if you didn't have a worm's brain, or weren't just a baiter looking to stir up trouble, you would've known since the Workers' 4th Affiliate that Gitae is the guy future Daniel said is the big villain everyone needs to face. literally the 4th affiliate is the prologue to Gitae's arrival in the story and in Korea
how the hell is SB Daniel superior to Gitae if he needed Gitae himself to beat OG Daniel in UI? Especially since OG wasn't even copying SB Daniel at that moment. The parallel PTJ left is evident: to beat UI without limits of endurance and pain, only Gitae can pull it off. Furthermore: The character being copied > his own copy, even if it's perfect
"for this guy to be Jirang, Jirang needs to have innate strength, his strikes need to be pure brute force and zero technique. Could anyone send me any dialogue showing that Jirang has this fighting style? As far as I know, only Gitae is portrayed that way. So, no my little friend... SB never copied Jirang, in the beginning he copied Gun (or Shingen) and Taesu, after Warren's line EVERYTHING is Gitae, making it explicit that nobody there knew who SB Daniel was copying.
The similarity between Gapryong and Gitae in their fights is literally identical, both evolved their conviction through their body and destroyed the enemy. Unlike Gapryong who didn't even have a glimpse of his path yet, Gitae already had his path and PTJ has already given hints of what it might be, tied to the fact that his attack's AP is not about efficiency, even against Jinyoung's path, which we know is the most overpowered path we've ever seen. to me, that would fit Gitae's kit perfectly. We know the Kim bloodline has the legendary blood of infinite evolution, but for them to keep evolving during a fight with conviction/overcome, their body also needs to hold up, something Gapryong didn't have against Shingen, his body couldn't take it for him to keep evolving. Gitae's path, and possibly Gapryong's, maximizes the potential of overcome/conviction precisely because they don't go down. what do you guys think of this theory, does it make sense?
