Lucifero stomps.
The captains even admitted that the only reason they didn't all get immediately stomped was Rills magic.
None of them have the durability to suggest they don't get fisted through the chest.
@captain_inverse: Touché! The captains had at least hax working for them.... The Ryuzen Seven have no such luxury. They get promptly dealt with.
@mangacomics69: @captain_inverse: @kade17:
What do you think about opinions similar to this one?
@captain_inverse: hmmmm, werent Paladins confirmed to be > devils? That would include Lucifero and strongest Ryuzen soloed one.
@oreoghoul: not all devils are equal, they're hierarchy is strictly one of power. The twins wouldn't touch Dante solely because he was the host of Lucifero.
We didn't know what devil heath had, it certainly wasn't a Supreme.
The host also plays a factor, and he wasn't even vice captain level

Oh wow!👀 Yeah… no!
@kade17: My thoughts exactly
@mangacomics69: @kade17: I was hoping for a more detailed and informative response, lmao.
You really don't think that the Ryuzen can pose a threat? Base Ichika on her own was able to beat Partial Devil Union Asta almost to the point of blackout. A refined Devil Union Asta at that, unlike the one that fought Lucifero. Asta himself stated that this form concentrates his anti-magic making it stronger and denser than the previously.
If base Ichika can give Asta a trashing comparable to the one that Lucifero gave him, meaning that she is around Lucifero's level, what chance does he have when we add the rest of her crew that would be around her level as well?
@ones_and_twos: Im not saying they're not strong, but its HOW to put down Lucifero. thats what im referring tbh, and without asta, im not sure which one of them is Arcane class aside from maybe Ichika, but yes.
Base Yosuga > Full Power Dark Cloaked Black Warrior Ichika > Base Ichika > Pre-Training PDU Asta ~ Lucius w/100% Lucifero > TDU Asta > 50% Lucifero. With Ichika being Arcane due to Dark Magic so she can kill Lucifero
Connect the dots and you see that Ichika would solo Lucifero, all 7 of them against him is a spite.
@epsilonr: Hmm, good points
I don’t…. Or rather, I should say, I’m not fully convinced.
For one, there’s really no denying that Asta‘s would have gotta stronger during the past 15 months (and so his over all combat efficiency is logically > his 15 month self ) but his initial skirmish with Ichika wasn’t in his Partial Devil Union, but his black form? And so, she doesn’t exactly scale (her base form, that is) to being > PDU Asta. So, the scaling becomes slightly unhinged.
Since now it becomes:
If base Ichika can give Asta a trashing (in black form)….etc. so In this case, scaling b-Ichika’s efficiency (against Asta) becomes slightly thorny.
I’m a bit press for time. But the conversation is to be continued.
@kade17: Ah, yeah. You are correct, it was just Black Asta. Damn, these two forms really look alike now.
@kade17: Ah, yeah. You are correct, it was just Black Asta. Damn, these two forms really look alike now.
Agreed.
@kade17: here's the thing. Even if Asta was in black form, he outright stated that Devil Union wouldn't have made a difference. Meaning pre-training Devil Union would have been overwhelmed too.
said:Even Kezokaku could blitz can damage Lily, who had the 3rd strongest Devil within her so the other Ryuzen are not too far behind
But wasn’t he just referencing his Black form in that context? Additionally, don’t we also have reason to believe or question the nature of Lily‘s paladification (as per the newest chapter)? it seems a bit weird that her form isn’t synonymous/closely associated to the other supreme incarnated-for a lack of better term- paladins?
Base Yosuga > Full Power Dark Cloaked Black Warrior Ichika > Base Ichika > Pre-Training PDU Asta ~ Lucius w/100% Lucifero > TDU Asta > 50% Lucifero. With Ichika being Arcane due to Dark Magic so she can kill Lucifero

