Yeah that was just me taking a chance to make a reference =P and well...... emotion and reason don't go well together. :) Reaching a proper conclusion requires swallowing of excess pride. But then you would have characters that are harder to portray as unique personas so this works fine. In shounen it is sort of a regular thing for antagonists to get overly prideful, cocky, arrogant etc. and usually signals that they are to be defeated real soon. Find an antagonist at full power that remained cool and collected without overestimating himself and you got yourself someone that is much harder to defeat as there is smaller room for error.
