Why this matters
Negative-space + name-etymology: Oda has the disguised fighter use a Dragon-coded technique and lets an on-page rival voice the discrepancy (“his battle style ain’t the same”). The reader is being primed to expect the crowd/competitors to eventually pierce the disguise — the tell is planted before the reveal.
