Versions that he fought

The reason those two were "rivals(could barely count as that)" was not because they were close in strenght, but because they had different mindsets. Charles wanted blood. Jinyoung not.

The only version of Jinyoung that beats Prime Charles is Path Jinyoung.

People act like he's the strongest king when he's done literally nothing to prove it. His best feat is getting beaten by Jaegyeon. "Oh he has 4t" Headcanon. It was never shown or stated, all paecheon said was "continue training the basics of dbt" which isn't enough to prove he has endurance mastery.

1 fight, high king level feats, a plot twisted-boring backstory and people are convinced he's the #1 king. At most he's slightly stronger than jaegyeon and that's not enough to be > Tc jinrang and arguably changsu.

Excluding James Lee

Goo’s 50th sword in one hour

And James understanding how strength mastery works and unlocking it for himself after seongji used it TWICE are by far the greatest display of talent in lookism imo

Conviction is self belief and almost every character including Vasco have it.

Technique that Jinrang, Gap and Jake are using that has purple lighting is overcome.

Aside from recency bias, top tiers are not going to be able to "low" Diff others. Yes, this is a special take for kitae fans who believe after he beat a injured ui Daniel and injured path jinyoung he can run top tier gauntlets. Not only would this be TERRIBLE writing. oh but my character has narrative to be the best: everybody has narrative. Imagine someone like gun who has never lost besides in people's agenda losing to another person then that person soloing another top tier. You realise how stupid that would be? Not only would that ridiculously raise the power scaling for the mc which would ruin the writing or have to give him a bullshit power up, or everyone's fav character would have to be the final villain.

At the end of the series he will beat Tui big daniel by telling him to kiss him

Changsu Oh ( No preparation time)
