It's the cheat you get when you're not entirely human anymore - blocking better than you should be capable of. Tidus equips his assault buckler from his arms band, giving a boost as he darts in himself - this time going in with an attack towards Jecht's legs, making him flinch though he manages to break through the guard Inigo's been able to hold.

"Inigo, let's just end this quick!" There's something of a plea to it, any attempt to follow it up silence when Jecht swings the flat side of his sword at him. It knocks him back, but also knocks into his barrier, and Tidus manages to get back up, backflipping; and in the seconds he has, he initiates a spell that doesn't need much buid-up, strength and defence pulsing through Inigo with the call: "We've got this!"

Personal cheerleader Tidus is here for you!!
