story question (Stormblood)

[Tarryme]

I'm a bit confused with Storm blood. It doesn't seem to follow on with the story very well. People, principals and even voices have changed. And what I really don't get is how and why after you defeat someone they are able function better than before the fight. What did I do, give them a gentle telling off?
It's like what's-his-name, I defeat him yet he goes on to make a long speech as if he had won the fight, and then, get's his balls out and uses them to summon a dirty great big primeval. Sometimes the game really tests your imagination to the point of silly.

After a battle it now feels as if my opponent has felt sorry for me and pretends to have lost just so I don't cry. No one has the heart to tell the warrior of breadcrumbs that they are a joke.
