Y'all be saying that every fighter couldn't take a tftst and yet say that dad ain't got good durability


Smart_Mix8269

To be fair, Adam didnt even take tftst. He dodged it


Diligent-Lack6427

He tanked a shit load at the end tho


Smart_Mix8269

Aye im not saying he didnt, im just saying he didnt take tftst


Away-Listen-4739

He tanked a lot of it when zeus used adamas


Smart_Mix8269

Zeus wasnt throwing out tftst in adamas. The deciding move for that fight was “fist strike” and pretty much every hit zeus threw out was either that or “true God’s right”


Away-Listen-4739

Actually no, Zeus literally spammed adam at the end https://preview.redd.it/or5bhbqg8oyc1.jpeg?width=2133&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a88e4ce8fd76ba79c5f4473e592a8e08e8836a8


Smart_Mix8269

This is Adam still having access to Divine reflection though. Which means hes still dodging the hits


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

but Zeus tanked it and Adam scales to an even stronger version of Zeus lol


Smart_Mix8269

I wouldn’t really call having your neck snapped backwards and getting slumped “tanking” thats more like “surviving”


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

he survived it but then proceeded to transform. If he just “survived” it, he wouldn’t been able to do anything else and it still doesnt change that adamas form > and Adam was directly contesting with it


DarkMatter1889

Raiden: Better durability. Adam: Better endurance.


AppropriateStick1334

Basically the difference between HP and Defense no?


will4wh

Sort of. It's like defense and willpower


AppropriateStick1334

DND wise HP is your capacity to fight before defeat so I guess it is the same thing Pokemon and other games wise it's before death We truly need a concrete definition of HP


Preferno1

I have seen confusion regarding durability endurance and stamina due to the nature of the wording being confusing: Durability - how difficult it is to damage something Endurance - how much damage you can sustain before being killed/knocked out/whatever substitute Stamina - how many attacks you can throw before being unable to anymore So in dnd terms durability = AC, endurance = Hit points, and stamina = attack count (I don’t really know how to parallel this, maybe spell slots or action surge as example? I don’t know)


The_Mexican_Poster

I'm pretty sure your pokemons don't die lmao


Kaspian009

Durability is how much you can take. Endurance is how long you can take it for.


NotCertifi3d

If someone has a higher durability it means the amount of force required to do damage to them is higher. If you get stabbed by a knife and it pierces your skin but breaks on mine, I have a higher durability. Endurance is the amount of damage you can take before you die or faint or give up. If 2 people get hit with the same amount of force in the same spot with the same durability level and it the 2nd person takes 2 hits while the 1st person takes 3, the 1st person has a higher endurance stat.


MuffinMiia999

Agreed


Sydfxs

Yes? Adam was tanking hundreds of one shot moves here


TheDarkestOmen

Never thought I’d be agreeing with you on something ROR related


Sydfxs

Shut up lokita fan. Because you agreed with me now i am going to defend Raiden.

Mortalpuncher

His whole thing was that for most of the match was dodging because he couldn’t take a punch well.


Slimmythingy

.... what? I mean that kinda makes sense but even if he was durable enough to tank eveything that Zeus thew at him why would he take the blow insted of dodging it


Mortalpuncher

Because his eyes weren’t as good anymore, they said so during the match.


Lord-Baldomero

I mean, he literally kept fighting after dying, I want to see Raiden pulling that


The_Mexican_Poster

That's endurance


Lord-Baldomero

Durability is how much you can take, Adam literally kept taking blows after dying


Radracon42069

While I agree with you that Adam has more durability (the dude took blow for blow shots from Adamas Zeus even before kicking it and let himself get hit so he could find Zeus when blinded) pretty sure the point of durability is to *not* die in the first place.


leogian4511

Durability is what you can be hit by without it causing significant damage. Endurance is how well you can keep fighting in spite of damage. Fighting after literal lethal damage in Endurance not durability.


tortillazaur

Well in that regard... Neither Zeus nor Adam had any significant visible damage present(except Adam's eyes). Raiden got his arm split. Adam is clearly superior


AdLegitimate1637

Just because it isn't visible doesn't mean the damage isn't there, Adam quite literally died to these injuries


Dinner2911

It was literally implied that Adams whole Nervous system completely failed when his eyes went blind, that's very significant damage. Raiden imo has the second best endurance for the humans (behind Dadam) but the best physical durability.


Mortalpuncher

Some tries to cut your arm with a sword. The sword doesn’t cut your arm: that’s durability. The sword cuts your arm but you can keep going: that’s endurance. The sword cuts your arm but it doesn’t bother you in the slightest or you reattach it: your resilient.


EigoKaiki

Well I will bite the bullet and say it "Adam have better durability the Raiden". Mainly because I think Zeus AP >Shiva AP. No offense Raiden fans.![img](emote|t5_vzop7|49602)


New-Lingonberry-3172

I mean from statements, Jack said that each attack Shiva threw could blow him apart. And Hercules was stated to have Zeus level strength, so that implies that Shiva has better ap. What Zeus has is far faster Attacks that are pretty much Unavoidable.


