As I write the result first, Tatsuno took “koka“ 6 and won. If this match had been held under the official rules, the game would have been automatically stopped at “koka“ 3. However, this event was held under its own rules. Therefore, the chief referee allowed the match to continue after checking with the seconds and the fighters themselves whether they still had the will to fight and whether they were still in fighting condition. As a result, a “koka“ resulted from Egawa's high kick at the end of time. This was Egawa's first match in the U19 category. Considering his future development, it would have made a big difference whether the match was stopped after a one-sided fight or ended with a show of his own ability or possibility at the end. It was a match that showed the advantages of an exchange tournament under unofficial rules.
