Ou Sen vs. Ri Boku: Who is the Better Great General?
Coming to the battle we have at hand, who is the better Great General between Ou Sen vs Ri Boku? Ou Sen has a slight advantage, and he will most probably end up winning over Ri Boku.
Both of them had already clashed once, and we saw Ou Sen ending up superior to Ri Boku. And, based on whatever we saw between the both of them in that battle, we can safely say that Ou Sen is a better Great General.
Ou Sen only picks the battle he wins, and if he chooses to clash with Ri Boku, then he will surely end up being the winner. He also came up with a new Locust strategy out of thin air, which even surprised Ri Boku.
Ri Boku is also one of the strongest Great Generals, but it is a fact that he already lost to Ou Sen. And, we also know that there are many other areas in which Ou Sen dominates too.
1) Based on Raw Strength
This should be an easy win for Ou Sen. One look at him, and we can say why he is one of the most feared men of Qin. He can also slay multiple soldiers with ease, while just using his raw strength.
Ri Boku also showed tremendous raw strength in his battles, even managing to hold an advantage over Shin. But, he falls short of Ou Sen, who has higher raw strength than him.
2) Based on Strategies
This should be a win for Ri Boku. Ri Boku had surpassed many people like Shou Hei Kun, Haku Ki, and even Ou Sen in this aspect. He also has one of the highest intelligence in the series, which further fortifies his strategic skills.
On the other hand, we also know that Ou Sen is a formidable foe with his strategies. Despite his small disadvantage in intelligence, he was still able to surprise Ri Boku and win their war, with his strategy.
3) Based on Military Formations
This should be a tie for both of them. Despite having control over a rare military formation, it might not work against Ou Sen’s origin tactics. Ou Sen will be able to decipher the tactics and weaknesses of any army, due to his analytical skills.
The same goes for Riboku too. He was able to read the weakness and grasp the tactic of Ou Sen’s advanced defense formation, in their battle, using his Origin tactics.
4) Based on Experience
This is a win for Ri Boku, Ri Boku has very high experience in battles and uses his experience to further strengthen his own military formations, strategies, and tactics.
Despite Ou Sen being older than Ri Boku, he doesn’t have much experience compared to Ri Boku. This is only because Ou Sen chooses his battles so that he will end up winning.
5) Based on Army Strength
This should be an easy win for Ou Sen. We saw the capabilities of his army, and Qin military numerous times. He also has many loyal vassals and soldiers, who are ready to die for him.
Even if the vassals part is the same for Ri Boku too, he falls short of the strength of his soldiers. It is a known fact that Qin has way better troops, due to Haku Ki’s slaughter of Zhao’s troops.
6) Based on Overall Ability
Based on overall ability, we can say that Ou Sen will be a bit better than Ri Boku. On top of having disadvantages, he still managed to win against Ri Boku in their indirect confrontation.
So, with this, we will be able to say that in a duel of Ou Sen vs Ri Boku, we can see Ou Sen ending up as the winner over the other. We can also say that Ou Sen has an advantage when it comes to a 1-on-one battle.
Ou Sen doesn’t lose his ground too when it comes to strategies and military tactics. He will probably be able to fight on par with Riboku’s special knowledge of military formations and tactics.
