Addressing the Yujiro downplay
As always, if you disagree with me for any reason, then please explain why in the comments. Also, I might get things wrong as I'm typing from the top of my head and have a not-good memory. So please correct me if I make a mistake.
When it comes to the earthquake feat Yujiro pulled off, many people try to downplay Yujiro to not scaling to it for many reasons. Probably the most popular downplay argument I've seen is that Yujiro was taken out by some blow darts and was caught in a net. The first problem with using this is that at most, that would be a durability antifeat. Which, in the context of people talking about Yujiro's attack potency, would be irrelevant. But even if you wanna say that it matters for whatever reason, Yujiro through chain scaling should scale higher than the darts. For example, Oliva casually tanked a shotgun blast nude. But more importantly, the darts antifeat shouldn't scale because Yujiro was taken off guard by a group of men that old guy gathered for the specific purpose of neutralizing Yujiro. So to argue that Yujiro should be lower than dart level because of that one(or however many) panel, (which for the downplay to even work, we must assume that the men are average man level, but they could just be superhuman like the vast majority of Baki's cast.) would just be disingenuous.
Another cope I've heard is that Yujiro knew that the earthquake would stop, so he punched the ground to make it seem like he stopped the earthquake. Some may ask "how would he even know?" But I guess if he can see everyone's weaknesses with a single look, that could also apply to the Earth itself. The real problem is that it's the most out-of-character thing I've ever heard. Literally any other time we see Yujiro flex, it's just him showing off his strength, so for him to fake it this one time for no apparent reason makes no sense. Like- if we were talking about Usopp or Reigen, it might've sounded more believable.
There's an argument I've heard that Yujiro has only done it once, "So it's definitely an outlier. ☝️🤓" For an in-universe reason why that reasoning is dumb, how many opportunities do you think that Yujiro would have to neutralize an large earthquake? And why would he? For an out-of-universe reason, why would Itagaki make Yujiro punching earthquakes several times? (I thought Baki fans were tired of Itagaki re-re-reintroducing the cockroach dash for the 19th time) A character only needs to preform a feat once to be scaled off it. I honestly don't know why some people think otherwise. If you really think a character don't scale to a feat, then debunk that feat.
The only semi good argument I've heard against the earthquake feat is that it's impossible to properly Calc due to stopping an earthquake with a punch being not making sense(due to tectonic plates or whatnot). I am not knowledgeable enough to confirm nor deny that, but if it's true, fair enough.
