A fashioned, skillful and powerful knight is all of what you can name Arthur and his imagination is very wide, not to mention how he thinks highly of himself. Even so, Arthur is one of those mysterious characters with unrivaled potential, especially in the world of Fire Force, and to praise him even more, he's gone on to fight one of the Top 5 strongest characters in the verse, doing very well in the process. To emphasize Arthur's growth, there's no better way to look at his fights against Dragon. In their first clash, Arthur failed to even put a scratch on him, with every attack he threw and even when it seemed like he couldn't get any stronger, Arthur's power was further extended by his imagination, Dragon even complementing his strength, however, it still ended in a mismatch. Flash forward to their second clash, and Arthur does become stronger and his casual strikes are complemented in comparison to his slashes that were performed when serious:
We see that Arthur can become many times stronger through his growth supplemented by his very imagination, altogether possessing the capabilities of becoming massively stronger in the mix of battle to putting a small scratch on Dragon to now making deep cuts on Dragon. Arthur's style of the sword can be used to level himself to that of the opponent, as Arthur had literally grown experience from an entire game. Let that sink in. While you can go on about Arthur's growth in the mix of battle and how this contributes to a fight against an equal opponent, there's also to worry about Arthur's swordsman skill, to put this into perspective, Arthur was taught the breath of life, the technique utilized to consist of counteracting what is real and what is not, so feints or low illusionary tricks do not affect.
On top of outright conversing with the surrounding area, it's worth mentioning Arthur can defy being sensed, and keeping his eyes off of him just once can be devastating. Keep in mind, Giovanni senses had outdone a blitz attack from Arthur, who at the time would be pretty fast, though that will be covered in the speed section.
Arthur has proven himself time and time again, clashing with the Dragon himself, but to truly understand the opponent he's facing, It's logical that we present the showing of Dragon; "The Man Who Quivered The Earth" Hundreds of years ago, Dragon was a deemed as a true "disaster" with the very existence of his power passively evaporating the very sea as well as cleaving through very continents
Through his sheer destruction, and keeping in mind that the world he once stood on was consumed by the very Cataclysm that wiped out a country's worth of land, keep in mind that chapters prior made a distinct notion that no one was surprised that there was a giant crater on the moon because they had already experienced the Cataclysm, that is either implying the damage is either greater or equal, which the latter seems the most likely but what's good to note is that it was a failed Cataclysm that the people experienced, not a complete, and the whole premise of the Cataclysm was meant to transform entire Planets to stars and on top of that it's the whole premise of forming the earth to a sun:
Presenting his power even further, causing entire volcanoes to rise from under the sea forming a natural disaster to what is portrayed as a manifestation of his despair. Breaking this down to simplest terms, usually, volcanoes located under the sea are about 1 kilometer or deeper. However, given the fairness of that this is Japan (where the Tokyo Empire and its districts exist), most of Japan's active Volcanoes can be found on average 3 or more kilometers within the sea, and Dragon very easily lifts those Volcanoes just in a seconds worth of timeframe. To what Volcano it may consist of, the most accurate would be a cinder cone volcano
Lifting something of that magnitude would be impressive, however, Dragon lifts several of those Volcanos, making the total number of mass lifted even greater. Impressive, but still a magnitude above his other feats. That said, we cite back to (1)Chapter 252 where Dragon is hit by this blast sending him to space but virtually taking no harm from the blast. This isn't just any blast either, this blast came from Charon, which killed him from Hinawa firing powerful rounds enough it was destroying his flesh as a result. Hinawa could fire rounds that could destroy Charon's flesh beyond repair while someone with the name Nataku did not, and to put into perspective how powerful Nataku is, Charon was capably reflecting his beam that is said to make a 500-kilometer wide crater
The visual power of this beam is just staggering, and the series goes on to provide us just how deadly of an attack with a radius, which is again asserted to be a range of 500 kilometers, so with every reason, this distance would also be applied upon making an impact on the moon, duh. However, to truly inculcate a sense of understanding, I present the feat at a tier of Large Country to Small Continental. This can be alluded to based on the fact it's clear vaporization, but given the skepticism of just throwing out "vaporization," I will mention a list of instances where Nataku's attacks do consist of vaporization and can support the notion of vaporization of the crater on the moon. While distinctly, Nataku only ever uses his big boy beam one time, I don't think it's wrong to assert that this can also be applied to his slicing beams which outright show instantly burning through the ground, and on top of that it heats towards the point it causes an explosion after already burning through the ground
This undoubtedly speaks for the use of vaporization, because of how the ground heats up and then converts to an explosion effect, however, I won't follow through with this being the only convincing argument, so I will also provide the fact it's confirmed to be radioactive, enough radioactive energy it would have evaporated all the weak people, so it does in fact produce intense vaporization to say the very least. All in all, Dragon remaining unscathed by such an attack that would be powered more than DOZENS of times stronger than one that yields Large Country level energies, the potency already spikes in Multi-Continental range. Dragon's ceiling can hit a level that is largely above this range, however. Benimaru wasn't confident in going in solo with Dragon there:
Meaning he was a threat, far more than Hibachi who by all means wasn't that strong in comparison to Benimaru, this being Base Dragon and not the Dragon who can use his heat to increase his scales and strength. Keep in mind that Benimaru himself is very impressive. Upon the brutal fight between Benimaru's Master and himself, Benimaru's strength is presented as superior throughout the fight, Hibachi even confirms this, as well as the fact it is further confirmed that Benimaru is superior, that said, establishing the raw power that they are dishing out is confirmed to be pulling a dimension closer and near the end of the fight, it is clarified even further that the effects of the fight were due to the ferocity of Benimaru's fight, changing the very sea as well as the Moon itself (replacing it with another, due to drawing the Adolla closer).
