There's literally no way that James felt that presence against Gap. Any first gen king would have gotten overwhelmed by that pressure alone and yet he was struggling against Seongji Yuk. If james seriously went against Gap even in a 1v2 , he should be able to one shot Seongji. I know that James was dominating that fight against Seongji , but that doesn't prove anything. Just one punch from Gap and James lee would have died right there according to his feats against Seongji.

So in future , ptj will have to show that fight where gap wasn't able to land a single hit to james lee. Which I find absurd.

Last three panels displays the power of an unserious punch from Gap.

Almost got on his knees against early Jake pre conviction pre revenge amp.

Got sent to hell by Shingen with a weaker version of Jake's conviction punch.

His fans call him the best of the Yamazaki, yet his black bones got obliterated by Yuseong's knee. Imagine what post-incheon jake would do to those black bones.

Got overwhelmed by Path Johan despite having had his Path for longer and training since he was two years old.

Bro says, "I'll kill every single one of you," but his threats are literally meaningless. He doesn't even do shit to anyone.

And then his bumass fans try to argue that Kitae is a failed version while Gun is the pure one, or some shit. How did Shingen and multiple women produce a bunch of bums, while Gapryong and Rei produced Kitae whos a pinnacle on their first try?

"But, but Gun has more talent than Shingen, Gapryong, and everyone else" Johan has more talent than pretty much everyone, yet he's still weaker than other top tiers. James Lee has more talent than Kitae, and they're still equals.

I have no issue with Gun himself, but his bumass fans will cry under every other character's discussion or appreciation post because their goat isn't relevant anymore. And even if he fights James, he'll probably get destroyed for the sake of the plot. These are the same morons who genuinely believe a side character is going to beat a major villain. LMFAO.

Lookism even back then was on some crazy shit

Taken too seriously

A lot of people, including good powerscalers often make this mistake while powerscaling characters.

There are so many statements in Lookism which do not make sense but powerscalers use them to win against their opponents, and surprisingly they do well against normal people due to their debating skills. But being a better debater doesn't mean an honest debater.

For an instance, people often say that Paecheon is equal to Shingen. I am not challenging anyone here and you guys might have different opinions, but for normal viewers, it sounds very absurd. Imagine talking to your friend and saying that Paecheon ~ Shingen, they will find your scaling very vague but you might defeat them in a debate.

Paecheon being equal to Shingen isn't supported anymore, especially after Gapryong Kim arc. Even narratives don't support this. People put Jaegyeon Na above Kitae using these absurd statements.

They mistake it as an Authorial Intentionalism.

But it's not enough to make authorial intents = actual scaling. We all are very well aware of the fact that Lookism uses exaggerated statements to aura farm or uplift a character. Like James glazed Jaegyeon, only to get him no diffed against James.

Please stop falling for this trap. Scaling from statements is okay but only using statements or overriding feats & narratives just for statements itself is very contradictory. If you find something which other people find absurd, you need to elaborate it with proper proof rather than just teasing others.

It's pretty clear that Mujin was not present at that time when shingen attacked korea , he was travelling across the country. I think that he will be the one who will save gap too and will train with him.

I mean, just look at it. The moment James lee uses his path, the scence becomes colorless, it's like Redrawing the scence with a different outcome.

James lee should get hit --> james lee makes PTJ redraw the scence or at least to think about it --> James lee doesn't get hit.

What if Gap died on the same day he fought against tom lee , tom said that even gap couldn't handle his final attack which means gap was injured after getting hit by it. And just after tom left gap , kitae and james jumped on him and killed him. Which is the reason why jinyoung blamed tom lee for gap's death.

And as tom too would have been injured and tired after fighting gap specially after using his ult move , changsu used that moment to cut his arm since tom was injured and exhausted.
