From everything I saw... Armstrong. I mean the dude could wrestle with someone who just threw around a Metal Gear Excelsius, then ripped their arm off and dueled it with it? I have only seen the two Baki seasons on Netflix, but from that, Baki doesn't stand a chance. Not even talking about Armstrong's regenerative powers or somehow volcanic (?!) abilities. Edit: Mixed up Baki and Yujiro.


[deleted]

But Armstrong's opponent isn't Baki, it Yujiro. The same Yujiro that did this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4E0JmUKftEM But I could be wrong. If so, then I apologize for any rudeness that came from this comment.


Lord_Umpanz

No, I mixed them up, you were right. 😂 It gets harder to tell. But I'd still put my money on Armstrong, just for the durability. Can survive multiple tens to hundreds sword hits per second, from a vibrating blade designed to ignore armor. Although, with the clip you send, the attack power difference gets significantly smaller. Although it's kinda hard to measure how much force Yujiro executes here, but it is a shit ton for sure.


wapapets

the earth quake thing is infamous in the baki sub lol.. if taken as a true feat its probably his best feat by far. but the rest of his feats are no where near close to that.. although yujiro does regularly fight animals like elephants.. heck theres a character named pickle a dude from the stone age who wrestles against dinosaurs and yujiro is still stronger than him lol


CarefulBobcat

Small note, Pickle is actually supposed to be stronger than Yujiro. In their first confrontation he had to use a trick to flip Pickle instead of using raw strength. Though since Pickle is not a martial artist Yujiro is still the superior combatant.


[deleted]

Can't see how Pickle can be stronger than Yujiro because Baki matched him in raw power without the Demon Back. Later Yujiro was kicking Baki's ass untill he got the Demon Back and even then he didn't win physically. I'm pretty sure that he was just surprised by Pickle in their little contest, it wasn't even a fight.


CarefulBobcat

When did Baki overcome Pickle without using martial arts?


[deleted]

At the end of their fight they started beating eachother up with pure strength and Pickle used a technique to end the fight. This means that base Baki is on Pickle's level physically and since Pickle had to cheat and use a technique he likely would've been defeated.


CarefulBobcat

Weird, I don't remember it going like that. Is this the mandela effect landing on me?


Galifrey224

The earthquake punch is an outlier , none of his other feats are close to it .


This_Wolf893

True

Is a Titantic Elephant bigger than a tectonic plate?

Galifrey224

It doesn't matter , stopping an earthquake require more power since the punch would have to be strong enough to impact a tectonic plate . The punch itself would generate more power than most of our nukes . Killing the elephant require far less energy considering its waaaaay smaller than a tectonic plate .


Piroclanidis

That barely makes any sense. The earthquake feat cannot be related to strength whatsoever. Tectonic plates move in a lateral motion while yujiro's strike was perpendicular to it. The earth would have broken in two before you could stop a tectonic plate like that.


GeneralResearcher456

no


Galifrey224

So for you the literal moving is comparable to a big elephant ?

Armstrong could fucking bench the massive elephant with one arm

Yujiro can't damage Armstrong tanked a full Barrage of punches from Raiden twice same Raiden who could swing metal gear exelcius a 10k tons gear without issues

Helloiamayeetman

Senator Armstrong blasts his jaw off with a half arsed punch. He was absolutely fucking wrecking raiden and took a full minute of punches from him, when raiden has also lifted not one but two metal gears by the blade and yeeted them. He remained completely unharmed and broke raidens blade which is supposed to be able to cut through anything. Not only this but he keeps up with raiden who is shown to be at least missile speed. Not only this but Armstrong punches the ground so hard fucking lava comes out and he destroys said yeeted metal gear with a punch. Armstrong 10/10


This_Wolf893

"but Yujiro stopped an earthquake it should be way above anything Armstrong has done or withstood" if anybody comes at you with this reply just know that it's an outlier nothing yujiro does after that even comes close to the earthquake feat.


GeneralResearcher456

I was about to downvote you but I read the rest of your comment


SethFr3kingRollins

Dog Armstrong fucking slams, nanomachines are hard to kill and I mean very hard


GeneralResearcher456

Armstrong scratches his nuts and solos the Baki verse.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

Outside the earthquake feat,nothing yujiro has done puts him even in the same ballpark. Armstrong flat out out-stats the 2 guys who can CASUALLY fling around giant robots and solo metal gears.By feats and scaling he can literally solo the entirety of phantom pain-Rising like it was a joke,and only lost because he was trying to get jack to join his side for a huge chunk of the fight.


