Unless I am reading it wrong, why would Happy Chaos be...'afraid' of Baiken? He doesn't look like someone with a lot of lose.
What few people know is, Japanese Heritage survivors have an innate connection to ancient Spiritual powers and by extension the Backyard... This all connects to "Ancient Martial Arts" which I referred to earlier.
Figure, if Nagoriyuki's sword could actually HURT someone like Sol Badguy, and Happy Chaos could replicate that in the form of bullets... imagine how that sort of power could be harnessed against Happy Chaos himself?
It was actually Justice who pointed out how "dangerous" the people of Japanese decent actually are, believe it or not... in fact it was Justice' early encounters with May and Baiken that first revealed this fact back during the Tournament of 2180.
Japanese Bloodlines carry a connection to Spiritual powers which in turn influence Backyard Residents or those who have "had" their bodies transformed by the Backyard (like Happy Chaos himself).
Even Ramlethal, with her massive RATTLE katanas could potentially pose a threat to Happy Chaos... in fact one of his lines is:
"This is why I HATE Katanas!"
Because Katanas were forged with holy ritual methods and blessed by deities, which means they don't simply cut on a physical level but sever beings on a SUPERNATURAL LEVEL.
Even Kum Haehyun's TUNING ability is deeply connected with these spiritual powers that Japanese people have practiced over hundreds if not thousands of years (even Jam Kuradoberi's Kenpou could be considered a ritualistic purification method).
In some capacity this also relates to the OutRage which Slayer carried... a Dagger that could potentially SEVER Gear Cells... in fact Most OutRage Instroment technology is BASED on sealing spiritual powers inside the technology... (e.g. "Fireseal" and "Thunderseal").
So yes, Baiken is actually one of Happy Chaos' WORST matchups, believe it or not... she could generate Ki and use a purified sword strike and literally KILL someone like Happy Chaos on the spot!
This is also why Chipp Zanuff informally referred to Chaos as a "demon"... because of his connection to the Backyard, but also because he could likely be slain like any other demon or spiritual entity.
How VERY fitting that the very tribe of people that Happy Chaos sought to wipe out would turn out to be his ultimate weakness...
Or perhaps it was for that very reason...? I'm sure he doesn't want us to come to any conclusions on THIS TOPIC in particular!
