Well, it did make more sense in the LN since, as I recall, they were out cold. What they saw was huge, terrifying enemy appears, overpowers them, then they wake up in a hospital getting treated for their wounds. Technically speaking, that does resemble the "meant to lose" scenario you'd see in a game. Doesn't change the fact that it's mostly just them trying to cling to anything that makes them still the unbeatable hero who's always right and can never make a mistake.
