There were too many Dusks: they were all over the place and no matter how many the Samurai killed, more and more seemed to be coming from somewhere. As if in an attempt to slay more Dusks, several more Samurai appeared but it was still not enough to defeat them: they had too much pride to simply slaughter all of them at once. But orders were on the verge of being disobeyed. Nonetheless, all of the Nobodies under the Thirteenth's continued to attack the countless Dusks. Even though none of the individual Samurai have been killed by a Dusk just yet, as a group, they were outnumbered.

The Dusks slowly seemed to realize the power of their numbers: they reached out for a Samurai to ensnare it successfully. It was the first loss on the latter's side.

A single Dusk managed to go over Roxas's head effectively. Samurais nearby attempted to rush to their master's aid but it as too late: at the very least, Number Thirteen would suffer from a minor injury if he managed to notice it promptly.
