Finally, some interesting opposition! After the snoring whatever-it-was he had to deal with, a capable cop and fighter is just the sort of competition Ash is looking for! And this opponent may actually make his repeat run through Heavy worthwhile - Katsuya's got offense and status to hold off the phantom... if only he weren't so slow on the uptake. While it's not the most honorable move, Ash can just dart in and grab that gun before Katsuya can react, and that leaves one disarmed cop and his subpar magic damage against Ash with a rather powerful weapon to take down his opponent with. Even if his opponent manages to stall four turns against the phantom brave, for her sake, Ash shall not fail!
