I figured the Invisible Hand duel is just standard ROTS Anakin. At least, that's what I call one of Anakin's feats pre suit. I don't credit him with any special buffs for that. Unless you people are calling pulling his head out of his hindquarters a buff. 😛(As opposed to Mortis. Now THAT is a buff)
Some people on this forum used to believe that "Zonakin" was Anakin tapping into his full potential. Therefore, they believed that Zonakin could tool even Sidious and Yoda.
The movie and the novel both imply that Anakin used the Dark Side to defeat Dooku.
In the movie, Dooku says something along the lines of: "You have fear; you have anger, but you don't use them." Then Anakin gets pissed.
In the novel, Palpatine convinces Anakin to use his fear or something like that. Then there's the whole nuclear furnace heart mumbo jumbo.
Basically, Zonakin is a relic of the past -- a past full of faulty reasoning.
