I know there will be some obstacle in between Rikuo and Kyoto, but seeing it like this, feels a bit iffy, as I thought there would be more build up to it, as we're still in episode 11, so there are some space for more development. I didn't dislike the battle itself, infact I liked it, especially with how the Itaku and Kubinashi one (Even though it was a bit anticlimatic). But something about the scene after that is a bit redundant in my opinion, feeling more like fluff, and not the fluff that was supposed to cut the tension. Maybe the author will have something in coming with them.
