Hong Lu Powerscaling Rant
As a certified Hong Lu glazer, i'd like to bring up some points when it comes to powerscaling my goat. I'll be going in order from weakest to strongest feats.
TL;DR: Hong Lu is the best Wincon for Dante, who won't absolutely murder everyone (that we know yet)
#1: LCB Checkup.
Hong Lu is ranked as the 6th strongest sinner Pre-employment. This puts him above people like Heathcliff and Ishmael. If I had to make a ranking now, I'd throw Sinclair above Ryoshu and Gregor above Don Quixote moving Hong Lu down to 8th. 6th (7th including Gregs) is a good baseline, putting him around middle of the pack.
#2: Nocturnal Sweeping.
During the intervallo, we get this line of dialogue
"Unlike Shan San, who was throwing punches and swings with boiling hot passion, Hong Lu was effortlessly gliding between his opponent's strikes like he was out on a picnic. Whenever Shan San threw a powerful punch, Hong Lu redirected it to the side with ease, the fist only grazing his clothes. We were mesmerized by the feathery-light movements of his hands and feet that effortlessly glided through the air… until, after one blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, we realized that Shan San was already face-down on the ground, defeated."
This is a decent baseline for his strength, showcasing how Shan San landed no blows on Hong Lu, and even how Hong Lu managed to beat him in the "blink of an eye." In an actual powerscaling debate, the blink of a human eye is around 100 ms at the least. Hong Lu one tapped this MF in under 0.1 seconds.
#3: Canto IIIV; The Surrendering Witnessing.
The ending of Hong Lu's canto is different than the ending of other cantos, and people gloss over it a bit. Every canto end after 3 (4-6, 8-9) has had the sinner create a room that they then do their funny "Big attack to kill the final boss (or whale)." However none of the sinners interact with the room, they only interact with things already in the area (Dongrang, the Heart, Erlking?, Don Quixote, and Rien.) Hong Lu is different, because he directly interacts with the area. The dam wasn't there before, this MF made a WHOLE ASS DAM to merk granny. The dam released water for 50+ seconds, with 30 of the seconds having much higher water pressure. Also, Hong Lu himself MAKES the area, whereas the areas sort of just spawn in for every other sinner.
#4: Canto IX; The Unsevering.
This is probably the more underrated of his feats. Putting it simply, >!HONG LU EXTINGUISHED AN ENTIRE RELIC.!< A relic, something >!Vergilius struggled with to beat (Eye of Odin).!< A relic, something that could >!slice people so thin, they stop existing (Arayahsiki).!< Hong Lu, the supposed "5-4th weakest sinner" managed to extinguish a relic.
