While Bam vs. White is coming to a close, Yama vs. Yasratcha Round 2 is just getting started. It would be an understatement to say that their first match was a slaughter, as Yasratcha annihilated Yama without breaking a sweat in the process. The situation has changed dramatically since Yama received some encouragement and a power-up from his brother Doom — and Chapter 513 is merely the beginning of what might be an epic battle between the two brothers.
In terms of objective strength levels, both Yama and Yasratcha are High Rankers, and Doom, who didn’t battle Yasratcha the first time, is also a High Ranker, albeit not quite as powerful as they are. Doom is also a High Ranker, though not quite as powerful as they are. Against Yasratcha, the Baylord Brothers should have a reasonably straightforward battle on paper. However, because he is a member of the Lo Po Bia family, which is widely recognised as the greatest Animas in the Tower with the capacity to manipulate other species, the Canines are automatically at a disadvantage when they come face to face with him.
Additionally, author Siu stated in his Chapter 492 blog post that Yasratcha is actually the most well-balanced combatant in the series so far, according to his observations. This most likely indicates that his talents, as well as his experience and strategic thinking, are all at a similarly high level. This is why Siu claims that if he were to face Kallavan in a straight confrontation on the battlefield, he might not even come out on top. So Yasratcha wasn’t victorious just on the basis of his Anima status, but rather because his total fighting ability was greater.
But, most crucially, as Doom pointed out in Chapter 502, Yasratcha employed their father’s “Fangs of the Wild Beast,” instilling dread and obedience in young Yama, which explains why he was no match for Yasratcha the first time they faced off. Fangs may be used to generate followers who are not subject to the control of any other leaders in the Tower, which means they can also be used to govern the actions of these followers. Yama, according to Doom, inherited the Fang from their father, who has three Fangs in his possession. As a result of Doom’s imparting of his own Fang into Yama, his secret power appears to have awoken, and he appears to be no longer under the influence of Yasratcha.
Yama’s distinguishing characteristics are his pride and originality, therefore when Yasratcha had influence over him, he was no longer acting like himself, further diminishing his strength. Yama, on the other hand, should be on a par with him now that he has broken Yasratcha’s curse and received the Fang’s extra boost. When compared to Bam’s sudden power-up, Yama’s circumstance differs in that Yama was already extremely powerful. In reality, he is widely considered as one of the most powerful Slayers in the FUG — he only needs to overcome the numerous obstacles erected against him by Yasratcha. It’s finally time for a level playing field.
As of the beginning of this round, Yama’s disposition has already shifted significantly. He appears to be confident in his ability to battle Yasratcha on his alone, and he does not appear to desire to fight with Doom. As well, Yasratcha has noted a shift in Yama’s mobility, which has become smoother and more unexpected, making him a more dangerous opponent, particularly for a strategist like Yasratcha.
It is worth highlighting that, despite the extensive prelude, Yasratcha remains a mystifying figure. He is unquestionably brilliant, cunning, and vicious, and he has committed some horrible crimes. However, his reasons remain a mystery, and it is unclear what he is motivated by. While he is a member of the Jahad Army, he is neither as utterly dedicated to Jahad as Kallavan, nor is he as cunning as Lyborick. He is a middle-of-the-road character. He had the option of killing the whole Canine tribe, but he chose to spare the Baylord Brothers and keep the majority of the others as hostages. He may simply be amusing himself by playing games with others, but there appears to be something more to it. As a result, when his actual motives are exposed, the Baylords might be in for a tremendous surprise.
