Stitches are no fun either, but Barry handles those better than the process of pulling the bullet out.
When Yamato finally does speak Barry cants his head, surprised that Yamato's ire is with himself and not Barry. Thinking about it a moment, Barry realizes he shouldn't be that surprised at all. Of course Yamato would take responsibility, even when the blame shouldn't be landing on him.
Shaking his head a little, Barry says, "No, man. Maybe there was something else we could've done, but your plan was definitely the best chance we had of tracking the Commander down."
Short of waiting around for the meta to decide to go on another spree, forcing him out was really the only option.
"And we needed to," he adds fervently. "Look what he's done today. Besides all the robberies and trying to kill me a bunch of times the trick he did with the traffic lights was dangerous. Ruthless even. People could've been seriously hurt, and it's like you said earlier, if we don't stop him now he's just going to keep escalating."
Barry gestures at his arm and then shakes his head.
"As for this, chalk it up to being a vigilante." Which means it's not Yamato's fault, either. "I mean, because I am. I don't even blame Eddie, given what was going down and all."
He's not pleased with the detective, but it is Eddie's job to stop criminals and lawbreakers.
"You didn't let me down at all, Yamato. If I had done some parts different today we might have Camera Commander already, but the important thing is we've still got a chance to get him, because you were here."
