 In a tournament arc, a opponent that is so obviously more powerful than the protagonist, that the protagonist doesn't stand a chance. Except, the opponent is very lazy, and prefers to use the minimum amount of power possible to fight. Meaning that if the protagonist can open with a powerful enough strike and achieve a quick victory, they can win before the opponent goes full power.
