Ryuuto, Berserker, and Hermit together were able to defeat a (low-mid) master at the end of part 1. I very much hope that, even if they cant beat him, Hermit and Kenichi are able to stalemate this new guy. Maybe we'll even be able to get some ki-holding action from Ken againWell time to see how well Kenichi and Tanimoto will fare against a master. Don't see them defeating him especially since they're racing against time here. At least they should be able to hold their own 2v1 as two expert-class and pull a fast one over him to be able to undo the lock.
But with Kenichi giving more thoughts about what it means to be a master hopefully fighting against one should give him some more introspective. And hopefully he fares better than the past times he tried to "fight" a master like when tried to tag-team Ogata with Ryuto.
If this guy gets mid-diffed by Akisame like every other armed Yami member Im gonna be pissed lolI really like the fact the enemy is from the armed division, i hope this time they get more screentime and a proper arc, or at least presentation of each member, even more so with their disciples xD
Also maybe now Kenichi will become a real disciple of Shigure.
