Ares can't occur conpletely parallel to season 2. Season 2 occurs the day of the FF championship and a couple months after. Season 1 is still canon for Ares so the FF tournament for the year is done, meaning Ares has to take place a year in the future. After the FF tournament is an annual tournament to find Japan's best team. The Another Episode 27 special probably runs the same time as season 2-there has to be a time gap that causes all the changes in the FF. While Tsunami may be my favorite character, the chance of him appearing outside of just fanservice is incredibly low.
