Taking a finger or two is a low tier injury for warriors of that calibre.
Then why had no one achieved anything like it before? Hou Ken's been stabbed and cut many times, he didn't lose any parts of himself until then. Your logic here is wanting.
The difference in strength between Houken and Kyoukai was well established imo. She was crushed.
You are blatantly sidestepping the fact
Kyou Kai was nerfed and fatigue after fighting on very little food and rest for 15 days.
In terms of skill and technique, Kyou Kai is a match for Hou Ken.
In no scenario would KK have been able to beat Houken. He is her worst nightmare. He's well accustomed to defending against her fighting style and once she gets tired it's over.
Dude, she was carving this mfer like a Christmas turkey while severely disadvantaged.
Just the cut the shit already.
The reason why Moubu will have lots of trouble with KK is because he always fights very aggressively which will give KK openings but in the end I'm confident that Shukai KK is not beating any Top Tier general 1v1 whether it is Houken, Moubu, Man'U or maybe even Gaimou.
Kyou Kai has been a Top 3-5 fighter since her introduction and has remained there from the very beginning. You may not like it, but it is what it is.
That you would list fighters she would easily delete like Man'U and Gai Mou says it all. You're arguing based on what you think the material should be, not what it is.
Yes.
The portrayal of Kyou Kai as a supremely gifted prodigy even among her people that specialises in assassination and gets to work quickly.
And the portrayal of Mou Bu, a man who is a slow starter and has some legitimate concerns about his mental fortitude.
but she isn't the all powerful warrior in a 1v1 as most see her as.
My guy, she used to work as an assassin.
She's taken out extremely tough fighters 1v1 like Yuu Ren, and groups of lower level Shiyuu - all in the same fight.
You're arguing your feelings about the character, not the facts.
