Hello all, let us discuss Han’s Yoko Yoko, a name so nice Hara named him twice.
I have been long excited to see this absolute lad on the battlefield, ever since he appeared towering over the denizens of the Han court, and we are now seeing my man(?) in action. Today let us discuss Yoko Yoko and speculate as to how powerful he is.
The first thing to note about Yoko Yoko is that, as you might expect from the most intelligent state, even Han’s strongest warrior seems to be quite intelligent:
-Yoko Yoko comments on the movement speed of the Han army being superior to that of the Qin army
-Yoko Yoko also recognizes that the Qin army is weaker than their numbers since they are untrained
Yoko Yoko doesn’t just comment on the strength of the Qin army in some nebulous sense, he actually quantifies their level:
-As he states that the effective strength of the Qin army is below 100,000 men despite their 160,000 man body count.
Now Prime Minister Chou doesn’t agree that the Han army’s victory is as assured as Yoko Yoko thinks, but it is interesting that Yoko Yoko is displaying such a level of insight in spite of the fact that this guy is Han muscle. It just goes to show that Yoko Yoko isn’t some mindless brute warrior as we may have initially thought.
But of course, Yoko Yoko is here for one reason:
Which is to tear shit up on the battlefield itself.
Now interestingly, him wearing a dome-shaped headpiece like Karyo Ten does may imply that he may have some kind of strategic matchup against Karyo Ten, which would be hilarious, but Yoko Yoko is definitely here as Han’s martial might.
Now this is just a fast-translation, but I do believe Rakuakan is calling Yoko Yoko the strongest of Han here. Which shouldn’t be particularly surprising:
Now we’ve only got one chapter of Yoko Yoko in action, so let’s talk about it:
He beats Garo instantly, which is not surprising, but the way he beats Garou reminds me of how Gaimou beat Sosui, or how Gyou’Un beat Kanjou. Which of course the reason I made this comparison is because:
Shin compares the “power” of his blow to Gaimou’s.
Now of course, fast TL but I think it’s very interesting that Hara would choose to have Shin make this comment if Weight was not a factor at all. Shin did not compare Gakuhaku Kou or Jyoukaryuu or Gakushou or Batei or Garyuu or Houken to Gaimou, only Gyou’Un and now Yoko Yoko. So imo it would seem that weight should be included here given all these other top warriors who did not receive the same comparison.
I also think this is a way for Hara to show Shin’s growth over time.
Gaimou:
Gyou’Un:
Yoko Yoko:
These comparisons only truly work if Shin is taking 3 comparable blows. It seems that over time, Shin is being sent less far/high/handling these types of blows better than he was before. So if this is what Hara intends, then yes Yoko Yoko would need to have weight comparable to Gyou’Un and Gaimou.
And Yoko Yoko, like Gyou’Un and Gaimou, is likely not yet going all out:
Now something I really appreciate about post-Houken Kingdom is that all of these mighty warriors are now just refusing to fight Shin 1v1 lol. Which makes sense right? Houken was a household name in China, a warrior 3 Great Heaven feared for his martial prowess, and Shin not only beat him 1v1, but also defeated other powerful warriors like Gakuhaku Kou and Chou Garyuu.
So I really appreciated seeing the likes of Jyoukaryuu not being a complete idiot and fighting Shin 1v1 lmfao. I mean why would you fight Houken 1v1 let alone the guy who killed him at this point in the series?
Well, Yoko Yoko is doing the same thing that Jyoukaryuu and Gakuhaku Kou did:
Which is that he is trying to overwhelm Shin with numbers. Hakuokoku himself is targeting Shin, and Yoko Yoko absolutely does not intend to fight him 1v1. This is Hara’s way of keeping Shin’s fights still intense despite the fact that Shin arguably killed the best warrior in the entire manga 5 years ago lmfao.
And I really, really appreciate this lmfao…like you literally don’t see all these guys trying to fight Shin 1v1 anymore.
Now I saw some on TKC arguing that Rakuakan was dumb for sending Yoko Yoko after Shin because Shin killed Houken.
But I think this is really the best way to do it…Yoko Yoko is not targeting Shin 1v1, they are trying to take him out in an all-out mele with Yoko Yoko as the center, while Hakuokoku himself is also going to bear down on this location to take Shin’s head. Anyway, side tangent about Rakuakan.
Alright so what do we think of YOIKO YOIKO? Share your thoughts
