Mako's no pushover, either- Akira definitely isn't the only one who lives for fighting. I just haven't shown much of that side of him yet. So, that's actually going to be more interesting for both of us- a straight-up, knock-down, drag-out brawl. Should be fun, right?

Indeed, and Akira is always game for some worthy rivals. It wouldn't be fun if things were too easy. With Rokorou and now Sato (Well, that one is still developing since Sato is not likely to confront Akira about the whole 'Saki' thing just yet), Mako would be a good third enemy/rival. xD
