[He knew the moment Giovanni took up the challenge that he was probably outmatched. After all, this man was far from a normal human. But he had picked fights with those who saw themselves as stronger than man for a long time now. In in all his years experience, the one thing he had learned was that, where they exceeded in supernatural strength and ability they also exceeded in over-confidence and hubris.
Giovanni's kick was fast, stupidly fast. And the way he dipped down for a kick left Sanzo unable to attack further. Instead causing him to take the defensive by stepping to the side and stepping away from his opponent. The good thing about roundhouses, no matter how quick your opponent was, they needed to pull a full three-sixty from their standing position first. This gave Sanzo just enough time to duck back and avoid the kick, before backing away from Giovanni, attempting to garner some distance between the two of them.]
