Gyomei Is Too Strong To Low Diff SCA Hashira
I know the title is insane but I wanted a cool title.
What I'm really getting at is his poorly designed weapon.
Gyomei's weapon requires something that creates echoes but even with that he literally should just have chain whips with Nichirin daggers at the ends.
The flail is just too large ruining the potential of a whip.

I get Gotouge probably wanted him to stand out but you could even make both ends cleavers so they are more aerodynamic and aren't working against the momentum.
(See that figure of Black Star for an example)
The other problem with his weapon is he cannot defend AND attack at the same time. The moment he releases both ends of the chain his body is wide open. THIS is why Obanai had to shield him NOT cause Obanai is a Top 3 Hashira like glazers say.
Thing is though he does have a technique that can attack and defend at the same time Stone Skin. You know what he does for that he swings both the chains around himself in all directions something he literally could accomplish with just two chain whips.
The difference between his weapon and a katana wielding swords me is a swordsman's guard is constantly within their own personal space. Once Gyomei releases both ends he has to real in his chains before he can execute his next offensive or defensive move.
A swordsman will always be able to generate motion before Gyomei can create motion with his chain.
This drawback will always give a delay in timing that one can use to evade. It's not that Gyomei isn't fast enough but that his weapon ISN'T.
Obviously Gyomei skill diffs but I just want to point out that he can't just eviscerate his comrades with ease.
Bring Back Gyomei Is PHYSICALLY The Strongest 🙏🏾
