The fact that he can fight with us as equals for a while is not so impossible (Even if we exclude Zenos, people like Gaius, Estinien, Ilberd or Raubhan for example can perfectly do). At the end of our first fight, he barely neutralized us for a few seconds with one specific technique, which will never work against us again as efficiently (proving like we have probably learned from our mistake).
At the same time, strength and experience fades over time and Vaulthy would have ensured that Ran'jit would not fight another Sin Eater as long as he was alive. It's a wonder that Ran'jit never gave into the very sloth and vice that he fought for and believed in.
