This fight is incredibly close, and whoever wins does it with Extreme Difficulty. Let's get to the facts.
Asa objectively dogwalks Public Safety Devil Hunters. The only Devil Hunters that could survive a confrontation with Asa are ones with Intangibility (Prinz, Beam) or ones with extraordinarily defensive abilities (Santa Claus). Everyone else dies with very little difficulty on Asa's end.
Makima's ability to Teleport on any place on Earth is a great advantage (Interdimensional Range). Asa can't do anything to Makima without Makima taking the initiative to approach Asa herself, period. If Makima wills it, Asa wouldn't see her even in his last moments, if he ever does die. At 500 Meters, Makima ****s right on off to the
Freedom Tower and tries to TK crush Asa
The most critical part of this battle is the interaction between Asa and Makima when she uses Clairvoyance. In all instances of this fight, it will almost always end up being a race to Momo's body. Because of Clairvoyance, Makima can read Asa's mind, going through his memories and learning things such as his name, information on Blooming, the Behemoth, and Momo Yozakura. However, Asa, because of his own Telepathy, will be alerted to the fact that Makima is reading his mind and eject her out. Whatever information Makima could gleam in that time is a deciding factor whether she can defeat Asa or not. She could learn something that is completely useless like Asa's tendency to give people food, or learn something essentially game-changing like knowing Momo Yozakura is enabling Asa's Type 8 Immortality and the location of Momo Yozakura. She could also learn smaller tidbits of stuff, like what Blooming is and who Taiyo is.
Between Asa knowing that Makima knows his Type 8 Immortality, and Makima knowing that Asa knows that, it's a matter of "can the Public Safety Devil Hunters and Makima destroy Momo's body?"
This is not easy to answer. Makima may not know Momo's name to perform her Death Ritual. Maybe she could from her Clairvoyance, but she would be trading off other information to do so. Makima can't have all of her cakes and eat it. She can't know Momo's name, his location, where the Behemoth is, about all of Asa's Bloomings, and his abilities, AND that Dreams can work on anyone who enters the Behemoth, all in one sitting, because Asa would eject her from his mind at top-speed. Makima would have to rely on sending her minions to the Behemoth, but then again, characters with Intangibility like Beam can simply get mogged because none of them know what Abeyance is and that it's Thought-based.
There is also a chance for Makima to get instantly mogged by Abeyance or Dreams if she enters the Behemoth herself, but Makima rarely walks into a location completely blind. But it can happen if she's confident that a airship couldn't possibly pose a mortal threat.
Meanwhile, Asa would basically be playing real life Doom Slayer with how many people he has to mow down. How Asa manages his stamina and how long he can stay diligent for is something that should be discussed, because even stomping on ants can be tiring if you've been at it for hours.
I think this is a solid Inconclusive match. Asa has win conditions in using Abeyance or Dreams on Makima, with Abeyance being a guaranteed victory anytime Asa sees Makima. Makima has win conditions in destroying Momo's body and then tiring out Asa by throwing fodder at him, BFR'ing (this is available at any time), or Haxing him out with Devil Contracts.
To be honest you don't need to alter Makima's mindset since Chizakura blood gives him strong mental resistances already but I digress
I really only did it to stop people from skimming through Asa's Profile, seeing no Mind Manipulation Res, and going "Conquest GGs"
What must be gotten out of the way is how does Makima and her public safety devil hunters defend against Abeyance? Since this is Asa's opening move in every circumstance and he really likes spamming this. Speed is equalized sure, but Asa can just look at them and have it grow on her and even if he just shoots it out from his feet its got Kilometers of range. So even if Makima evades it, I really doubt her minions can.
Makima would teleport them to Asa's location using her Portal Creation flesh halos. If you looked at the Controlled Abilities section, you would see that they have many Hax abilities that could be Victories
if they hit. A big if, because Asa is going to be decimating them with Bone Danmaku or Abeyance, like you said. Really, they'd just throw themselves at Asa until Makima tells them to do something else.
How fast is Abeyance? Does it clear Kilometers of Range instantly, or does it spread to that distance overtime? Does it spawn on someone at a Kilometer's range?
Unless its fine for me to say raw AP would allow a cherry blossom fang explosion to destroy Makima down to a molecular level so she doesn't come back but that idk.
iirc, that would require like billions of AP above a person's dura to even do. I can look somewhere to see if destroying Makima down to a molecular level is possible for Asa, but most likely not.
nother option could be using pierce and simply
leaving the bone spikes stuck in, Makima doesn't have the LS or the AP to get out of that I think. Even though It will not kill.
In this situation, Makima would use any of her various methods of teleportation to get out, but Makima wouldn't be near Asa for him to do this, assuming that 500 meters is ample time and far enough for Makima to lengthen the starting distance without Asa instantly mogging her with Abeyance.
Idk if Dreams would be enough to entirely brainwash Makima, if it is I guess it'd be smart for Asa to lure the battle into the ship, likely even grab Makima and teleport inside and let Momo's hax send her to dream land or whatever.
Maybe. The Behemoth has Momo, and even one guy of hundreds of Devil Hunters happening upon him and, assuming that Makima tells everyone to destroy Momo when they see him, would cut off Asa's Type 8 Immo.
Coming back to Makima's minions though, Asa really is likely to annihilate them with Void or Abeyance. If he really gets annoyed. Drops his 7-B+ meteor on the battle field to get rid of all of them. Which could reduce it back to a 1 on 1.
The meteor wouldn't be effective in destroying
all of Public Safety. Portal Creation could help any number of Devil Hunters escape, and then it's right back to fighting some more. Though, the meteor would obliterate a good portion of fodder and perhaps even characters like Reze, Quanxi, Angel, or Pingtsi (not that they even matter at all lol)
