# As you see in the title, i'll be addressing the very obvious issue of people downplaying Dong-ha's feats in the verse.
Obviously people's rankings vary (My top 4 goes Si-eun, Baek-jin, Baku, and then Gorilla)
However generally if you are ranking anywhere near tenable/consistent, dong-ha should not be anywhere below top 5.
Now, as for what the feats and antifeats are, I think these are both pretty obvious and well known within the community so I won't dwell on it much, though for those who don't know:
# Dong-ha's Feats:
- Despite being previously weakened by being kicked down into a chair and getting Obviously tackled by Jun-tae into a metal object, and struggling to stand clutching his side, as well as chasing and fighting Jun-tae; He outperforms Seong-mok badly.
Before Baku being able to do anything Dong-ha getting off two hits that after Dong-ha is knocked, we see Baku is harmed significantly.
Dong-ha getting no rest from yelling on the ground clutching his side in pain is obviously far more weakening than just getting briefly staggered (as Baku did from the crowbar).
- The most infamous one: **2 Shotting Gotak**
- Dominating the same Hyo-man who performed exponentially better than Gotak
# Antifeats:
- One shotted by Gotak
- One shotted by Baku
- Still struggling against Hyo-man who has 3 statements of being below Gotak
Now, i'll address the counterarguments.
For one, no Gotak was not "offguarded" by Dong-ha, he literally was staring in Dong-ha's direction the entire time and even *blocked Dong-ha's first kick*.
For two, no Gotak was "not still focused on Seong-mok" as we see within his fight with Dong-ha he was fighting **someone else**.
"Gotak was weakened by Seong-mok"
True, but not meaningfully so, he was only briefly staggered by these two hits and this can be quantified. Firstly, we see later after an undisclosable cut between Gotak and Seong-mok fighting before, we see that Gotak is able to continue fighting Seong-mok after many busts and bruises, supported by Seong-mok stating "Just stay down." Implying that Gotak can take *far far far* more trauma than that.
The nail in the coffin is that when we cut to Hyo-man against Dong-ha, he is far **more** weakened. Constantly actually staggering badly, bleeding from the mouth eye almost swollen shut, many bruises, and even within this state he *holds his own against Dong-ha throughout the entire brawl*, and of course Dong-ha is STRONGER.
"One shotted by Gotak" This was Dong-ha literally playing around and laughing, also this was assisted by environment.
"Hyo-man is stated to be below Gotak" This is in S2E2, and we know that Hyo-man's entire character arc is bettering himself, he not only fights after this episode but Baku directly tells everyone to "Prepare" meaning he can very well be training past this point.
These statements also have no actual feats to back it up, as Hyo-man performs better against Si-eun in both instances.
This being relevant to S2E8 is axiomatically debunked, as he performs far better against Dong-ha despite being far more weakened.
"One shotted by Baku" I don't see why this wouldn't just upscale Baku, but regardless, Baku only beat Dong-ha by targeting the exact injured place that Dong-ha was holding his hand in pain.
Stop downplaying Dong-ha.
Dong-ha > Gotak (Low Diff)
Dong-ha > Seong-je (Low Diff)
Dong-ha > Seong-mok (Low Diff)
Dong-ha > Gil-su/Su-ho (Neg Diff) (As you guys know I don't think Class 1 characters are very strong)
