>>694857>Being beaten by someone whose original counterpart was well-regarded as an equal(something Guan Yu reserved for his brothers otherwise - not even the other two Tigers got that recoginition from him,) isn't exactly the same thing as "getting her ass kicked all over the place"She doesn't just get nullified by her rival, she gets badly damaged by many more fighters the series throws at her. In the early manga and Anime, she was portrayed as unequaled. Now, almost every fight I see her in she either loses or gets humiliated.
Look at the first fight in Great Guardian, they bring back Ryofu due to fan demand. They decided to give a demonstration how strong she is, so who's the practice dummy? Kanu is, and she gets rocked. Does she get a chance to get even? No. She gets dog-piled by her mind controlled friends and ends up out of commission the rest of the show.
