They are not 2x special moves but clearly superior to this. Lane and Shu using two special moves is not the same and also serves to prove the point I am making. Under normal circumstances Lane is individually a lot more powerful than either bro and he is a very strong link in this battle but yet, the two special moves used by him and Shu are no match for a tag move, tag moves definitely have an advantage over two specials. Tag moves have only ever successfully been countered by other tag moves as well, beys either lose or are knocked back in other scenarios.
¨In addition the benefit of defense types and defense type moves is their better at exactly that, defending and deflecting damage than the other types.¨
This does not make them better suited to take tag moves on, it is a situational advantage which does not occur in this scenario. As I said before, defense type moves have the disadvantage of not creating as much output power so whatever attack type moves lack in defensive properties, they make up for with their output efficiency so Hyperion would be receiving less strain and counter damage from a defense type move. In other words, defense type moves are not better, they are just as good in this case.
When we look at the tag moves themselves that's exactly what they are; two special moves used in concert. We have clear examples of this such as the ones I mentioned. Aiger and Ranjiro's tag move is a combination of Hyper Tornado and Infinite Breaker, we see that when they use the move. What makes special moves so powerful is it's a combination of two special moves used in concert instead of separately. We haven't seen anything that shows there's some other force at work when using them.
They used the End Wall and World Spin together, to defend against Twin Break Impact, not counter it. Since they were using defensive moves, it would be more capable of tanking the attack given those are dedicated defense moves.

Well yeah, I don't disagree. Just saying that they are not equivalent to using two single moves because of the synergy. Two special moves can create the same amount of output energy as a tag move however, they cannot sustain that same energy.

Defense moves are intended to deplete damage but they don´t give as much output damage as attack type moves. What I am trying to say is that using a defense type move to counter an attack type move is not strictly better than using an attack type move to counter an attack (as far as the anime goes) in a standard scenario. Hyuga may have not defeated Lane and Shu due to their defense, but he also survived and did not burst like he did in the battle with Valt and Rantaro implying that he received less output damage.
One way or another, there are still tons of ways to prove that Lane is much stronger than Sparking Valt. Such as the fact that Valt needed many advantages to simply KO Lane, the fact that Lane was dominating legends 2v1 whilst Valt was losing 2v1 scenarios and the fact that Hikaru and Hyuga still needed to 2v1 Lane to beat him (in an extremely close match where all three beys burst) when Hyuga and Hikaru beat Valt in a close 2v2. It is a mismatch and Lane is undoubtedly better.
Not bad eh?
