After all, if the purpose of that fight would only be to show how much progress Tsukune has made, Ikeda could very easily do it in the form of a flashback to one of Tohou Fuhai's and Tsukune's training sessions, but he didn't do that, and actually put Tsukune in a situation where he has to face some other pretty powerful opponent, which is the worst possible option, since Tsukune could get wounded and is definitely going to use up a considerable amount of his youkai energy to be able to defeat Kuyou on his own...

Overall, if the fight against Kuyou wouldn't give Tsukune any benefits, it would put him into a serious disadvantage against Akua, and apart from his vampire transformation I don't see anything that Tsukune would need to "upgrade"...

Of course, there is always the option that Tsukune became so ridiculously powerful that he needs those limits for Akua to have a reasonable chance of defeating him, but I believe that's less likely due to the fact that the training before the infiltration to Fairy Tale's HQ only lasted for a single month, and I doubt that Tohou Fuhai is a specialist, when it comes to the abilities that Shinso vampires posses...
I have thought of the possibility that a deus ex machina, power-up or the finalization of Tsukune's transformation would take place during his and Kuyou's fight but this would most likely happen in his battle against Akua, in his current state i don't think Tsukune can fight on equal grounds with Akua just yet or perhaps he can we will just have to see.

The deus ex machina, power-up or transformation finalization is where Tsukune's Shinso blood will play a huge part in, i know of consequences that can happen as a result of this but these 3 options have a very high probability of happening, i can't help but get the impression that Ikeda is setting this up to happen.

This just all depends on what Tsukune has learned considering he is a fast learner and has the body of a splendid youjutsu user than he has probably has learned a LOT in just one month from Touhou Fuhai, i'd like to think that he can defeat Kuyou with ease but after seeing him taking a hit from Raika i thought at first this was a result of his lack in speed to avoid the attack but it was just him being caught off guard but i'm hoping this wasn't a sign of weakness in Tsukune.

Since Kuyou's stronger than Raika this will be a very promising preview of how far Tsukune has come, Kuyou was defeated easily in season I, judging from the timeline i'd say it's been about a year and a half since then and Kuyou has had all that that time to get stronger but Tsukune hasn't been sitting around either, but usually antagonists that come back for revenge suffer an easy defeat like how it was between Hitomi and Moka but only this time its Kuyou and Tsukune. Time to settle the score with that cocky fox.
