Both Kensei and Rose were a little cocky this time around. Kensei is stubborn, so he might have written off Mask's counterattack as a lucky punch since he was thrashing him so effortlessly beforehand. Rose went a little crazy with his Bankai and seemed rather certain that its third song would be enough to kill Mask - he didn't expect him to resort to such an odd tactic to avoid it.

In any case, we are used to seeing characters resort to power-ups after learning that what they have isn't working. That doesn't work out so well when the enemy is strong enough to take you out of commission with one hit.
