• Izuna’s skeletal Susanoo strikes the ground, but Sora evades the blow and races along its arm to attack at close range.
• When Izuna dismisses Sora’s Rasengan as ineffective against Susanoo’s “absolute defense,” Sora enlarges it into a Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan. The attack cracks Susanoo and threatens to shatter it.
• Madara tells Izuna to retreat with the force rather than resist it. Izuna follows the advice, gets driven back, and avoids serious injury, though much of Susanoo’s front breaks apart.
