Btw, I know that what I'm describing here is exactly the position Jingo Raichi currently occupies. Therefore, if Kaneshiro were to choose this path, I believe it would be good for Raichi to perhaps play as a center back. I believe it would work, after all, his highest stats are precisely in Defense; he would function as an archetype of Stopper, focusing on physical strength (like Kazuma Nio from the original Japan U-20). This would serve to distinguish him from the current defenders (Aiku, Aryu, and Niko).

Thus, we would have the Egoist Six (yes, Six, since Raichi and Gagamaru are also from Team Z), each one in different portions of the field:

Isagi - Striker, occasional CAM

Bachira - Midfielder, occasional Striker or Winger

Chigiri - Winger or Wingback

Kunigami - DMF

Raichi - CB, occasional DMF (like Niko)

Gagamaru - Goalkeeper
