It's early yet, but we can speculate. Let's assume all six of them are back next time (and I really hope so). What can we expect to see?
IMO, it might go like this:
#10 - Shingo Yamamoto #13 - Kazuhiko Akiyama #84 - Katsumi Yamada #91 - Bunpei Shiratori #93 - Toshihiro Takeda #100 - Makoto Nagano
My opinion may well change as it gets closer - no, scratch that, it WILL change - but right now this is how I feel. Akiyama and Yamamoto will go mighty early no matter what happens, that's for sure.
EDIT: It HAS changed after seeing the competition at last.

Here's how I think it will go based on the current set up of things:
#25 - Akiyama #41 - Yamamoto #76 - Yamada #83 - Shiratori #95 - Takeda #99 - Nagano

#33 - Akiyama #47 - Yamamoto #81 - Yamada #85 - Shiratori #94 - Takeda #100 - Nagano
Pretty much in line with scnol's, but I see Nagano with 100 and I don't think they'd drop Yamada down in the 70's.

That's for sure. He won't be anything other than 100 until he leaves.
Shingo, on the other hand, his numbers will keep going WAY down until he clears Stage 1 again. Like I said, one day HE'LL be number 1. It wouldn't surprise me.

Uh...Nagano's been 99 before But seriously, it isn't that shocking if he was. Higuchi is not there to choose the numbers and this new producer has shown that he wants to shake things up, so what would stop him from changing that? Plus Shingo being #1 wouldn't be an insult at all. The #1 guy has always been someone with good potential.

Uh...Nagano's been 99 before Only because of Yamada "retiring".... It'll be one of those two every time unless Urushihara keeps doing what he's doing, or maybe even WINS one day!....wink wink? Yeah. Urushihara will be #99 (I'm sure). Nagano, last again.

#100 will be the focus of the show. If they want the focus to be the next generation, then Urushihara will be #100.

Akiyama: #21 Shingo: #41 Shiratori: #71 Yamada: #86 Takeda: #91 Nagano: #100 See the pattern? In 22 they did say that from now on the All-Stars would be spread out, so...

#25 - Akiyama #42 - Yamamoto #88 - Yamada #93 - Shiratori #96 - Takeda #100 - Nagano
If they fail Stage 1 again, all their numbers drop by at least 10 spots.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Nagano in the 90's just to kick him in the butt to get better. I don't put anything past M9/TBS these days. Every single time I say "oh they would never do that" they go out and do it just to prove a point that no one person is above the course.
