So, the flashbacking is clearly not over, right?
We still need to know what actually happened after E-Soul shot Moon (like we know the fallout, but surely something actually happened on the island at that time), we never actually found out what's up with the aliens, we got no real backstory on X, the Spotlight organization stuff was still ongoing with Mickey and Queen's Dad, etc.
There's so many threads still lose here that feel like they need to be tied up somewhat during the tournament. Maybe we'll get a mix of falshbacks before the actual fights in each episode to fill in the gaps.
But given how crazy that new OP looks, maybe the tournament itself is gonna get shafted early on for an entirely different plot with the Tarot chick?
