Without saying a word, Izaroth swiftly vanished from where he was, reappearing out of sight, masking his power level, and waited for Trunks to take the bait, thinking Trunks would assume he'd reappear behind him and subsequently try to turn around and strike him, with fist or sword remained to be seen, only to hit nothing.

Once Trunks had indeed taken the bait, Izaroth initiated step two of his plan; Vanishing once more and reappearing behind Trunks, Izaroth then launched the purple-haired swordsman skyward with the backflip kick mentioned in the plan, though not before shouting out "PULL!", signalling it was Blaze's turn to act.

"Your time to shine. Make it count." Izaroth said to himself, looking up at Trunks and Blaze.
