It's my 18th birthday today and the fact that I am an adult now fills my heart with enough negative emotions to create a special grade curse. So I've decided to take out all that negativity by slandering my favourite punching bag, Hajime Kashimo. Here is why Ryu would absolutely bitchslap, dogwalk and pound (Base) Kashimo:
Ryu has the
highest output in the Culling Games, and was rumoured to have the highest output during the Edo period (either way higher than Kashimos bum ass). Each hit of his Granite Blast is strong enough
to force Yuta to heal with RCT (something Lashimo doesn't have). His high output also applies to his punches and he is durable enough to withstand his own Granite Blast being fired back at him.
In a fight Kashimo won't be able to do much to even dent Ruy, his CE trait got nulled by Hakari's output so "highest output in the culling games" Ryu shouldn't have a problem either and he is gonna be taking significant permanent damage from every Granite Blast he gets hit by. "Oh but what about lightning discharge!? If Kashimo builds up enough charge he is just gonna one shot Ryu" I hear the Arkenis among you type. Well think about it for a moment, do you think the guy that took Sukuna's (fingered 16 times) dismantle with only surface level damage and his own "highest output in the Culling Games" Granite Blast with just a few bruises is gonna explode to pieces from Kashimos discharge? And that's assuming he even lasts long enough to get the discharge off because Granite Blast is just a stronger more spammable attack
And this is not even considering the fact that Ryu actually has a domain, while Kashimo's sorry ass doesn't. So yea Ryu pummels (Base) Kashimo
