Versus Battle Ouhon Vs Bananji: The Runback

[God Buggy]

This is what i don't get though. Bananji blocking full power thrusts of Ouhon despite never having seen a Top Tier spear wielder while not even suffering a scratch is exactly what made Bananji look so good.

- When Ouhon throws a barrage of continued full power thrusts = No damage
- When Bananji uses his unorthodox surprise attack = Dismounts and disarms Ouhon in one go.

It's quite clear to me who looked better tbh.

We don't know the other spearmen that Bananji fought and the level they were on, only that he had never met "such a ferocius spear user before". Even then, Bananji was like "Perhaps I'll get the hang of it". The whole situation didn't look very good for Bananji to me.

With his unorthodox method Bananji missed his hit and became outright disarmed against Ouhon who had his weapons with him on his back. Not good if you ask me lol.

Gyou'Un wasn't really all that anymore. He clearly got weaker.

I disagree. I'm going to quote a post from @Owl Ki about this, as I agree completely with him.

Not really. Gyou'un questioned whether his strength had halved, he did not make a statement that it had undoubtedly halved.

I think this scene is all part of Gyou'un's initial underestimation of the new generation of Qin Generals and of his habit of living in the past.

Based on everything we've seen, the answer is Ouhon.

But we should also remember that we never saw Bananji at his most ferocious. He has a demon mode, as stated by even Riboku. His emotions control is state of mind and presumably his strength. He said the Qin don't stir him up like the Xiognu did and Kaine said Bananji was on a totally different level in the past. Even still, we did get a glimpse of what he may be like, when he basically destroyed Ousen's defence. The databook also says he never entered demon mode.

So with all that being said, whilst i would give the edge to Ouhon - extreme diff - I would also be tempted to literally disregard every feat we saw of Bananji's prior to his decimation of Ousen's defensive lines.

His B for experience implies he may improve in martial strength too.

Exactly as said here. Even though Ouhon put an impressive show against Bananji and Gyou'un (together with Ten spears) right wing battle, the strength showed by berserker Bananji was totally different. It might be quite big statement but just for comparison it was like when Ouki saw body Kyou's body and his strength totally got on different level.

It would be good to see his full extent as Riboku and Kaine talk about demon version of Bananji and even in narration, Hara talks about the strength of whole different level than as known by Ousen previously.
