しかし、彼は屈服しないということで、いつ如何なる時も、抵抗を見せることが出来る…。
"However, since he wouldn't surrender.... he could show resistance." I'm not sure what いつ如何なる時も is supposed to mean.

3A good answer has already been provided by @Schokolade, so I will say this here. There is no equivalent of "since" in the original sentence. The basic structure of that sentence is "By doing A., he can show B at any time." The key phrase is 「ことで」.– user4032Feb 5, 2018 at 13:22

@l'électeur Wasn't ということで a way of saying "because" as you told me japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/54875/… ?– UshiromiyaFeb 5, 2018 at 13:53

1That is a different kind of ということで altogether. This one is used to describe a method.– user4032Feb 5, 2018 at 14:03

How do you tell the difference? Both sounds good to me.– UshiromiyaFeb 5, 2018 at 14:07

3Context, period. Does your TL "Since he wouldn't surrender, he could show resistance." really make sense to you? To me, "By not surrendering, he could show resistance." would make more sense.– user4032Feb 5, 2018 at 14:26

「いつ[如何]{いか}なる時も」 is a literary way of saying 「いつどんな時も」.
(いかなる is a literary way of saying どんな).
「いつ、如何なる時も」 means (literally) "at any time, at any situation", and it's an emphatic way of saying "at any time" "no matter when" (≂ 「いつでも」「どんな時も」).

As you know いつも means "every time", while 如何なる時 emphasizes いつも, so いつ如何なる時も means "every single time".

1"every single time" は「毎度毎度、毎回毎回、10回似たようなイベントがあったらそのうちの10回」という意味ですが、「いつ如何なる時も」とは意味が違います。滅多にない事象で考えると分かりやすいでしょうが、「いつ如何なる時も地震への備えを欠かさない」の冒頭を「毎回」に置き換えると相当変です。– narutoFeb 6, 2018 at 3:20
