So, Takamura was introduced waaaaaay back in the day as an incredibly skilled boxer, defeating punks without laying a finger on them, favoring incredible footwork, that kinda thing. When he was asked what it was like being strong, he demonstrated not overwhelming power, but speed and precision.

I know he's stopped being a mentor character, but goddamn, when the hell did he become a sub-literate meathead who is only good at hitting hard? For his last several fights, the only thing positive you can say about him is his overwhelming power. Earlier in the series they sneered at Aoki and Kimura for getting dragged into inelegant exchanges of punches, and now it's all that Japan's greatest champion ever does.
I think he was simply being used to set up that random punch on Sakaguchi.

They can probably kill each other by just stabbing with their ridiculously sharp elbows.

Wait, that guy's jeans are skin-tight and have an "a" on them.

Japanese fashion :psyduck:
That's considered very normal and boring there.
