There is a sense of no turning back for all three of them: they’ve made their decision and they have to stick to it. Yukimura’s words when Sanada accepted what he asked: “This is enough”, Shiraishi’s famous speech: “Until the last point is scored, I will continue playing my perfect tennis.” Kite is a rather interesting case because I think both Kite’s character as well as Higa’s team got examined in more detail. I don’t think they got changed for the better, because I think that is what they are like (only that we didn’t see it in the manga Just like Watanabe’s comment about how this is all the result of Shiraishi’s hard work). But in the OVA, I found Kite’s words really sad, when he thought the following: “How can I lose like this? I am willing to do anything in order to win.” This really shows a sense of no turning back. I think Kite knows that what he does is wrong, yet he accepts it. I think it is also necessary to take the previous bit into account, when he replied the following to Tezuka: “Spare me your lectures.” I think this bit is actually really symbolic. To be honest, I do find Tezuka’s preaching a bit annoying, even though Kite is wrong. But I can not help but to feel: “Yes, it is easy for you guys to say this because you went through so little problems.” I don’t think Kite can use what happened to him as a justification because that is not true (Advertisement: One of my one shot: “Permission to cry” deals with this idea of how you can not use what you went through to justify your actions.) I think what I feel is this, that Tezuka is judging and condemning people without really looking into all the circumstance and I think the reason I don’t like it that much is because: “Hey, you aren’t exactly behaving like a saint either.” I mean, does he ever scold Echizen for saying all these really rude things? (Apologies to Tezuka fans, I don’t really like Tezuka.
