Yep. Thor starts off relative to Escanor in stats but he has the skill to make half a dozen of the best martial artists on earth look like complete noobs with his bare hands, being even more skilled with Mjolnir and thus Stormbreaker. He also has a thousand or so years of experience spent fighting alien monsters of all kinds including Surtur who spams fire as much as Escanor but is comparable to Thor in both skill as well as stats. Only took Thor a few minutes to beat him up.
As far as I remember (and I'm probably wrong since I've only watched the NNT anime), Escanor's strength very rapidly increases when it approaches noon. Off the top of my head, Merlin, after detecting Escanor, was commenting on how his Power Level was quickly rising - I believe going up by thousands per statement she made. The timeframe for this was only a few seconds, so take that as you will.
Even starting from when an agent physically stronger than him has him in a chokehold, it takes him 20 seconds to lay him out flat.
Thor was able to withstand the temperature of a neutron star which clocks in at 1 million kelvin.
It was, yeah. I don't quite think it was Mid-Morning Escanor in that scene, but the fact of the matter still stands that his Power Level rises dramatically fast when the time approaches noon.
It’s not mentioned in his last P&A tab since he already has that stuff in his second tab from Malekith’s dark matter storm so it doesn’t bother mentioning the Neutron Star.
Because the feat hadn’t happened to the version that tab is for? The Neutron Star hitting him with stuff he already has resistances for doesn’t mean he is required to have them added to the justification when the tab the feat happens to already says “all previous abilities”
We don’t need the movie to state the temperature to us or else we’d need SDS to tell us the melting temp of steel, durability of rock etc. If the stuff exists irl, we assume it functions the same in the media unless stated or shown otherwise.
Now makes sense
Not really a skill feat. It's just Escanor dodging Ludo's attacks. That's more speed than skill.
Oh, is catching swords not a skill?
No? I don't see why that would be skill over speed. Is catching someone's punches also a skill feat now?
Pretty sure Estarossa hit Escanor and caused blood to fly from his mouth in addition to a bunch of bruises. A punch brought him to his knees but Estarossa was fine seconds after, then he took a Cruel Sun to the face followed up with Pride Flare and was still in fighting condition despite each attack being stronger than the last. Escanor may upscale but he isn’t ridiculously stronger than Estarossa.
Context-twisting much? Escanor was amped by the pseudo-sun and the power stored up by Rhitta in that scene. Put 2 and 2 together, and he gains a power that rivals Estarossa according to Gloxinia. His Mid-Morning state is not "far [and] away above" that moment. Is he stronger? Probably, yeah.
Isn't it just twice the strength? Even Estarossa's profile says that it's double the strength, not several times. But AnonymousBlank is correct; Estarossa could slightly harm Escanor a few times even without the power of Full Counter.
I think he was referring to Estarossa using FC a few times on Escanor rather than amping the reflected attack several times over. Makes more sense to me given it was used 2 or 3 times iirc.
Could just be me misinterpreting since it seems like English ain't their first language, and if that's the case, then I'm sorry @Aether_
Thor fought some of the best trained men on Earth, 1v1 and 1v2, and beat each of them in seconds. Even someone bigger, stronger and heavier than him got beat in 20 secs despite starting off the fight with Thor in a chokehold.
How strong are these trainer men?
They were peak human like Thor was at the time.
