Clarification about this use of どこまでも


I'd like to ask about this phrase, particularly on the meaning of どこまでも as
this is the first example I've see of it used together with 余裕{よゆう}:
どこまでも余裕{よゆう}を見{み}せてくれる

For context, this is said by a man right after his nemesis calls for a bunch
of backup and moves behind them to observe the upcoming fight. If it matters,
this is the second time he's done this.

Am I correct in reading this as something akin to "He's giving us a wide
berth...", the どこまでも余裕{よゆう} indicating that speaker's enemy is keeping a
constant distance from him? Or, should I read it as "Always keeping his
distance...", the part being meant to evoke criticism on the fact that the
enemy has the habit of running behind his men when push comes to shove?

Thanks for the insight.




I personally don't feel the words mesh very well with the situation you've
explained, though I have no idea how the plot is actually going on. Maybe a
page of the original work would be helpful and not infringe the New York State
law.

However, my first impression tells that 余裕 in your quote isn't meant to be
physical distance or margin, but mental relaxedness. Otherwise, I think it's
unnatural to use it with verb 見せる "to let one see, to show" here.

And for どこまでも, it literally means "however far ( _sth_ goes)", but not _I go_
or _you go_ here, since 余裕を見せる is very unlikely to take location words. Thus
it should mean "however far it goes", or "what may happen". どこまでも is an adverb
which doesn't directly modify a noun 余裕, just to be sure.

One clear thing found in the sentence is a provocative nuance. Using くれる "give
to me/us" in unfriendly situations implies strong sarcasm.

With all the above, the most approvable interpretation I think is:

> You dare act so chill coming this far, huh?
