Now it all makes sense. Despite Riboku having all the advantages, Kanki got more Ws throughout the battle. It was all because Hara planned to kill Kanki here.
I didnt think Hara would kill him off because historically Kanki was able to escape from this battle if I remember correctly. Thats why all the Kanki Ws were passing me off. Had Kanki escaped, Riboku would look like a fool with more soldiers on his side fighting in their home court.