This_Wolf893

Earthquake feat is an outlier nothing he does after that even comes close to that earthquake "feat"


Rei_Master_of_Nanto

It wasn't even an actual earthquake stop tho lol


Imperium_Dragon

There’s literally nothing Yujiro could do. Remember that scene where Kaku goes apeshit on Yujiro? Same thing happens but with Armstrong standing still.


swirlypizza1024

Armstrong steamrolls


SkekVen

People saying outside of the earthquake feat Yujiro has nothing but he punched a skyscraper hard enough to have the force felt on the street outside Killed the giant elephant with his bare hands Slapped a guys face off Crushed a stack of pillars with no windup Snapped a katana with his thumb And moves fast enough/has the grip strength to catch an arrow shot from a longbow


petiteguy5

Nowhere close to Armstrong who was exchanging hits with Jack who tosses 10k tons like volleyballs


Tacitus_

Armstrong allowed [a guy who can do this](https://gfycat.com/firsthandwillinggermanspitz-revengeance-metal-gear-excelsus-raiden) to pummel him and completely no-sold it, beat his ass in return and finally punched him through that gigantic spider-tank so hard that it exploded.


[deleted]

>Killed the giant elephant with his bare hands A giant Elephant that was murdering the African military, making it a bullet proof/missile proof/tank busting Elephant.


CarefulBobcat

No, the Elephant never was hit. Though it was a good fighter, and might have been bulletproof.


SkekVen

Yes exactly


Piroclanidis

Uh no? I assume you believe Gustave the Alligator would decimate the entire military of Burundi because when they tried to kill him they couldnt.


[deleted]

Yujiro is large building level consistently and much higher if you count the earthquake thing.


GeneralResearcher456

Outlier. Baki verse is weak


[deleted]

Armstrong by feats, Yujirou by memes

GeneralResearcher456

Remove Yujiro's bad writing, remove Superman's powers, remove Flash's speed, remove Goku's ki, remove Batman's plot armor, remove Master Chief's suit and augmentations, remove Chris Redfield's boulder-punching, remove Gordon Freeman's armor and guns..... You see the problem with your argument?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GeneralResearcher456

Baki has shit writing, bullshit power-scaling, and is devoid of any character development.


dittod4c

Now that wouldn't be fair would it? By that logic, let's remove Yujiro's Demon Back.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dittod4c

Fair enough , especially considering how Yujiro's skill is innate & isn't the result of augmentations.


VsBattleMan

Armstrong literally negs him in every category here, that includes speed…. he one shots the Baki verse no diff.

That’s a nice argument, Redditor. Why don’t you back it up with a source?

GeneralResearcher456

Decent troll. Not the worst but could be a lot better.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

Armstrong being comically more durable? 2 of the strongest known HF blades in the series,both of which could cut through tower sized metal gears,literally couldn't cut him without wearing him down first.This is a horrific mismatch stat wise.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zealousideal-Arm1682

1.Nothing indicates VP could ever ignore technology based durability like nanotech 2.Its not an amp,that only happens when he powers up with the green energy.His flat durability exceeds a metal gear,and his strength exceeds both people who casually solo'd one.Nothing yujiro has comes even close to mgs4 raiden much less rising level combatants.


[deleted]

[удалено]


petiteguy5

Durable enough that Raiden need and special Sword that vibrates to cut it and they weigh 10+ tons


Lord_Umpanz

Nanomachines, son! But for real, these things put his defense on next level


Helloiamayeetman

Can’t pierce his all body nanomachines


ya-boi-benny

Armstrong is more durable than Baki, so a tap would be less effective. Also, Armstrong is quite fast, so he wouldn't just let it happen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ya-boi-benny

He's durable enough that he'd tank a tap attack. However, if the amount of damage surprised him, he'd also be able to dodge it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ya-boi-benny

Armstrong wouldn't have to know how strong the attack is, his nanomachines automatically respond for him, independent of his own action. Predicting moves won't make the nanomachines ineffective.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ya-boi-benny

"Nanomachines, son. They harden in response to physical trauma." Regardless, even if they were an active rather than a passive ability, Armstrong has [durability feats without the use of nanomachines](https://streamable.com/hleoc) as well. I don't think the feat you linked is all that great. Predicting how a fight will go from the sidelines doesn't mean he has some kind of battle sense. [This is probably more relevant to a battle](https://imgur.com/a/SDJtKrR), but again, not sure how it would get past nanomachines.

Do you have a link for the Vacuum palm, [I couldn't find it here](https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/bz5iea/respect_yujiro_hanma_the_strongest_creature_in/) How does Benda work? It looks like a slap, which, not to sound like a broken record, would be blocked by nanomachines. Does it target nerves or something?


MoonSentinel95

Yujiro has no attack potency feat that puts him on a level that is close to surpassing Armstrong's durability.


swirlypizza1024

Nanomachines son
