they win the fight through having special weapons, trampling over named (however unimportant) characters, it may not be a plot point, but it's not simply a guy calling his gun Sydny.
So far I've seen...
Something like 10 Kages (the strongest people in their village at their peak)
A team of 6-7 people who unilaterally, but through guerilla-style ninja skill, took on every military force on the planet and captured 7 of the nine tailed beasts.
Etc.
I wasn't questioning their 'badassery'. I was simply stating that all of them came from the same two hundred years period. I'd expect to see some guys from 300 years ago, even 500 or a 1000.
sure, I'd think it was stupid if Kabutoro was able to bring back guys he only heard about in legends, but that seems the case anyway.
