Crayons starts to summon more swirling rings, but before it can act Tenma unleashes a Torment! Not able to use the Hidden Power it was attempting, Crayons just sits there.

But regardless, Birkal keeps ordering Crayons to use Hidden Power. So reluctantly, Tenma continues to use Torment on Crayons, while Crayons retaliates with Struggle. Tenma is now quite low on energy. It looks like Birkal's plan is to abuse Engineer's poorly worded substitution so that Tenma runs out of energy.

Ordering Crayons to use Hidden Power one more time, the plan seems to work. Tenma once again uses Torment, but then collapses and is KOed! Crayons goes in for one more pointless Struggle, though it can't attack the fainted Tenma. This match is as good as over now, as all Engineer has left is the incredibly weakened Tamama. I can't help but feel this was an anti-climatic finish for the match, but that's ASB for you...
