I think you guys think too much about ratings and end up believing your headcanon are true. ToG could be actual garbage(thankfully it's not) and it would still be extremely popular.
The way SIU wrote the notice in 652, does say he care about the ratings. Like I said, it's extremely popular to the point even if story goes to the worst, we will still see to the end.
"The salt scent" of lu and that wave controller teammate also felt something to remember. Indeed, Baam was quite small and accepting things as it is, but now we see a real outsider view of ToG.
Yes, made me wonder if Lu was an Irregular for a moment. He is quite similar to S1 Baam but it's clear there is something to him. He could be a descendant of the people Zahard cursed? Neo kinda reminded me of V too.

I didn't say it's not cannon, I just said it probably won't be something relevant to the original story.
It's already relevant. Previously it was just dismissed as a rumour that UM entered the tower because he was chasing Phanta. Now it's clear he was. We might even see the reason why he wears Lu's cap, that last member might be yuje. How they formed whs might come later. These are going to be relevant.
I don't think current Urek, with 0 shinsu knowledge is even Regent lvl, I think he will learn to use shinsu here and possibly defeat the Floor Ruler who should be weaker/in the same tier of Evankhell.
Thinking positively, with this much of a switch-up in storytelling and SIU saying he was taking feedback into account for next season, maybe he's using the side story as a testing ground for writing a more assertive Bam.
it is so bs rumoring about not killing Luslec as only Urek's choice. Luslec is not that helpless, he might not armwrestle and beat Urek of course but some hater-like comments are just plain ridiculous. They only properly meet twice with sort of fighting and "not killing him out of mercy" is not a sensible person's conjecture from them
Luslec also saw Urek once more before Chapter 599 things as he stated, and again it was not like what 'rumor' suggests.
I've always been curious as to how the Workshop invented shinwonryu or why they bother teaching it to Irregulars, but this new lore neatly explains it. They invented shinwonryu by analysing Phanta's jewels and teach it to Irregulars so they can evolve into shining ones.
Or maybe Urek is just a greater person than we knew...
Invented Shinwonryu? You mean the Hell Train? Because Shinwonryu is a technique. The Hell Train was created so that they could awaken their dormant powers.
Bro, I'm not saying that the spin-off will be irrelevant to the story, I'm saying about all of Urek's lore before the tower.

Taking into account that Urek entered after Phanta and that the latter found Yuri in Zahard's palace, there is a 90% chance that she is already a ranker, so Urek has been in the tower for at least 300 years.
The people in-universe didn't know that Phanta was an Axis and he is stated to be the strongest in the first chapter of this spin-off. He also refused to listen to The Darkness. People still ignore that Enryu, in the end is the servant of some deity's outside.
