wasnt the problem that the sword nullifies HIS own shield? Takes all the energy from defense and puts it into offense. Something that could be advantagous in a real life-death-battle, but makes you lose per-default in this sports-situation, where "no shield" means loss. thats how i understood it.

You use some of your power to nullify all of their shield.

That's how I understood it.

But I see your understanding as valid too. You would have to assume that his sister's tournament used different rules though, since she couldn't have won like that otherwise.

That´s what confused me. How could his sister win any tournaments, when it nullifies her own shield energy? So, I guess it only drains a certain amount, then...which makes it totally overpowered...and his sister´s victories all the less impressive.
