4. Hirooki Goto

This one will come as a shocker and is possibly as unreal as they come, so hear me out. Hirooki Goto is a samurai, an honorable warrior who has done no wrong. His decision to join CHAOS, manifested by the groups' clear-cut turn towards the already heroic. Okada's friendship and respect meant a lot in 2016 for a Goto just getting ramped up, despite his age and longevity.
However, the position hasn't really led Goto far in his career. There was that one point where he made it to the G1 Finals, the year after joining CHAOS. Yet Goto has always been the bridesmaid, never the bride. Goto is surely not in a position to lead the faction nor overstep Okada's mighty shadow.
With a whole host of young stars passing him by, Goto could finally use the turn and being Switchblade's main man to gain leverage in New Japan. It would revitalize his career, meandering in the pool of the NEVER Openweight division. Goto becoming selfish could turn a new leaf for the career of a man, many are thirsty to see succeed.
Hirooki Goto does the unthinkable and joins Switchblade's CHAOS!
