He isn’t? Lol
That statement came directly from Genpou, that was literally one of the most credible strength quotes probably in the history of manga. Genpou is not only a genius but is also intimately familiar with both Kaishibou and Renpa.
So what basis do you have for saying Renpa is stronger than Kaishibou? Should we also doubt that Genpou is as smart as Renpa? Or did you arbitrarily decide that Renpa can have a subordinate as smart as himself but not one as strong as himself?
He isn't. When I say that I talk about a Hypothetical scenario in which both fighters fight 1v1 till death. In such a scenario I can promise you that Kaishibou nor Gaimou and potentially even Gyou'Un be truly equal to a Great General of Renpa’s caliber like Ouki was.
The best way to explain this is with actual panels.
Lee, I think there is a key thing you're still underrating severely.
Just how much superior a great general of the heavens portrayal and weight is in comparison to high tier Generals that are infamous but not on that legend tier.
Ouki's weight made such a change to the duel that all the stats he was inferior in to Houken didn't matter AT ALL. He was mercilessly beating down on him and Houken was completely helpless.
I know the major difference between Houken and Gaimou, Kaishibou etc. They
Do have weight while he does not but their weight is and will never be on the same tier as that of a general on Ouki's league. One statement that compares the strength of one glaive swing doesn't mean it was just confirmed that these characters are completely equal in a 1v1.
Weight Is a concept that majority of the warriors in verse even are oblivious about. They can't understand where a GG of the heavens is drawing his strength from, but what they do understand and are able to describe is brute strength, speed, tactics, technique and that's what they base their comparisons on because that's what they can see.
I already know that you're going to accuse me of saying that Genpou, Sou'Ou, Shin etc not understanding what weight is but let me just make clear that that's not what I'm saying.
Shin was starting to understand the concept of weight here and he was comparing it to the only ever time he experienced that same feeling which was against Renpa, this in my opinion doesn't mean that Renpa = Gaimou. What else could Shin compare this moment to if not to the only ever other instance where has felt "weight" before ?
Long story short. Put a general of Kaishibou’s or Gaimou's caliber in a 1v1 with a GG of the heavens like Renpa or Ouki I can
Guarantee you that the fight will look like Ouki vs Houken. The people will not understand why the GG of the heavens is beating down on the inferior general in such dominant fashion even though all logic (that they are equal in all stats) is telling them it should be a close fight.
Oh really? Damn what manga are you reading where Renpa was said to be stronger than Gaimou? Lol
Portrayal. Look I don't hate Gaimou. I've recently read the Wei battles again and realised that I've been underrating them but you guys still overrate them imo.
Look at this. This is not how a general treats an equal. Ouki was quite literally laughing in that man's face, saying he isn't worth the effort and if one day he is then he is still confident that's he's killing his ass, lol. I mean just how clear do you want it to be Lee ?
There's nothing subtle about this.
You can't expect me to believe that Sou'Ou seriously believe that Ji Aga is a Moubu/Kanmei caliber fighter and also thinks his girlfriend can slay him at the same time
He probably thinks they have the same raw power which is impressive but not the same thing
MouGoat had more strength than Renpa and we saw what happened there
Exactly. I think some people still don't see the actual difference between the Weight that most of these strong generals possess and the Weight of a Great General of the heavens.
Shin is a general that at this point possesses at least equal if not superior weight like most of those high tier Generals but he is still not on that Ouki tier.
