With the Elite gone and Bullet Club more streamlined, it seems stables in New Japan have gotten more of a chance to shine, outside of CHAOS, which almost doesn't even seem to exist anymore. With the New Beginning tour, members of LIJ, Suzuki-gun and Bullet Club are all getting chances to shine in tag and singles title matches. Also, while LIJ is my favorite, Suzuki-gun being a close second, Bullet Club has progressed greatly in last couple of months.

LIJ is all of my favorite guys. Weirdly enough, of all of them, Naito is probably my least favorite. He's still awesome, but I like everyone in the group better than him, especially SANADA and Hiromu.

LIJ. Naito is my guy. Also a massive Hiromu fan.

I love the concept of the LIJ,I think it is a concept that many more people can identify with and get into.
Especially Naito.

Suzuki-Gun followed by LIJ. Suzuki-Gun is such an easy to understand stable. A group of bullying, cheating jerks led by an evil, nasty old man.

Probably pretty obvious, with me.

I see them less than stables and more like mma type gym affiliation. Like Bullet Club I no longer consider a stable because the Samoan contingent hates the elite.

Suzuki Gun closely followed by LIJ. When I got back into NJPW they were the ones that caught my eye. I knew Taka, Suzuki was fascinating to see as a grouchy killer, and Taichi with glitz and sliminess, plus the others later on, they were and still are my favourite group.

I feel like it's a bit too early to gauge the new Bullet Club and CHAOS is obviously in flux, so it's hard to pinpoint where they're both at.
I will say, I think many of my individual favorite performers are in CHAOS, but I think I dig Suzuki-gun's style the most, even though LIJ is incredible.

It's probably still Bullet Club, even with the Elite gone.

LIJ. Even their worst wrestler is someone who everybody seems convinced is going to be huge someday.
Chaos is barely a stable, Suzuki-gun has fun moments but I really don’t think has many good guys (a shakeup would help), BC ran its course years ago imo.

LIJ, but I like Suzuki-Gun a lot, particularly Suzuki himself and El Desperado. ZSJ and Taichi are fun, too, even if the former is still growing and the latter isn't the more complex guy by any means. I've always been partial to TAKA, so there's that, too.

I really like LIJ, but Suzuki-gun is a fun heel stable, too. And Bullet Club is finding itself again with the Elite gone.

The Tongans turned on them, and Gedo and Jay White betrayed Okada to join the Bullet Club. Jay is their Ace, but maintains there is no leader, that he isn't stupid enough to think the Tongans are going to take orders from him. |

Tama posted on instagram saying "Jay White is now the leader of Bullet Club". I think it works, Tama doesn't have the juice to be the Ace or the leader, but he and Fale are something of kingmakers. Though really I would have liked to see White form his own brand new group. |

I like them all in some form, but LIJ is probably my favorite because they give me a combination of Horsemen and DX vibes.
CHAOS at this point is just Okada And His Amazing Friends more than a true unit, unlike back when Yano was more serious and Nakamura was in front.
