>>2998496I agree, Arakita would probably have been supportive had he been around and I already expected Fukutomi to be stern but it was Toudou who really surprised me.
Toudou's reaction was insanely harsh. It's made worse by the fact that he is a climber like Manami and the one who told him to ride freely. Also rather unexpected since Toudou is a good guy and had sort of taken Manami under his wing.
I could understand if Toudou finished with one of his Toudou-smiles and reassured Manami after lecturing him but no, he was thoroughly mean.
Yeah, I think the idea was to show how great Shohoku was but it was a bit too much and felt very wrong.
