A good fight but leaving me disappointed. I guess we can blame the digestor soul he consumed and the high testoron of his 'host'. But willingly going into some kind of berserk state is really unlike him. So far he has always been portrayed as a thinker who acts logically based on his circumstances and wouldn't follow his emotions like this in a fight willingly. Especially since this was triggered by an oracle path. If he let go of his emotions because a close one to him died or because he was in a hopeless situation with no hope in sight I would understand. But in such a controlled place with a 'friendly' duel it seems really not like him. I hope this doesn't become a regular battle tactic of his. To put this in perspective... the same battle could have happened without the emotional stuff.. the oracle could have given him a way out by realizing he could use his body and newly gained stats in a more efficient way and the outcome would have been the same. Without being so unlike him.
Tha ks author, great writing. I'm sure that Jake won't often go into this rage-fueled, fighting trance. It's purpose was probably to serve as a way for Jake to rely purely on instincy and allow his body to be used to the max, nor reservations. and emotions can prevent you from doing that, especially if you haven't *thought* about doing exactly whay you did. Basically, he wouldn't haverealosed the extent of his capabilities wuthout this berserk state, but I don't see him doing something like this often because a) he's a fairly level-headed person, b) it won't be as effective until he becomes stronger and c) i forgot đł
