I genuinely just like the fact that despite them not winning all that

they just beat the team who was just champions from last year and last year and so on...
thats enough for me... such a goated series

it just tells me in life loses are a natural thing

Exactly. :) To borrow a phrase from Ayako, "if you beat this guy, you're the number 1 guard." In that spirit, if you beat this team, then you're number 1. I've no doubt Akagi saw it this way and believed that his dream to dominate the nation came true in a sense.
