Now that I think about it, Goro actually never won anything major (no pun intended, LOL!) in his youth. That's also why I love this series so much. Goro wasn't as decorated as Toshiya and Mayumura if we're just talking about trophy count, but because the story is so amazing, you never feel like he's inferior to them. That said, there were times when I kind of hated how badly Goro was downplayed throughout the series, but this episode washed all of that resentment away. Totally amazing OVA!
