BoRots Anakin vs Darth Plagueis

It even adds more to Anakin's personal grievances for Dooku, saying that that the same Dooku belittled Anakin and tried to put his wife, Padme to death. Zonakin is just a forum term for the rage amped Anakin who stomped Dooku, but this isn't the Anakin that the OP is considering, the OP said that we're considering LS Anakin, who has a non-existent relationship with *PLAGUEIS.

There was a thermonuclear furnace where his heart should be, and it was burning through the firewalls of his Jedi training. He held the Force in the clench of a white-hot fist. He was half Sith already, and he didn't even know it.

This boy had the gift of fury.

And even now, he was holding himself back; even now, as he landed at Dooku's flank and rained blows upon the Sith Lord's defenses, even as he drove Dooku backward step after step, Dooku could feel how Skywalker kept his fury banked behind walls of will: walls that were hardened by some uncontrollable dread.

But for Anakin, in the fight there is only terror, and rage.

Only he stands between death and the two men he loves best in all the world, and he can no longer afford to hold anything back. That imaginary dead-star dragon tries its best to freeze away his strength, to whisper him that Dooku has beaten him before, that Dooku has all the power of the darkness, to remind him how Dooku took his hand, how Dooku could strike down even Obi-Wan himself seemingly without effort and now Anakin is all alone and he will never be a match for any Lord of the Sith-But Palpatine's words rage is your weapon have given Anakin permission to unseal the shielding around his furnace heart, and all his fears and all his doubts shrivel in its flame.

Anakin’s atomised.

I accidently wrote Dooku instead of Plagueis because I was typing so fast that I wasn't thinking, nor was I reading what I wrote. Anakin has a non existent relationship with Plagueis because he has never met him, so there's no emotional baggage.

Dooku then taunts him, making Anakin limit himself. After being goaded by Sidious, Anakin then utterly stomps him.
