Y'know, sometimes I think Akiyoshi takes a perverse kind of pleasure in seeing Signum be knocked down a peg in his eyes and making everyone want to think that she's so "uncool" now... despite the fact that like everyone knows, Signum did lose at least a couple of times beforehand in the entire series... *shrugs*
On unrelated note, do want that Saber vs. Signum fight translated FTW
