hougen VS genba

[dolan]

i've seen a few of these threads and thought "why not make one of my own?"

assuming we are ignoring their bond here, a fight between these two could go many ways. hougen seems to be "smarter" compared to genba, and would use other dogs/things to his advantage. i feel like genba would be more reckless, but that'd also make him less predictable and dangerous. i think hougen would probably win but wouldn't walk out of the battle unharmed.

what do ye guys think?

I would say Hougen as well. Both brothers are powerful, but Hougen might win after a very tough fight with some injuries as well.

I think I remember the manga? maybe? Hougen saying that Genba was probably stronger than him when hes enraged, but Hougen has more smarts than Genba for sure. A tie.

[Sandatora]

I'd say Hougen because he's the smarter of the two.

[rosebunny]

it would definitely be tough for both parties. even though hougen was clearly more intelligent, genba had that ruthlessness that rivaled hougens. honestly though id have to say hougen

[Arctic Ranger]

Hougen clearly knows plotbending so he'll win no matter what.

No but seriously, from all that we see, I'm pretty sure Hougen wins in every case. If I were to think of an in-universe explanation, it seems that Hougen does have aspects over Genba (even if he's implied to be weaker), like his intelligence for a start, but also I think we see more of a battle savvy side to him, more so than Genba at least and I reckon that would be enough.

Hougen would win definitely

[Daniel201]

I'd say hougen too

He is pretty smart and knows his brother well.
And its said Gemba gets angry pretty easily so.. Hougen.
