Koetsuji smiles and approves... [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v16/c140/16.html while the other masters laugh themselves sick]].
** Made even better by the Elder's commentary on the situation.

* The fight between Kenichi and Odin has a few funny moments:
** After Odin stops the Mubyoshi, Kenichi shakes... And to stop it he ''headbutts the pipe he was standing on''. Especially as [[ATruceWhileWeGawk the larger battle between Ragnarok and the Shinpaku Alliance stops as many of the fighters just look at it in befuddlement]].
*** The faces are especially notable because ''[[CloudCuckooLander Siegfried]]'' is among the gawkers, reacting just like people usually react to ''him''.

And Siegfried is the one with GlowingEyesOfDoom shining full-blast.the funniest face.
*** The crowning moment: after Kenichi starts imitating Apachai, Odin declares it's useless and dares him to dodge his attacks... And then Kenichi charges ahead shouting "Apapapapapapapapapa!" and elbows him in the face.

*** The fight ends with Kenichi and Ukita having to save Takeda from falling down the roof. Miu arrives immediately after... And sees an exhausted Kenichi down of the roof's floor. She beats them up ''hard'' before Kenichi recovers enough to explain things.
** After the fight, Kenichi and Miu bring Takeda and Ukita to Akisame, who, being just that good, notices and starts fixing the injury that keeps Takeda's left arm immobilized-and acts the exact same way in which [[TrainingFromHell he trains Kenichi]]. [[OhCrap Takeda's face as he realizes what madman he's dealing with]] is priceless.

** After Kenichi ''still'' comes to rescue the two and defeats Ukita, Takeda decides to get involved and starts pulling something out of his pocket. Kenichi is scared by the expected knife... Then Takeda produces a stopwatch and a piece of chalk, draws a ring on the floor, and challenges him to a boxing-style match.

Why? Because [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen he's a boxer, and a former professional at that]].
*** And ''they actually follows the rules'': when Kenichi goes down Takeda starts counting without taking advantage of him being down, and does it two times, and when Kenichi has the upper hand and is about to knock out Takeda he stops because the bell has just ended the first round. The only problem was that Kenichi thought the pause was for three minutes, but Takeda quickly corrected him... And attacked the moment the bell announced the second round, interrupting the tale of his backstory in which Kenichi had been ''really'' caught into.
