That entire scene with Orobas was a bit weird. Every once in a while it seems like the author wants us to feel bad for him or something, Even during the final scene, where it tries to makes us like him a bit more.
It would have been better if out of shame or guilt for winning the way he did, he was the one who point out that the pot itself was worth 20k points. That way not only would he free himself out of some guilt, but also end up as the third instead of second.
Orobas overall was a confusing element throughout this whole arc, because at first he was the antagonist....but then he wasn't....but then he was.... but then once more he wasn't the antagonist.... it was weird.
Of course that is just my opinion, I'm not some professional writer or some shit like that lol I still enjoyed this Arc and the development it gave to all the main characters.
