Kaishibou and Banana have like 0 claims to be the top dogs
they aren’t the leaders of their armies and thus have less weight and portrayal
Kashibou's weight:
- Renpa's right hand man, huge amount of Tou's weight comes from having been Ouki's RHM
- Leader of the Heavenly Kings, wills of Rinko + Genpo
- Normal weight of a general
- Personal ambition, akin to how Rinko had his own
- More than likely has led massive armies, when Renpa was blocking the Qin during the two years pre-Chouhei
- Lord knows since when he's started fighting alongside Renpa, since he became his right hand man and the leader even over the OG Genpo who taught Renpa.
Not sure since when being the leader of your army gave you better weight and portrayal than someone who isn't.
Kashibou's portrayal:
Destructive power on par with Renpa's.
Physically on par:
Martial prowess brought up with Renpa's directly by an individual who knows about the two.
Even in the most recent appearance, Kashibou is exhibiting same feats as Renpa, except Renpa gets a bigger panel while Kashibou a smaller one.
The argument would just be Renpa has declined in martial prowess, while Kashibou being a decade+ removed from Sanyou has kept growing stronger under Renpa's tutelage. Seeing as his martial prowess even when they were active in Kashibou's much younger days from which CGR knows him from... was on par with Renpa's.

Even though there's no point in discussing Bananji with me bro since nothing new since Shukai has been added, and I've already every portrayal for him, which some choose to ignore or just not consider importance. But for the weight.
Bananji's weight:
- He's shown to care about Zhao as much as Riboku.
- He's fought for the protection of the Zhao nation for decades in a region considered more brutal than the plains for decades.
- The weight from the people of Ganmon and the Xiongnu he's killed
- He does have his own army.
- He also cares about Riboku and takes pride in him, very much akin to Tou - Ouki.. so additional weight there.
The argument would simply rely on his raw prowess when going all out + weight.
