Like the way they marched back to Londolozi to chase away Matimbas or their take-over of the west. They really remind me more of the Mjejanes. Not that that makes them better or worse.. just an observation.
But agree with all your points above. I think we are privileged to see many successful coalitions, each with their own unique style.
I dont like that "narrative" that Bboys are not conquerers or that they avoid fights or something..
Bboys, just like Majingilanes, had 2 big territory takeovers in their lives, its not BBoys fault that Matimbas decided to run and not fight, its not their fault that Majingilanes and Matshapiris reign around central Sabi Sands was coming to an end at that time, Bboys would conquered that territory regardless because they where 4 prime males at that time..
Also, i dont understand your point that they dont want to fight for territory? Bboys until this year (only 2 and out of prime) didn't lost inch of their territory against their will.. They literally killed prime male who was invading their territory this year, and chased/fought numerous young males from their territory since 2016 (obiviously no males would challenge them for territory when they where 4 and even 3, so they didnt have to fight intruding coalition in those years.)
You mentioned how Majingilanes chased Matimbas (4 vs 2) but you didn't mentioned Nhenha and Tinyo vs 4 Nwaswitshakas? Which is far more impressive feat, and no, Nwaswitshakas where not that young, they where all around 4.5 yrs old (Wide Nose over 5 - 5.5 yrs) then and starting to establishing themselves.
People have that narrative that because Bboys didn't kill males in their territory takeovers, they are not fighters or "vicious" like Majingilanes for example who killed 2 males in their takeovers, which is funny, as they would definitely kill any male if they had a chance to do so, as it is in lions takeovers..
So i disagree, i dont think they are any different then Majingilanes in that regard what you said, both coalitions are one of the greatest in recent years of Sabi Sands.
