You wiped off the teal colored ink that Big Man attempted to attack you with off the side of your face.

Big Man let out a heavy breath, adjusting his small mask on his eyes. "Ay.. AY!! (You've got guts, kid.. but no more kid gloves, it's BIG MAN TIME!!)"

Scrunching up his face a bit, he covered himself in the teal greenish ink again, flopping on the ground to form into a much bigger manta ray.

You noticed the platforms rose more as well as his attacks getting more reckless.
