That, or Miles and Kerry wanted to follow the "Willpower lets people accomplish the impossible" trope of anime (I dunno if it has an official name) and they did it badly.

Last time I heard an anime character exclaim that someone they were fighting was using willpower was when I watched Deadman Wonderland. The protagonist, Ganta, had literally just been lying on the floor because he lost too much blood, but suddenly he musters the strength to pull himself to his feet, fire too more bullets made of his own blood, and lunge at his opponent? And the only explanation is his opponent thinking "He's running on sheer willpower!"?
