The main thing we need to see from subordinate generals to determine if they are Heavenly King level is direct comparisons to Qin6 or Zhao3 level commanders to some extent. For example:
-Kyou En was said to have “burned Renpa’s hands” by Renpa himself, and had battled against 4 of the original Qin 6.
-Kaishibou was said to have brute power on par with Renpa by Genpou.
-Rinko was hyped as breaking through Ouki’s defense and landing a blow on Ouki himself.
These are just some examples but in general, the Heavenly King caliber of General are the ones who are capable of giving Qin6 level commanders serious trouble.
Well, Tou hyped Ranbihaku like this:
Both Ouki and Kyou found him troublesome. It was never said that Ouki and Kyou defeated or overcame him outright, it was simply said that they found him troublesome.
So right there, Ranbihaku being hyped as someone who didn’t get immediately curbstomped by Qin 6 is similar portrayal to Renpa saying Kyou En had “burned his hands”.
The portrayal continued:
Ranbihaku clashed equally with Tou, and Tou retreated after this clash. Tou who is of course himself Qin 6 level, who Ouki praised as having equal talent to Ouki himself.
This portrayal continued at Juukou:
As Yoku clashed evenly with Tou only for Ranbihaku to intercept Yoku.
Now of course individual clashes don’t always tell us levels accurately, but these individual clashes seem to be consistent with the hype Ranbihaku received as being troublesome even to Qin 6 level commanders. Contrast Ranbihaku’s clash with Tou and statement of giving Ouki and Kyou trouble, with even a powerful general like Shoumou getting one shot by Ouki, and Ranbihaku certainly seems more impressive.
If stats are your game, then Ranbihaku has a 94 strength stat, putting him statistically on par with Great General Kyou as well as other Warrior Heavenly Kings like Gyou’Un and Bananji.
Ranbihaku also briefly fought equally with Sento’Un:
Now yes Sento’Un did stall both he and Rokuomi, but Sento’Un himself is also Heavenly King level or perhaps even higher.
Overall Ranbihaku certainly seems to be a Heavenly King caliber warrior general, having good portrayal against three Qin 6 level commanders and having seemingly never been defeated by any of them.
This is one of many reasons that I say the Fire Dragons should not be underestimated,as Ranbihaku is very strongly hyped and he has served two Fire Dragons lol.
