"t’s difficult to raise my motivation with Otsuka as an opponent. It’s inevitable that I have a lower status image (of him)… It’s bad if I lose but I wonder if it’s all right if I lose.

-Mishima, quoted via Nightmare of Battle

Inauspicious sentiments…

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
