Because they're Demon level or lower. Even among the Cadre's it could be argued that he's one of the stronger ones.
I fail to see how it can be argued. He couldn’t kill someone who downscales massively from Dragon level. He’s durable, sure, but his attack potency is very underwhelming. Like massively.
What about it?
"still weak enough to be harmed (his blade traversed through his entire body) a demon level threat." Uh what? Are you talking about Unihorn? That thing never hurt Garou at all. Actually, even when it was boosted by two other Demon level threats in a super attack Garou casually deflected it to Rover.
Rover literally obliterated 3 Demon level Monster's in one blast and was unphased by Garou's attacks who could one-shot Royal Ripper.
I’m referring to
this. It literally pierced through his entire body, even after coming back from a near death experience which Gyro considered to make Garou massively more powerful.
Rover one shotted 3 fodder demon levels, and him being durable enough to take Garou’s punches doesn’t mean much when we are having a talk based on the strength ranking of him.
Again, Garou was still around demon level and Rover wasn’t powerful enough to one shot him, with a charged blast point blank range.
He is not "barely" above Demon level, Demon level Monster's are fodder to Rover.
Unfortunately he is, incapable of one shotting demon level fighters make him barely above demon level. That’s just the sad truth.
EC is mostly focused on durability and environmental destruction, not AP. It was stated by Murata that Post-Superfight Genos would only be able to harm Senior Centipede with his upgraded attacks, meaning that Post-Superfight Genos' normal attacks would do nothing to it. So Metal Bat one-shotted and completely destroyed a Monster which can tank High-Demon level attacks without suffering damage. Even with that much power, Metal Bat's attacks did utterly nothing to EC's carapace, and he was more like an annoying bug to him. Orochi also seems to imply that Gouketsu and EC are likely of the same level, whereas Genos believes EC is even stronger than Gouketsu despite believing Gouketsu would require a team-up of all the S-Class and Saitama, and also believes that Gouketsu is vastly superior to Carnage Kabuto.
High demon level? Is that something classified in series or some head canon ranking created by the fandom? “High demon” is nothing but a fan made classification and means nothing when scaling the series.
Genos being incapable of harming a demon level without big attacks does nothing but support my argument of EC’s AP being pretty fodder.
This does nothing but downgrades a base genos to demon level, upscales MB (sure) but also upscales Garou. Who even atp, wasn’t even the strongest demon.
I fail to see what you’re trying to prove.
Orochi never implies they’re on the same level, nor does Genos state EC is stronger than Gouketsu.
Gouketsu isn’t even stated to be massively stronger than KC. Genos says “he’s probably the strongest monster i have faced” meaning based on the power of the punch he took, he can’t even tell if he’s the strongest monster he has fought.
The punch he took from Gouketsu couldn’t even destroy his body to an extent greater than the cockroach was doing.
Demon level punch.
Gouketsu is only deemed so high by genos because he gave off a limitless aura similar to Saitama. That’s why he compares the two, not because of the punch he took.
Genos was just shocked because this was the second person he has met that gave off an infinite like power.
Gouketsu being physically powerful has nothing to do with with EC AP scaling, as the two don’t scale to each other.
Yet she confidently believes he can defeat EC in-spite of her lack of knowledge on his full arsenal. Which means that, based on the limited information she does have, Metal Knight already seems impressive enough to warrant that theory.
Aside from him building the very durable HA headquarters and rebuilding A-City in a matter of days with massive robots that can casually overpower TTM (High-Demon level) but aren't even meant for combat.
They mentioned that the HA base only tanked it specifically because it was built by MK.
It was implied that the missiles would have killed a majority of the S-Class present if not for Tatsumaki.
The power of the explosion produced by his missile test on the meteor was small town level or town level.
It's Demon level territory, but my point wasn't the power itself. It's the fact that he did that with an experimental weapons test using a basic drone that he has an army of.
Idk what your definition of "help out" is here, but considering that A-Class Heroes were considered helpful, saying he'd be useless is very disingenuous. Unless you think Spring Mustachio and Iaian are stronger than Metal Knight.
They know nothing of MK besides of what he has shown, and she’s clearly basing her scaling based off of the assumption his full arsenal should be even more powerful. And iirc she doesn’t even state he could defeat EC, only that he posed a “threat” or could contend with EC.
If MK is developing new and more power weapons and his newest development was town level that should say something about his AP. Based on current feats and showings he’s not that powerful.
He has durable material? Cool now what does that have to do with his AP.
Pretty sure the calc of the armor was small city level.
They only assumed the missile barrage would kill the S class, plus that was a concentrated blast, it would have all hit at a center point with it’s energy being maximized which is country level iirc.
TTM isn’t very powerful.
Im not arguing EC isn’t durable, im saying his AP ******* sucks.
And for the most part i do think Iaian and Spring Mustachio scale above some of the S class and are stronger than MK.
