[quote=Kurisa]
The masked man watched Yu take the attack and go flying back as he was then caught in the explosion, however once the dust had cleared Yu was nowhere in sight. The masked man then felt a disturbance in the wind as he looked up to see Yu coming down at him "" The man then raised his left arm as Spiritual energy wrapped around it, he then used his left forearm to block the attack then he pulled his left forearm away as he slashed across at Yu, Spiritual energy once again wrapped around his Zanpakuto ready to fire off in an arc

His kick was blocked by the man who used spiritual energy to help block it, so it led Yu to think that he could use it for both attacks and defense, thse in a way assured Yu that using stronger Hakuda moves wouldn't outright kill him. So when the man slashed at him again Yu sidestepped it then started shunpoing al laround the man, each one getting closer, even doing a feint every now and then. The trick was to make the man think he was going to strike only to shunpo away and go from a different spot, so after a few times doing this, he would appear in front of him but this time for real, attempting to deliver a fury of punches to the man. Yu could also feel that if the man didn't surrender now, then he would have no choice but to kill him at any means neccsary.
