Season overview

Topic: "Duel Masters" Season 16.
Task: Produce a JSON object with overview (160-220 words) and primer (exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the prose (though the primer is an array of strings).
Constraint 5: Output valid JSON only.
Constraint 6: overview must be 160-220 words.
Synopsis: Joe becomes involved with a worldwide tourney hosted by Abaku Onifuda, an extremely powerful duelist with extensive connections and resources who was constantly sending agents to test him and his friend's strength, for purposes unknown.
Source [1]: Mentions "Duel Masters (2002)", "TV-Y7", "Action & Adventure, Animation, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and Kids", and a snippet: "A mysterious organization is interested in fledging duelist Shobu Kirifuda's ability to br".
Overview Construction:
The synopsis says: Joe is involved in a worldwide tournament hosted by Abaku Onifuda. Abaku Onifuda is a powerful duelist with extensive connections and resources. He has been sending agents to test Joe and his friend's strength for unknown purposes.
The source snippet mentions: Shobu Kirifuda is a fledgling duelist. A mysterious organization is interested in his ability.
Problem: The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement for the overview is 160-220 words.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot reach 160-220 words using only the provided text without inventing information. The provided text is roughly 40 words.
Strategy: I must attempt to expand the prose using only the provided facts, but I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the "do not invent" rule. However, in these types of prompts, usually, the instruction to "write 160-220 words" is a target, but the "ONLY verifiable facts" is the primary constraint. If I cannot reach 160 words without lying
