>>11191309Lore is spread out pretty evenly through season 1, so you kinda want to watch every episode and every BONUS if you want ALL of the lore. Season 1 lore is more or less wrapped up in the two specials/Free-Per-Views, Future Imperfect and Dark Contract. Future Imperfect, i feel, is the #1 must see.
Season 2, the lore has been almost entirely within BONUS. Since the "main" story is a Tournament Arc, you can basically watch Season 2 Episode 1 and then jump in any time after that. Season 2 has had 2 BONUS centric specials, Memory Lane, and Imperishable FightZ, which both tie back to Future Imperfect, and the BONUS episodes that followed it. If you enjoyed Season 1's BONUS storyline, i recommend those two specials as well.
for reference, here is a list of storylines, as i've titled them in my notes:
>Season 1Jobber Hell
The Anti Invasion
The Dark Contract
The Egg Timeline Crisis
>Season 2I FUCKING LOVE STACK (TOUHOU HIJACK LOL)
Graduations
HFZ DARK Tag Tournament
The Homocoming
The HFZ DARK Bounty Championship
The Wolf Pack
Unlucky Star
tl;dr watch Future Imperfect, it has the best/most lore and best matches, jump in any time after that, ask questions if you dont know whats going on, i/chat are usually glad to explain.
