Suiboku was at least pretty confident that Pandora as she is now would have been able to kill Fuukei.
That's the reason he fought him himself: To give Fuukei a quick, dignified death instead of letting Pandora tear him to shreds.
As a Mikanko main I find it kinda weird that it feels like he built his deck around supporting Ha-Re instead of Hu-Li, even if her targeting protection wouldn’t’ve helped against Nekromirror.
Ya know objectively, I think this arc's done a pretty good job of keeping a decent pace and not dragging that much.
Emotionally, I want them to hurry the hell up and punch Rock's goddamn face in already.
