Oh, that really does put a sad spin on the "Gokudera loses" scenario ... HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, imagining Gokudera's face. hahahahaaaaa

But if he does lose, it's totally going to be a noble sacrifice. I dunno, he has to fling himself in front of Lambo/Tsuna/Reborn's lazy butt at a critical moment and forgo a win. possibly Shitt P will get to go "See, you should totes fight for yourself", but the Vongola will shoujo sparkle at each other and know he's done the right thing.
