Yes, Rago acknowledged the fact that Ryuga stood against him for so long, there’s no doubt about that. However, it was ultimately just a long game Rago as playing with Ryuga where he had foreseen his defeat earlier. Rago was actually trying to beat Kenta, not play with him. He was pretty much going all out at that point.
2: Actually, Nemesis was said to not even be using half its power. Ryuga may have lasted longer but Rago was playing around him with for a good chunk of that match. Before the black sun had consumed most of the world, Kenta was matching Rago who was actively trying to eliminate him at that point with no holds barred (since the four season bladers were together thus, creating the possibility of sealing Nemesis away) and even then, they were momentarily equal when they brought out their aura’s. It was practically a stalemate since Aguma was the one who held Kenta back by telling him to complete Zeus’s barrier.
3: In the metal fight anime damaging someone’s bey is a big deal. Kenta damaging L-Drago was effectively a kick in the face for Ryuga and it’s pretty much the follow up to the “the brief moment that made him serious.” It obviously affected him tbh
4: Withstanding one of Gingka’s special moves in an non-climactic scenario is definitely not that crazy and being a legendary blader doesn’t really make you all that powerful by itself, he got one shotted by Pluto after all. His anti feats outweigh anything good he has actually done and there are plenty of non legendary bladers with better feats.
1: That's also not true. If Nemesis would of went full power, that would literally SPELL the end of Kenta. The star fragment evolution was such a surpise a HUGE comeback, that even Rago was baffled. He didn't know the abilities of the newly evolved bey of Kenta, and it should also be noted that Nemesis didn't have the shadow counterpart of Kenta's bey as Nemesis did of all other beys.
2: It wasn't a stalemate. Kenta would've lost easily. You realize, Nemesis was caught off guard and did not know of any power of sagittario.
3. Yes the first sentence is true. But, the only reason kenta managed to barely scratch L Drago was because the attack was in the sky, and breaking or bursting or flicking a bey outside of a stadium's a BIG deal, not just scratching it.
4: It should also be noted that Pluto was a strong blader, and the person didn't know of any abilities of Pluto's bey, and even Kenta had a lot of trouble fending out firefuse darkhelm. The reason why Dynamis got one shotted was that Dynamis wasn't ready for the attack, and the attack was from above, almost any bey except for Nemesis and L Drago would've been sent wobbling by the attack.
1: Nemesis was most definitely going full power. Rago never said that he was holding back and he had no reason to either seeing as the legendary bladers actually had a chance to stop him. Nemesis did have the power of Kenta’s bey, we just never saw him use it directly against Kenta, it was established that Nemesis had the power of all the legends as well as the beys of all the bladers they had fought, plus he used flash saggitario when fighting Gingka.
2: Kenta didn’t really know much about Nemesis either, all he really knew was the same thing everyone knew “it was the god of destruction.” He had only been fighting for a few moments before Flame Saggitario began to get annihilated and its ascension into Flash Saggitario only occurred a little bit afterward. And while Rago was caught off guard, he clearly dismissed his worries evident by his reaction to Madoka directly describing Flash Saggitario’s abilities, he says “that doesn’t matter” before unleashing his powerful aura.
3: Putting a huge dent in a bey as powerful as L-Drago wis definitely a big deal. As a matter of fact, they only bey to do that up until that point was Gingka with the power of 3 different bladers. I also don’t think it had to do only with the fact that it was a Sky attack. There had to be some emotional significance to the power Kenta received.
4: Getting one shotted is still pretty saddening. If he really was all that strong, he should have at least survived the attack, not been eliminated. Doubt he would fare all that well in a real match if that’s the best he could do. It’s not like the circumstances were all that unfair either. Pluto was definitely very powerful, but if you are a blader worthy of being in the top 10 it seems pretty rediculous for you to get knocked out in a single hit in a scenario like that.