This would require pulling the Adolla Moon at speeds easily faster than Relativistic and quite literally a magnitude above Multi-Continental based on where the Adolla Moon was first seen near the sun supplementing just how significant the Adolla Moon was pulled.
A Knight's Blazing Speed
With how dearly a certain speed is treated in the world of Fire Force, it's hard to say that other characters possibly can obtain that form of speed as well, however, while that certain speed may limit certain characters, they still are very fast in their own right. To start, Chapter 72 will be our focus. Hinawa vs Arrow; In their fight, Hinawa can fire one last shot that accelerates to what may be an unknown speed from absorbing Arrow's attack. Hinawa for reference can use his own flames to further accelerate the bullets he shoots, however when he uses arrows' own flames, it speeds up massively. So fast, it gives off a blue-shift/red-shift phase.
What exactly is a blue-shift, redshift? A blueshift is described as a decrease in wavelength (increase in energy), with a corresponding increase in frequency, of an electromagnetic wave. With the redshift being referred to as visible light, this shifts the color from the red end of the spectrum to the blue end, with photons climbing out of a gravitating object becoming less energetic. This frequency often occurs when things approach close to the speed of light advocating relativistic speeds. What's so wildly impressive about why Hinawa is gaining velocity of such speeds from arrow's flames is the fact these flames would have to be very fast themselves, because Arrow shapes these flames to possess such speed and fires them at such speed, that allowed Hinawa's bullet to further accelerate (Arrow's flames do have a belief of being very fast themselves when they have shown to travel far into the night sky it can no longer be rendered visible) so to no exaggeration, and taking a safe estimate, Arrow's flame-arrow would have to travel at Sub-Rel speeds just for the sole reason it amped Hinawa's bullet speed to Relativistic. Keep in mind that Arthur can move fast enough to intercept Arrow's flame-arrow from several meters away.
We again go back to the moon-cratering feat with Charon, where we see that the power of the beam is strong, but it is also very fast. Reaching the Moon in a very small timeframe, Charon can block and stop the beam in its tracks when it's only a couple meters away, mind you and the likes of Shinra is capable of reacting to it enough to propel himself to the side. Given that Shinra and Arthur are pretty equal base to base, and both can take a beating from Benimaru that they both exhaust themselves at the same pace. Preferably, with the new chapters coming in, Relativistic is pretty consistent, being able to fly all the way to the Moon in a small second timeframe.
Arthur being able to combat and avoid another bullrush from Dragon. Consistently, Arthur is Relativistic, supplementing a speed that I consider far above the opponent Arthur will be facing, however just to sustain what Relativistic can be interpreted in the world of Fire Force, look no further against his fight with Burns, gaining an Adolla Link we see that Shinra starts to dissolve a little when using his last attack
This only occurs when Shinra is about to go light-speed, deconstructing himself into small particles, so given that Shinra was about to dissolve when moving to Burns, we can say he was approaching very close to the speed of light (Relativistic) keep in mind that despite being able to catch-up with a Sub-Rel arrow, after gaining an Adolla Burst and still did not produce enough speed to dissolve. The estimation is fair to assert and with Burns outright reacting to Shinra approaching close to the speed of light, Relativistic is again consistent. Compare that to Benimaru or Dragon who would demolish Burns in a fight, but Burns himself doesn't even feel confident in fighting Benimaru:
And as shown before, Benimaru isn't confident in taking everyone that was in the White-Clad, all because of Dragon. Making Dragon very much above Burns, in all forms of physical prowess. One could say Dragon is entirely a class cannon however, Dragon does tend to react to attacks and even blitz opponents.
The Tale Of The Knight's Victory: Conclusion
I won't speak on how one-sided this is, because as I've made clear, I am very skeptical of your scaling, hence why I want to challenge them against an opponent that exists on a clear tier above what I'd say Escanor can ever reach, faster and ludicrously stronger, as I don't see how FTL or Multi-Continental could be applied to Escanor, even Large Country I'd consider an exaggeration. With that said, I wish you the best of luck and do consider your response! @sauce_god31
