They are. I know here we've got a bunch of Houken wankers, but that's your problem. Houken is loser plot device, even Riboku admitted it recently.
Houken ain't a loser. Lol
Houken is a martial beast and i doubt if there's a clash between him and MouBu or Kanmei than either of them could come out unscathed as you believe in there strength.
On everything about real strength of MouBu and Kanmei
MouBu or Kanmei aren't out of earth. Yup both are super strong but than again they came in same level Ouki, Renpa, SHK, Tou, Houken, Gaimou, Ranbihaku etc.
If it's about brute force than Rinbunkun was doing pretty good as well (against Rokuomi and other one) but Tou destroyed him. Lol
Outside of Ouki and Renpa I don't think there is any one in China who could resist long against them.
You are also overestimating the effect of teaming up. When Gyou'un came of out nowhere to 2v1 Akou with Bananji Akou was still able to:
First of all there are characters who were put on same level as Moubu like ShouHeikun or Ouki. Now Tou is someone who believed to be on same level as Ouki by Rinou or GHM. MouBu said he can't even guess the real strength of this man.
Now there's underestimation of Akou coz he was strong that's why came out without death but still GyouUn sent him in coma.
Moubu is the real martial benchmark of the manga, and Kanmei who could oneshot a Qin Six pushed him to extreme diff. Truth is he would've won w/o Moubu's plot armor.
Neither Kanmei oneshots any of Qin six nor he can do that.
How could that be possible even when MouBu is real benchmark of strength.
MouBu got compared with Ouki and SHK. Than Ouki vs Houken was already a extreme diff fight same as Moubu vs Kanmei so now either Ouki or Houken could push Kanmei to extreme diff as well.
MouBu in reality defeated Kanmei as well so there isn't any plot armour.
We can totally compare Rihaku who specialized on defense or CGR with Ousen. Why? Because their tactics at the end of the day are based on their man standing planted on the ground and resisting the enemy attack. And they will not resist Kanmei's advance.
The level of complexity in OuSen/Akou's defensive formation and CGR's Shifting sand formation or whole existence of Rihaku is unmatched. That's why OuHon said specifically for OuSen's formation that it can't be broke down with brute force only.
One more fact, with just formations, Rihaku was able to hold MouBu for whole day.
Doubtful. Karin literally did whatever he wanted during the Coalition. Sneaked 5k elites behind Tou w/o him even noticing, went to Kanmei's battlefield, played with Elephants ecc. ecc. Meanwhile Tou had to promote Ousen and Mouten as commanders to avoid kicking the bucket and was essentially reacting all the time. Though he could probably resist long enough to keep Karis focused on him though.
It's she. Yup Karin was clever and didn't went for Tou but to get his men past Kankouku pass.
But the difference between the number of soldiers was too big and Tou was short of commanders or generals thats why promoted OuHon and MouTen.
Difference was too big in coalition that's why made this battle scenario of equal armies.

The point anyway was Kanmei vs. Akou & co., which clearly are not Q6 level, so that doesn't even matter.
Rinbou was getting his ass kicked by Shoumou which was one-shotted by Ouki. But somehow Shiryou which is Ousen's Rinbou is gonna give trouble to Kanmei? ROTFL. Not a chance in hell. One shot material.
Akou and co. aren't going to duel with Kanmei but rather attack him on same time. Now if you're still believing that Kanmei can handle 5 vs 1 situation where Tou and Akou are available than i totally believes that you're overestimating Kanmei.
