I wasn't aware that Yanagi had a modeling career though, that's interesting.

So even with them mentioning Onari returning to the temple from his detective gig at the end of Heisei Gen Final, we've still got a backup in Jabel.

Even Javel didn't shave his head, and he's now the head monk.

Yes, I was aware of him being a detective within the lore, regardless thank you for reminding me.
But I guess even if he had intentions to reprise his role I guess it would not be feasible given he is in New York full time it seems so just for a small one-shot crossover would be a lot of money spent, and with COVID making things complicated and risky to take a trip from one country to another.
