Doesn’t « fall short » means he’s like way weaker ?
No. It just means it doesn't reach the same level.
His chest was pierced still in the first place He disappeared after
It doesn't matter if what he pierced wasn't actually a totally solid Arthur.
Cause he disappeared leaving nothing behind no blood nothing
That makes absolutely no sense.
If he was still there and solid when the punch happened, disappearing after that wouldn't just make the blood on someone's hand before even disappearing go away. There'd still be blood on Lance's hand at some point, but we can see there's not.
Pulled his ass and stomped him throughout the whole fight
Again, by mind reading and using hax.
Your arguments are getting awfully circular.
Him conversing doesn’t change shit about how chocked He was
It absolutely does, what it doesn't change is the fact that he was using the super form for this instance, so what you're saying still doesn't matter.
He still knew the nature of the attack etc…
This is just a cop-out. I don't even think I have to address it.
It's like saying Gohan knows the nature of a Kamehameha, so he should know Cell's full power even when he's suppressing himself.
Meliodas worrying about Arthur after the Shining Road attack pretty clearly confirms he doesn’t want him to get harmed too much
I thought you meant after the punch. I'm not denying that Shining Road would've ****** him up, I'm just saying that nothing suggests it's equal to his physical strength in that instance.
Hell, even if we say you're right that Lance did damage him beforehand, there is an
enormous difference between giving Arthur a bloody nose and one-shotting him. So Shining Road would still be far superior to Lance physically (as I have it on the planned profiles).
