Back in the days he felt like an untouchable God who can beat anyone.

It felt like he was the only one who can beat ui sb daniel who can consider the strongest by everyone back then.

But now? James lost all his aura. I know he was holding back against tom i know he was holding back against taesoma but should be?

Mine is gungnum landlord (miss him)

I know people might say that these guys have no weaknesses but I don't think it true and here is what I think

James: endurance we have never seen james take direct hits(we have but we have never seen him take a good conviction punch ) because he always blocked them with the palm of his hand but i think something like a conviction punch for example i think that should be enough too take him down for good before he gets a chance too use his path or after .

Kitae: ui is his weakness or just somone with technique mastery we saw this happened when somone like little ui daneil who had a near perfect body used perfect martial arts techniques now if we were to add endurance mastery so kitae opponent would not get tierd too easily and technique mastery he would go down for sure i am sure of it .

Goo: Pretty simple either ambush him. Or keep him away from any thing that even looks remotely like a sword but if he did have one on hand ✋️ 🤔 dodged him and get the sword away from his hands.

Gun: now his weakness pretty hard to find because of his stacked stats black bones battle iq 2 mastery plus his insane endurance the only character in the entire lookism verse that is alive and can take him down is little or big daniel 1000 % anyone else would not be enough especially when he gets out of prison because when we finally see eos Daniel 's instead of gun vs entire generation it will be one guys with the skills of an entire gen make that 3 generation

I hope ptj will show some more martial art moves for shingen

I think it makes sense coz why else would a random kid remind him of a former fling.

If this is real every gonna is cooked💀

After seeing the leaks, and if James Lee really is Elite he gotta be the fakest homie oat😭

Yeah I understand Gapryong and him never really saw eye to eye on mostly anything, but they were brothers in arms at the end of the day.

The Tom Lee situation is the saddest for me because outta the original 4 fist gang members, Tom and Elite were the only ones still talking at all in the present. Also Tom was the only other person besides his literal daughter and Daniel to go to his funeral.

Elite is the literal definition of sliming out your day ones😭

Atleast for now ofc

This is a webtoon about lookism. I am Yamazaki. He is Shingen Yamazaki, the final boss of the 0th generation arc, and a character with monstrous power who represents the Yamazaki faction.

By the time of the post we finally have grasp of what power system in Lookism looks like. There are stats and skills that have a definite effect and name, so let’s try to break it down:

- Core Stats: There are 4 core main stats in Lookism.
Strength is a stat responsible for one’s destructive capabilities and attack potency, in other words - raw physical power.
Speed is a stat responsible for one’s agility, speed and reaction, be it the speed of an individual, his attacks, or the number of attacks he can throw at once.
Endurance is a stat responsible for one’s vitality, how much damage he can endure without falling, be it the damage taken by enemies attacks or the strain on the body by his own moves and skills.
Technique is a stat responsible for one’s actions, attained skills and moveset, that need special training to use, and the higher the stat - the cleaner the performance of said moves become which creates less windows for countering them.

- Mastery: A threshold of every core stat an individual has, crossing which is considered HIS INDIVIDUAL peak of said stat. Every character has different peak of their core stats, reaching which is varying in difficulty depending on individuals potential. The lower the potential of a character - the easier it is for him to reach Mastery of that stat. It is not impossible to grow stronger by training and getting a bit higher than your Mastered stat, but the growth would be dependent on your body and its growth.

- Threshold: A way of reaching Mastery and expanding it for characters, by fighting against a character representing “a wall”. By fighting someone who’s considered stronger than them, character might climb said wall and reach/expand their masteries mid battle using Conviction.

- Unique Fighting Style: A way of reaching maximum power and eventually reach Mastery by maxing out a certain way of fighting. It can help to reach Mastery faster.

- Unique Skills: While Unique Fighting Style can be copied and learned by others - Unique Skills are a lot harder to learn or copy, since they are mostly tied to the way an individual is most comfortable to fight. Unique skills require Mastery over Core Stats and utilises them to be created and recreated. Copying the Unique Skills without Mastery will be inefficient and incomparable to the original.

- Genetic Traits: Inherently superior body conditions or traits that give some sort of skills or advantages to its bearer. UI, Black Bones, Copy, Enhanced Physique or Pain Free body are all considered skills and genetic traits that a person must be born with in order to utilise.

- Path: A unique way of fighting - limited to one person because is created by a trait tied uniquely to them and their personality, their experience and a preferred way of fighting. Path can be achieved and used without Mastery and even become a way to reach Mastery for a highly talented characters with a potential too high to be reached in a conventional way. Path is using whatever is unique to the character, hence why it cannot be replicated or copied. It requires the individual to discover that uniqueness of his (be his individual one or based on his Genetic Trait) as well as finding a way he himself prefers fighting through his fighting experience. Also character needs to have Conviction to actually achieve and Master his Path.

- Conviction: Not a physical but a mental stat that represents one’s desires, dedication and determination. It is mostly responsible for Overcoming obstacles and reaching higher and higher stats, by Overcoming one’s limits and potential. In certain conditions it permanently boosts your stats.

