Of course it relates to the main story Chi is the first keyblade war the story prior BBS. At least according to my theory.

He meant other than this aspect, because it says it'll be added on through an update...Maybe it'll show Aqua in the RoD, Terra talking to Xehanort, or how the Master Keeper ended up on Destiny Islands. Who knows, I guess only time will tell.

BBS vol 2 story-related? Now I see no reason why SE wouldn't bring this game overseas, but inb4itdoesn't.

You're completely wrong, this is a fairy tale based on the keyblade war that happened prior to BBS.

I am just waiting for someone to make the joke:

 

"Kairi, more useful as a card than an actual character."

 

Honestly, there's little else to expect of the fandom regarding Kairi at this point.
