Kaibara may be difficult, but it's those times where he has no choice but to yield that make his character so enjoyable to compete with. In turn, I love watching Yamaoka face up against his father's undeniable experience and taste. I'm itching to see if they eventually return to the topic of Yamaoka's mother... It's still a little hard to see how she, as briefly as she's been described, fit into the dynamic.
