Dawg it's always when I can't talk where everyone else decides to.
What would be needed besides the simple logic that if 2 people hit something in unison the target will be hit by the sum of their energies, it's not like Ura and Ibaraki Douji would have used a special attack or something, they literally just raised their clubs and hit Rossweisse's attack together.
It's not just a matter of me not accepting it, it's a site rule.
Grendel's clones were being protected by Ladon's barrier which as we know can only be damaged by beings of CxC's level from Volume 17.
That wouldn't matter if Rossweisse was comparable to Grendel/CxC Issei to begin with.
About Grendel's matter, I understand how you feel, I also had the same feelings when I was making the DxD Scale. But then I realized something, Grendel has always been known for having a toughness and high defenses and Evil Dragons in general are stupidly tenacious, being able to hold their own against the entire Gremory Group is more a merit for Grendel than a demerit for them.
Still doesn't really back anything up.
Will try to check later.
No, they don’t. Ajuka and Sirzechs are above the Heavenly Dragons, as Sirzechs was stated to be able to easily defeat Hades.
Might be misremembering but I thought I recalled seeing a statement somewhere comparing Sirzechs to Ddraig/DxD Issei. Either way, sure, but I considered them in the same general tier despite having large gaps between them.
Hades is on par or slightly above the Heavenly Dragons based on his feats against Vali and Issei.
Ok sure.
No, it was not created for Super Devils.
I disagree.
Definitely not. All showings of Issei and Sairaorg fighting against Maou class opponents involve them being dominated and losing badly.
Only when they're outhaxed.
Erm, i just showed some
Are you agreeing with me? Because you’ve shown Euclid matching Crimson Blaster with a Dragon Shot and stopping Issei’s Solid Impact without his armour.
No, My initial point was that CxC Issei and BxB Euclid were comparable, the scans I showed were of Euclid far beyond his normal strength which in no way discredits my points
Both of which depict a huge difference in strength.
Yeah, because Euclid amped himself lol.
You provided evidence in favor of what I claimed…
i did the opposite but ok.
The strength increase from Boost is gone, not the inherent physical strength of Issei. Diehauser doesn’t nullify kinetic force, it’s just special abilities.
And the armor is a special ability, do you think anyone in the verse can manifest super dragon armor that amps their stats and lets them fly?
He blitzed and dominated Issei without taking him seriously, just as Bedeze did with Sairaorg
Because of their respective hax.
. I’m not sure how you’d interpret those scenes as Ishibumi meaning to portray Issei and Sairaorg at Maou class. They just have zero feats on that level.
Aside from the dozen I've shown you mean?
Moreover, old Strada and Xenovia were shown on that level in volume 19 and harmed CxC Issei, and neither of them are Maou class. If I’m not mistaken, Xenovia only says she can take on a Maou in volume 23 after wearing Issei’s armour.
Xenovia and Strada were way above CxC Issei in Volume 19 and is it directly stated that she needs the armor to fight Maou class opponents?
And because he’s plain weaker, which is why he got badly blitzed and overpowered..
He's not.
I just checked the chapter again and he wasn’t even boasting, actually. He literally acknowledged Sairaorg’s strength but said he was on a different level because he’s often called Maou class.
And Maou class varies between the characters in the class, two characters can be Maou Class and still be 100s to 1000s of times greater than the other. And I interpret it as boasting as Maou Class is definitely an achievement worth bragging about. (regardless of circumstance)
There’s no way Sairaorg was Maou class there.
There is a way, which is the way I've been arguing.
I disagree.
That’s where your mistake is.
1. Kuroka wasn’t ultimate class.
“…It’s no good. I understand best nee-sama’s power. Nee-sama’s power rivals that of an ultimate-class devil. For Buchou and Ise-senpai…Even with the power of a former-Dragon King, I don’t think you can capture my sister who excels in both genjutsu and senjutsu…”
She was overpowered by BxB Issei, who’s compared to high class devils. As a matter of fact, volume 11 confirmed Issei was equivalent to a high tier High class devil.
She wasn't overpowered by BxB Issei, and by the time she started to get serious, Arthur came to retrieve them. And Issei was going to use Boosts against the serious Kuroka. And I'm arguing that Volume 13 BxB Issei (after getting the stronger body) is Ultimate Class, not Volume 11 BxB Issei, so idk what your point is.
2. Issei literally says Kuroka is on par with a high class devil in DX 2, when she fought the salamander.
You're misunderstanding, Kuroka IS a High Class Devil because she became a stray before she could reach a higher rank, but she has the power of an Ultimate Class. Like how Tannin is stuck at Ultimate Class because there're already four Maou despite being Maou Class in strength.
That Kappa, he’s able to fight equally against a High-class Devil, Kuroka!
So Kuroka being ultimate class was either taken out or Koneko was exaggerating, which is not outlandish since she thought Issei and Tannin working together wouldn’t take Kuroka. Lol.
“…It’s no good. I understand best nee-sama’s power. Nee-sama’s power rivals that of an ultimate-class devil. For Buchou and Ise-senpai…Even with the power of a former-Dragon King, I don’t think you can capture my sister who excels in both genjutsu and senjutsu…”
And the latter statement was only made because of her Senjutsu/Genjutsu skill, she'd trick them via illusions with the latter, then attack their souls with the former.
Huh? That shouldn’t be how it works.
But it is.
Narratively, Grendel or CxC at that point were simply not Maou class.
