Yeah, unfortunately for Atsuro all that muscle on the Persona wasn't for show. Sure, his strength wasn't as good as its magic - but it was close. Narasimha catches the Skull Cracker and staggers back a moment, but then recovers, jumping back for a moment.

And then there was a soft glow, and Neku smirked, waiting for Atsuro to respond. Narasimha looks good as new, and his wielder just crosses his arms.
