Lame. After that epic display of manliness and honorable combat that was so impressive it nearly turned Yamato gay, the chick spoiled it by disqualifying Tora.
Expected (you can see most of the "twists" in this manga coming a mile away), but still an insult to that battle that just occurred, and with both Tora and Kakeru leaving, makes the Masuraou tournament / ritual look mighty illegitimate.
