Anime oddness

I noticed when watching Naruto Shippuden online how much power-levels switch in anime. This undead bruiser smashes a building and easily snares two decent soldiers (We've seen these two since day one) with freaky detachable fists. However, when they get rescued, he gets held off by a kid using basic martial arts. This kid isn't even a main character. He's one of those random uniformed ninja who usually die in five seconds.

This must have to do with anime villians obsession with looking weak and being strong. But its kind of jarring how the main characters seem to waste their magic on splashy effects, while some random kid holds off a guy twice his side with a few punches. The shift in power is just odd.
