A lovable, albeit hardened, criminal who calls upon demonic powers to do battle? Well, doesn't that beat all. At first glance, Lenny holds all the advantages, being obviously larger, tougher, and stronger than Rei - so, things seem to look bad. But Rei has an immense edge in speed, Protectors to ward off Lenny's petrifying strikes and all the experience he needs to break through. In this fight, Rei will need to use Weretiger's power from the word go, counting on that speed and his instinct to wear down Lenny's toughened Godhand state. And with the sheer brutality of his transformed state, this may just be enough. Inelegant, but hey, if it works you gotta run with it.
