Yeah, but that’s not my point. I wasn’t saying him saying checkmate wasn’t picked up from Kaneda. I was saying predicting his opponent’s moves is standard for the stronger fighters. They’re all trying to read each other.
Kaneda and Akoya represent the two axes of predicting and reacting. Cosmo, back in the tournament, honed both by the end, but it’s not as if those two traits are unique to these characters. They’re just extremes. But everyone is trying to improve their predictive and reactive abilities. Agito falling back on a fixed form martial art rather than his freestyle moves was to reduce his reaction time by limiting his options.
No one’s technique is being copied here. This is just a principle that all fighters pursue. We wouldn’t say someone was copying Julius just because they’re developing their muscles, would we?
