Ahahaha that turned out to be an awesome chapter!
At first I feared that Miyagi would practically take on the same role as Rukawa and there'd be some unnecessary disputes and drama when it comes to Sakuragi (especially since pairs like them are often portrayed as hating each other due to their similarities) but those two actually gained some sympathy for each other thanks to their likemindedness and drew some strength out of the situation.
That way, Sakuragi's (now still one sided ) rivalry towards Rukawa doesn't lose impact.
I hope they'll continue to support each other in matters of love and basketball!
