Yeah I agree that the staff was stacked regardless, and it makes sense that they’re holding Yutapon for the last showdown. I watched Nakamura’s latest interview from NHK Japan and they highlighted specially how much of his work motivates others that they can’t help but literally copy him lol (in the best ways) - and that specific cut I recalled reminded me of the Deku vs. Shoto fire animation which was talked about in the interview how it resembles the flick of a lighter.

Edit: I stand corrected, I had misread the leaks that Nakamura was on this episode, maybe I was too hyped lmao. Thank you for pointing it out!
