They'd know if they were genre savvy. if they go all out from the start then your opponent can counter and fluke a win its better to save your ace in the hole as long as possible | ||

They rarely counter the first thing (and if they do, they only do so partially). That's why people always think they've won without having to go all-out, and then get "Ha! You didn't kill me. Now let me show you my powerup!" from their opponent. If you make your first thing the most powerful thing you have, it's very likely they'll just croak there and then. But it rarely happens in shounen manga (or stories in general, but it's most likely encountered in manga as Kubo isn't the only one who does arbitrary powerups and 1-upmanships). You have to get severely beaten before using your most powerful (at it's not so most powerful, because you can't do that when you're so severely beaten), and only then you can win. Or however the plot logic goes. I wonder if Kyo (of Samurai Deeper Kyo) is a subversion of that trope, seeing how he prefers not to go all out in the first place to give himself a challenge, or whatnot. | ||

Leave no witnesses. Just because you use your most powerful stuff doesn't mean it'll have to drain you. Actually, more often than not, you get more drained by getting beaten up before you defeat the enemy than just 1-shotting them. But that wouldn't be exciting, so authors rarely do it. They're too predictable. | ||

They're too predictable. the more you put in an attack the easier it is to do a duel exchange, if you go full out on weaklings youll just keep getting hurt more and more when you didnt need to its also possible that there ace in the hole can directly counter only your ace but cant beat you if you dont pull your ace | ||

SDK is so awesomely funny, it's still one of my favorite. SDK's power-ups can put Bleach ones to shame, but I'm sure that was intended. It's the same reason I mostly read Bleach, it reminds me of that manga, even if clearly not as good/bad. | ||

Coupled with the now "perfected" Shunkō she'd have no issues getting close enough to deliver two fast ones either. Instead she tries to punch them and then get beaten in turn. That's draining you more. Forik's argument falls flat just because of her. | ||

You try and take out your opponent with as little effort as possible to save up for the next opponent. Like when Aizen stepped in after Ichigo/Byakyua/FormerCC/Utake/CurrentCC/Soi Fong/Yourichi were all tired from battle. Let's define "going all out" as 'using your most effective attack to take someone out'. If it's draining or not depends on a specific character. In the case of Soi, her most effective way of taking someone out wold be using her Shikai and hitting someone twice. That's hardly draining. But hey, that rarely happens in manga storytelling as it would be anticlimactic (but more often than not it would enrich a story, but mangaka in general does not realise that). | ||