I'd like to address this to get some clarification, because i'm not sure if I 100% agree with this. I say this because it's also possible base Lucius scales below 50% Lucifero. We never saw what transpired before Lucius beat 50% Lucifero, only the end result. He could have transformed into his true human/paladin form during the battle, then reverted back to normal after defeating Lucifero.
and then, in the Spade arc Lucifero had access to 50% of his full power, much like how Dante had access 80% the power granted to him. Yet we know Lucifero had to transform to use his full power at 50%. That means his base 50% manifestation could vary anywhere from 1% of his power to 49% Much like how Dante could use 1% to 80% of the power he possessed. Lucifero in base was barely cut by Yami & Nacht combo, while his serious 50% form couldn't be cut. There's also the fact that base 50% Lucifero could easily overpower his own punch that was redirected back at him, twice as powerful via trap magic by Zora % Nero
That means that his serious form scales more than 2x higher than his base 50% form, that could casually double its own power in a non serious state.
That means full 50% Lucifero > Base Lucifero × more than twice his own base power (because he had to overpower his own punch) > Base power so at the minimum we're looking at 2 different stat increases for his 50% Manifestation.
Transformations are a good way to estimate how much power a person is using in battle in the BC verse. Lucius didn't transform during first battle until towards the end, so he fought Asta in base most of the fight. Mind you, before he transformed he sprouted Lucifero's wings before purifying them, so we can’t really say how much of Lucifero's power Lucius used in base, at the minimum he wasn't using Lucifero's full power, because using all of Lucifero's power would cause Lucius to display some form of weg (as we saw right before he purified himself) For all we know, partial devil union Asta could only scale above base Lucifero who was probably using anywhere from 1/10th to 9/10ths of his full power, which would still scale lower than his full 50% form. Especially since when Asta noted him and Liebe were stronger than they were back then, the image of Lucifero that was used was base 50 % manifested Lucifero from the beginning of the fight, not full 50% Lucifero.
No.
Basically, the core of this statement is that Devil Union wouldn't have changed the outcome of the fight. The unofficial translations got it right, but Viz translated the phrase the wrong way, which made it seem like Asta was using Devil Union when it wasn't the case.
Now about Lily, I don’t see what makes her form different from the others. She has wings, horns and tattoos just like them
And paladins were outright stated to have their powers surpass that of the Devils. Even if we downplay this statement to "their power surpasses that of the Devil reincarnated inside them", Lily would still be superior to Beelzebub and therefore relative to Lucifero.
Lucius scales above Lucifero, not just because he defeated him, but also because he ended up absorbing him before fighting Asta. Absorbing something in BC often- no, always means having its power. Lucius even had a power up from it as he stated he could create large scale spells thanks to absorbing him.
Base Lucius being relative to Lucifero is supported by both Fuegoleon and Asta saying his strength is on par with Lucifero.

So it’s a matter of mistranslation on viz part? Though the semantic isn’t quite that important, since we do have sufficient evidence to say that wouldn’t have been the case, given that pre-training PDU Asta was relative to Full Power Dark Cloaked Black Warrior Ichika? Meaning, Base Ichika > Pre-Training PDU Asta isn’t concrete.
Just a side note:
Now with that aside, the team‘s lacking a crucial ability here as their raw power and skill would serve to accomplish next to nothin if they don’t have the hax to work around Lucifero And his passive gravity field: which will serve as a great impedance, IMO: both to their coordination (their ability to function coherently), spells and to a greater extent to their mobility. Ichika doesn’t have Yami‘s lethality.

I’m saying she doesn’t have the characteristics of a purified supreme devil like the others.
How this correlates to her strength is a conversation that could be had. But of all the paladin who’s ability and power are from that of a supreme devil, Lily is the only one that lacks the characteristic 4 horns and 2 wings? isnt this cause for concern?
Lucius scales above Lucifero, not just because he defeated him, but also because he ended up absorbing him before fighting Asta. Absorbing something in BC often- no, always means having its power.

Right and Fuegoleon and co got wiped out by base Lucifero. Yes Lucius is above 50% Lucifero, but i'm saying what percentage of Lucifero power was Lucius actively using during the Asta fight? I'm aware he absorbed all of Lucifero's power, but what I'm asking is how much of that power can we confirm he actually used?
Because we already saw that there is a stat difference between final form 50% Lucifero, and base form 50% Lucifero since Yami could barely harm one form, and do absolutely no damage to the other. The lack of Lucius's weg during the battle suggest Lucius was not drawing out that much power.
Both forms have access to 50% of Lucifero's power, but both forms use different levels of said power since Lucifero told them he would now fight them with all of the power he currently possesses, and then proceeds to transform. From what I recall, the only indication of substantial amount of Lucifero's power being used, was when Lucius actually transformed into his paladin form. Dante for example didn't start displaying any devilish features/weg until he used 50% of his power. Before Lucius purified his devil form, he sprouted Lucifero's wings, those wings should be an indicator that a substantial amount of Lucifero's power is being accessed, which is what has been consistent with every other devil host or devil power user. Lucius had to transform to access more power, which would mean that in his base form he is actually using less power since the scaling goes Paladin Lucius > Devil Lucius > Base Lucius.That giant chronostasis spell could have easily been created with only a small fraction of Lucifero's magical power, given that we have already seen Julius create large chronostasis spells (like when he briefly fought the ancient demon)
I'll respond to one of you first
@kade17: between his two battles against Ichika, a lot of time has passed. We know Asta can grow astronomically fast just from battling, as stated by Lolopechka and Gaja, and should be comparable to Yuno on that matter who could increase his Elf and human powers by the time he reached the Apostles of Sephirah
What I'm saying is The PDU that fought Ichika is stronger than the one that fought Lucius
It's actually arguably if you think about it intently, you see Asta grew after the fight with Lucifero, he got a lot faster even in his weaker forms but have anyone of you realized that he was actually blitz by the Ryuzen seven and defeated quite easily?
It's safe to say that they are fast, just as fast as or close to the speed of Lucifero, let me remind you again, Asta did grow!!!
If you want to talk about lethality of the Ryuzen seven, Zetten is more than enough, their Yojutsu can very well pass as Arcane stage magic with Zetten being a oneshot ability.
~ Fast( almost as fast or fast enough as Lucifero) & a oneshot attack (which all of them have in their arsenal.
Yeah this is arguable. It's more likely they'd win solely cos of their numbers. That's my own take in the battle though!!!!
