Makou didn't have his glaive on him, if he did it might've been a different story

But he had his sword with which he should move faster and RBK still casually ended him

Well that speed is attributed to the Zhao horses, Riboku totally surprised Makou at a time where he didn't have any weapon at hand
What combat speed we saw is Riboku finishing off Makou after drawing his sword, but at that point Riboku had already stabbed him in the neck which doesn't say much really

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

Didn't he outspeed and behead Makou easily?

Makou didn’t have a weapon in his hand, he was defenseless.

I guess this makes sense because Riboku hasn’t fought or seriously trained for years. We interpreted Hara’s hype of him incorrectly, Hara was just trying to hyle Riboku as someone who had frontline experience fighting as a warrior, not that Riboku was going to be some legend with the sword or some shit lol.

Which makes sense I guess.

You can't deny though that it felt like Riboku > Rinko when he dueled Shin knowing he killed the guy, and was pretty confident he wasn't gonna die against him.

Yeah this. I felt like Riboku was very confident against Shin who just beat Rinko (one of the powerhouses under a GG). He should be more capable than what’s shown imo.

I forget how much time has passed in Kingdom. Was that duel like a decade ago in-verse?

Still think this is the case though, I think Riboku's performance was a bit underwhelming here because he was also overwhelmed and had multiple things to worry about, he still took down Shuma who I would consider as a 'heavy hitter' in the Kanki army.

my Riboku high tier dueling monster headcanon is dead

After all the hype for Riboku's martial prowess and now his current condition, its time to stop imagining Ousen's martial prowess as well unless we see him in actual combat.

Ousen should be a beast.

He's part of the same family as Ouki, Ouhon and Oukotsu after all lol.

Yeah current arc is nine years after Sanyou arc I think.

Yeah, could be that Riboku has just gotten rusty since then through lack of practice.

Ribroku decided to train at the library instead of the gym.

I get what you mean, but the Wei Fire Dragons didn't exactly seem bothered by their 14 years of captivity lol.

That only kept them out of combat. It didn't stop them from practicing. If anything, practicing would have been one of the few ways to pass the time in their confinement.

What I am thinking with Riboku is that he has not even been seriously practicing for a long time. Though he is still a capable duelist, he has eschewed combat and completely dedicated himself to solving all problems with strategy.

@Owl Ki
As you know the Fire Dragons became more experienced then Gokei in prison so a bunch of barbaric madlads inmates might be down there

That is pretty fair actually. Not to mention, he is the Prime Minister of the state, so his hands are full with a lot more than shown to us directly.

Let’s not make the same mistake again. Lol

This was a decade ago to be fair. And Rinko was highly skilled but not actually strong in terms of brute strength.
