Wouldn’t Coalition/Chiyoyou Houmei not being a Fire Dragon outright confirm he wasn’t on that level yet? Him being promoted to Fire Dragon before Juukou implies that only then did he reach that level.
And keep in mind, Coalition Houmei was already Wei’s number 1 Great General, he just still wasn’t on that Fire Dragon level yet. I don’t see how this is controversial. lol
If Gohoumei is likely gonna be = or even > Gokei by the time of the Wei invasion, then a significant portion of the fandom has been terribly underrating him. Remember Gokei's portrayal.
And we say that Reiou made Tou retreat but yesterday I reread the start of that arc, and Gohoumei made Tou (plus all his vassals) retreat too. They literally had to escape, and did so by a hair's breath.
Chapters 307 and 308 are sheer unadulterated Karin hype. A thousand penances for my transgressions.
When her elite army completely repelled Taigo’s pincer (one of Ouki’s elite units) I got hardcore Shibashou vibes. And martial strength isn’t even the primary hype of Karin’s prowess.
They had to triple flank her and even that was just all according to Keikaku for her.
I just reread the War Elephants chapter, and man. Karin is so busted. Don’t know how I missed her strength on my first readthrough. Those War elephants reminded me of Genpou’s sound prison or Gokei’s war chariots, just a completely busted tactic that you really can’t fight.
And that tactic was just a distraction and not even Karin’s man attack.
The only two actual epithets that we've gotten in Kingdom with generals being associated with an animal in their title, are "Qin's Monster Bird" and "Tiger of Chu". I wonder if Hara is cooking something here lol.
And "Monster Bird" had a specific meaning. It referred to Ouki's crazy mobility & ferocity. He materialized anywhere and laid waste to his opponents.
So "Tiger" might also indicate something peculiar.
Karin is portrayed as a strategical/tactical freak, she is gonna beat (almost) anybody through those but imma be honest: I think that directly searching for a duel with her would be a horrible idea for the vast majority of the fighters we've seen so far.
The vibe she gives off in her design and demeanour makes me think that she can rock the living shit out of someone in a 1v1. Lol.
Batei's skills as a general actually deserve more credit. I had been rereading the Kokuyou arc and he tactically outmanouvered the Hi Shi unit and Karyo Ten like 2-3 times through it, lol.
Yeah he ain't gonna beat folks like Gyou’Un or Chouugaryuu but he is a solid commander.
I happened to watch ep 1093 of One Piece today (new ep) and it was phenomenally made. GOATbeard vs Law, and Aokiji attacking Whole Cake was SICK as fuck. For real.
I was rereading the Yotanwa vs SSJ match and man, praise to Heki. He is not as talented as others but his army through foundamentals was killing and pushing back the Quanrong and even broke through them to reach the HQ of one of their commanders.
At one particular point he was the one straight up performing the best against them, out of the entire Yotanwa army.
About Lee's theory on Shibashou joining Ousen: while it could potentially make a lot of sense...but man I'd be very concerned about the prospect of big Shiba facing EOS Shin or Ouhon. By that point they will have taken down multiple Great Generals and they will have utterly collapsed the other main states. They'll pretty much be considered the best ones with Ousen.
It would have been interesting to see if Mougou had faced Rinshoujo instead of Renpa at Sanyou. How the battle would have evolved, what kind of crazyness Hara would have pulled out for this guy.
Also, Rinshoujo's army had Gyou’Un + Chouugaryuu + EIGHT other Generals. That is nuts. I don't know precisely how they would compare overall with Renpa's combination of Four Heavenly Kings but yeah it seems insane. Lol.
When at the start of Bayou Ouki comes back to the battlefield and we get the other states' reaction, Chu's king calls him "that damned monster bird" and near the arc's end, Gika says that out of the six states there is not a single one which has not suffered at Ouki's hands and not a single person who does not loathe him.
