While coming down the stairs, both of us were using swords. During the fight, I made a small mistake and the grip of Sunny’s hand was affected. After that shot, it was lunch break and I was a little worried, because this kind of thing is usually trusted by fighting masters. I didn’t like it, I was thinking, ‘Why did I lose focus? This shouldn’t be happening. At the same time, people from the Sunny team came to me and they specifically said, ‘Mr. Sunny said, I’m fine’.”
