Not even Gapryong, not even Shingen... What Gapryong has shown doesn't come anywhere near the feats of this man.

Theory: it's not even a theory anymore, it's literally canon.

Everyone knows that SB Daniel copied Gitae's moves there; they are moves of pure brute strength, zero technique. Some people were saying one of them was gun because of the yamazakis style, but now everything clicks.

Remember that Gitae can sort of "copy" moves, just like he copied kwak, but it still remains "brute." Notice that there's a move that looks like Jichang's and one from OG Daniel in the yamazakis style. And guess who has already taken both of those hits and practically had the yamazaki UI confirmed in this last one? Exactly, the hybrid of the strongest bloodlines, Kim Gitae. He was born to be the strongest and has always been that true villain everyone needs to team up against just to stop him.

There was never a debate; Gitae has always been a pedestal above.

Goo never stood a single chance. Let’s discuss the three pillars of a debate: feats, statements, and narrative.

Narrative/Statements: Gitae absolutely obliterates. He is the legitimate son of gapryong, and likely the only hybrid of the yamazaki and gapryong bloodlines. He is the only one stated in the entire series to be on the level of prime gapryong and prime shingen. Daniel explicitly stated that Gitae is the strongest guy he has ever seen—and this is coming from someone who has already seen gun, goo, and James... Jake described his strength as 'unimaginable.' He is the literal incarnation of despair, the exact same despair that gapryong was fighting against since the very beginning of the series when he fought the despair the yamazakis were inflicting on everyone in Japan. Gitae is the man future Daniel warned was coming, the one everyone needs to team up against (and are currently teaming up against) just to stop. He is a Path user, which is clearly stated in the series to be a completely different 'realm' and on an entirely different level, as confirmed by ginyoung and dogyu. Gitae is the pillar holding up the villain role in the series right now currently, goo he's just an antagonist and nothing more, and he isn't even ptj's favorite in that regard (namely gun). Gun doesn't have the weight to defeat Gitae, whether you like it or not.

Feats: Gitae absolutely obliterates. I don't even need to say much—Daniel, even without his Path being refined from his fight against Gitae, already completely wrecks pacheon. In fact, pacheon stated that if he fought a Daniel with a refined Path 100 times, he would lose every single one. Gitae fought a Daniel with a refined Path, ginyoung using a gapryong copy, shingen, and even a conviction + UI Daniel copying the perfect body, plus a ginyoung using Path to extract the best attributes of the Gen 0 division.

I don't even know why I'm writing the obvious here—this isn't even up for debate anywhere, least of all in Korea.

Nobody beats this man in a 1v1 unless it's EOS Daniel

It’s not just about the eyes, which PTJ clearly hinted at. Only those two have that specific eye design in all of Lookism. It’s also because it was recently stated that she is single and the Yamazakis are fighting to win her over. It was always strange how Gitae is so different from his brother Jake in body structure and didn't inherit the conviction, but now it’s clear. Conviction mixed with the bloodthirsty Yamazaki blood brought something devastating—despair itself. And another thing, I always found it weird how Gitae keeps talking about limits, how he’s never found his limit, asking Jinyoung and Daniel if they’ve found theirs... This is a clear indicator from PTJ that not even Gitae realizes he has UI, and he will only show it when he finally hits that limit.

If Gitae already destroyed James in everything before—feats, statements, and narrative—just imagine after this chapter. It shows that Gapryong literally fights just like Gitae, and Elite just like James. On top of that, it’s practically confirmed he is linked to the Yamazaki bloodline, with the Yamazaki King being his mother. Gitae was born to be the strongest, and he is the exact person Future Daniel said would arrive—the true villain everyone would have to team up against to stop, just like everyone is coming together to stop Gitae right now

One is linked to Elite, the other to Gapryong. The exact same thing would happen in a fight between Gitae and James—even if Gitae was completely exhausted, he would still win.

Remember, we have information confirming that Gitae would never, under any circumstances, be inferior to James. Based on that, we work with two hypotheses: he's either equal or superior.

From what's currently been shown, he is clearly WAY above him via feats, statements, and narrative. This should have been obvious from the moment Daniel stated that Gitae was the strongest man he had ever seen in Busan

Besides being an absolute monster and clearly the strongest character right now, his personality is just badass. The guy refuses to win with backup or exploit 'weaknesses' to get a W. We saw this when he almost killed Changsu for taking out the uncle's thumb, and again when he could've exploited UI's weakness but chose not to. The guy is the definition of a badass villain

For me, what Gapryong has shown so far hasn't been impressive, and it doesn't even come close to the impression Gitae gave off. Of course, this could change, but right now, the impression I have is that Gitae is the strongest character in Lookism.

With each passing day, it only becomes more evident how impressive this man's strength and feats truly are. While Tom had to be nerfed, Jinyoung was buffed with a completely broken path—and this was after Gitae had already defeated a Daniel with an enhanced path, a base Jinyoung with copies of Gapryong and Shingen, and a UI with absolutely no stamina limits copying the perfect body, only to casually fight James while exhausted and finally unlock his path at the very end. James didn't come close to showing he's on par with Gitae, and Gapryong still has to show a lot more to reach that level

If that's all Gapryong has, he would be slaughtered, completely obliterated by Gitae Kim. Tom showed two new unique abilities; prime Tom with his dominant hand would make James Lee his bitch. It's not even clear if James Lee would actually win even if he used everything he's got.

Gun fã or James fã, is most patetic?

This man didn't fall while fighting three path users—two of them with perfect copies copying even Gapryong and Shingen at their peak, and a UI copying the perfect body—and he was fighting casually against James and only used his path at the very end. It's hard to see anyone beating this man in a 1v1 when he is 100% healthy.
