What does 理由の回収 mean? Is this a set expression or phrase or what?


A live-stream gamer on YouTube wrote this sentence on his video description
that normally goes beneath the video when you click 'Show more...' .

> ロックマン10をクリアしたのですが、9の時にワイリー土下座が9回あった理由の回収です。

Google translate:

> I cleared Rockman 10. It is the recovery of the reason why Wily Dogeza was 9
> times at 9.

I think he is trying to say, "I've already beaten MegaMan 10, but I'm gonna
re-discover the reason as to why Wily was defeated 9 times so far in this 9th
MegaMan game."
