As Exar Kun stands defenseless, guardian creatures leap down from the tombs.. they exist only to serve their long-dead master's purpose. Kun is not prepared to face further tests!The creature's teeth at his throat, Kun attempts to retrieve his weapon with the force.. but the light side is mysteriously blocked. Exar Kun has only one option.
He's taken that option before.. and each time he has taken it more easily, with more confidence... he takes it now-- --the power of anger! A river of rage flows unimpeded through Exar Kun, and he easily demolishes the tomb guardians.

Count the Tuk'ata on the statues to the left, fourteen, the row to the right would have the same number, they're supposed to appear as if part of the statues themselves. That indicates at least 28, but there may well have been more.

So Freedon Nadd is blocking his connection to the light side of the Force, he's reduced to straight up anger. Damn impressive feat.
Fair, although it seems he was drawing on the dark side to accomplish that feat, the prievous instances in which he does it's indicated Nadd was actually fuelling his power, and he's on a nexus to boot. So I'd hardly say he was hindered...
More importantly though Tukata seem a pretty shitty measuring stick when they are readily presented as fodder in other sources i.e PoD, SWTOR, KOTOR, and Anakin's fight with one predates the Clone Wars by a year so meh.

Also take into consideration that the Jedi Quest series (where Anakin fights the Tukata) tends to present characters less then they are. In Jedi Quest 2, which takes place 5 years after TPM, Obi-Wan with the aid of 3 other renowned Jedi have apparently some trouble with a dozen battle droids so that kind of falls in line with the Tukata being a major threat to the same (but more experienced) Jedi group.
Yeah, fodder are relative to the writer, and situation - they aren't written equal, especially across era. In some sources we have Yuuzhan Vong Warriors being stomped by slight above average NJO Jedi, and others, we have Luke Skywalker, having trouble plowing through a Vong Warrior of the same caste and rank as the above average Jedi.
Now are we going to try to use that showing to hype up that slightly above average Jedi? KEK.
Well Null can react almost as fast as thought, he was wrecking Tott, Cay and an earlier Ulic, better yet he has the combative memory imprint and knowledge of Sith like Freedon Nadd and King Adas. Ulic legit blitzed him, despite Null being prepared and having five Krath to slow Ulic down, as well as a suppressive wall of darkness hindering Ulic on top of the dark side nexus itself.
Kun is stated to have 'greater' potential than Ulic as of this feat, according to Nadd.
That is basically blitzing the love-child of Durge and Savage on Vjun, which may well be better than driving back Dooku due to strength.
I can see it going either way though.
I was talking about Null, Ezra has moved faster than thought. Nor does generating blurs = a blitz, everyone can generate blurs, it's called movement.
And Cay seemed pretty optimistic, maybe we're reading a different comic. Regardless that still doesn't prove he wrecked anyone, despite them being on a DS nexus.
