Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it.

And he is indeed the man, I also watched both Kiva and Build recently and he was fantastic in both.

I really hope we can get him back a third time, he deserves it. Maybe one day when they need to re-cast Stronger, he would make a mighty fine Shigeru Jo!

Also, if anyone is curious, I dug up the movie and found the scene:

Once they did the actual scene the noise from the explosion was much louder than expected, so Takeda became startled and ran much faster. He urges fans to watch the scene again as he describes his facial expression as being actually scared, it wasn’t acted.
