This whole scene is so sweet, they’re practically speaking the same language even though Judai’s not familiar with fossils. 

It is a nice moment and it is a problem that these scenes between them are just flashbacks. Jim’s determination to save Judai would have meant a lot more if we had actually seen these moments earlier in the season. Granted, they didn’t really have much time to do something like that, especially when they were emphasizing a connection between Judai and Johan more than anyone else out of the new cast, but this would have been more effective and less sudden if their friendship had been established a lot sooner.

I feel the exact same way. I would’ve much preferred these scenes happening in real-time instead of as flashbacks right before Jim duels him. Things should build up over time instead of just being all thrown at the viewer right before they matter. Nothing we can do about it, though.
