This is a darker episode, delving into Hatori's backstory, his romance that Akito broke up, by not only forbidding the match but "accidentally" injuring Hatori's eye and deliberately making Hatori erase his girlfriend's memory.  Yet there's hope among the darkness, symbolized by snow melting and becoming spring.
