Questions & Mysteries Main Units of the Lo Po Bia Army

#1
So, back in chapter 526 (Season 3 Chapter 109), we got introduced to Lo Po Bia Kirin, someone labelled as a Top-Level Tamer within the Family (the title varies a little depending on what translations you read, others say it’s Top Trainer and others Great Tamer to put some examples). We didn’t get to see him much but SIU made sure to transmit the message that this dude is a really big shot within the Family:
His portrayal is undoubtedly above any Branch Leader, but his status within the Family is not unparalleled. According to Robi, including the Family Head, there are other people with the rank of “Top Level Tamer” who can control them. The words used differ with the translation, although all mean more or less the same.
  • A handful of Top Tamers/Great Tamers = Alpha Scans and Shiin.
  • A few Top Trainers = Line Translation and Papago App.
The context is clear: there are a select few people, presumably including Kirin, who are capable of controlling Robi and flashback Yas.

Now, the quantity (number) these words represent is fairly subjective and highly depends on the context, but from what I’ve checked a “few” tends to be used more often than not as “more than 2, but not many (3 or 4?)" although some pages also state that it can be “not many but more than one”, which means it can be something as low as 2.

“Handful” is also another subjective concept that depends on the context. Most of the definitions I’ve checked also revolve as “a small, undefined number or quantity”, but there’s one that says “a small quantity, usually approximately equal to 5”. We’ll take it with a grain of salt as well.

From all of this, I would say the number of Top-Level Tamers is at the very minimum 2 and at most around 5? Judging by the context, I would say this is probably what makes the most sense (considering some of the statements that will come later in this post, there can't really be many more than this).

At the same time, Perseus mentions how there are 2 people whose strength stands in a place unreachable to them. They’re the only ones capable of filling in for the Family Head in times of war. Let's call these people the "Regents".

Despite the fact that Perseus, Whitegarment and Pudidy are the 3 strongest Branch Leaders, the likes of Pudidy are considered to be only among the 10 best warriors of the Family according to Holand (I'd guess something similar applies to Whitegarment and Perseus). This is not all that surprising considering Yas should be more or less around their level and there are at least 2 more people (3 if we include the Family Head Traumerei) that stand on a whole another realm entirely.

Jinsung also mentions interesting things. He mentions how he thought Pudidy was supposed to be one of the strongest combatants when he was in the Lo Po Bia Army, but later on, he mentions that if the Main Units of the Lo Po Bia Army come, there's no way he and Baam stand a chance against them. Granted, he most likely doesn't know Traumerei is already here, but this suggests that as strong as Pudidy is, he's not good enough to register as one of the main assets/units of the Lo Po Bia Army.

Those "Main Units" were also mentioned a long time ago in Season 3 Chapter 85. In these fan translations (courtesy of Pajaka) we can see the exact same term:

- Lefav: Sigh- I guess I have to tell you then. // Other branch leaders and I came through that portal to get to this Nest unlike the army of Zahard. // I was inside a special floating ship when I took the portal, so I don't know the exact location of that portal.. // Everyone thinks that this Nest is completely cut off from the outside, // But truth be told, there is one portal that leads to the outside of the Nest. // And the place we came from.. which is the place the portal is connected to is // The mothership of Lo Po Bia. // This Nest has been connected to the mothership since the ancient times. I came here from the Lo Po Bia family's mothership. // And currently, most of Lo Po Bia's core members are gathered there. // Which means that the main units of Army of Lo Po Bia family can jump over here at any time.

- Hansung: The core units of Lo Po Bia family are ready to come at any time.. then.. that could mean...

- Evankhell: Yes. He'd have to be out of his mind to come out his way to face some scrubs like us.. but the centre of Lo Po Bia and the strongest unit - // 'Head of the Lo Po Bia family' can also come through the portal. // If that happens, we will be doomed.

Based on this, what do you think of the following:

1. Is Kirin one of the 2 "Regents" left on the Mothership?

2. Are "Top Level Tamers/Trainers" the Regents? Or do you think they'll have a different title when they're introduced?

3. How many Top Level Tamers do you think there are in the LPB Army (assuming you don't think just the Regents are Top Level Tamers)? Are they the Main Units Jinsung, Lefav and Hansung spoke about, besides the Family Head?

