I'm with Fish in considering this just 'the' Den-O arc. I must have seen this, lik, 6 years ago, and it just sums up the show's mission statement in one. Sure, maybe you can't change the big things in time, but you can do small things, and even those small changes can make all the difference. Pre-Sid may not have got that big break, but he no longer has the guilt weighing him down, and that's something. Momotaros is still a hothead, but he's starting to gain the most begrudging respect for this kid he's bonded with. And Ryotaro... yeah, he may not be the most physical, but that doesn't make him not strong. A good, precious boy.
