Fans may recall that Jazzy departed the team following a surprise announcement. In addition, Hikaru will not be returning, having recently joined ZETA Division.

With two key players gone, it was essential for Team iXA to bring in skilled replacements. The first addition is Adelai, an Ed specialist who is with Riddle and was loaned to Team iXA. The second, more surprising addition is Akira, who will be joining Team iXA on loan from REJECT.

Akira confirmed his participation in SFL Japan with Team iXA via a short statement. REJECT also released a statement of their own, expressing support for the move. Many in the community showed encouragement, including LeShar, currently on loan from DRX.

Despite the roster shake-up, Team iXA retains Acqua and Hibiki, ensuring a balanced mix of experience and excitement heading into the new season.

Street Fighter League: Japan 2025 is set to begin sometime in August.
