Akame vs Nero, since people who voted for the former completely ignored Nero's immense AP advantage, way better versatility and the fact that he can just block Murasame with Devil Bringer.
Bump.
Also, IMO it looks quite lazy, so I'll try to elaborate the reasons
Most of the peope who voted for Akame were saying that she's a better combatant than Nero. But the thing is that the former was being ragdolled in her fight with Esdeath, while the latter managed to catch Dante off guard
twice. Both Dante and Esdeath were hardly serious in their respective fights, and we all know that Dante is way stronger than said general. So it's not too farfetched to assume that Akame's superior experience won't matter against Nero. Btw, about him...
Everyone in the thread immediately jumped into assumptions, like Nero trying to snatch Akame right off the bat and poison spreading through Devil Bringer, which he uses as a shield
only when he's unarmed/has no time to get out a sword (first fight with Dante, being caught off guard by Credo). I don't wanna sound too arrogant, but I've known him for 8 years, and I know that he
doesn't have a definite opening move. This means that he's actually going to engage Akame with either Red Queen or Yamato. In a first case, due to his superior strength, Akame gets knocked back, revealing herself to Nero, and after that he proceeds to grab her with Devil Bringer and slam her into the ground one or two times, which is more than enough to finish her off for good. And IIRC, Esdeath was able to break Murasame's way, so I don't know why Nero shouldn't be able to just slash through it and kill the assassin instantly. (This point was "debunked" by Scarlet, who said that Rebellion was unaffected by Yamato's abilities because it's a Devil Arm, and since Verse Equalization makes Murasame a Devil Arm as well, Nero's durability negation isn't going to work on. At this point, it's nothing but another assumption, because I recall that Rebellion was
literally the only Devil Arm to come in contact with Yamato, and this shouldn't be taken into account).
Here's the point about Devil Bringer. I might be wrong, but Murasame's poison spreading through it seems like wanking/NLF to me. The reason for this is that Nero was able to block Dante's blows with it (yes I know that he was 100% unserious there, but it's clear that he's put more strength into it than Akame possibly could) and slashing attacks seem to be ineffective against it (Rebellion giving off sparks when it got caught by Nero). It's also in character for Nero to block the enemy's attacks with a spectral version of the arm.
To sum everything up, I'd say that Nero has more possible scenarios in his favor than Akame does, and because these points were ignored, I'm asking people to remove it from their pages.
