Callouts:

Penny for your thoughts on this battle? For those who are interested in this battle but no knowledge on one or both opponents, here's a respect thread about Meruem and a bunch of videos showing Mob's combat abilities

Depends honestly.

I'm home not sure who takes this

I wonder what heat resistance post rose Meruem would have. Mob was melting parts of the building in his fight against Koyama.

@trueaustralian: pre rose meruem wasn't completely destroyed by a nuke, which is 10 times as hot as the sun for a brief period. So he takes it.

@zoldycklogic: Its only hotter than the sun for fractions of a second, and Meruem was essentially dead from the rose nuke.

@trueaustralian: even for a fraction of time he took that temperature and yet still had his torso intact... i know he was practically gonna die without his guards but it's still an impressive feat. and post rose he is much more powerful

@zoldycklogic: I can touch a red hot piece of steel for a fraction of a second and not hurt myself, its all about exposure time.

@trueaustralian: seriously? it's a nuclear bomb. let's say for a sec it's hotter than the sun and what? a second later it's as cold as room temperature?

@zoldycklogic: No it peaks at millions of degrees for like microseconds then descends from there, average temp after a second or two is something like 3 - 7,000 degrees.

@trueaustralian: @zoldycklogic: since you guys are so interested; for reference, a gif of a nuke going off (so hot it's burning the landscape and environment around it before the shockwave hits)

@kbm: it's much hotter at the center/inside the fireball.

I'll side with Meruem since I only know the anime version of Shigeo.

mob should take it 5.5/10

if its ???% mob he stomps

Frankly, Shigeo is way too slow and passive to not get murdered by a blitz before he can get serious. In-character mob loses basically 10/10.

If he's in the same state he was against Suzuki, Mob flattens Meruem and the surrounding city, even if it takes him a while.

Meruem still takes it, then and now.

If Mob starts off even remotely serious he can fodderize entire verse. Once he merges with his ???% form in webcomic. He becomes ridiculous.

Since this is in-character, Mob usually takes violence as a last resort and would hold back. If bloodlusted, Meruem cannot waste any time blitzing. The moment mob goes 100%, it's a done deal.

I wonder if he can convince Meruem to not kill people.. likely not. Meruem gets shit stomped after Mob gives up on saving him.

Mob wins. Way too powerful
