As a bit of a follow-up, here are three ten-team divisions of a fictive JFL2, based on roughly the same matrix as the 2025 Shakaijin team allocations (I had to remove one Kanto and one Kansai team and add one Kyushu team to even things out). Division champions to JFL, bottom 3 to RLs. Your opinions?

Sustainable growth begins at the roots, so it would be about time to improve the way how teams enter the JFL. The current modus operandi via #ChiikiCL and #ShakIjin is archaic and not beneficial for promoted teams, who usually struggle at least half a season before perhaps gaining any traction.
The point was to expand the professional pyramid; if it temporarily made the JFL a company/semi-pro heavy league that was incidental.
The JFL has always been an amateur league, and Honda is steadfastly an amateur club.
The challenge now is making sure the pro pyramid can grow sustainably…

J's Gatekeeper are at it again – Honda FC have secured a P2 finish.
In the basement, Asuka FC can only reach P15 at best now but are not out completely yet, thanks to the better goal difference over Yokogawa Musashino.

While Honda FC's presence in the JFL frustrates some - and has for the last 25y or so - the only way they are leaving the JFL, short of a nightmare season that ends in relegation, is by Honda deciding to fold the club.
There's a whole lotta what-ifs throughout their history but it is what it is.

They should tell Honda FC to professionalise or leave.
J3’s 19th placed team guaranteed to stay in the league as Honda FC secure a top 2 place in the JFL.
Honda FC, as a semi-pro (not really) company team, cannot qualify for the J League.

With #HondaFC ( #JsGatekeeper) having secured a #JFL Top2 finish, #J3League P19 may now rest easily as only P20 will be considered for a team exchange. If JFL P2 #ReilacShiga win the league, it will be a direct exchange, otherwise there will be a two-legged playoff with Reilac or #ReinMeerAomori.

So, regarding the #J1League title race, we are basically waiting to see in which direction the openings of the "VV" shape in KASHI_A will point...

That stoppage time Suzuka goal could have been the final nail in the coffin of Asuka FC's JFL dream. P15 is still not impossible, but they will need three wins and favorable results from Yokogawa Musashino.

Pending a miracle, #J3League P19 is save as chances of removing Honda from a Top2 finish have shrinked to a minimum. Both Honda and Reilac Shiga have similar remaining schedules – almost literally, as both still have to face Briobecca UI and Yokogawa Musaashino.

For what it`s worth, I asked Google Gemini how it would predict the 2025 #ChiikiCL. The results:
Group winners are Tokyo United, Arterivo Wakayama, Vonds Ichihara; Veroskronos Tsuno complete the Final Four.
Tokyo United wins the league, Vonds go into the JFL PO again, which they win vs Musashino.

A couple of preliminary decisions have been made following today's partial #JFL matchday. The future of Asuka is looking more and more uncertain after their loss against YSCC, and Yokogawa are also headed for at least a bit of extra curriculum after the season.

That number 11 of Atlético Suzuka is such a stylish guy. His hair color is blending perfectly with the color of his shorts and socks.
