Struck me as an example of failing to update after testing beliefs—the criminal martial artist believed he was so strong, but he still was defeated—and yet now he assumes he is unbeatable.
Or perhaps a sort of villainous mirror of heroic responsibility—All the excuses in the world don’t matter if you failed to actually get away with your villainous plan.
In a prison for supervillains, everyone is equally caught, so the MA probably has updated on Sonic being a loser, too. (Although the real question is why the MA reveals even that much about himself—what if he plans to win without kenpo.)
What’s wrong with it? Too vulgar? Too vague?

It’s not interesting.
