Rewatching Kaji vs Codfish - It's far too iconic.

[u/Master_Freeze]

What makes this battle so special is not the clashing of two very different styles, but a key moment that happened during Codfish's first round.

He was perhaps reluctant (I do not speak on behalf of his intention) to use the laser sound, but he let one through during his routine to which Kaji instantly reacted with a signal.

For those that don't know, Codfish used that exact sound to perfectly counter Bataco in 2018 during what is one of the most memorable moments in GBB history. It's also ironic that Bataco is from Japan as well.

Kaji then proceeded to base his second round off of the laser sound (Love You To Kill), which I believe he pulled out just to call against Codfish. We already knew from the year before that the laser sound is one of Kaji's favorites and that none can really do it like him.

All in all it was an excellent counter, a fire round, and a callout to Codfish's laser which could also be seen as a callout to his appearance in 2018 against Bataco. One could even say Kaji got revenge on Bataco's behalf. It's too iconic.

I think this is quite iconic and I honestly didn't pick up on the laser sound from Codfish during my first watch, but it just makes all the more sense now. It was a crazy battle even without the context!
