Whenever we get a chapter like this, I can't help but think theorising about whatever's going on with Jack culminating in another father-son fight is ridiculous. There's nothing to be gained; Jack is clearly coming to terms with their relationship, Yuujirou has already had his dream fulfilled and is mellowing out (or, as what I can only assume this chapter is implying, is seemingly going through menopause...? even though I'm pretty sure that triggers the opposite of mellowing out).

I feel like a more appropriate climax (that people have suggested before) is a fight against Baki, the other "strongest". Rather than Jack getting a parallel to Baki's fight with Yuujirou by, wow, having a fight with Yuujirou, I think more fitting would be the inverse to Baki's fight with Yuujirou. By this I mean Baki's fight with Yuujirou was motivated by a wholesome desire and aiming to take a serious man into an unserious world; were Jack to fight Baki, I believe it would be motivated by a selfish desire of Jack's to prove himself and his strength (strenght) and aiming to take an unserious boy into a serious world. I feel like that's supported by how playful Baki's fights have been ever since Musashi left for his home planet.

Itagaki trying real hard to make us forget that man was/is basically the Homelander of Anime.

I mean, seriously : as someone recently told me, it's like he's getting away with it because of his insane aura farming lol
I don't know. He's been mellowing out since his fight with Baki, which adds up to me (refer to my long comment above). I see it as less about forgetting/forgiveness and more about how his perspective has changed since being made to accept Baki's kinder and sillier world. Just look at all the chapters of him praising Jack earnestly; something's humbled him enough to look at others with less disdain.

Fair point, I guess.
