I feel like it could've been drawn out more to strike the right emotional cord, but I think its reasonable that Rihito lost. His last "real" fight was against a recovering opponent, so even though I love Rihito its kinda hard to imagine him beating one of the Elites from Purgatory. I hope he'll get a good win one day. I know he trained with one of the strongest characters in the manga, but that doesn't instantly make him godlike. Good fight, can't wait for the next chapter.
