On the other hand, this period was not completely spotless, as acola began to develop a few new problematic opponents. The first was fellow Smashmate rival {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, who at that point was also a contender for the best player in the world. Although acola had a strong record against Miya, this record began to shrink in the fall, notably after Miya blocked acola from winning another premier event by double-eliminating him at {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}}. The second was {{Sm|Sonix}}, who finally fought acola at {{Trn|Port Priority 8}} in a highly yet ironically anticipated matchup. The set ended in a devastating 3-0 from Sonix, and acola ultimately fell to Miya for 3rd, failing to win yet another premier event. Although these performances did little to hurt acola's overall standing, they also showcased how he was not as invincible as many players had assumed. This was the most apparent at acola's final event of the season, {{Trn|Watch The Throne}}, where he lost to Sparg0 and Sonix for 4th, albeit with better performances against both players. As such, although acola's record against almost everyone remained close to spotless, his record against the rest of the top 4, especially against Sparg0 and Sonix, was less than exemplary. Nonetheless, his dominant performances and impressive consistency was enough to help him maintain his #1 spot, being ranked 1st on the [[LumiRank 2023]]. | On the other hand, this period was not completely spotless, as acola began to develop a few new problematic opponents.

Going into 2024, acola had a lot to prove after receiving somewhat disappointing results towards the end of 2023, with Miya being regarded by some players as the best player for the second half of 2023.

He almost immediately fired back after an impressive run at {{Trn|Umebura SP 9}}, a Premiere tier event, repeating victories against fellow top 5 player Glutonny and notably claiming victory over Miya in grand finals, the first time he had beat one of the other horsemen since {{Trn|DELTA 5}}. However, the next couple of months would see Acola not attending many events of note. Acola began to work more on his Aegis, using it to defeat Doramigi in two games in grands of {{Trn|Kamisuma 22}}, as well as defeating Asimo using Aegis in the final game of grand finals at {{KOWLOON 10}}. | ||
