>But on a serious note, Lighter isn't really a martial artist, he just throws jabs, upper cuts and fights more like a boxer.
That's MMA at the very least, hand to hand can be boiled down to a striking art, a grappling art, and a throwing art. In terms of visuals though we already have everything you'd normally see outside of big visual effects, which they can do but it's just strange that of all the S rank males, 3 of them will use fists including one a rank.
>So he'll end up doing some ancient style of Ether-infused martial arts that imbues his body with the power of the Golden Dragon that protected his family for generations or some shit.

It's just a subversion of what they did with 1x and it doesn't allow for any planning in 2x. Surprises are fine but this I don't know. Also as far as being on a tight deadline goes, the smart thing to do would be to have just cut all A ranks since they are generally pointless and then use the half made characters they have now as S ranks to polish up. Would've let them bounce back from the insane crunch of removing tv and speeding up the content pipeline while still having those new concepts kept for later next year.
With the three idols, Zhao, Monato and Damien there's already 6 months of agents to use plus the 6 we have now at 12. Instead they made one agent into two and only reused assets for one which is incredibly inefficient and that's before we even got a glimpse at giant sword girl, martial artist of the mystery hula hoop girl.
