The Gauntlet

1. Deku (My Hero Academia)
2. Gon (Hunter x Hunter)
3. Yusuke (Yu Yu Hakusho)
4. Meliodas (Nanatsu no Taizai)
5. Ed (Full Metal Alchemist)
6. Goku (Dragon Ball)
7. Naruto (Naruto)

Location:

Meliodas could blow him up depending on how that would work with equal stats. That's likely his only way of winning, Hellblaze leaves permanent scars but doesn't seem to ignore healing in terms of actual wounds. Ed has no way of winning without knowledge since he can punch through Ultimate Shield and fly up if Ed tries opening a pitfall.

Goku would simply blow him up.

What is the point of equalised stats? Doesn't that mean they are equal in every way aside from abilities and techniques?

stops at Gon

gets casually one shotted by Yusuke

without destructive energy projections and energy to stats amplification, he stops at Naruto

List is out of order, should be:

1: Ed
2: Deku
3: Gon
4: Yusuke
5: Meliodas
6: Naruto
7: Goku

OT: Stops at 3. Hard stops at 4(at least on my list). Gon is faster and far stronger. Yusuke blitzes and one shots. No discussion with Mel, naruto, and god-forbid Goku

@nashiruu: Stats are equalized my friend :)

Stops at Mel then. Too much hax. Hard stop at naruto, who clone spams or TBB

@void_reborn: exactly! It comes down to skill, abilities, versatility, etc.

Ken is legit more skilled than a vast chunk of mainstream shonen characters. He's an accomplished martial artist, but on top of that he manages twice or three times as many limbs as a normal person and still incorporates martial arts into his own specialized fighting style. In addition to that, his regeneration is busted and his Kagune minces most everyone here.

I think Kaneki stops at 5

Kaneki has no chance at clearing, that’s for sure.

@chaos239: It's absurd to claim that he doesn't clear.

@valorknight: How does he get past Naruto’s 1000 clones, his precognition, his sealing, his chakra avatar, his flight, his energy projectile spam, his TSO etc?

@chaos239: Naruto can't blitz due to speed being equalized and Ken has the power to cut him with his Kagune. He can't be put down by anything in Naruto's arsenal (aside from sealing) before he himself gets chopped to pieces.

@valorknight: Now, here’s the odd thing.

I gave you a literal list of things Kaneki can’t deal with in my opinion.

You countered that saying Naruto can’t blitz, despite me never even implying he could.

So actually tell me this time. How does Kaneki get around SPSM Naruto flying up, closing himself hundreds of times over and then nuking him? Or using his TSO to kill him. Or his sealing.

lol spammable magnet style to seal and spammable RS-TBRS would leave all his cells cut down to pieces....naruto's weaker cloak no sold a diamond sword, base naruto no sold the piercing effect of chidori, kagune aint doing shit

OT: hard stops at mel

Stops at Mel and definitely stop at Naruto

with equal stats naruto is massively more versatile and haxed than goku

stops at mel

Stops at Mel, though would probably beat Goku and Ed under these conditions

Hard stop at Meliodas. Better hax, simple as that. Naruto stomps. Clone spams, BB spams, TSB, Magnet sealing... Kaneki somehow beating Naruto is laughable at best, absurdly fanboyish at worst.

I really can't see Kaneki even standing a chance against a sword fighter as experienced as Meliodas, the dude has pretty insane feats of swordmanship skill across the series along with a whole host of darkness based attacks that can shred Ken.

@laskt: nope!

Horrible order, Meliodas, Goku and Naruto obliterate Kaneki.
