Even with the warning, Beast Boy is taken by surprise when the U-Man stumbles forward. His reflexes kick in and he shifts into one his most used forms, a massive gorilla, and bounds at the U-Man, grabbing him by the sword arm and squeezing hard. The man screams and drops the weapon. Beast Boy wonders if he felt a bone break under his hands, but there's not time to hesitate now. He draws back and punches the U-Man's face, sending him crashing backwards towards Xu Shu.

If he was a normal human, that would be the end of the fight, but who knew what powers the U-Man might have up his sleeve.
