Something I haven't seen anyone else note here - the centeral "target" on Uta's mask is reflective. It reflected Juuzou's knife as he attacked. With the way the straps seem connected to the central node, it's entirely possible that it's not really a target so much as a release mechanism, to take the mask off and reveal the Shinohara underneath - or the Shinohara mask (or whatever) is contained inside and released through the node, covering the target mask itself. Perhaps if Juuzou had stabbed the node instead of slashing Uta's throat, it would have automatically switched to Shinohara-mode, which may have had even more of an impact on Juuzou - after all, he would have essentially just stabbed his father-figure in the face, from his perspective.

Still a wicked way to taunt Juuzou, imo.
