If Gitae shows up at the church and beats Tom, I think every James fan will either drop the series or become a Gitae fan

We all know that Gun/Goo fans are the same when it comes to going against another character. I'm not a Goo hater, but saying that Goo beats Gitae is just ridiculous, considering there is nothing that places Goo above Gitae.

First point: Statements. Gitae is far superior in this requirement so far. Gitae has been stated by Daniel twice as the strongest being he has ever faced and that he’s never seen someone like him; he was described by Gimyung as having immeasurable strength; it was said by Gong that it’s impossible for Gitae to be inferior to James, and he doesn’t even care about that 2nd Generation or 1st Generation stuff as he said in Busan; no one can control him. And recently, he was placed by Ginyung himself as a monster on the level of Shingen and prime Gapryong. Goo doesn't come anywhere near these statements, so that settles this subject. James also said that Goo is weak. If Gitae couldn't be the King of the Underworld—since that position requires being the strongest of all—he would find a way to get Gun out of prison instead. In other words, Goo wasn't even the second choice

Feats: Goo has a good feat against Pacheon Jo in Icheon, but it doesn't even compare to Gitae's feat in the current arc. The weakest person Gitae faced is already MUCH superior to Pacheon;Pacheon himself admitted this: Daniel with the Path. Furthermore, Daniel with the Path further improved his path during the fight against Gitae; Gitae himself says so. In addition to facing this Daniel, Gitae faced Ginyung copying Shingen, Gapryong + Conviction, UI Daniel (the first to defeat Daniel in this state without using a weakness), and defeated Ginyung with the Path;considering that Ginyung's path extracts the best of Gen 0 and creates its own techniques, it's absurd. Gitae defeated all of this without even reaching his limit yet. Another point where Goo is destroyed by Gitae.

Narrative: Gitae was introduced gradually and his impact on the work is gigantic; he has always been praised in an absurd way, so much so that he was the one who trained James in Cheonliang after he lost to Seongji Yuk; he's the son of Gapryong and was the only one who caused trauma to the protagonist by recently killing his uncle in the story.

Now I ask myself, what exactly is Goo superior to Gitae in? I'm not a Goo hater against James and Gun he has a debate, and by feats he destroys James, but against Gitae he has absolutely no chance.

To me, Gitae is clearly superior right now, but the Korean fans are ruthless toward James—they're even worse than I am

To think Gitae swept four people stronger than Tom Lee: Daniel with a mid-fight improved Path; Jinyoung copying Gapryong, Shingen, Dogyu, and even Conviction; UI Daniel with no stamina limits copying the Perfect Body; and Jinyoung with a Path that extracts the best of Gen 0 to create his own technical priorities and stat boosts. He did all of this without even hitting his limit, smiling the whole time and even 'helping' the guy out since in the final blow, he used his left hand and took it head-on just because the guy was missing a finger. James Lee has already taken more damage than Gitae. It’s insane

Question: If Gitae let James hit him for a whole week without doing anything, would James even be able to take him down?

I hope James fans learn their place; James should never be compared to Gitae on the same level again.

I would say this is a controversial post, but there’s nothing controversial about it; the only people who'll disagree are crazy fanboys who debate power scaling based on favoritism. Gitae destroys everyone in everything: feats, statements, and narrative. The funniest part of all is that he was the last one introduced in the series. The Incheon arc was wild; I think I heard Gitae's name mentioned more times than James has been mentioned in the entire story.

Open letter to the Goo stans, from one of your own. After Goo took an L from a half-dead Gun, do you really think PTJ would let him beat a 100% Gun or Gitae? The truth stings, but PTJ just hates the guy. I’m done coping; Gitae gags him in every stat. Deep down, you know the vibes: he’s not winning that

Gitae watching James struggle against Tom Lee while he brutalized 4 top tiers; two with Mastery, one copying the Perfect Body in UI, and copies of Shingen and Gapryong + Conviction: 'Even after I trained you in Cheonliang after you got thrashed by Yuk, you're still fodder. Unbelievable

The question is: is there anyone currently in the series capable of knocking out Gitae, based on what has been shown so far?

To answer that right away, the response is obviously no. I’m not saying there never will be, but we can't debate based on guesswork; we have to stick to what has actually been depicted in the work until now.

We all know Gitae possesses a monstrous physique that already grants him immense durability, and we’ve seen that his Path is linked to something akin to a 'Berserker' state, the more damage he takes, the more powerful and resilient he becomes.

Junyoung, with his Path and his ability to copy Gapryong and his conviction, is by far the character with the highest offensive power in the series so far (among those currently alive). His Path itself is quite bizarre, as he takes the best traits from everyone he copied in Generation Zero to create his own unique technique. He developed a skill combining Elite's speed, internal durability from Baekho, and raw strength strikes mixing Gapryong and Shingen...

The guy is literally the Kenpachi Zaraki of Lookism; he hasn't even come close to his limit yet. It's insane.

Gitae’s toughness > Iron Bones. Is this related to his 'Mastery/Path,' or is it just his monstrous physique and raw brute force or perhaps both?
