We don't know how hashiras are ranked, but it would make total sense that they aren't all equal or even in the same power category. It just so happens there is no rank above hashira except for the leprosy leader.
shinta, but it felt like shit. That's the issue. You can try to explain things away all you want. What we saw wasn't exciting. It was disappointing.
