That was a surprisingly good arc.

I got Punk'd. I thought he would go Rōnin around the world but I guess not. I bet that little pep talk with the Elder do the trick.

the golden question
I think he felt that he dragged Honoka to this mess (responsibility and she reminded of his Lil-sis) + he knew Kenichi took damage from all of Loki attack so he also was trying to be fair (no advantage in the fight so he could accept his win if he ended wining the fight)...

Then he could've just postponed the fight to a later date. Only reason it was done was to make Kenichi's win not completely implausible after all that happened before.

Doesn't look like Kenichi is ever going to lose again with his opponents now stabbing themselves. Hope they don't become friends.

I thought it was so that Honoka wouldn't accidentally get hurt or something

Nice conclusion to the best arc so far, hope the story stays strong like that.

pretty sure he did it to give himself a disadvantage so that he can fight on equal footing as kenichi, since kenichi took his and loki's beatings
