In general, Kaneki is too agile to lose so easily to Optimus. He can maneuver around the enemy, simultaneously attacking him from under the ground with sharp tentacles, which, like games, can go through a gap in the Autobot's armor to weaken his limbs.

Scale scales up to 131 thousand tons, while the LS of Optimus scales up to 12 thousand tons. Thus, having a 10-fold advantage, Kaneki can simply tie the opponent's hands and feet in order to deliver the final blow later.
Um, this is an 8-B tournament. Thousands of tons is massively above the limit for this tourney.

I have no idea what you're talking right now lol.

SO MY LIFTING STRENGTH ARGUMENT WAS SEMI-RIGHT-ISH!?

In fact, I do not know where 5 people on Optimus came from. I suggest calling them here to read the latest messages about the victory scenario to confirm their choice.

Him being agile doesn't change the fact that prime can one tap him, he's not avoiding getting hit at least once. What's kaneki's fighting style BTW?

And does he grapple in character? And Grappling could be suicide since kaneki's basically giving optimus the chance to one tap him since if he grapples they would be in close range, which optimus can take advantage of and one tap kaneki

Nah, You guys are hating on a haxless character by winning due to AP, What yall want prime to do? Win via hax?
1. They're mostly jokes, with some exceptions.

2. Optimus Mickey Mouse'd his way to the semifinals. He faced no one with comparable AP, and he faced no one with powerful enough hax to put up a fight.

1. yeayeah I'm joking as well

2. If he fought someone with comparable AP and some decent hax then he auto loses, since AP is the only thing he's got going for him

All of the characters he has faced so far are <34 tons, which was followed by the massive scaling chain for Optimus. None of the characters he faced stood a chance.

oneshoted needs a difference of 7.5 times. Both characters have long chains, the basic positions of which differ by 2 times.
Maybe you didn't see the message I sent, but there I explained why the Kaneki hook is not invalid, so the characters don't have such a huge gap.
And learning that Optimus is a pure AP without hax, and his opponent has much better maneuverability, higher LS and hax, then this turns into a battle for recognition.

If a character one shots a 34 ton character in their verse, then they can one shot someone who's 34 tons here without having to be 238 tons. As optimus one shotted someone who can stomp groups of 34 tonners, he'd be able to one shot kaneki no problem. LS Is suicide for kaneki, and no I didn't disregard your scaling chain, but even with that optimus can still one shot. He is agile but he's not preventing optimus from hitting him once. and what other hax can kaneki use here? His most prevalent haxes, RPL and Regen has already been brought up

To oneshoted an opponent needs a 7.5x AP advantage. This is by the standards of this wiki and only applies to combat, not character scaling. Even if the Optimus were 80 tonnes it would not give him the option of a oneshoted Kaneki.
Moreover, he can survive after 1 attack, recover and level the score with the help of reactive evolution.
Kaneki can make decisive direct attacks when the opponent overpowers him. It was in the battle with Arima, when he distracted him and attacked from the blind spot, delivering a victorious blow, although before that he had only been defeated.

I'll answer everything else in the morning. Now I have 3 nights and I want to sleep. Goodnight.

Oh for fuck's sake, that's not how we treat In-Universe One-Shots. We only do that for characters that don't have Scaling Chains to rely on when the AP Gap is that big which is not what's happening here. Optimus is unquantifiably stronger than Ironhide who is on par with Base Starscream who One-Shot Blackout who casually shits on groups of 34 Ton Drones at the same time. There is such a thing as different Upscaling rules for each verse, it's not all uniform with all the others.

We don't make someone 7x stronger than somebody they one shotted in their own verse, a character who can one shot a 34 tons character can also one shot a 34 tons character here without having to be 7x stronger, we can QnA this if you want, Also how is he surviving an attack? the gap is way too big and low-mid ain't covering it. And prime can simply barrage him with attacks. And are those said opponents capable of one shotting kaneki?

To be incomparably stronger than the one who oneshoted the one who stomps 34 tons is already beyond 8-B

I don't understand why this applies to Optimus, but does not apply to Kaneki, which also has a long chain? His chain also excludes the possibility of being killed by touch.

It does. The issue is that Kaneki’s chain starts at a number half that of the number that is shitstomped by guys that get shitstomped by Optimus.

If X has a chain of a dozen stomps ending with Y = 10 megaton, and A breathes and kills B who in turn bullies an army of C = 20 megaton each, A is stronger as you cannot quantifiably prove what number X is. This isn’t even them starting off at the same number and one has a longer chain. This is their base numbers having a considerable difference and then a comparable scaling chain of one shots one shots and stomps. Even if we were to attribute the x7.5 one shot figure for one shots to their scaling chains, Optimus would still come out on top with a bigger number.
