Makes me tear up as well, damn..I love the detail of Kimura getting teary-eyed when he realizes that Mashiba used the same strategy as him. Quite emotional.
^This except for most of Takamura's fightsI think it's fair to add some character to Rosario which was shown with his will. It is classic Morikawa style of not writing opponents as just NPCs. Well next chapter hopefully will bring down the curtain. Thanks for the translation.
