See, the reason I was fine with the way the fight played out, and this is because me and my friend were talking about the various systems in Zero-One the other day.

While others like Thouser, Zero-One, Horobi, etc are excel at fighting solo, I feel like that can't be said the same for the Shotriser Riders. Like, I'm not trying to diss Fuwa because that dude has some real good fights and is a real powerhouse, likewise with Yua, I enjoy the way she fights as Valkyrie.

But there's just this little magical spark whenever the two fight together. My absolute favorite fight in Reiwa First Gen was Vulcan and Valkyrie fighting Another Zero-One. The two working together and combo'ing off of each other. And I feel like the fight in 33 is on par with that. Just the way Fuwa tags in by leaping and rolling over Yua's back as she stumbles in order to keep the attention on him for a bit as she recovers. The way they just compliment each other in their movements and how they're able to easily overwhelm Thouser.

It's also why I feel like the Shotriser's are only a duo team, Vulcan and Valkyrie just really compliment each other well. And I feel like the fight wasn't just Yua breaking free of ZAIA but also Yua reestablishing her partnership with Fuwa.

Oh and I forgot to mention but I absolutely adored the part at sundown where Yua just clocks Gai in the face, felt deserved especially coming from her. It was so special they made it into a special Ganbarizing finisher animation for Valkyrie!
