Kiyoharu will be fine in the long run, I think, though he might end up moving to Tokyo to be closer to other Go pros his age. Hopefully his family will eventually understand :/

I wonder why they brought him in at the end like this? I mean, I like it and I like him, but they could have easily used a preexisting character in the Hokuto Cup.

I *loved* Touya-sensei showing up, and they way the conversation swung around to Sai - it was a good way to keep Sai there until the very end. He was not forgotten!

I think they brought Kiyoharu in as a fresh character for future "adventures".
But I think they did realize that future stories, because of the absence of the odd character, namely Sai, can only be variations on the tournament theme. (unless they want to do personal stuff, which they've never done before) And that would be boring the Nth time around.

Touya sr. showing up is a good way to round off the story, after all he's Sai's true rival, even though they only played the one even game...

Any wow, when he says the ghost of Shusaku returned to play me!
Modest or what?
