Yes, I agree. Very impressive. Takato fought hard to win that fight but he seemed to be genuinely happy for naguyama and his success.

@@brianbr5388 all there fights had the exact same respect at the end , Nagayama is one hell of a fighter and takato knows that and respectfully accepts that this is his time to shine , a legend passes his legacy to another :)

@@ahmed-hammad There is not much between them which makes it all the more impressive to see Takato graciously handing on the baton to Naguyama. Abe and Maryuama have a similar rivalry but I do not see the same ''graciousness' between them, even though they are both great fighters and very close in skill levels. But it is very rare to see anyone taking joy in a rival's success especially at the expense of their own success. Definitely Takato has become one of my all time favorites after observing this.
