Why it works
A 12-frame graphic gives way to the arena at frame 12, then the object links rapid character and action shots into one readable contest. The signature flight in shot 26 resolves through impact and reaction in shots 27–29, while the 122-frame aftermath in shot 30 leaves room for a delayed mark at 24.5 s.
