Oh I never meant that he would be able to beat a high ranker before being a ranker. Karaka isn’t a high ranker as of now and floor 97 is still a long way away. I do see baam disappearing to go through “training from Hell” (probably right after floor 43 and then again around floor 80) while the story will then focus on the rest of the group. Urek on the other hand never needed to waste time on training since he was a beast to begin with and marched his way up to catch phantanium.

Baam should be able to survive 10 minutes against Arie Hon (not beat/kill) by the 100th floor (if he takes the test, but not in his nature as of now to challenge him) with thorn, training, and fluid martial arts, but it would be a much different fight than when urek vs him. Baam would be similar to Ran in which he uses lots of techniques to defend against him while Urek was similar to anak who used brute force and attacked.

I wouldn’t worry too much about god-mode sue because there will always be stronger opponents that he will be vs in between 100 and 134 since so many high level people took an interest in him.
