I felt like Tokai was sort of on Takashina's side as well, like they way he makes the bets, I doubt he really thought Sera would quit, but then again.... Man the whole demon thing is too cool.
But I really agree on Tokia one point, if the snipe worked the way its supposed to, then a lot of unskilled surgeons would be trying it out without considering all the factors that could cause trouble. You need to be skilled, I really wish the other doctor the one who switched hands quit, he always gets Tokia to do his surgery and still bad mouths him.
