I see your point but I need to address the last bit.

Daphne was never mentioned in the manga. The KotSS was referenced BEFORE the actual filler in the anime, plus the Legion is not mentioned once in the manga, only the Zentopia event. Most of the omakes and ovas already existed in the original manga except Memory Days and the ones that weren't there were never referenced. Heck in the manga, not once did Erigor appear after his initial defeat in the beginning of the series. And the OS didn't mention any "reformation" that happened to them just a short time prior when they were defeated by FT. Cobra just returned to his rambunctious self despite being rather restrained at the scene of parting with Kinana so it is assumed that going back to prison made him jumpy again.
