TENGEN IS LITERALLY THE STRONGEST HASHIRA AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE.

People will say “Sanemi beats Tengen” or “Gyomei stronger” like bro DID WE WATCH THE SAME ANIME???? Tengen fought Gyutaro, and Gyutaro is basically UP1 level if we are being REALISTIC and Tengen was doing all that while poisoned, missing a hand, protecting everybody AND HE STILL WAS NOT EVEN TRYING THAT HARD AND WASN'T SERIOUS. This was a NO DIFF fight btw. NO DIFF. Tengen just had to stand there and Gyutaro was already finished mentally.

And dont even get me started on Tengens BOMBS. Those bombs are literally nuclear weapons disguised as little goofy balls bro throws ONE and the entire battlefield gets deleted from existence. Gyutaro got hit by them and started getting turned into demon barbecue. The fact that Tengen can just casually carry a whole inventory of these things means his AP is probably like 7 dimensions higher than everyone.

Also ANIMATION SCALING. This is important because Tengen vs Gyutaro fight is literally the most BEAUTIFUL fight in the entire anime, which means Tengen automatically scales above everybody because more animation = more power. Gyofraudmei, Mitsuri the damsel in distress, Shinofeatlessbu, gifriendlessyu, and renbumgoku could never get animated THAT HARD. The explosions, the sound effects, the spinning, the COLORS??? Tengen was fighting like the animators personally gave him 400 million dollars. This means his speed is obviously beyond lightning times infinity and Gyutaro was basically fighting a natural disaster with muscles.

Tengen is not the weakest Hashira. Tengen IS THE HASHIRA. Everyone else is just supporting cast for his flamboyant entrance.

STOP THE TENGEN DOWNPLAY IMMEDIATELY.
