It's mildly powerful in
ginga universe, on context to all other techniques.
Aside from Battougas seen in the wolf arc (which is pretty much not considered as canon anymore by Takahashi) Ningatou is one of the strongest techniques in all Ginga, the only thing that I can think of that comes close in terms of power/deadliness is Neck the Killing
which is really just a variation of Battouga and used only by Yukimura, Joe and Weed.
How about literally all the Iga/Kouga ninja techniques then?
Wait, wolfarc's not canon? OMG
HOW?
The only offensive Iga techniques I can think of is the Raikaken, which hasn't ever actually managed to kill a character in the history of Ginga (except for Madara, which was mostly thanks to Gin incorporating
a giant honking tree branch spear into it), and the Souken/bamboo stick attack which absolutely nobody has ever used before it was magically made the best technique ever that the entire Ohu army has to practice. As for the Kogas, their only offensive technique seems to be the "swing a sickle around like a maniac" technique which the Ohu dogs already tried.
As for the canonicity of the wolf arc,
-No mention of the wolves after GNG, including Retsuga and Hyouma who joined the Ohu army at the end of GNG.
-No mention of the Battougas other than Zetsu Tenrou Battouga.
-Takahashi himself not liking the arc that much.
The only remnants of the wolf arc ever existing are Bill and Bemu being dead, Hakurou missing a leg, and a few characters mentioning the Ohu army's "two great wars" in GDW.
