I love how Usagi apologizes for being bumped into, that desire not to want to start a fight is one thing that really draws me to Usagi as a character. "What fools we have in this world--to have mistaken Honor for weakness." I love that line, it's just so powerful and poetic.

Interesting follow up that shows not everyone learns from a lesson when they receive one. The bet-keeper just kept on doing as he always had and eventually pays the ultimate price from another who was hurt and devastated and had her life ruined from his bets. Amazing the arrogance and ego of the opponent in forcing Usagi to confront him and not recognizing that the apology and calm Usagi shows isn't a weakness but only a strength and assurance of inner peace and honor in knowing that one doesn't always have to fight to be strong.
