Badigadi occasionally acts as my opponent in training.
If you were to speak of it in terms of skill he doesn't reach the level of Ruijerd or Ghyslaine.
On the contrary, he'll probably fall behind even Paul and Eris.
No, rather than saying it as falling behind, it's more a feeling of he can do it but he doesn't do it.
He's blatantly cutting corners on the defense side.
Because he possesses an immortal body, he must not feel the necessity.