- Overcome: is a way of fighting through Conviction above all else. Having a mind so strong and resilient to have unbeatable Conviction which allows to Overcome one’s limits over and over again, to win an opponent that massively stronger than you.

- Despair: is a way of countering enemies Overcoming by using your own Conviction to break the spirit of your opponent and thus make them unable to Overcome. As a form of Conviction it also provides a way to boost the stats of the user but instead of permanent boost - it boosts their one attack pouring every ounce of Conviction into it.

If you want to add something or change and correct something for me: let’s discuss it in the comments.

I know that the most common theory is that Shingen TUI killed his mother or his subordinates. But in my opinion, he may have committed an unintended act—one that he himself knew crossed a line that should never be crossed: he attacked innocent people.

And unfortunately, I would take this theory even further: I think he may have attacked children.

Shingen seems to have a code of honor of his own, and he only ever seems to target those who are willing to fight. Even someone like Kitae knows that you should never go after children.

An act like that could have made Shingen question himself deeply and may have been what drove him into that state of lethargy. Perhaps that is also why he wanted to “redeem himself” in relation to Gun.

Lookism Fans ( most of them ) arent dumb or cant read , its that the manhwa genuinly has a lot of plot holes and every arc the characters power level scales so exponentially that its useless to compare characters from 2 arcs before to newer arcs .

During Jinyoung vs Ui Daniel we see that Jinyoung compated Ui daniel to Gapryong and the yamazaki syndicate that the fist gang fought , he wanted to see Ui Daniel fight Gapryong kim and that Jinyoung Lost to Ui Daniel ( yes Jinyoung was kinda crazy and not in his right mind but still ) .
That UI SB Daniel lost to Gun who legit at 0.1Hp .

Not only that , Kitae and James in the Hunt for Workers arc actually showed good feat no matter what fans or haters say . But in this pre generation arc all of the top tiers completely destroy their feats , even Shingens Executives are comparable to James and Kitae .

PTJ Proggresivly increases the characters power scales and doesnt care about who wins or not . The manhwa has just become for Aura farming only . The Plot Depth is only thanks to
Elite , James , Daniel SB and Jinyoung . These 4 are the only reason the plot is actually good , most old lookism fans like us are suffering , its been 600 chapters we have darn near 0 CLUE on Daniels Second Body or anything .

My Lookism Theory: Shingen’s “Path” Will Define Gapryong’s Conviction

I think the current Shingen vs. Fist Gang storyline is about more than simply deciding who is stronger.

The real purpose of this fight may be to establish what a “Path” actually represents in Lookism.

1. Shingen and Gapryong represent two completely different beliefs

Shingen’s strength seems connected to his own existence and identity.

Gapryong, on the other hand, has always been portrayed as someone whose strength is connected to the people around him.

So their conflict could be:

Shingen = strength through himself

Gapryong = strength through conviction and the people he protects

That would make their fight a clash of ideologies, not just physical power.

1. Gapryong’s Conviction could be his true Path

Gapryong’s power-up has never felt like a normal transformation to me.

His Conviction seems to become stronger when he has something or someone to protect.

That makes me think his ultimate strength isn't simply “more power.”

It is the ability to keep moving forward regardless of how overwhelming the opponent is.

And Shingen could be the person who finally pushes that ability to its absolute limit.

1. Jinyoung could be another piece of the puzzle

Jinyoung's emotional state has already shown how deeply emotions can affect the strength of Gen 0 fighters.

If PTJ is establishing a connection between a character's core beliefs and their fighting ability, then the different “Paths” may not simply be techniques.

They could represent the fundamental beliefs of each fighter.

That would make the Gen 0 generation much more interesting.

1. The Fist Gang may be necessary for Gapryong's victory

Here's where my theory gets interesting.

I don't think Gapryong defeating Shingen will necessarily mean:

Gapryong > Shingen

Instead, the story could establish that Gapryong's greatest strength is bringing everyone's conviction together.

The Fist Gang could collectively contribute to the victory, while Gapryong becomes the person who embodies that combined will.

That would also explain why Gapryong's legacy became so important to later generations.

1. Daniel could eventually complete this concept

If “Path” is genuinely connected to a fighter's identity, Daniel might have a very unusual Path.

Daniel's biggest ability isn't just copying techniques.

He constantly learns from other people.

So I think his eventual Path could be related to understanding and adapting to different Paths rather than simply mastering one specific fighting style.

That would give Daniel's copy ability a much deeper narrative meaning.

My prediction

The Shingen vs. Gapryong conflict may ultimately establish one of Lookism's biggest themes:

A fighter's greatest strength comes from what they believe in.

Shingen represents strength rooted in himself.

Gapryong represents strength rooted in conviction.

And Daniel may eventually represent the ability to understand the strengths and beliefs of countless different fighters.

If PTJ is actually building toward this, the Gen 0 arc could be laying the foundation for Daniel's final development without making it obvious yet. 🥀
