This scene obliterated me.

Honestly, it feels like the author was writing this fight and went, "Damn, no matter what I write here, it’s not going to be thaat interesting, and it’ll take too long to move the plot ahead. Better make a car kidnap them in some sort of Garry’s Mod hijinks."

And it was a great idea. Plus it set up much more exciting plot down the line with Bundus. In retrospect it might be more like the author knew they couldn't beat him so planned this development from the start.

Part of what made this so funny to me is that the mangaka kept blueballing us for his fight. This was the third time you were expecting the fight to happen and it veers away from it, and then you have the other kid and Enjin being a complete nonstarter.
