1- Yeah, that's a good point. Shalnark is more effective in a one on one fight, but Illumi is more effective in a brawl type scenario where others are present. So without a scenario, we can't really make a determination.

2- Yeah, I don't see why he wouldn't try to fight any other Troupe members. But there was a lot of time when we hadn't seen him for a while, so he could've been fighting strong opponents, we don't know.

3- Agree.

4 and 5- Well even if they are fan speculation, it's still interesting to see your thoughts on the responses.

6- I'm not someone who thinks that Feitan is invincible, but Nobunaga didn't seem like a very strong character to me. It's true that enhancement isn't Feitan's innate category, but at that point, it just seems like it depends on who would land a hit first. Neither one seems incredibly durable, and in a battle of speed, Feitan seems like the safer bet.
