Chokata Toshisuke, who began sword training at the age of nine, already has a full seven years of sword training history, while Aoto, who has been training for less than a year, still has a significant gap compared to Toshisuke.
The most compelling evidence of Aoto's current strength being far inferior to Toshisuke's is that when Aoto duels with Toshisuke, "Lone Brave" still activates automatically.
Aoto can only manage to fight to a draw with Toshisuke, whose sword skills are six years more advanced and physical abilities are as strong as a remodeled person, when "Lone Brave" is fully activated.
But as strong as Toshisuke is, he also has two quite obvious shortcomings: lack of stamina and not being good at fighting multiple opponents.
Toshisuke's combat style is "single-point burst."
In a very short time, he unleashes a fierce storm-like attack on the opponent, quickly finishing them off.
If he fails to defeat the opponent in a very short time... then Toshisuke is in trouble.
