Nah, the beginning of the arc is always a new stream of candidates, if the Bourbon arc is an good model. Expect late arrivals too. We are moving forward in the plot, it's just in info trickle mode and not action mode now.

I wonder the theme on this one. It's very rare that Momiji was featured in the manga... Maybe Gosho is keeping the story in the movie so that it won't run too wild?
