The use of "flung" and the kanji for turning away are puns used by Poju to liken the eye contact made to a sumo match. In this match, Kintarou takes the submissive role in turning away. He refers to always winning in sumo with arrogant language, but tapers off with doubt. This uncharacteristic doubt along with the submissive role he takes foreshadows what is implied to happen after. I wish there was a manga of this.

Anonymous #3, this image is a take on a traditional Japanese folktale. In the tale, Kintarou is a boy with superhuman strength who defeats a bear in a sumo match(among other things). This image makes a lot more sense if you are familiar with the story.
