Somewhere in between brute and all arounder. He ain’t dumb like Gaimou but he ain’t as smart as Ouki and Renpa. Definitely primarily a martial general.
Probably similar to Moubu and Kanmei in brains, but idk he seems a bit better than them strategically so far…so maybe the edge goes to him there.
I’d put him closer to Moubu and Kanmei than Ouki but probably still above them.
Idk it’s really interesting though, Shibashou has exercised remarkable restraint compared to these two. As much as I think Moubu and Kanmei have underrated brains, they’re definitely straightforward “I’m about to smash” type generals, whereas Shibashou has already baited all of Ousen’s subordinate generals while also showing the restraint to move directly for Ousen instead of just smashing through them.
Very interesting how Hara has hyped Shibashou’s strategic ability first lol. He’s honestly probably like an Earl Shi level mind, that’s probably the best place to put him. On the martial general brain scale, I’d say:
Ouki/Renpa/Tou
Shibashou/Shi Ei
Moubu/Kanmei
Gaimou
Houken
Pretty solid brain for lord Sheeb actually.
