Ryo's eyes widened when his fist was caught, he wasn't expecting her to be quick enough to catch it, he grit his teeth knowing what could come next, feeling the force of her blows slam into him. This woman hit hard, but he didn't put any distance between them. He took the hits in silence though his body reeled at the blows. He was patient and the moment her foot rose to kick him his hand reached ou and gripped Kinoko's ankle stopping the blow, he spun his body fully around and lifting Kinoko off her other foot slammed her down hard into the arena, turning he slammed his foot into her stomach with immense force sending her sliding a few feet back. His attacks though slower hit like a force of nature, almost like getting hit by Goku and Vegeta simultaneously in their Saiyan forms.

Ryo stared at Kinoko after forcing the distance between them, he didn't like the fact he had to stop holding back a bit. He didn't like hitting people that hard, no normal earthling would get up from an attack with half that strength. Something about this woman however made him doubt she was a normal earthling, he touched his ribs that were still aching from her earlier punches. That wasn't something any normal earthling could, this woman...was starting to pull something out of him, and he didn't like it. A part of him wanted to resign to just leave this alone, but something in his body was screaming at him to fight this woman and it was hard to ignore it.
Ryo straightned his body and raised one sleeve before a hand poked out of it, palm outwards towards Kinoko, the other hand continuing to dangle at his side.

The crowd cheered at the two fighters rising out of their seats, Goku and Vegeta watched the scene with narrowed gazes.
"Vegeta..."
"I see it Kakarot...just shut up and watch."
