In the 2nd encounter, our character has grown stronger to resist the knockback on it, at least until Zenos whips out the Amane-No-habakiri(?) or whatever the sword is called for a power up.
Speaking of, we can just take a look at how much damage we are inflicting on him compared between the two instances. Before we could barely land a hit on him, or any hits we did against him practically didn't phaze him, and this is partially shown in that we only managed to damage his blade and nothing else by the end of the fight. In the 2nd instance he recognizes we've grown stronger and we're actually capable of dealing actual damage to him until he pulls out the sword for a huge powerup, and the gap of power is quickly highlighted as once again we can barely even phaze him. Concentravity also is capable of blowing us away whenever he uses it once again once he unleashes that power, further showing the gap of power increasing. There's also the fact that we actually manage to do more than break his sword, we actually damage his helmet, showing we've grown stronger.
Then at the end of the SB MSQ, we're capable of going toe-to-toe with him, even with him unleashing that exact same power from before, showing just how much our character has shortened the power gap. Despite it capable of blowing us away easily before, we've grown so strong that Concentravity's raw strength is easily shirked once again and we don't get knocked back.