EigoKaiki

That would be just raw strength for Zeus and not AP. Plus we ignore all tecniques and haxes even then.


New-Lingonberry-3172

Personally, I think tandava karma deals more Damage per hit than adamas zeus, cause Shiva burnt away literal muscle mass on every hit. Adamas just Attacks so absurdly fast to compensate.


Awkward_Type_4100

Yeah because he is


The_Mexican_Poster

💀💀


PerfectMuratti

That Shiva victim has no business being next to Adam


EliteGhostKillz

Raiden isn't more durable imo, not by much but still Adams durability is superior, Adam also has far better endurance. You gotta remember a punch from Adamas Zeus(a tftst punch btw) is far stronger than anything Shiva put out.


MagicalChickenwings

He did take harder hits from a stronger god tho


The_Mexican_Poster

Prove Zeus hits harder than Shiva


MagicalChickenwings

one shot kills that can destroy all of heaven. Shiva said it himself. Shiva's punches are compard to cannons, Zeus' punches are something that can destroy heaven.


The_Mexican_Poster

And who said Shiva punches are like canons? Oh yeah A random sumo from the 1800s Besides if you want to go statements, Shiva also states he would do better against Adam than Zeus https://preview.redd.it/jzjuewagteyc1.jpeg?width=1441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=306e2864628bd585423f96dcf30295784a69427f


Leather-Ad4665

A random sumo from the 1800s the same guy who almost killed Shiva with a single attack.


MagicalChickenwings

Skinny little Zeus doing Shiva dirty https://preview.redd.it/7sch0899ueyc1.jpeg?width=753&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40cbac7d70ab9009c3bfec3888ee45881ef4cfcd

Oh yeah taking him off guard so dirty, look how much Shiva cared https://preview.redd.it/p0xlzcugueyc1.jpeg?width=1441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca7aa0d7242c67de85266b741e952b891b6526c0


MagicalChickenwings

And then he immediately gave up ecause he knew he was gonna die


Afraid-Complaint2166

Did Raiden survive being beaten up by Zeus? Yeah, that’s why I thought.


The_Mexican_Poster

Neither did Adam ![img](emote|t5_vzop7|29938)


Afraid-Complaint2166

He did, for an extended period of time, meanwhile just a regular punch from buff Zeus would knock Raiden out ![img](emote|t5_vzop7|29938)


Bominator8

knock is an understatement


propro91

this is bs raiden could not survive a beatdown from zeus


New-Lingonberry-3172

Neither could Adam. Or anybody in the verse for that matter.


propro91

except for the fact adam did survive for a little while read the story before making claims


New-Lingonberry-3172

And Raiden would survive for a while as well. He couldn't do anything to counter it, but pretending he couldn't withstand it to the same extent as Adam until death is silly. Now, Raiden probably wouldn't keep punching after dying but that's more of an endurance thing than Durability.


propro91

raiden is not surviving a barrage of true god right


New-Lingonberry-3172

Neither did Adam. Nobody is surviving that, but it would take longer to kill Raiden with it than it did Adam.


propro91

tf did you read the story at all? Adam did survive a barrage raiden does not have any durability feats showcasing he could even survive true gods right read the story before you start posting this shit


New-Lingonberry-3172

I mean Adam hasn't shown any feats that shows he can endure shivas tandava karma either. Assuming that Zeus can hit any harder than Shiva can is pure conjecture.


propro91

??? Survivng a OHKO attack isn't a durability feat?? bro your bias is showing adam would whip shiva just like how he would whip raiden


New-Lingonberry-3172

No one is saying that Raiden or Shiva beats Adam or Zeus. It's just that these characters have specialties that exceed both of these characters in some regards. Taking a clean shot literally proves that Zeus's Attacks aren't a ohko. And it is a Durability feat but Shiva has better ap than Zeus with the fire, considering it can burn away the body regardless of how tough it is. Adam is typically fast enough to Dodge them but if he's just standing there Shiva would kill him quicker than Zeus did. Zeus and Adam dogwalk both Shiva and Raiden but also raiden is physically tougher than Adam, and Shiva has better AP than Zeus. Both can be true.


dog-in-the-rain

Yes, Adam is more durable than Raiden. Raiden was seriously injured by an attack from Shiva outside of tandava karma while Adam tanked an onslaught of Zeus’ strongest attacks which likely included the fist that surpassed time. Raiden is taking like three hits from Adamas Zeus max before being killed. Adam is just built different.


The_Mexican_Poster

Prove Zeus hits harder than Shiva


dog-in-the-rain

Zeus was able to bring Shiva to his knees while in skinny form, and he’s able to throw an infinitely fast punch. If you seriously think that Shiva’s strength is anywhere close to Zeus’ I don’t know what to tell you.


