A sword strike like that, from him, should cleave a monster clean in two. Instead, Sephiroth notes that while indeed its path has struck a sharp slice into the Eaters skin, it's nothing more than a flesh wound and has ultimately done nothing to subdue or hinder the monster.
Sephiroth leaps back into line with the rest of the combatants, just in time for it to counter. He brings Masamune back and around to block automatically but either the Eater's long sweep has much more strength than he expected, or his block isn't nearly as solid as it's supposed to be. Though deflected, the blow knocks his stance forwards and to the side, stumbling to a knee. Just as well since Cloud's fireball and Luffy both then come in for attack from behind him.]
