She tried to block as many of the incoming blows as she could, but some of them still got through her defenses. They hurt, and were only mediated by the fact that she was almost dodging and not quite taking the full force of the attacks.

At this point, he was going too fast for her to try catching his arm for another throw just yet, but she was dealing with the pain a little better than before. Perhaps it was the adrenaline, or perhaps it was her natural Saiyan instincts surfacing, making her shrug off the pain in favour of hitting back (or trying to).
