Toru Yano announced the name of the new group led by he and Nakamura today as CHAOS. This seems to kill off GBH, unless Makabe retains the name, with Yano saying he'd "give" the GBH name to the "two idiots" (Makabe and Honma) who continue to persist. So CHAOS appears to be GBH minus Makabe and Honma, plus Nakamura. Shinsuke seems to have fully turned to the dark side, although his ultimate motivation besides hurting Makabe doesn't seem clear.
