It's a truly inspiring idea that helps make this fight to stand out even more over the other major demon encounters in the series
Tokito is happy against Gyokko when it comes to acting as a three-on-one argument. What stands out most of the combat is Gyokko's twisted passion for his macabre creations which he refers to as his "artwork". It's a particularly twisted look at Satan's psyche.
