She isn't fearsome to look at, but Shabon is not to be underestimated. Her surprising speed allows her to rack up powerful six-hit combos, and her evasion should let her dodge most of Suo's attacks. But that's not all; she's also competent with magic. Wind of Sleep buys her enough time to recover from Suo's assaults with her plentiful healing. While it may seem strange that a six-year-old girl who talks in the third person should best a veteran samurai in a duel, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Suo's split-second timing and masterful strokes overwhelm most in Light. His fearless style of combat has won him fans across the reaches of the DL, and now he finally gets the chance to put his blade to the test. Shabon is very young, very frail, and very much defenseless against Hyoso-Hojin. The young child will only get a few chances to attack before Suo can put her away and focus on the task of bringing glory to both himself and his honorable profession.

Shabon was ready to give this match her all.
Suo, despite having misgivings about hurting a little girl, was still willing to fight the match out, hoping for an opportunity to just incapacitate his opponent.
Neither of the fighters quite expected what happened.
When a slightly woosy, white-haired man leaped into the arena, with a mask and cape on, no one knew what to expect...
"In the name of protecting ma peches, I am...Mystere! I will defeat you, Suo!" The man cried out, and proceeded to smash the utterly confused Suo with Fallen Wings.
Then he vomited, and passed out on the arena floor.
Suo was so badly hurt by the attack that he wasn't able to show up for the rematch, either, so Shabon managed a win by default.
And Setzer just smiled, as he pocketed his massive winnings from betting on Shabon. It had been a gamble, getting Albedo truly wasted and giving him the idea to protect the little girl in the arena. (So that Albedo could keep her for himself.)
But it had paid off.
Shabon: 23
Suo: 18
