It's funny to think how the hype surrounding Simo backfired.

Like, the creators certainly didn't expect such a commotion for this character who didn't appear before and only had his design made earlier by vote.

There the problem lies where they have to maintain the hype created for this character somehow, Even though this is narratively the "LOKI'S FIGHT"

Like, a character already present since the beginning of the manga, with a great narrative load and reasons being given for his fight at the current moment, Against an opponent who was not only brought in at the last minute to fight, but is also described as having been chosen JUST TO DEAL WITH LOKI.

So, as I said before, this fight will clearly have the central focus on Loki, just as the Sixth round focuses on Buddha and everything else, perhaps this will disappoint the public to some extent due to their appreciation for Simo.
