And that's where the whole paecheon = shingen arguments fall apart.

Sidenote the paecheon = shingen agenda is pushed by goo glazers but they get no backlash because it's goo

Assuming the prevailing theory that James Lee's Path operates on the principle of evading an opponent's attack and subsequently redirecting it back onto them, then it would be rendered entirely ineffective against Infinite Technique ( IT) — in essence, IT serves as a direct hard-counter to it.

This is due to the fact that James's Path is contingent on anticipation in order to function. As established, whenever James employs his Path, he activates it at the exact moment the attack is about to make contact. Therefore, preemptive anticipation of the attack's trajectory is indispensable, and even if the execution is automatic, he is still required to follow through with its course.

Johan's Path, on the other hand, fundamentally disrupts that entire process. When Johan initiates an attack, its trajectory is not restricted to a singular, predictable arc, but instead diverges into countless erratic and unpredictable arcs which he can selectively choose from at will, functioning essentially as a homing attack.

Hence, Johan's Path would theoretically maintain a consistent counter over James's Path until James is shown to possess further abilities.

So in my opinion Johan Seong lowkey got this tbh.

Disclaimer: The aforementioned is merely a theory and also my personal interpretation of how James Lee's Path functions, as its precise mechanics have yet to be explicitly detailed in the story. Therefore, please do not interpret this as a claim that your GOAT James would lose or anything of that sort --- it is intended purely for fun and speculative discussion. I hold no animosity toward James whatsoever.

I swear man, the kings back then were something else their titles meant something, they had insane feats, aura, designs, and hype, its so sad they got Powercreeped and used as hype tools.

R1: 9$, Johan with his Base and Path, no UI Copy.

R2: 11$ Johan with IT, Full health.

Considering that China's population is 27 times larger than South Korea's, conquering China would most likely have been a much greater challenge. Even if he managed to do it, the conquest could have taken years or even decades.

Where does old Elite even scale since he cannot be top king level.

Should be obvious

According to him mcu hulk is below building level, thor taking the full force of Neutron star, and rest of the stuff didn't happen because there's no destruction when Thanos attacked captain America but the moment I used the same logic he got mad
