It's still a better feat then Chougaryuu never killing a single commander onscreen.
What? Lmfao
This is like saying Naki is stronger than Karin since Karin has never killed anyone on the battlefield and Naki killed Ungen(?). Or like saying Bakukoshin is stronger than ManU because Bakukoshin killed a general and ManU has never been observed killing a general.
Lack of feats =/= “this character is stronger.” Lack of feats =/= “this character has better feats”. You can’t say someone has better feats than someone who is featless.
Which again Garyuu has far better feats than Rinko could ever dream of but we’ll get into that later:
Prieviously you said that this quote proved 10 heroes are all generals focused on martial might aka it's about their style. And I'm telling you that all this proves is that all of them could fight while Rinshoujo could not. This quote does not prove 10 heroes were more of warrior generals then Rinko was.
It proves that they fulfilled a role which Rinko did not fill for Renpa, and therefore highly suggests they were stronger than Rinko in that regard.
Zenou was Kanki’s offensive power. Which highly implies Zenou is stronger martially than someone like Genpou who does not fill that same role. Even though there is no explicit proof of that. Lol
Appealing to lack of definitive proof just shows how little of an argument you actually have. “Chougaryuu has never explicitly been confirmed to be stronger than Rinko!” Well if that’s your metric, you can’t prove anyone is stronger than anyone else since those types of statements are quite rare in discussions like these lmfao.
The words “Houken is stronger than Bihei” have never actually been said by anyone in Kingdom. But do we really need them to be said? Lol
General Ra Gen. He got killed during one of Rinko's rides. I'm assuming it's because Ra Gen was a target (Rinko ignored people who are not on his kill list like Shin).
Oh yeah. Lol
This feat is functionally no different from Rinko negging Eibei. Mougou’s generals are literally just standard generals, Rinko being able to defeat them should have never been in question.
Chougaryuu is far from a standard general. He was confirmed at Heavenly King level before we learned anything else about him. In fact he was explicitly compared to Rinko lol.
“Chougaryuu isn’t a fighter, he’s just a shield” even though he was compared directly to Renpa’s most martial commanders. Lol
Thats nice and all, but Gyou'un was the main attack force of Rinshoujo, he was Rinshoujo's Sword and the symbol of his army's martial might. It's obvious he would have some serious kills under his belt. Chougaryuu was not that, so using Gyou'un as an example brings nothing to the disscussion.
And Chougaryuu was Rinshoujou’s shield. This is the guy who protected Rinshoujou when other commanders tried to take his head. And given that Rinshoujou battled the Qin 6 regularly, it is not at all a stretch that Garyuu would have traded blows with them.
Even if thats the case, Rinko was also said to handle the most dangerous and important tasks out of all Heavenly Kings. There's no way this means his job is just killing off minor commanders.
As a general, this could mean a lot of things.
As a fighter, his best martial hype is him landing a single blow on Ouki. So you’d better hope that means Garyuu wasn’t fighting the Qin 6 himself personally as Gyou’Un’s words imply lol.
He literally describes the pincers as "his methods" and when HSU is able to overcome this his first instinct is to run away. It's very clear that he is not the type of commander who actively seeks duels and fights warrior generals himself only when he is force to.
This is Garyuu as a general:
A valorous general leading from the front of his army, weapon in hand.
Personally fighting on the front line killing soldiers himself.
I challenge anyone who thinks Garyuu is just a tactician to reread these panels. Garyuu is literally more likely to personally fight on the front lines than guys like Gokei or Kochou who themselves were quite strong.
Shin that fought CGR not only was wounded, but he also had a hard time accustoming to a new heavy weapon. Going by that logic you can argue that Keisha or Batei are overpowered fighters, because they fought Shin after his encounter with Gaimou and actually did some damage.
…Batei and Keisha are great fighters. Not sure what point you’re trying to make there but both of them have serious martial skill to one degree or another.
Okay so this is what exploiting a lack of speed looks like:
Here Futei was trying to exploit Shin’s lack of speed with his heavy weapon.
This is not:
Garyuu was very much engaging Shin the same way Gyou’Un and Houken did, which had nothing to do with exploiting his lack of speed.
It’s funny how you guys are suddenly fixated on Shin’s wounds and lack of speed when Chougaryuu is concerned, but you ignore these things when Shin fought Gyou’Un and Houken. Lol
And I remind you, this is what Garyuu did to the same Shin that fought Houken and Gyou’Un:
I don’t know what to tell you if you think this guy is just a tactician. If you think Shin’s lack of speed suddenly disqualifies Garyuu as a warrior but doesn’t matter against Houken and Gyou’Un. Shin was more wounded when he fought Houken ffs but Houken isn’t seeing this stupid ass downplay.
