That was plot armor at its finest.

Pretty sure free spin works well against anything in the anime context unless you could power through it, probably meaning that Lui would have to use his special move or even combine with Drum, but that may not work either.

The Storm plate magically drained all of Satomb’s stamina? No, Super Tornado did. Anyways Lui can easily power through hurricane with just a raging upper.

Rantaro’s.

A bit of quick thinking saved him which is good on Ranjiro's part. And yeah, Sisco COULD defend against Drum and Lui in some way, but we'll have to see how far the take this. If it's another Sisco focused episode then I have a little bit of hope.

It’s almost like he purposely lined up the attack so after he finished he would hit the Storm plate.

So Ragnurak didn't lose all it's stamina either? Satan had the advantage but the storm plate helped Ragnurak survive a tad bit longer, plain and simple. And yes, I'm not saying that Raging Upper can't power through Triple Twister. I'm saying that it may not be that easy.

I hope we see more of a focus on Dragon's bound mode and possibly Free's absorb mode (though probably not in this battle). After that first advertisement for Dragon, bound mode has just been there for a setup which is true, but annoying when he could still use Bound Wing or Double Bound.

Nah, it's because he was holding Satan back from the storm plate. He didn't line up nothing.

But it wasn’t really plot armour as Valt was the one who was protected by plot in order for him to progress to the semis. It was more like a dramatic effect. Kinda there to shift the focus onto Free and Silas.

The fact that Roktavor did tgat amount of damage is still bs.

Ignoring the fact that Satomb had no stamina yet again.

Most likely just a simple speed up, but that could become a special move.

Give Rantaro a pass on that one lol. You gotta admit that it wasn’t too bad seeing him finally do something.

He did the same thing in evolution. It’s a speed up technique that uses the driver gimmick.

Not saying that Satan didn't lose its stamina, I'm saying that Ragnurak had lost its first. The storm plate gave him a boost to overpower Satan. I'm just gonna leave that there.

The boost to overpower Satomb? It didn’t come in contact with Satomb after the Tornado.
