The only reason he is overwhelmed in this fight is explicitly because he is fighting desperately due to the desire to save Zeldris. He is not fighting correctly, this I literally addressed in the blog and a few posts above, all while holding back. That is the only reason, and it is said by both Meliodas and the DK many times throughout the fight.
Again that is LITERALLY not the only reason why he was getting Overwhelmed, whilst holding back to not and try to Kill Zeldris, He still needed to Defend the likes of Elizabeth, Merlin ETC and got blow by easily by Prime Demon King, alongside King and Ban. In his 1v1 he GOT OVERPOWERED TO THE POINT ELIZABETH had to tell him to reasses the situation as he was not in a winning state. I have repeatedly said this and you’ve chose to ignore this and keep pushing on your point in which I have addressed.
Actually, i could even argue that Base Meliodas or Demon Mark Meliodas isn’t even holding back to the degree you are insinuating.
The Only thing Meliodas was holding back was his Demon King Powers(which is his true magic form) insinuating that he restricted himself from using said power by fighting in Base and Demon Mark, not even holding back in general, which is supported by the fact that the statement was made whilst he was fighting in Base.
Your arguments have been weak and addressed on multiple occasions while I’ve brought up countless arguments you’ve failed to address don’t ever call my arguments weak when you willingly chose to ignore them
- First an EVIDENT contradiction, you establish that the other sins are not doing any harm to the Demon King. When
in this same scan, we see King doing more damage to him than Escanor's fists.
- Plus the "
Notable Slash" doesn't do any harm.
- Plus "being the first to damage the DK's prime" isn't even a great feat, they had literally been fighting for a chapter!!! And all of the above was Meliodas restrained and desperate to save his brother.
-
Escanor takes the most damage of all here. Meliodas is barely damaged in the whole fight, Ban and King barely take major surface damage, while
he received deeper cuts, just a few pages after the scan you posted. The only state where he takes a similar level of damage to the rest of the sins,
is in The One.
1. Holy strawman, Not once did I establish are not doing any harm, when I linked that scan I mentioned it as drawing blood from the Demon King and even before that I verbatim said
Stop putting words in my mouth.
2. Literally check the second image I linked it’s not that hard to spot the slash line on the Demon King’s body stop playing ignorant
3. “Plus "being the first to damage the DK's prime" isn't even a great feat, they had literally been fighting for a chapter!!!”
Do you know how terribly this works against your argument right? For A WHOLE chapter they didn’t make Prime Demon King to drop a single drop of Blood, they couldn’t easily stop the Demon King’s swings even after fighting for a chapter? So with your logic Escanor showing up and Doing all the things the Trio failed to do in less than 5 panels should be noteworthy.This is embarrassing argumentation.

First of all, they’re mostly from the wounds he sustained previously as show my the literal cut marks on his chest, the only new injuries are the one on his head, consistent with the others.
Of course he’s getting deep cuts when he’s taking Prison Gate Sabre Head on whilst the others didn’t which is in character for Escanor.
And in fact I even stated that his durability is lower due to it being a weaker version of Escanor. But most importantly arguing durability is useless in an AP discussion.
Your entire argument have been sad pack it up.
