Hello, I am a newcomer to this conversation. I just want to say two things regarding where the conversation is going. If you do not agree with them then I am fine with that, I just want to say what I have to say and then I will be on my way. One, Katakuri regardless of his ability to fight was probably exhausted from that battle by that point regardless of agreement regarding victory or defeat. I would wager it has been quite some time since an opponent has pushed him that much. Two, and I know this point will annoy some people but the ability to stand does not always mean the ability to keep fighting. More often then not in anime it does, but I have seen some exceptions. In the anime Saint Seiya the afformentioned character fight against another saint by the name of Misty a silver saint who described the different between himself and Seiya a bronze saint as the different between an insect and a god (rather ironic given that these individuals are supposed to eventually fight and defeat gods). After a battle in which Seiya uses a combination of old and new abilites he uses a new one that in Misty's words was going to kill them both sending them both into the ocean. Misty got on his feet and walked back to the nearby beach reflecting on how he was too concerned with getting hurt in battle while Seiya didn't care if he got hurt or died while fighting. He stated that this was what gave him his true victory before collapsing dead on the beach. So while being able to stand can mean being able to fight, there are rare exceptions. That is all I wanted to say, now I shall leave. Goodbye.
