[Hakkai dodges, just like Goku expected him to; the real goal was to get free of the vines. That much he manages, but just as he's managing to wrestle his feet loose, they're knocked clean out of the dirt and Goku falls flat on his face.
It's really not fair, Goku thinks. Hakkai can take his limiters off, but Goku can't remove his diadem. No matter how much faster Hakkai is, no matter how many tricks he has, Goku can't really go all out. Not until there's no other option. The Seiten Taisei might have the power to kill Hakkai- might be the only way Goku can possibly kill Hakkai- but if he manages it, Goku can't think of anyone else he can count on to stop him. Gojyo can't do it alone. Sanzo isn't here. There are other strong people around, but no one Goku can count on. So it's just him.
The earth is warm beneath his fingers and there's a heavy pressure bearing down on his back. He's trapped again. Goku digs his nails into the dirt. He can't beat Hakkai's speed and he doesn't have any fancy tricks, but he does have something. Quickly, Goku shoves against the shield with all his strength, aiming to break through it. ]
