Top ten strongest?

1. Riboku
2. Renpa
3. Rinshoujou
4. Chousa
5. Houken (?)
6. Shibasou
7. Gyou’Un
8. Keisha
9. Kou Chou
10. The Heavenly Kings/Chou Garyuu/Bananji


Gyou’Un is stronger than Bananji in every metric, not sure why anyone would put Bananji above him. Lol
Amending list:

0. Gakuhaku Kou Sama
1. Riboku
2. Renpa
3/4 Chousha
3/4 Rinshoujou
5. Shibashou
6. Houken (?)
7. Keisha
8. Kochou
9. Gakujou/Choukatsu/Choukotsu
10. Gyou’Un

Really not sure where I’d put Shibashou frankly.
If Hara stays faithful to history, the Riboku/Shibashou duo was the duo that made unification impossible for Qin. If Hara holds onto that hype and makes these two unbeatable for Qin, I would bump Shibashou up to equal with the old 3GH. As of now I have him slightly below.

Rinko literally outperformed Choukatsu though and Kyou'En has far better portrayal.

See this is why it’s tough to rank these guys sometimes. It’s been established that commanders who can lead a hundred thousand men are very rare, at the time of Bayou Ryofui believed only Ouki and Moubu within Qin were capable of that.

And Choukatsu lead an enormous Zhao army of over 400,000 men (since these are the prisoners Hakuki took after Ouki defeated him).

Idk, Choukatsu got one shot by Ouki, but Ranbihaku was a warrior who could give Ouki trouble. So how do you even compare a commander who can lead 400,000 men but gets one shot by Ouki, to a berserk warrior who probably can’t lead large numbers but could give Ouki trouble?

Idk. It’s tough lol. Don’t really know how to compare them but I probably think putting Choukatsu > Ranbihaku on a commander tier list is correct.

Kochou>Shibashou is objectively incorrect lol
SBS is strong but there doesn't seem to have any strategy involved in his battles.
And he is not Moubu.
Kochou is underestimated but for a while he danced with Ousen, Yo Tan Wa and Kanki.
I would add that SBS is taking advantage of RBK's plan just like Houken did before.
I expected more than just brute strength from SBS.

SBS has Top 5 potential but hasn’t earned a Top 5 spot yet.

Ko Chou holding it down for a year is a criminally overlooked feat.
How can you rank a non3GH above a 3GH lmfao

The top 6 of this list should be the old and new Three Great Heavens, end of discussion, no questions asked. How is this even a question lol?

Hasn’t earned it yet.
I agree that Shibashou hasn't earned it yet based on solo feats as a general but I think it's undeniable he'll be above Kochou with all the hype he's gotten. I mean in his first battle hes seemingly defeated Ousen, the best mind in Qin and debatably the best commander in Qin.

I agree that Kochou's defensive feat is impressive
However as good as Kochou is, he wasn't a Zhao Heaven or ever said to have the ability to be one. To me putting a regular Zhao Great General is like putting Choutou ahead of Oukotsu

Remember that Gouhoumei only became a Fire Dragon sometime before Juuko and that was also after he surpassed Reiou in ability. Scaling by special gg titles is a thing imo.

Shibashou's extreme hype, powerful subordinates that heavily outclass Kochou's on average(ignoring Buddha), and title is enough to put him above Kochou despite not having a feat as good as Kochou's for the time being

How the hell can you agree with that lmfao. His first feat was repelling Ordo and his second feat was defeating Ousen. Kochou was defeated by Kanki the instant he took to the battlefield.
I specified solo feats lol. Shibashou is obviously very impressive but he's operating under Riboku's plan.

Repelling Ordo is not as good as Kochou's defensive feat though both are impressive

He repelled Ordo with a 4:1 disadvantage. Kochou was killed by Kanki with a 3:1 advantage.

Shibashou is also an official Three Great Heaven, the best generals in the history of Zhao. Kochou was never even remotely implied to be able to even sniff the 3GH level.

He will be, of that I have no doubt.

He has to get there first, is all I’m saying.

I’m not saying it’ll take long. Just that it hasn’t happened yet.

I agree that he's better lol and by a decent margin. I just think Kochou currently has a feat that SBS hasn't surpassed for the time.

I was hoping we'd get scenes of Shibashou advising Riboku on the plan and making revisions in addition to being a superb warrior

For the record I think Seika army vs Kochou would be a demolition in Seika's favor with maybe only one general casualty

It’s fine to say Kochou has superior feats to Shibashou as of now. But to unironically rank Kochou above Shibashou on this list is pure ignorance lol. Might as well rank Heki above Shibasaku because Shibasaku has no feats and Heki does. Lol
