I would also like to see Hiroshige compete again too, as he also still trains but he's in this weird position where he still hangs out with and considers himself a Black Tiger, but in all of the Black Tiger preliminaries run by Yamada to choose the two members who will compete in the next tournament, he's not even in the running. I don't know what his deal is, he was a pretty solid competitor and basically disappeared after Obata got done for harassment lol. Personally I really want Yamamoto Hiroshige to return. He had an aura of charisma that made him stand out among The Black Tigers. I think he'd be a great guy to push as a top star, Inui just need to give him a chance to shine. As mentioned though he's seemingly not part of the Black Tigers anymore; he still hangs out with them but he's not part of the group of eight that has to run those preliminary trials to work out who will get to compete on the next Sasuke, which basically means the likelihood of him coming back is very slim at best. I will ask about him and get back to you.

Wasn’t sure where to put this, but this injury post effectively confirms Mori will not be competing in 40, given that we now know it’s going to tape in a week: http://instagram.com/p/Cjk5b4_LFDo

I personally want to see Koji Hashimoto return for SASUKE 40. Unlikely but it would be cool to see. Additionally, I think Mori Wataru and Naoki Iketani have decent shots at coming back, especially given Iketani's association with Tomohiro Mutou.

Mori’s injured so he’s definitely not returning. Iketani got declined from 39 despite being a veteran so I wouldn’t hold my breath either. Hashimoto is also unlikely and I feel like even if he did it would be a Bunpei situation where he’s clearly out of his element and will fail disappointingly early; if anything would be pretty sad to see.

Takeru is also unlikely to compete as his Instagram shows he’s currently in the States. Given that 40 is meant to start taping tomorrow I figured that means he’s not going to be there: instagram.com/k1takeru?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
