Kaito Arashi stood huddled in the corner of the barren wasteland that was Dimension X. The ground shook as he held tightly onto his shadow katana, studying his opponent with squinting eyes. Chug stood still as a statue, his gaze eerily fixated on Kaito. As the battle began, Kaito unsheathed his katana from its scabbard, causing a black flame to ignite around it. He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, attempting to strike Chug with his blade, but to no avail. Chug, unaffected by the attempt, countered with a powerful energy wave that enveloped Kaito. Kaito emerged from the explosion, unscathed, and yet even faster than before. A brief pocket of slow motion formed around him, giving him the perception and reactions of a true master. He made several attempts at Chug, each one more strategic than the last, but all were redirected by Chug's energy waves. Chug made his move, teleported behind Kaito, and delivered a devastating punch to his spine. But Kaito was resilient and managed to withstand the blow. Feeling the pressure, Kaito unleashed his secret weapon – the spirit of Yukimura materialized from his katana, wielding a black fire katana, and charged forward with a flurry of strikes. Chug, unable to deflect the attack, took several slashes from the black fire katana and took a significant knockback. Kaito saw an opportunity to end the battle ruthlessly in his favor and used his time-manipulating ability, causing Chug to move in slow motion. He closed in for the kill but was stopped in his tracks. Chug, unaffected, had managed to beat Kaito at his own game. He had counteracted Kaito's time manipulation by shifting his own plane of existence and took no damage from the attack. In one swift move, Chug struck Kaito with the force of a truck, sending him flying back with immense speed. Kaito landed on the ground, defeated yet grateful that he had survived the powerful fight. Chug stood, triumphant, as he walked away in slow motion, relishing his victory. Winner: Opponent (Chug) Kaito Arashi was a formidable opponent, with incredible speed, a powerful shadow katana, and even time-manipulating abilities. However, Chug was simply beyond anything that Kaito had ever seen before. His supreme beinghood and counter-strategy outsmarted Kaito's every move, and his energy waves were enough to strike Kaito down in the end.
