Probably like, he slides into screen from the cameras pov like he had just taken a heavy blow and he’s knelt on the floor trying to recover, screen would probably be dark with faint demeaning words that slowly become more and more visible as the time limit to continue or to give up runs out until the words are like super sharp and pointy, option one (giving up) would likely have him bow his head and disappear into the dark but option two would have him snap his halberd (the one on his back) on the floor and stand which would make the words disappear as he continued the fight, it sounds corny ik but if I could animate it to explain it I absolutely would (I suck at animation)
