Talk:Inuyasha vs. Ranma Saotome/@comment-28876270-20170512223402/@comment-2168633-20180205193416

Inuyasha is never shown to to actually have any confirmed real physical strenght. We simply don't know how much his sword weight and/or if his attacks are mainly due to his demic nature or not. Likewise Ranma is a lot faster than him. In the end Inuyasha is like a souped up Ryouga carrying a sword. He has never really shown any real intelligence and only wins because of his durability and ability to pull a new power out whenever he is in real trouble.

The real issue with a death match like this is that Ranma doesn't have a killing intent, and unless Inuyasha was in ragemode or Ranma was evil, he wouldn't have tried to kill Ranma either. Thus if neither of them have a killing intent, the match could not get finished. If Ranma knocked Inuyasha out, he wouldn't kill him when he was unconscious and the same with Inuyasha. Also if Inuyasha was in ragemode, while more powerful, he would just be a berserk and be even easier to defeat by Ranma.

The raging toger bullet aren't fire, it is unclear exactly what they are but the manga seem to suggest that they are air being pushed by Ranma's confidence. Most of Ranma's more lethal  tehcniques seem to be based around an airtheme.
