"I'm not 100% sure how No More Heroes III fits canonically in the franchise as a whole. To the best of my understanding it doesn't play out like a direct sequel to No More Heroes II, but since that second game came out over a decade ago..."

There was another game between NMH2 and NMH3 called Travis Strikes Again, but everyone pretends it doesn't exist because they didn't put a number in the title. The arbitrariness of this distinction is one of the main themes of NMH3.

it is a direct sequel to Travis Strikes Again,though. They don't explain who Bad Man and a few other characters are and why Bad Girl is alive again because they assume people played TSA

That's what I'm saying, but the reviewer isn't aware of its very existence. Most people are like that.
