As I'm the only Sengoku Youko supporter (and the only one who read the manga probably) I'll list Jinun's advantages and how he usually fights.

Jinun is a martial artist, his focus is hand-to-hand combat. Jinun is over 3 meters tall when transformed into a half-dragon and his fighting style is based on mixing spiritual energy with his martial proficiencies. Jinun is not the type to extend a fight, he prefers to land his deadliest blows on his opponents, even if they are far weaker.

Jinun can amplify the attacking and defensive power of his physical strikes simultaneously using Hagun's Palm (which is similar to Busoshoku), he can also create barriers that significantly decrease the power of opponent attacks and, lastly, Jinun is able to deflect projectiles. However, Jinun doesn't rely on body-to-body, he is also capable of releasing vast blasts of energy from the palm of his hand, these blasts are apparently far more powerful than his normal strikes.

Speaking of skill. Jinun is a martial arts master, he has been trained by the Dangaishuu (an organization of assassin monks) since his childhood. Out of the thousands of monks in the organization, Jinun has always shown himself to be the most skilled and proeminent. His biggest rival in the organization, Douren, was considered more powerful and more skilled than entire battalions of monks, and Jinun was always seen by the monks as far superior to Douren (Douren himself spent his entire life seeking knowledge of multiple martial arts around the world to compete with Jinun, and could only defeat him after a fight that left himself in a state of imminent death). Jinun, even after being sealed for eight years, being all this period without entering battles, did not show difficulties in overcoming Senya, his son, in combat. In that time, Senya had been trained by a goddess for eight years, with the sole purpose of defeating Jinun. That same Senya was later able to single-handedly an entire army of demons with hundreds of years of experience being mind-controlled to kill him.

It's better than hst trash

I will read through this other guy's profile and make sure Zoro wins just to spite you for this comment.


Jinun advantages:
-Higher AP
-Spirit energy amp
-Regen
-Better ranged attacks


Zoro advantages(and make sure you catch these, cuz this is a long list):
-Accelerated Development and Reactive PL
-Higher LS
-Information Analysis and Analytical Prediction
-Aura of tangible bloodlust paralyzes a foe with fear
-Better Stamina and pain tolerance
-His swords are durable enough that they can't be destroyed in this fight.
-Skilled enough that in the first saga, he could beat a guy with twice as many swords as him, who was good enough to do serious damage to him, fast enough to keep up with him,, and who believed himself to be superior to human levels of skill, despite Zoro being injured during the fight. Btw, these injuries were enough to nearly make him faint, and were still bleeding. And he had a fever that was getting worse over time. And two of the swords he was using were ones he'd never used before. And he was stomping this guy through pure skill. Legitimately, he was dancing around on top of this superhuman man's spinning blades, and effortlessly parrying his attacks.

And now, let's get into Zoro's best techniques for the situation:
-Iai: A type of attack that speeds up his slash enough to blitz the foe.
-Shishi Sonson: A strike that can cut through things his blade normally could not, yet can also avoid cutting that he does not want to cut. A one-handed duraneg slash. He uses this when the opponent is very durable.
-Hiryu: Kaen: A two-handed slash that causes the wound itself to burn.
-Toro Nagashi: Constantly blocks with two swords while twisting and moving.
-Tatsumaki: Slashes with all 3 swords in a circle, creating a tornado that cuts the foe. Can also be used without swords, but doesn't cut.
-One Gorilla, Two Gorilla: Zoro boosts the size of his muscles in the middle of a fight, enhancing one attack to a great degree.
-Asura: Zoro generates 2 additional heads and 4 additional arms. The 9 sword style multiplies his power by 3.

Due to the difference in AP, Zoro would only be able to hurt Jinun with Shishi sonson; Ashura or Gorilla boost. Keep in Mind that Jinun can still significantly decrease Zoro's attacks with spiritual energy boost and forcefields. As for Tatsumaki, Jinun is used to dealing with danmaku. He casually did this with no effort; Jinun could also disperse any tornado with energy blasts (Senya literally used the Nadare's soul to disperse tornados).

Jinun's stamina is comparable to Douren's and should be superior to Mudo's. These characters can fight incessantly for hours and days, Jinun's son, physically fought thousands of demons while being alone. And then he even faced a demon that literally can't get tired. Douren fought for a whole day non-stop against a demon, suffering serious injuries, without even obtaining the transformation yet (He made this in human form only). I know Zoro has amazing feats of stamina, like taking Luffy's pain and staying conscious, but I don't think he would overwhelm an elite soldier with the powers of a dragon god. Jinun is a character who could only be stopped by sealing from a goddess or fighting so hard for so long to the point of being in a state of imminent death.

Skilled enough that in the first saga, he could beat a guy with twice as many swords as him, who was good enough to do serious damage...

Hatchan is actually so weak that this is not quite as impressive as it appears when we describe in detail. Hatchan's better feats in battle is losing to an injured and weakened Zoro at the beginning of his journey. After Arlong Park hatchan becomes a tertiary and irrelevant character in fights, going against the thesis that he was a good or skilled swordsman .

He was able to fight well enough that Johnny and Yosaku were in awe at Zoro surviving with 6 blades out. He was also comparable to guys that could hurt Sanji. Hatchan also fought enough that he amassed a bounty of 8 million in a sea where the average pirate captain has 3 million.

Nonetheless, Zoro is outclassing him more than a martial arts master could outclass a rookie, and he gets more skilled every arc.

It's certainly something to consider, but if we're going to analyze it precisely, these characters are trash within the verse in terms of combat ability. Hatchan had a similar position to Kuroobi in Arlong's crew, but that doesn't necessarily mean they both possess the same combat skill proficiency. I will count your vote.
