>>1040784his character arc seems to be similar to teshimas, which is basically owning his place in life, even if he cant achieve his dreams. He's pretty proud of his place as a support member during the interhigh, despite not winning a race.
He's drawn different but he's also grown a year, and he's just not drawn shorthand, which is how sugimoto is normally drawn since he's usually a joke character. Imaizumi looks a lot different as well, but it's watanabe just getting better at drawing.
