King only put down Hansu after an extensive battle and because Hansu was handicapped by an injury— he also had more endurance and stamina because of his physique. Hansu when he got serious was breaking King's bones with each attack. And even after he kept beating Hansu, Hansu was able to remain conscious long enough to pierce King's chest with his fingers.
Again, nah. Hansu wasn't injured, he was just old. We see that in the flashback panel... it wasn't about injury, it was just him getting old. I mean, every character from the Old Gen is just old and out of their prime.
And again, I'm saying Hansu was barely able to hold onto his consciousness to deliver that blow to the heart. Meanwhile Tom literally took no damage, as King himself said: "none of my attacks went through him.” English may not be my first language, but I'm sure I know that means low to no damage.
So that's the comparison: a guy who got laid out by King after he used God's Realm, vs a guy who barely took any damage despite King using God's Realm.
Even Jincheol was capable of going up against King and taking attacks from him with relatively little damage and was only really surprised because of King's superhuman endurance allowing him to fight at peak condition constantly rather than just his raw strength.
Nope. Base Jincheol barely did any damage to King. He almost got knocked down from the helicopter. He needed War Mode and a flashback to get back into the damn aircraft, and yet he didn't fight King. He just slammed the pilot and took 3 chapters with him. He barely fought King, and the moment he got overwhelmed he dipped out.
This also doesn't erase the countless other times Kim harms and fights on par with Tom.
Yeah, but during those encounters Tom never went all out. During their last fight he was drunk or holding back. And to back this up, Manager Kim literally says nothing would work against Tom (he meant weapons) and he wouldn't imagine Tom losing to something while he himself had wires wrapped on his fist.
And the biggest statement/feat that favours Tom: during the Interview he damaged SMK's arm so badly that it was barely usable for the next 80 chapters, while Tom barely had any injury from the Interview. The only reason he stopped was because SMK was destroying his furniture.
