The challenge letter treated a certain "Restriction" as the spoils of victory.
Yet when the letter mentioned those spoils, its tone was clearly seeking Netero's consent.
From that point alone, it seemed that the man named Beyond Netero had issued Netero a nominal challenge to the death for the sake of some kind of "Restriction."
