Why can't subordinates be that strong? Tou was a subordinate of Ouki, wasn't he?
In the case of subordinates such as Gyou'un or Ranbihaku, it also makes sense for those type of blokes to be able match the best fighters in the verse since they are acting as the martial might of their respective Great Generals, who are incapable of fighting.
Tou or Kyou Kai are clearly special cases
Tou was meant to be a GG
Tou has been a GG for 600 chapters now
and Kyou Kai bullshit is Kyou Kai bullshit
except both of them (or maybe one that I forgot) you won’t find any no GG with a 95/96 STR stat
Gyou un was 94 Bananji 94 Ranbihaku 94
There is a reason
It’s the same with smart : no non GG had a 95+ in smart (for warfare)

This is how Hara is likely putting levels for those stats
