Love the comparison at the end.
Really goes to show that no matter how strong "General Kaname Kei" was, he really is just a highschooler who also loves baseball, getting crushed by it, but ultimately coming back. Just like Chihaya and Todo, he's no exception.
I wonder if Haruka's going to get a similar arc that will demystify him the same way this arc totally fleshed out Kaname
