Honda? We got an extra scene about him earlier in the anime too: crying outside the institute after his elimination from the previous exam. Then a bus draws up and the driver tells him he still has next year.
As for Nase I think she's someone everyone wants to see pass. We had a bit of a discussion about her on the female characters thread, but I get this impression mostly because much fanfic depicts her as strong or already a pro. So, for a while I felt a bit guilty for writing one where she'd failed and left the Go world, not because I thought I'd misunderstood the characterisation (I can justify where I was coming from) but because this isn't what people want to read...I must just be a terrible angstmonger at heart
