I know that closing your eyes generally focuses your mind but boy it's really counterintuitive to everything Aoi learned this time. He knows that the enemy moves much better than expected and so he decided to close his eyes as he stopped moving? And I'm pretty sure wide vision and excellent memory aren't equal to precognition, at least they shouldn't be, against a high level opponent.
I guess it's just cooler to do it like that. It's not like the enemy gonna stop a transforming power ranger right. It's a manga what am I ranting for.
