Why is James and Gun such a big debate?

Isn’t it obvious with narrative cues that PTJ is setting James and people like Gitae to be bigger threats that are stronger than Gun? Honestly if you didn’t let your headcanons overcomplicate things, how do people not see this just like any other fighting action manhwa? Here come the hardcore gun fans or people with zero reading comprehension. I also like both characters equally but again, it’s a fighting manhwa and the narrative cues are kinda obvious. Am I the only one that thinks this way in this sub?
