It taunts him and forces him to remember a humilating defeat he suffered as a child and how his anger allowed him to become stronger. Yu tries to snap Tsubasa out of it. Eventually, Tsubasa is able to remember his past triumphants and have confidence in his own strength as a blader and overcomes the dark energy. Tsubasa has a pet eagle friend, whom is very loyal to him. It is revealed that Tsubasa met the eagle when he was a child and the eagle was just a baby that had fallen out of a nest. With no mother around, Tsubasa took the baby and cared for it. After the eagle learned to fly, Tsubasa learned that his Eagle could likely fly too.
