1: Hood
Tezuka appreciates most types of music although rap isn’t quite his favourite genre.
2: Buzz

15: Wisdom
Tactical wisdom is embodied in his grandfather, practical wisdom in his father, subtle wisdom in his mother - he strives to master all three.

18: Minute
Even if every minute is like a living hell, he still shouts at his team to stay out of the court when he falls - there is no greater pain than that of being needlessly disqualified.
19: Cotton
Cotton reminds him of his late grandmother who used to take great delight in making clothes out of cheery cartoon printed cloth for her five year old grandson.

48: Prison
To Tezuka, there is no stronger prison than the one he had made and entered when he thought his pain was greater than himself.
