I forget, did the series explain what each of the 4 styles are? I think the water one is grappling and holds, but otherwise I don't really know.

Off the top of my head, Flame is footwork and movement, Adamantine is body-hardening, and Redirection is self-explanatory.

If Hayami turns out to be another Meguro and Akoya fights like he normally does, I seriously think the outcome of the tournament might be that Purgatory wins on points, but Toyoda decides not to go through with the merger, on the grounds that what's basically a (mildly illegal) entertainment business wouldn't benefit much from bringing in a group of fighters who'll resort to murder at the drop of a hat.

It kind of looks like Terashi could be the Tiger's vessel. His resilience seems similar to the Adamantine Kata, and the way he's setting up his hand looks like he might be preparing for Weeping Willow, which would explain why Okubo is so instinctually wary. It might also explain his lack of experience with 'modern' martial arts - the Niko style focuses on the katas, not a general system of movements.
