainwash you to think he's good.. Think about it, without Keshin or Mixi Max, he is undoubtedly the worst main protagonist goalkeeper seen in the series; I bet Wild Dunk will have more TP than Buttobi Punch will in the Galaxy game. I'm not saying Ibuki is better (although I do think it), but I hope he stays as Japan's keeper, and Shinsuke doesn't replace him.

But then again, he could come back as defender? He was wearing a short sleeved shirt in the silhouette.. Which I wouldn't mind as much.. but I would still much prefer Kirino, or Hakuryuu.
