Some of my imgur, cdn and other links also died in the last day. Then my internet went out.
It feels like history just repeats itself every time I try to post a 7DS thread.
Not using a particular form =/= holding back in other forms at completely illogical times.
By this logic, 2nd Mark Meliodas was holding back against Demon King.
He used it because of Escanor, who was literally on the verge of dying due to the damaging effects of Sunshine and
burning up his life, and because of Demon King's
weird summon.
Unless Trillion Dark just wouldn't have been as effective as the actual attacks he used against Supreme Deity.
He also didn't use Darkness blades, God Ripper, God Eater, Counter Vanish, or a whole host of potentially useful moves/combos against her, so this makes no sense.
I didn't ask you to reaffirm your beliefs, I asked you to provide evidence for why you believe that 2nd Mark = DK.
I can't even understand what your argument is, sorry. It also doesn't really seem to address my other counters, like Mael himself admitting his attacks wouldn't work (
even thinking it's impossible that Demon King's attack worked on him), or Zeldris outright showing that he can block attacks from characters stronger than Mael.
Then you're referring to something that didn't happen, because what Mael actually did was take advantage of a distraction to
plaster Zeldris with Ark blades until he fell over. And even then Zeldris took minimal damage, despite light magic being a Demonic weakness.
In fact, I really don't even get why this a point at all. Are we just going to say that BoS Ban is stronger than Sealed Meliodas because he could send him flying / push him over during Vaizel? Pushing someone over does not indicate that they don't scale.
