I thought it was pretty obvious that the "only one will survive" was for gratuitous drama and tension. Authors do this (exaggerate) to make things more interesting, I believed this was "Writing 101"? You know how in Saint Seiya the Athena Exclamation is supposed to have the power of the Big Bang but when three/two-and-a-half of them collided they only managed to destroy half of the Sanctuary?
