Sophomore Bouya vs Kuzugami

So I was thinking about this, if Kuzugami had rolled into town during sophomore year would Bouya have been able to beat him. I’m talking Tatsuo as he appeared in the story, not freshman version.

Personally I think it depends, Bouya during the beginning of the year likely loses. But by his 2nd Rindaman fight both seemed to have gotten notably stronger. I think by then they’d both be able to take Kuzugami.

What do you guys think?
