Exactly! The things he needs to beat Kenshin will definitely become clearer to Aoba after he loses to Orima. Yes, I do think he's going to lose against Orima because Orima is using him for training for a higher level. Ability to better read his opponent's moves, high defensive ability, sustainability, and the grappling skill level he's growing closer to now. I imagine this guy will teach him some Kureishi moves before Kenshin as well.
