The Kyojuro Rengoku line
Verbatim from the source article
「この少年は弱くない 侮辱するな」
"THIS BOY ISN'T WEAK. DO NOT INSULT HIM."
Why it fits Kyojuro Rengoku
Rengoku's defence of a junior against a more senior fighter's dismissal is kōhei-mushi as a single-line judgment. He has no relationship with the boy beyond seeing the actual effort in front of him — and that is enough to overturn the room's ranking.
