>>53463445Problem is they came back with Endou as protagonist, since it was Asuto.
Also, he never retired, even during Go, where he was more active and less shitty than what Ares/Orion did.
>I never said anything about Ash appearing PM 2023 as a protagonist. I said the possibility of him appearing as the world champion who helps the new protagonist and characters grow.I'm just counter arguing that you said OLM has a tendency of bringing back old protagonist, but it's just not only wrong, but Endou never retired and remained in main cast in every possible way.
But yes, I agree that Ash could appear again or even never disappears entirely. I don't mind it, personally. But he's a very destroyed character right now, so bringing him back after retiring specifically as a protagonist would only hurt him even more.