Narratively, Grendel is a later villain and via shonen rules should be stronger than the previous villains if you'd like to argue narrative. And I proved that they were.
He claimed that he was never inferior to Grayfia, which is a definitive lie or him being delusional. His entire statement is bogus.
If the statement was made in Zero, then it's irrelevant as I've explained before.
There are 2 things I want to say.
1) In Dx 4 (Volume 23.5) when Issei CxC and Genshirou BxB clash, that was after Issei used Pseudo DxD to launch the Infinity Blaster that destroyed the battlefield, so Issei wasn't at his full power.
More reasoning for why Saji is weaker that everyone else is arguing. If he's supposedly stronger than Grendel, why would he lose to a weaker version of someone equal to Grendel?
2) As I said I don't consider the Issei CxC and Euclid BxB fight from volume 16 to scale since Euclid held back in it. but I do consider the one from volume 17.
Based.exe
But I want to be sure we're on the same page on this.
Breaking it down by part
-Unlike the previous time, this time EuclidBxB decides not to hold back and releases all his power, Issei CxC feels his power and considers that he is inferior to Sirzechs, Grayfia and HIMSELF (making it clear that he is also inferior to Sirzechs and Grayfia).
This statement doesn't refer to power, but moral inferiority.
……That sure is an amazing amount of demonic-power. If you get hit by that directly, even a High-class Devil will perish. This is him being serious.
Reason 1: He praised Euclid's power.
But, I don’t know why. I think he’s far inferior to Sirzechs-sama and Grayfia-san. Even though he’s showing such amazing power right in front of me.
Reason 2: He doesn't know why he considers Euclid inferior to them and states that it's not for power right after. (If power was the reason Euclis was inferior, he'd say that instead of saying. "I don't know why he's inferior'
……Putting his power aside, his existence itself is too shallow. That’s why I can’t feel this is something great.
Reason 3: "Putting his power aside" Meaning again, power isn't the reason. And states that the reason he's inferior is due to being a shallow person. (His beliefs about devils.)
……Oh well, I’m also shallow myself. Still I guess I’m better than him.
Reason 4: Then when comparing his own shallowness to Euclid's, he states that he's better than Euclid.
-Euclid BxB uses 14 Boost and launches an attack on Issei CxC
-Issei CxC uses Solid Impact Booster, Euclid mocks and says that it cannot stop his attack indicating his superiority over Issei CxC Solid Impact Booster
-Euclid BxB's attack with 14 Boost hits but Issei does not move and takes advantage of Euclid BxB's surprise (14 Boost) to throw a punch that breaks his armor.
-The Euclid BxB emphasizes his superiority over Issei CxC Solid Impact Booster with his fist with 14 Boost and does not understand how that happened, then it is revealed to us that Issei used a Red Wyvern to boost himself.
using current values
CxC: 119.38322164335907995648 Yottatons
CxC Solid Impact Booster: 716.29932986015447973888 Yottatons
CxC Solid Impact Booster with a Red Wyvern: 1.43259865972030895947776 Ronnatons
Euclid BxB with 14 Boost is superior to Solid Impact Booster but inferior to Red Wyvern, so at least 716.29932986015447973888 Yottatons
using a reverse scale we get
Euclid BxB: 43.71944151978481932 Zettatons
if we apply the Scale Mail multiplier the Euclid Base gives us: 166.776434020175244598388671875 Petatons
This puts Euclid BxB above Shalba Ophis's Snake which was comparable to the Original Beelzebub(Old Maou)
and puts Euclib Base above Rias 19 Boost and Kokabiel.
Um, I'm not disagreeing, but could you please format this in a neater way. (With scans)
The numbers crunching shouldn’t take precedence over narrative implications. Granted, I don’t think it’s outlandish for BxB Euclid to be comparable to the old Maou.
However, Grendel or CxC Issei (before Dragon Deification) being Maou class doesn’t have any narrative weight and it’s contradicted by feats that show Issei and Sairaorg being dominated by Maou class devils.
I disagree
Also the statements about BxB Issei being high class is in volume 11. He can only release power above that with Triaina and CxC according to Azazel.
Characters in DxD don't have a stagnant strength.
And Kuroka is explicitly called High class in DX 2, which makes sense since she was weaker than Issei.
Wrong FRA
@MasqueTLDF, I think you should make another thread after we decide on the scaling details in this thread.
Yeah, a class strength blog/thread is definitely necessary.
Indeed, but the problem is that Issei and Sairaorg weren’t stated to be Maou class. They were stated to be Ultimate class and had poor performances against Maou class devils, so I simply can’t see how they can be argued as Maou class.
They were stated to be Ultimate Class and Fought Ultimate Class opponents in Volume 9-11, they're obviously much stronger now.
Their feats and statements place them at Ultimate class.
I disagree.
At this point it's worth remembering that we have the Old Maou, the New Maou and Above Maou Class/Non-Combatant Gods.
I don't think it's implausible that Grendel and those who scale to him are above the Old Maou but they are definitely below the New Maou.
I definitely think that Grendel is weaker than someone like Serafall, but not by a significant amount. (100-1000x) And differentiating old from new maou is definitely important considering inexperienced, teenage new maou were already stronger than the old maou by a significant amount, and they've only gotten stronger over the centuries.
Anyway, if you guys'd like, we can halt this thread here, discuss the scaling of the different classes together in the GDT, and return once we agree? I think that'd be for the best. (+ the arguing is kinda cringe, I want yes men lol)
