Just a question to the perhaps more knowledgeable members on this board (I hadn't seen it addressed and maybe I missed something glaring)...

Why exactly did Hermit stab himself near the end of ep. 34? The only explanation I have for that is that maybe he didn't want that chick to be able to wield her knife freely, and the only way to stop her was to sheath it...in his pectoral muscle. But that honestly doesn't seem like a very good explanation. If he had just delivered the "Backhand Service" and then jumped down afterward, he'd have been fine for the fight against Kenichi.
