Welcome to a little gif thread I'm calling 'affection in Momo no Seishun' aka my take on baton passes and tag team support. Exhibit A - Kotoge's last match in Osaka Pro Wrestling.
First point - these guys love a fist bump. Love it. First thing they do after Kotoge's win.
Oh, and they have a real history of being nice but also insulting each other in their post-match mic time. Witness Harada's speech that day...
So, of course Kotoge does this - the affectionate headbutt.
It's okay, they hug it out too
Oh but then the flowers. I mean Harada could just give him the flowers. But no, let's pretend to fight with them first.
I mean these two have a long history of fighting each other - a long history that Kotoge has a BIG lead in btw - but they do hug it out when called for. Even when they are feuding, a bow or wave isn't uncommon for them after a match, though there are exceptions.
And betrayals, arguments? They cope - this just a few months after Kotoge turning on Harada in 2008. Fist bump.
And an affectionate pat on the head from your senior when you're angry about losing, always nice.
Which brings us to this of course. Fist bump. I think they just might be okay.
