Forum:Confusion on Sakuretsu Armor

The below 3 points are from the Sakuretsu Armor rulings page, I am having a bit of confusion in regards to it.


 * Sakuretsu Armor targets 1 monster.


 * If the turn player chains Book of Moon to Sakuretsu Armor to flip the attacking monster face-down, then the attacking monster is not destroyed by Sakuretsu Armor
 * Sakuretsu Armor does not specifically negate the attack. If the monster is not destroyed (e.g. Six Samurai monsters), then the attack continues.[1]

I understand the first one, as it obviously targets. I also understand the 2nd point as that is self explanatory. Where the confusion lies is that third point, I understand the the example of the Six Samurai monsters, as that is there effect, but where I am confused is in regards to another monster ie Dark Blade. Sakuretsu Armor doesn't say negate, plus it isn't a continuous card where it has to stay on the field for it's effect to work. My question is this, if a Dark Blade attacks a Face up Elemental Hero Sparkman and Sparky's controller activates Sakuretsu Armor what happens?

I played it in the past, as Dark Blade would be destroyed and Sparky stays on the field, but with the forum regarding Negate vs Destroy, wouldn't that change to Dark Blade attacks Sparky's controller activates Sakuretsu Armor Dark Blade's attack still deals damage to Sparky's controller of 200 pts, Sparky is destroyed but Sakuretsu Armor destroys Dark Blade.
