Stop putting Seongji on CT James level.

We 100% have a missing panel here. James either took damage after Tom’s 4T attack or he simply wasn’t able to fully handle the pressure from the strike. The attack was still extremely close to him, because James isn’t just casually lying in that panel, he’s kinda stuck in the impact.

I added the Red Tom panels too. Y can clearly see Tom’s fist smashes James into the wall near the ground first, then he picks him up and slams his head somewhere higher on the wall. The crater James is stuck in during the later panel is completely different from the first one.

And for all the kids claiming James didn’t lose blood against Red Tom these are just effects , y can literally see the blood on the wall is James’. I added the Red Tom panels for comparison along with the last image too.

James Took some damage he isnt just resting

Copy was always about copying:
techniques,
movements,
timing,
fighting styles,

Years have passed yet y guys dont know anything about thresholds.
its your limit that how much you can push with your body.

if Stats of a Copy user are.

Strength:100
Durability:100
technique:100
speed:100

then it can never yield the same result of a person who has has stats

strength:300
Durability:300
Technique:300
speed:300

stat copying was never a thing for copy users at all

the only scenario where a copy user can have stronger output or equal output as compared to orignal is when they have the same stats and perfect technique and for that perfect technique PB exists yet stats cannot be copied obv PB has insane stats as well as OG but real stats of top tiers are not known

UI is a completely diff case

Due to the paradox of perfection, he was able to stat-match his opponents, but now he can’t anymore. So even in UI, he only has his actual stats, as shown in Chapter 607, and he won’t be scared of anyone in a fight.
We could even see SB gain masteries if he fights someone relevant.

1st Gen:
James
Kitae

Both are Peaks of the Gen Completed Path Users Already Surpassed or Equal to Gap and Shingen.

Gen 1.5

Gun and Goo only 2 members both become peaks Surpass Both in the end if not right now.

Gen 2

Jake-Gap Level (Daddy Genes)
Daniel's-Gap/Shingen Level
Eli-Tom Level might get a path too
Samuel-Pacheon Level
Johan-Jinyoung Level.
Jerry-Baekho Level (Dad Genes)

Extra's?

1)Elite
2)Shintaro
3) 2 Dudes we saw with Pacheon

7) remaining 6 stars
8) Military Dads if we want to count
9) Gentleman Driver Lightning Choi Wondo the list never ends.

I mean jinyoung copying everyone was cool too but not a solo pannel

Why is Tom Fighting Gap.

Dont tell me Elite tricked Tom to fight Gap.

I hope its way before gap died as a random spar.

FK Elite

From Manager Kim, I tried my best to track every time Tom Lee was referred to as a “fighting prodigy,” and the only genuine instance I could find was in Season 2 during his conversation with MK, when MK wanted to improve his fighting style.

Just look at what Tom did there. He enhanced an already specialized fighting style without even using it hands-on himself. Simply by experiencing it in fight and observing SMK use it, he evolved the style far beyond its already refined state with ease. That level of adaptability is absurd.

Then there’s the fight against the prediction guy during the Sir Cho arc. In that battle, Tom outright states that he can also predict his moves just after seeing him do that.

Both Hansu and Jincheol fought that guy, yet neither of them figured out what was happening. Tom, meanwhile, understood the mechanism within seconds just by watching it.

If PTJ is actually keeping track of everything established across his different works, then this fight still has a lot left to show us.

I’m too lazy to add the SMK and Tom conversation right now.

Just counting against Pre Gens.

We saw:

• Incomplete Path vs No Path: Daniel vs Pacheon.
• Complete Path vs Incomplete Path: Kitae vs Jinyoung [No path too infact here].

Counting other than Pre Gens:

• Complete Path vs No Path: James vs Na
• Incomplete Path vs Incomplete Path: Johan vs Gun.

So the only fight we have left is Path vs Path and thats why we are witnessing James vs Tom before the Pre Gen ends finally. Why not make 2 complete Path users fight?

If we remove that then there is no point in making these 2 fight, we already know James has a Path then why make him fight Tom again for no reason if he doesnt have a Path.

Tom is the one who introduced us to Path.

Its just a prediction so be chill

In every post I’m seeing, “Why didn’t James use his Path like he did against Na? Is he a bum? Is he an idiot?”

No, he is not. Give credit where it’s due. Tom messed up his senses, so he can’t use his Path properly until everything returns to normal. We already saw James’ vision from his own perspective against Tom his vision was dizzy and distorted, he is fighting on instincts.

Tom is the fighting prodigy, there’s no way he can’t see or feel that James has a Path when he is literally the first person who introduced us to the concept of Path.

Tom vs James will go down as one of the best fights till date.

Until and Unless you are still struck in 1A which is 90% retconned because of new upgrades like unique skills and path which was not a thing during 1A and 100s of chapters have passed.

Either His Path or Equivalent boost like a version of AI similar to TUI

Did PTJ ever say anything about Heather graping/manipulating Eli or using him?

It’s a big question that has divided the fandom in two groups and people talk about this a lot.

Did anyone ever ask him, and did he answer it?
