Versus Build New World Cross-Z I feel tears down everything the finale of Build did. Everyone gets thier memories back, Evolt back, Sento and Banjo are no longer the Best Match,Pandora Box is still around, they might as well brought back the SkyWall by giving back the status que. I didn't enjoy it all tge retcons in that movie made no sense. Wheras the Another Ending retcons made more sense the fight in Snipe Episode Zero, Dr.Pacman having daugther, further exploration of the Dan Family. With Cross-Z we already retcon Evolt involvement in Be The One with the other members of the Blood Tribe but they continue butting with him being the one to kill Ryuga parents feels off.(Admittely not my strongest argument I was going to use Ryuki but I'm refraining to not want to accidently spoling something)

You've got a point about the Another Endings getting a bit of a pass for bringing back Kuroto. He's so fun, he's so much better than his dad to me. It's just, this is another scheme built off of the back of all of his other schemes. There's an unfortunate sense of Here We Go Again, and I don't think that's where a production team wants its characters to be.
