Anji Yukyuzan VS Inui Banjin

[angelusdelioncourt]

When Sanosuke was fighting, Banjin, his fists weren't fully healed and had very limited use of the Futae No Kiwami.

Anji can use the Futao No Kiwami with every limb.

If Banjin wore those newer gloves that Enishi gave him, the same gloves that he used against his final fight against Sanosuke, and fought against Anji instead, who would have won? Fight to the death.

Inui was a bullet timer who was dancing around Sano and hitting him at will. If he can do something similar to Anji, he should be able to win eventually, as long as he doesn't do something utterly stupid like stand around and let Anji land a hit to show off the strength of his tekkai.

So I guess what I'm saying is, Anji wins. Blow-up-ality.

Any input on how "indestructible" Inui's gloves were actually?

Less than a Futae no Kiwami, more than Anji's face. If Inui doesn't deliberately block the FnK, he can probably beat Anji down by pummeling him with superior speed and agility combined with comparable strength.

There is no way Anji doesn't take the majority here. He trained his entire body to strike with FnK force. He could even shoulder-ram with that power. And he has a sword that lets him use an AoE FnK move as well. Not to mention, he could easily tank FnK force blows, so there really isn't much Inui can do. If he couldn't beat an injured Sanosuke with only one fist capable of doing the FnK, there's no way he's going to beat Anji, who can use it with way more impunity than Sano cna.

[angelusdelioncourt]

I agree the Anji is much more powerful than Sano. Sano didn't actually beat Anji. Anji just realized something and wanted to be "good" again. Sano could have been finished off right then and there.

The wild card with Inui is that he has those indestructible gauntlets/gloves that Sano's FnK can't seem to break. I mean the 2nd gauntlets/gloves that Enishi gave him. Not the first ones. The first ones weren't FnK-proof.

[The Drunkard Kid]

The second set couldn't take a FnK, either. Its just than Inui was fast/strong/agile enough that Sano couldn't land a blow on him until he decides to stupidly show off the durability of his new tekkai. As long as he doesn't do that again, Anji's gonna have a devil of a time even touching Inui, though I forgot about how Anji was able to fire off a ranged along the ground FnK with that sword, so he might get Inui with that trick.
