Quote From: ChanceI have to admit I also like how they're not going with the usual rivals battles, but instead have each character fight someone else's rival (like Dent vs Shootie in the next episode, or Satoshi vs the Frenchie sommelière in this one). It really makes the whole Don Battles thing more interesting that way!
I like that there is a lot of established secondary characters in this tournament and not just some character of the day's. It really makes this tournament all that more important and exciting when building up to the league.
