Neither Rokoumi or Ranbihaku is on the same level as Banana. Banana was compared to Renpa, and is his rage form was so powerful that freaking Ousen described it as "overwhelming". Kaine also hyped up Banana as being unstoppable and Kaine's seen quite a few powerful fighters. Neither RBH or ROM are on that level. Ranbihaku is not impressive to me at all, and ROM is a meme.
Perhaps now is a good time to discuss how you’ve all been disrespecting Ranbihaku lol.
Ranbihaku is so strong that he was said to have given both Ouki and Kyou trouble. Which is very similar to the hype Kyou En got as having “burned Renpa’s hands” several times, except unlike Kyou En Ranbihaku is almost purely a warrior general with very minimal tactical ability.
Ranbihaku also clashed equally with Tou. Completely equally. Yes it was just one clash but we also have nothing else to go on. Literally 100% of Ranbihaku’s interactions with Tou were equal clashes. He also fought equally with Juuko Yoku who clashed equally with Tou.
Where do you all get this idea that Ranbihaku is not a Heavenly King level general? Rei Ou stated that Ranbihaku would fold Tou’s army after he (Rei Ou) consolidated their forces. Ranbihaku is very much portrayed as a Heavenly King level general based 99.9% on his martial prowess lol.
I can't see Ouki getting one shotted by Young Kanmei like Oukotsu did, and Oukotsu should be the second strongest duelist of the Old Qin 6.
I think Oukotsu just goofed. One shots are possible in Kingdom when there aren’t necessarily huge power gaps. I think if you ran Ouki and Shoumou back with Shoumou knowing how great Ouki was, he might push Ouki to a solid mid diff or at least not get one shot lmfao.
But I think Ouki losing to young Kanmei is completely possible lol.
Wait you think Ranbihaku > Sento'Un? Bro, that's a wiiiild take but alright
Maybe this was just me miscommunicating, but I meant to say Sento’Un >= Ranbihaku in a high or extreme diff fight. Which is also how hard Duke Hyou would probably push Bananji imo.
