Basically the power of Friendship ONLY works if you have ACTUAL good friends and they are redeemable in the end, not just partners who might not have the best interest in you, basically the whole "What kind of friends are these?"
That also goes the same for the farse that is "People who hate each other and constantly fight end up being the best of friends" kind of nonsense, 99% that shit happens ONLY and ONLY because the story needed it to happen, not because it made sense or it was earned, does Japan not know that humans still have the primitive animal instinct of just clashing with other people because they just do not like each other? Humans in the end are just civilized animals but still have the 3 basic instincts, Eat, Fuck and Kill, it's like with cats and dogs or polar magnets, it just clashes.
But Shonen NEVER explores this angle because "Oh noes, that's subversive"!.
But of course Mantaro needs to be chewed on because THATS THE TROPE, who cares if he actually is logical, fuck this shit.
