it just seems like she cut off her leg for no reason... or at least I didn't understand the reason.
well,it's a teamwork between Benkei & Yoshitsune. He said something before like a secret signal about the direction of the robot arm,( this guy can predict the angle of the arm chasing from behind Benkei o_0 i know it sounds weird) and he pushed Gawain to where he think that arm would fall.Benkei cut off her leg and bash the arm down, and the assassin take heavy damage.It's probably a bit strange but it's not for no reason, if she kept her leg clamped, the bones would eventually cracked and she couldn't help her boss fight against those lunatic assassins.
