User blog comment:-Saryn-/Genthru vs Knuckle debate/@comment-14902757-20140311084628

Interesting topic. I can only answer this based on what I've seen so far though. Genthru's countdown ability requires him to explain how it works. Knuckle's ability has an element of surprise to it and does not require that he explains how it works. Now, from the fight between Gon and Knuckle, the latter was hinted to be able to read the enemies intent based on the shifting of the enemy's aura alone, a technique where Little flower relies quite a lot. Once Genthru uses his little flower, Knuckle might be able to defend with Gyo or Ko (they must be both highly proficient with Ken). Little flower has this certain weakness that even Gon, with the help of Bisuke, was able to watch out for during their fight. But maybe Genthru was just being careless because, after all, he's fighting a kid. He only put up his guard later when Gon dealt a serious damage. But Genthru has not even shown an ounce of his fighting skills during the GI arc while Gon was able to fight quite close to Knuckle's level during their fight for the token. And if Bisuke even had to revert to her real form to defeat Bara who is basically inferior to Genthru, that might mean that Genthru is far more stronger in both physical and combat. So even if Knuckle was able to activate Hakoware, there's still a huge chance that Genthru would win.
