[The mistake here is being convinced that a dude with a sword is a swordsman. That is just 100% wrong in this case, no matter what the universe or the producers or whatever seemed to think when they dumped him here with one.
Maybe that's evident enough when something comes charging their way and his first instinct isn't to raise the weapon. No, it's to move, and maybe panic a little that this guy isn't doing that.]
H-hey!
[Maybe this guy is experienced and knows what he's doing. But maybe he's just as lost as Shuichi and freezing up, and Shuichi isn't taking chances. So he very abruptly grabs the guy and yanks him to the side, hopefully out of their foe's immediate path.]
