And Tezuka accepts that and answers as he would to a competitor who said that.
I guess. :) I just want to heap more significance on anything they say to each other. I do think that there is more significance there, though, if not in the words, than in the postures and the voices. The way Ryoma won't look at Tezuka and keeps his eyes in shadow and his head lowered. The way Tezuka stands up straight and answers firmly.
And even though it's a standard phrase, it's not a flippant one. I've just been watching Hajime no Ippo and it's that reminder that he's carrying the honour of all his former opponents that helps him to stay conscious and win his match.
Tezuka was challenging Ryouma, at the same time he was demonstrating what true loyalty to one's team means and looks like. Ryouma is answering Tezuka in kind.
Yes, exactly. Ryoma is finally starting to get it now.
Though I always wonder just how multi-purpose Tezuka's game, here, is--whether he's trying to galvanize Atobe at the same time as Ryouma.

Hee! He is quite a meddler, isn't he?
