If he beats a pair without losing any limbs, they're completely gone from the trial.
If he beats a pair but was injured, they are still in the trial and he would 'slide back' to them as soon as he would lose to the next pair (simo is re-do).
It played out such that he essentially had to eventually beat all pairs in a match that he sustained no injury. Which is pretty ridiculous imo considering the pairs. Given the goal is to solidify defense and self-preservation strategy, it works.
