And this is where ANY unprepared run will end.

Szabo & co are fast (I mean, REALLY fast), and even someone with Ninja Swiftness (Shu and Zola) will have trouble to not be out-speed.
Now the point that make this battle impossible to win if you come unprepared is that at his first turn, Ku (the guy with the guns) will start a combo which ends up with Sai casting Raging Flames, a powerful fire attack (both a physical and magical attack, so no way to counter it with Wall or Walla) which deals around 180 damage per character.

Obviously, if the whole team take this attack without any protection, the survivors will not be fast enough to heal their wounds or kill these guys (all of them have more than 1700 HP). And this is where all the items I got previously come into account.

Shu and Zola got the 2 Bellybutton Ring of Fire of the game, so that Sai can only heals them with his attacks. Both Jiro and Marumaru have Max HP +25% and Magic Defense Up, the first one also have a Black Belt (halve all elemental damage) while the second have the Shield Earring and Leather Belt (+45 HP).

This setup allow everyone but Kluke to survive the attack. Now, since Sai is a healer for my two fastest characters (Shu and Zola), I must kill the 3 other guys as soon as possible. 3 Waterus are enough to kill Mai and Kesu, but I should not kill Sai too fast as Ku's attacks only deal half damage while he is on the back row (and he still hurt a lot !) .

Once they are all dead, Szabo is a lot easier as he has "only" one turn to wipe out my team with his "Szabo Full-Range Attack", but thanks for me he used a single target attack on this attempt.

Also, sorry about the little sound problem between the two fights, it seems it's a recording problem, and I am not going to redo this segment just for that.
