But it was stated in the series that the Guren SEITEN was superior spec-wise to the Lancelot Albion, giving Kallen another advantage. Even knowing that, Suzaku practically had to forfeit that fight or the identity of the second Zero would have been suspect to the public. Either way, Suzaku's Knightmare exploded and Kallen's fell apart and she fainted, so that fight was pretty much a draw.
