So That's How It Has to Be! (そうこなくちゃ) is a counter rush attack used by Artificial Human No. 18. Before No. 18's opponent attacks, she says, "That's the spirit." as she attacks them with a right knee strike to their stomach. She then backs away and moves back in to knock her opponent to the side with a left open palm strike to the side of their head, inflicting a massive amount of damage.
