[Let's Go Fearless!]

Great list dude.

So who do you think would win in a fight between Raoh Vs Kaioh? While I think Kaioh's gonna win the fight but from Kenshiro's statement, he referred Kaioh as one of his greatest rival and didn't contradict his previous statement where he stated that Raoh is his greatest rival.

Kaioh would easily win by negating Raoh's Musou Tensei with Anryu Tenha and stomping him. Raoh's not doing a thing to him without Musou Tensei if Part 1 Kenshiro can put up a decent fight against him and a Kenshiro who would be significantly stronger than that one from his fights with Raoh, Falco and Han (as Lin stated Ken gets stronger when facing and defeating a strong opponent) got stomped harder by a suppressed Kaioh than by any previous opponent.

Kenshiro's statement doesn't really mean much since greatest =/= strongest. Kenshiro had respected Raoh's power since childhood, grown up training alongside him and had Raoh as his main opposition for a good chunk of his journey, of which included the deaths of many important friends and had the fate of the woman he loved in the balance during it's climax. Even after death, his legacy was a main driving force for Kenshiro with how much influence his legend had over the Shura population. By comparison, Kaioh was just a beefed up Souther.
