Wow, this was a weird fight. Fujii was so tough, and Rin was so not strong, that despite Rin doing a lot more damage, and controlling more of the fight, Fujii ended the fight with a lot more health than Rin.

Wow, this was a weird fight. Fujii was so tough, and Rin was so not strong, that despite Rin doing a lot more damage, and controlling more of the fight, Fujii ended the fight with a lot more health than Rin. Ya know, even looking at the numbers, one might consider scoring the fight for Fujii. But yeah, tough call. The judges were pretty convinced with Rin, but yeah...I donno.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
