No? Are you literally retarded?
His goal was to slay Tairoji and he wasn’t going to die until that happened. After he slayed Tairoji, he had nothing left to live for and became a soulless lifeless weapon with no self-preservation instinct. Which was literally the only reason Ouhon killed him lmfao.
Yes. Ouhon noted that Earl Shi's only weakness against him is the fact that he doesn't protect his vitals and that's why he beat him. This still doesn't change Rei'Ous statement that suicidal Earl Shi is a killing machine with no weakness to exploit.
Rei'Ou is a guy that could see a weakness in every single Qin general including fucking Ousen and he was by Earl Shi's side as a comrade so he definitely knows his strength very well.
This Earl Shi we've seen was at the absolute height of his game. His spear reached its pinnacle.
And yet after the loss to Ouhon several years passed with Ouhon training relentlessly for his spear to reach that of the Earl's only for Bananji to demonstrate how he completely blocks every single full power spear thrust that Ouhon sent towards him. This by extension means that Bananji can see, react and block Earl Shi's spear too. This is simply undeniable.
I'm not saying Bananji wins because of that but i would have this in mind before stating ridiculous stuff like us slandering Earl Shi by putting him below guys like Bananji. Hell feat wise Gaimou is hard pressed by Batei.
Also, losing to Ouhon is an honor, no idea why you idiots act like Ouhon was weak. Unless your favorite is a martial Great General, Ouhon solos them. And even martial Great Generals aren’t safe from Ouhon lol.
No Ouhon wasn't weak but you know what ?
Shukai Ouhon was considerably stronger even by in canon statements it was made clear that Ouhon grew considerably after beating Earl Shi. So whether you like it or not the Ouhon that Bananji dominated was more or less equal with Earl Shi.
No part of saying this is slander.
Because he was suicidal. He didn’t have Kika, and her killer was already dead. He had nothing left to live for and so he didn’t have the instinct to keep himself alive-literally the only reason Ouhon killed him.
It’s like you fucking idiots don’t actually read the manga. If Renpa was suicidal against Mougou, Mougou would’ve one shot Renpa with his very first attack:
Because Renpa wouldn’t have dodged which would’ve resulted in Mougou killing him instantly.
If Hakuki was suicidal, he would get trashed by Ouhon worse than Shi Ei did.
If Ouki was suicidal, Houken would’ve killed him in an instant.
Yall literally pick the most autistic hill to die on, fucking idiots.
This is just so wrong Lee lmao. Are you trolling?
This is the man you call suicidal, look at him.
He is blocking
and dodging, several times durkng their battles even. His suicidal tendencies have had no effect on his defensive skills, that man blocked and dodged to the best of his ability so what in the world is that Renpa panel supposed to prove ?
Even in that panel it's clearly shown how Renpa is outspeeding Mougou.
Being suicidal doesn't mean you lower your head to your enemy and let him kill you, we literally have in-canon examples one being Earl Shi who factually defends himself.
I have Prime Earl Shi beating Tou,Yotanwa,Duke Hyou and Shouheikun in a 1 on 1
Based on history spoilers I would definitely take out SHK but the rest is not a ridiculous take.
However sword users are not bad off against a spear wielder.
