If you are a fan of stories that take their time and play out at a slow pace, you're in the right place. These are just a some examples of how they have extended very simplified stories. Aerostar took on Drago in a best-of-5 series with the winner receiving a "unique opportunity" from Dario Cueto. 

From start to finish this story easily took two months to complete. Another story is the seven medallions that are being given out one at a time to winners of specific matches. What they do exactly is not yet known. 

Finally, one of the longest running stories is Dario's brother Matanza, who is currently being kept locked in a cage underneath the Temple. He seems to be not quite human, but the show has kept his identity secret this entire time.
