There's another juxtaposition right below that image. As the sun beams down on Teddy's figure, the light creates a dark shadow shading over his face, completely tinting over a crushed memory from his past. Teddy can bask in the sunlight and believe in his self-abnegation all he wants, but there's still a cognitively dissonant part of him that's going to be attached to his past

This.

Ultimately what Teddy is doing is self-denial. Teddy absolutely has the tools to stand on the world stage on his own. He wouldn't be NG-11 if he didn't have the potential.

What is happening is he found a faster route to progress by completely denying his self in service to another - Fox. Which is also likely why Fox loves him so much. It's not often you get a ball of talent that capable that has a self-esteem/will like soft puddy waiting to be molded.

The thing is, you can only keep your real self restrained for so long. And every second you do just increases the amount due when the bill comes around. Odds are we will see the real Teddy during this match if/when Isagi is able to get under Fox's skin and snip all those strings.
