Would be great if Netflix got the previous series so people could actually watch the new one.

Or you could just watch the new one, it gives you recaps and there is nothing physically stopping you from doing so even if it didn't

Glordit: Netflix isn't bringing over the old one, because of Brocken, Jr. Of course, Discotek could bring it over with a disclaimer.

Can they at least dub the new seasons? There have to be a decent amount of WWE wrestlers who Creative has nothing for.

Wasn't this arc's adaptation announced as four cours long from the beginning, or am I misremembering stuff?

I don't think they ever specified the number of cours. But fitting the arc into four is basically impossible, especially now when we haven't even really gotten to the real meat of it yet after two

I'd prefer to watch the entire series, instead of a short summary.

I can always dream about it's eventual return.

Or you could just watch and enjoy the series that's right there in front of you instead of worrying about having perfect info lol

Honestly surprised it took them this long after the non-ending of the last cour.

I've got thousands of other shows to choose, and if it's going to be multiple seasons I'll wait until it's done.

Yeah, the Perfect Origin Arc was Volumes 38-60 in the original numbering, it needs a few seasons to really do it justice.

Having attended the Akira Kushida live in November 2019 with the Kinnikuman character appearing, I also wonder that, given his size in comparison to most Japanese people.

I still wish they provided an English dub.
