Yuri's nuclear punch

[M3 gnarkill]

I recently watched a video talking about overpowered abilities and in the video Yuri's nuclear punch was listed as the number 1 most OP ability up to the middle of the hell train arc when it was first used.

The reasoning behind why it was rated #1 is because the nuclear punch is literally punching with the power of a nuclear bomb. My question to y'all is would you have this ability at #1 and was it stated that the punch was the power of a nuclear bomb?

If not this ability, which ability would you have as the most OP ability up till the middle of the 2nd season?

I don't see what is so OP about this. I don't think nuclear bombs would be very threatening in TOG anyway and no it wasn't stated. The strongest attack would have to be Urek's Scorching Fist of Death. He wasn't serious when he used it but it can't be a technique inferior to Yuri's punch.

It is kinda hard to say which abilities are more OP since we don't often see characters at the same level fighting each others. Plus some support abilities are pretty good without being offensive.

The Floral Butterfly technique in general I guess, especially the Dragon Tiger Gate one from Jinsung. He was outclassed by Kallavan but almost won thanks to this.

Shinwonryu is great because it counters your opponents' attacks. Also Arie Swordsmanship is OP in general.

I agree with every single thing you stated. Thats why I figured I would pose the question to this forum.

Dont remember anything about nuclear bomb level punches being stated. Plus, Yuri has other moves like the red velvet sword with more attack potency than the nuclear punch.

There is a certain group of tog youtubers who constantly put out misinformation and its infuriating.

TBH I don't think the shinsoo hadoken is even among yuri's stronger techniques, let alone it being absurdly OP. When yuri wants to deal meaningful punishment so far she has relied either on her bare fists, quadrado's needle or her rose shower attack. There are lots of thing which determine how powerful an attack is... shinsoo control, shinsoo availability, technique level, skill level, physical strength, genetics, contracts... We have seen specially through the floral butterfly technique that you can attain increasingly powerful versions of it. So far characters stronger attacks have been refered to as transcendental though its unclear whether this is a classification applying to everyone equally or just characters screaming their strongest attacks at a time. In any case, nothing we know of the shinsoo hadoken points to it being particularly particularly high in the pecking order. The described article or video sounds more like clickbait than anything else.

Also, the hell train is season 3. Middle of season 2 would be the workshop battle... Anyways, middle of season 3 stronger techniques... If its near when yuri used the shinsoo hadoken I would argue either yuri's rose shower (obliterated karaka) or perhaps quadrado's needle (huge nuke). Going a tad forward, literally anything urek did.
