I expect the bamboo forest pair will steal the spotlight on the next mountain. (Yukari)

You mean those two \oni\ won't push themselves to follow them?

They are giving up the fight?

It is not certain that they are giving up.

This TDG is turning out to be quite colorful in design.

If you think about it, today, at this stage pushing yourself more than necessary is an unwise course of action. (Yukari)

And Suika, together with Yuugi, both know this.

Then again, it is a fact, that oni hate to lose and will be clinging to this chance.

That is exactly why they understand that going all-out right from the start is foolish. (Yukari)

...Being this cogitative does not really fit with the oni image, does it?

This is why humans have this prejudice, that "oni" means "single-minded".

In reality, there is no creature as clever as an oni, when it concerns a "brawl"... This is the main reason why they are so strong. "Brawl" is read as "competition" here.
