Ask yourself the following: if such stuff's truly as
unwarranted as you say, then why is it there? why do you think it's there?

But "serious fight" is the context. Or to be more precise, "fighting" is what is happening, and "serious" is the context. The stakes are high and/or the combatants are taking this very seriously, and so we have a serious context for this fight.
My point is just because a serious fight takes place in a relatively lighthearted work doesn't detract from the seriousness of the fight itself. And with a serious fight I don't want to be distracted by fanservicey elements that are completely superfluous to the fight itself.

You seem to have this weird tendency of taking things much more seriously than they're supposed to be taken...
