Not sure what happened here, because I am not sure how the hell Hiroko succeeds. She has no toughness, no health, and no maxed out skills. But she somehow puts her game together and gets the win in most of her fights – even when she is grossly, grossly, outmatched (such as this fight – on paper, Sarah should have completely shredded Hiroko. ) Hiroko has something awesome (heart or something maybe?) that she keeps bringing to the table and coming out on top with.
