The story of the Spiritual Ratzus explains the story of the Ratzu Universe and the search for external ideas to enhance their home universe, but due to the revival of the story in Starmaninja, Polara decided to allow the Spiritual Ratzus to actually head to Starmaninja and see the world for themselves.
