"I'm not fond of conflict."
Uh-huh. Sure. 😏
Thats not a conflict, THAT is reveling in a Massacre.
Unfortunately, you're using real world logic. You're in a manga.
even then, without hormone therapy, the gap isnt really that wide. its insurmountable at the competitive level, but athletes competing is different from warriors/soldiers fighting, Warriors/Soldiers physiologically cannot output their peak physicality due to how the brain handles prioritization when you surpass a heartrate of 120.
but like, outside of powerlifting, you do that hormone therapy, and the gap disappears
