Rather than wasting cards on Gukja, why didn’t the author combine the useless cards into higher grade cards during the earlier arcs. The 7 growth cards were not needed.
Gukja’s stats were SSS+ Sr Sr+. His fight would have resolved if he ascended.
Sika has a supernatural or maybe almost supernatural ability to order people.
Indoctrination card can brainwash up to 10. Using brainwashing can’t he brainwash Hong, the police commissioner, Seoul’s top brass, and others of note. If you can’t get someone like Hong can’t you brainwash his son or replace him with a cloud. Sooner or later Hong’s empire would fall to him.
If he doesn’t limit himself to Seoul. Cant he brainwash Busan’s leaders like the chairman of L group. The platinum card can’t brainwash people smarter than you but duplicates can copy the smartest known Koreans then you can switch intelligence with them to brainwash almost anyone.
For strength, can’t he lay low. Johan will one day almost kill himself from facing very strong opponents. Spy him 24/7 with his clouds. Then when his down, drag him to be absorbed. No one knows he Jo Yoon has supernatural abilities that are OCP in Lookism. No one would be wary of a high schooler who slightly strong. Johan will almost kill himself from fighting strong opponents, Jo could immediately absorb him and replace him.
If he brainwashes him. With Johan’s strength being able to become stronger through cards no one could stop JoYoon. In fact if he meets supernatural ability users he can copy them and gain their ability because the silver girl he assaulted has a power that stops ability to grow

Step one. Use card buffet to buy the brainwash, otherworld training, and 2hr cooldown card.
Step two. Brainwash the northern leaders of Seoul.
Step 3. Order them to conquer the south, east, and west.
Step 4. Activate miracle. Activate the purchased master card. Utilize cooldown cards. This creates an undying horde.
Step 5. profit
Keeping in mind Ryu’s 100 troops, Uijin s 300, Eun’s 100 + South/west/north/east. The other districts shouldn’t be far behind.
Another dimension means he can’t be touched or stopped from creating an undying horde.
Otherworldly training center has 6x time difference. To the real world.
Cooldown takes 2 hours to complete but OWT accelerates to 20 minutes in real world. Every 20 minute every northern 2nd generation fighters becomes stronger and regains stamina/their health.
The entirety of Seoul probably get curb stomped in a few hours.
Not even Daniel can keep fighting thousands after all. Hostel. Big Deal. All gets eaten by Gangbuk.
Gg Seoul
SSS: Johan Seong and Daniel
SS+: gun and goo | James & Seongji
Reason: less talent than Johan. More than Gen 0 (Shingen/Mujin/Gapryong according to Shintaro, Mujin, and Tom Lee).
James after twerking for 3 years rivals a cartel leader who fought life death battles back in Tijuana
SS ~ SS+ : Jake and Kitae | Shingen & Gapryong | Vin Jin
Reason: son of the strongest Gen 0 characters
SS~ S: Jerry | Taehoon Seong | Ryuhei | Gukja | Hikaru | Alexanders
Reason: son of top tiers and bloodline characters. Alexander’s are stated to be the strongest family. Sophia is part of the Alexander and Russia’s pinnacle
A+: Busan copycat | Jinho’s Boxer | Haru Seong
Reason: Jinho’s boxer can copy any boxing techniques which Zack can’t. Haru has copy which Zack’s jealous of and more potential than the national youth Muay Thai boxing champ that can represent South Korea.
A: Zack Lee | Vasco | Kenta
Reason: Zack is called a genius by his boxer teacher. Kenta defeated a Zack who was perfect and had heat mode. Vasco’s strength is abnormal and Jace who followed his training regiment is weak. It’s cope but I think Zack can be S if his talent is highlighted
B+: Scott
Reason: Olympic candidate
B: Jin Jang
Reason: stated by Gun to be talented and stayed standing against the fist generation unlike BW who all lost
Characters less than SS.
Taejin - lost against Vin Jin after he went to 1A (read cheonliang) the first time.
Samuel - without hormone hax he would just be a Jake victim (read 1A). Canonically lost to Jake/Johan/Olly in the crew head fight without heat mode. Literally carried by hax.
Warren - Is rivals with a Jerry that didn’t watch his father’s video yet is barely stronger than him. Jerry has not broken into mastery too.
Sinu - Ryuhei has no statement that he has been training unlike Kenta yet speed blitzed mastery Sinu without a known mastery so he is far less talented than blood merchants lol Ryuhei
Gong and kings - stated Kitae by virtue of being Gapryong’s blood is equal to James Lee. Weaker than Jinrang.
SSS ——Johan & Daniel
SS+ ——James & Seongji | Gun and Goo
SS ——Shingen | Gapryong | Jake | Kitae.
(Bloodline Merchant S) — Ryuhei | Gukja
A+ (Rare Genius) — Busan copycat | Jinho’s boxer
A (Genius) — Zack
B (Talent) — Jin Jang
C (average) —Jace
Ultimate talents (Johan) ——-> Bloodline (Gun, Jerry, Taehoon, Vin ) ——-> Geniuses (Zack)
Reason: Johan was more talented than Goo & Gun. It’s stated Tom never saw anyone talented more than Gun or Goo. Shintaro stated that Gun has more talent compared to Shingen so Shingen has less talent than the duo or Johan. If we take into consideration Tom knows Gapryong but still stated Gun/Goo has more talent than it would go like
SSS Potential Daniel or Johan
SS+ Potential Gun or Goo | Seongji or James (keep in mind his equal to Kitae who lived in Tijuana when he spent 3 years twerking to Korea)
SS Potential Gapryong or Shingen’s | Kitae
It’s a mid tier card but can brainwash up to 10 people.
Using brainwashing can’t you brainwash chaebols or their heirs. Or have the duplicate card spy on them, and replace them using copy and erase evidence with slime. If the other chaebols are comparable to Hong this would be a ton of power.
The platinum card can’t brainwash people smarter than you but duplicates can copy the smartest then switch their intelligence with them to brainwash almost anyone. Even the smartest can be brainwashed if you copy them, switch stat, then load Gukja’s card.