4. How do you think the Top 10 Warriors of the Family is structured? Is Traumerei included on that Top (this might seem like a stupid question on the surface but Yuri for example was deemed as the most talented person in the Ha Family despite Yurin being also a Ha)?

I think there is

-Traumerei

- 2 - 5 Top Level Tamers ( which can be branch leaders as well ? ) with at least one maybe 2 of them having more authority and strength capable of " filling " the gap for the FH when he's not present

- 8 - 5 Really strong branch leaders

So far FHs are portrayed way too much in their own league for others to look any relevant so it makes sense imho to have those 2/3 people inside the family who can at least compare to them somehow and hold the family's balance in check when the FHs are slacking


so yea i think that's the structure

FH - > a few chosen ones who are noticeably above the others / princesses - > branch leaders -> candidates -> etc

when they say X is the most talented in their family i don't think the FH is included for obvious reasons xD

What I would like:

#0. Traumerei: Evankhell considers him a warrior but the Family should consider him as a God. Yuri was said to be the most talented person in her family in spite of Yurin being clearly more talented. I expect Traumerei to not officially register in the Top 10, because he's more akin to their God rather than a Warrior.

#1 - #2. The Regents (Highest Top Level Tamers?): I don't expect Kirin to be one of them. In my headcanon, Paul's mother is probably one of them. Completely unreachable for Evankhell tier threats.

#3 - #5 (?). Other Top Level Tamers: Kirin would be one of those. I expect another one or maybe even a couple more, but not more than this. If I had to say, their strength would be equivalent to power-up Kallavan. They aren't totally unreachable for Evankhell tier threats, but they're still well beyond their level.

#6 - #10. Pudidy, Perseus, Whitegarment, Yasratcha and Robi: In no particular order. The Top 3 Branch Leaders have been suggested to be around the same general level and Pudidy is one of the 10 strongest warriors of the Family. Yasratcha should be on a comparable level too. Robi being there is just my expectation. I feel like he was portrayed to be comparable to Yas or Wangwang in the flashback. Just like Yas is Traumerei's cat, or Wang his dog, he should be the lion equivalent. He was put on the front lines along with both and Pudidy and he didn't display any signs that indicated he was clearly much weaker than them.

Leaving my expectations aside, I think that realistically speaking, the odds of Kirin being one of the 2 Regents are pretty darn high. There might not even be people much stronger than CCs in the Family bar the FH and these two that are guarding the Mothership now judging by Perseus' comments (if there were, why didn't he mention them, especially after highlighting the strength department needed to be an Escort?). It's possible all the Top 10 is more or less around the same level minus these 2 Regents (and Traumerei if he's included obviously). Anyways, the above is what I would like the most.

think there is

-Traumerei

- 2 - 5 Top Level Tamers ( which can be branch leaders as well ? ) with at least one maybe 2 of them having more authority and strength capable of " filling " the gap for the FH when he's not present

- 8 - 5 Really strong branch leaders
What about Yasratcha? He should be on a similar level to the Top 3 Branch Leaders, which would likely make him Top 10. I'm not going to say anything about Robi because the guy is completely featless and has received little hype so far haha.

a few chosen ones who are noticeably above the others / princesses
As far as we know, LPB Family doesn't have any High Ranker Princesses. Lilial and Shilial, the only two LPB Princesses we know of are just Regulars. Elaine was a candidate but she never became one and she's still a Regular.

Unless you're talking about their potential ofc.

when they say X is the most talented in their family i don't think the FH is included for obvious reasons xD
Yeah, I completely agree.

1. Is Kirin one of the 2 "Regents" left on the Mothership?

Yes but it's not a fact


2. Are "Top Level Tamers/Trainers" the Regents? Or do you think they'll have a different title when they're introduced?

yes. But some top level trainers are not regents but from the main family.

3. How many Top Level Tamers do you think there are in the LPB Army (assuming you don't think just the Regents are Top Level Tamers)? Are they the Main Units Jinsung, Lefav and Hansung spoke about, besides the Family Head?

2 regents + 2-3 others.

4. How do you think the Top 10 Warriors of the Family is structured?

Traumerei
2 regents
2-3 top anima
Yas + the strongest BH

I think Traumerei said about regulars but not rankers.
