How many top tier, duelling "monsters" are in China right now?

#1
So for the sake of argument, I'm going to define a monster as being Moubu, Man'U, Renpa, Gaimou. In the past you would include Kanmei, Ouki and co. Stat wise, you're looking at 97 and above if you are into them.

How many do you believe are in China right now given that we've not seen all that the country has to offer?

Might as well get two additions out of the way and predict Kouen and possibly Shibashou. But beyond that?

Just to clarify, this is about strength only right? If so, then I got Shouheikun, Tou, Yotanwa, Kyoukai, Kaishibou, Karin, Bananji, Ranbihaku as "monsters". Young gen fighters like Shin, Ouhon, Mouten and Kouyoku will be up there as well.

Some names that have already been mentioned aside, in chapter 526 Ouhon's spearmanship gets commented on with folks thinking his spear to be amongst the top 5 in the entire central plains. There probably is some really freak like spear user out there.
That quote has always interested me too. Unfortunately I think it's probably just a generalised statement without too much thought in it. I'd love it if there was a legendary spear user in China, though.

I wish Hara would spent more time, building the world away from Qin.

Also I wonder what central plains actually means. I've always assumed it was just Wei, Han, Western Qin and Zhao. Maybe it's all the states?

Zhao: Riboku, Bananji (strongest), Shibashou, Seika #1 dude
Qin: Moubu, Tou, yotanwa, SHK, and possibly.. Rankai.
Wei: Gaimou, and.... Yea
Chu: Kouen, Karin, Manu, Sentou

Han, yan, qi none so far that we know of. But will probably get a handful later.

I'd bet on Tou with his 96 + S-rank experience in a duel, than Moubu with his 100 & A-rank experience.

A superior dueling monster has more factors to involve just raw stats of their fighting prowess.

It refers to all states, not just the center states. The distinction is basically between Central Plains and areas like Ganmon aka the "mountain realm" up north.
 
#15
Qin: Moubu, Tou, Yotanwa
Zhao: Shibashou (prediction), tho not to look down on Bananji/SBS numero 1, popular belief is that SBS is a beast martially, so him over them.
Chu: Renpa, Man'u, Kouen (prediction), Sentoun after them
Wei: Gaimou

Yan/Han/Qi we don't know about them yet. Chu is gonna have a many more powerhouses, being a superstate, and with Karin/Rien finally making use of their entire resources

Roughly from the top of my head, my rankings would roughly go:
  1. Mou Bu
  2. Kyou Kai = Shin
  3. Tou = Yo Tan Wa
  4. Gai Mou = Man'U
  5. Ren Pa (age)
  6. Sen To'Un
  7. Ou Hon = Kou Yoku
  8. Kyou Rei
  9. Ba Nan Ji
  10. Ran Bi Haku

I'd have it as being;

1. Moubu
2. Man'U
3. Renpa
4. Gaimou
5. Shin
6. Tou
7. Yotanwa
8. Sentou'un
9. Ouhon
10. Bananji
11. Kouyoku/Ordo/ranbihaku

But by my definition of true monster, I only put the top 4 in this. I'm deliberately leaving out Kyoukai/Kyourei.

Y’all are sleeping on my man Yoko Yoko, this dude is definitely going to be a straight monster in a fight. General rule of thumb is that any General Hara ever draws directly interacting with a state court will probably be monstrous, and this motherfucker is huge. Lol

And Han needs some OP commanders so fuck it why not, this dude is going to be Han’s strongest and a legit top tier.

Seems to be the sub of the General, but yeah I agree. He's going to be a beast. Then again, Zenou is a monster and 'only' a 93. There's also Ordo's newest Sub, who towers over him more than Kanmei did.
