Battle of the Black Skull (13)
Sunny had done it. He had dismantled Dire Fang's astonishing battle style, and peered into the very essence of it. The core of the Saint's combat technique was laid bare, with all its components — the body, the mind, and the soul — revealed to Sunny with stark clarity.

He could even perform some of the same things despite the difference in their Aspects and physiques.
And armed with that understanding, Sunny finally realized…

And their own strength was not enough to change that outcome.
