And he also is killing all those minor comanders by using his personal might. Just because Rinko is using his martial ability in a smart way doesn't change the fact that his combat prowess is his main weapon.
For the most part, killing minor commanders is a pretty irrelevant feat. It is very rare that we actually meet singular minor commanders who pose a martial threat to actual generals. Especially someone like Rinko who could already one shot standard generals like Eibei.
Yes, I know the quote refers to all of them. That doesn't mean it was their main job like you're trying to prove. This quote only shows that they all could fight while Rinshoujo couldn't. It doesn't say anything about their style.
Their style is not relevant, I’m not sure why their styles would determine anything different about their martial ability. If Riboku is telling you all of them shared the martial burden of the RSJ army, it shouldn’t matter what roles they shared because we know they shouldered the army’s martial burden.
"Exchanging blows" doesn't have to be literal, it could just mean he was facing them in battle. In fact we got a similar statement with how Kyouen "crossed swords with 6GG" when Kyouen is not even using a sword. Again, just a poetic way to say he was battling them.
If you ignore the context about the Ten Heroes shouldering Rinshoujou’s martial burden, sure.
This argument only works if you deliberately ignore the context of how each army works to begin with.
Lmao, he canonically killed at least two generals and was sent against Ouki.
He wasn’t
sent to kill those generals specifically. Btw, who was the second general he killed? I only remember Eibei.
Rinko has only ever been specifically sent to kill 1,000 man commanders. Contrast this with Gyou’Un who Rinshoujou regularly used as a Great General slayer:
And Renpa hyping up Rinko as an unstoppable offensive force is even more of an arguement for this.
Renpa specifically made this quote when Rinko was heading out for his night-time assassinations lol. So no. Again, context.
And Chougaryuu himself said how he was facing them - by using tactical manouvers. We are literally talking about a guy who on Shukai Plains only decided to duel when he had no other option left.
No, Chougaryuu said he had found this to be their weakness. There is no quote from Chougaryuu stating he never fought the Qin 6 and instead preferred to pincer them. Again, he was just identifying a weakness of commanders who lead from the front.
The version of Shin that faced Chougaryuu was Shin who had to overpower Chougaryuu's kill-zone and face his two top warriors. And it was pointed out on more then one ocasion to be badly wounded including a hole in his chest. You can also argue that he still didn't got used to Ouki's glaive to the fullest.
If we go on nitpicking every opponent Shin beat while wounded, there will be none of them left (aside from Gakuhaku Kou Sama). Hell Rinko himself died to a severely wounded Shin.
This is a stronger version of the Shin who fought Gaimou, who would one shot Rinko on the worst day of his career.
Sure
