"Logically speaking, a newbie that just became a Yin-Yang Master won't be able to maintain three Spirit-branded Retainers. But, since it's you… maybe you'll actually be able to do it."

"In the absolute worst-case scenario, just you and I will fight together, and we'll make Akatsuki only be able to use a two-person team for the duel… He'll likely agree to this as well, but will probably demand conditions of his own in exchange."

"Understood." Seiji nodded.

At any rate, the number of Spirit-branded Retainers that he was able to maintain would be the critical point.
