>you mean that the danger of losing looks more genuine on their part?
No, I mean it's more honest about when there isn't any risk of losing. Instead of trying to play up the threat of henchman that the audience knows the protagonists are going to beat, shounen like Yaiba make it pretty clear through their tone that the question is how the heroes will win rather than if they will win.

Like in this episode. Sure, this guy was turning everyone to stone. But it doesn't spend time trying to convince the audience that the heroes are actually going to get wiped out, because everyone knows that's not going to happen. Instead it's clearly about Yaiba needing to find a way to win without them.