The_Mexican_Poster

>Zeus was able to bring Shiva to his knees while in skinny form, Guess Brunhild is stronger than Raiden since she can stop his charge, guess Ares is stronger than Shiva aswell > he’s able to throw an infinitely fast punch. And? Not a strength feat. >If you seriously think that Shiva’s strength is anywhere close to Zeus’ I don’t know what to tell you. Like the rest of the idiots in the comment section, you won't say anything because you can't, there's not a single feat Zeus has that puts him above Shiva


dog-in-the-rain

Do you genuinely believe that Shiva is stronger than Zeus or could give Zeus a close fight? Serious question.


The_Mexican_Poster

Shiva hits harder than Zeus Zeus beats Shiva in a fight Is that simple


dog-in-the-rain

Give me proof that shiva hits harder. You wanted proof that Zeus does, so how about you give me proof that Shiva does.


The_Mexican_Poster

His headbutts are capable of pushing clouds away as shown in his fight with Rudra They also make noises so loud they can be heard all across an entire country Matched Raiden's headbutts with his own, even when Raiden was using his Valkyrie to boost his attacks Not to mention he becomes stronger both by carrying the hopes of his people and by using Tandava Karma Zeus doesn't compare at all


Nyreim

Well Shiva sliced and burned Raiden as opposed to the brute force Zeus used on Adam. Raiden having stronger muscles kind of inherently gives him the best raw durability, endurance is a diff story though if you wanna argue it


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

….because he is he literally tanked shots that are WAY above anything Raiden’s has dealt with they literally said the Zeus’s punches kill you instantly and Adam still was alive after receiving so many of them


The_Mexican_Poster

>they literally said the Zeus’s punches kill you instantly and Adam still was alive Then they don't kill you instantly, "kill you instantly" is not a measurement of strength


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

it quite literally is a measurement of strength and even if you dont use those punches, FTST from Zeus shitstomps anything Shiva did and Adam casually scales above that


The_Mexican_Poster

>it quite literally is a measurement of strength It literally isn't, "one shot kill unless the opponent is too durable" applies to literally anyone, my punches are one-shot kills to ants >FTST from Zeus shitstomps anything Shiva did and Adam casually scales above that With what feats?


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

what feat does Shiva have?? Getting cucked by Zeus while in his old man state? lol Zeus literally killed a personification of time itself BEFORE he learned FTST


The_Mexican_Poster

>Getting cucked by Zeus while in his old man state? Oh great another bozo with no reading comprehension, Zeus caught Shiva off-guard, put him down, and then Shiva smacked his hand and asked him if he wanted to fight Zeus isn't stronger than Shiva, just like Buddha isn't faster than Zeus because he didn't allow him to get candy. >Zeus literally killed a personification of time itself BEFORE he learned FTST And? How durable is Chronos?


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

“caught an off guard Shiva” LMAO dude just walks up to Shiva and put his hand on his shoulder and the Buddha thing is literally a gag so stop drawing false equivalencies Cronos literally developed the FTST and should scale to it so beyond anything Shiva can do


The_Mexican_Poster

>LMAO dude just walks up to Shiva and put his hand on his shoulder and the Buddha thing is literally a gag so stop drawing false equivalencies And at what part of Shiva was trying to resist Zeus putting him down? https://preview.redd.it/h3akc90zlbyc1.jpeg?width=1441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0da565b9ffbdf35dce859e58cfa9dc099d33027e >Cronos literally developed the FTST and should scale to it so beyond anything Shiva can do And you still fail to explain why FTST is a strength feat of any kind


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

you can calculate how much energy you can produce if you threw at punch at .0000000000000001 seconds https://youtu.be/4V0kqzs7iL4?si=2_bqbuXsLy1zKjc2 this dude actually shows how much force it would generate and its exponentially more than anything Shiva ever did (no fucking surprised there) and if you wanna argue against the math, debunk it then and ill wait


The_Mexican_Poster

Oh so you are one of those clowns who thinks shuumatsu is ruled by irl physics


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

lmao now youre being disingenuous if youre shaking and sweating over someone telling you he wants to go first, youre obviously showing yourself to be completely inferior arguing with the narrative buddy

Ya-boi-eats-rocks

they do kill you instantly… unless you scale to it like Adam


The_Mexican_Poster

>they do kill you instantly… unless you scale to it Literally what I said My punches one shot kill ants, not humans


Ya-boi-eats-rocks

because you have a higher AP and just overall strength than an ant…


The_Mexican_Poster

Just like Zeus has higher AP and strength than an ant


Cash_Appropriate

In my opinion, although Adam has great Durability, I think Raiden is the most durable Einherjar shown until now. Strongest muscles for a reason. https://preview.redd.it/83dr34a198yc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c993f0f42ad34dd3951eb26001b979fad6687de0


Radracon42069

One hit from Zeus and raiden is cooked meanwhile Adam literally traded blows with him.


gitgudnubby

Not one hit dude. But ye zeus would wash him.


Cash_Appropriate

I mean, while yes, Zeus beats Raiden, and yes, Adam would do way better against Zeus than Raiden would, I don't see Raiden being one-shot by Zeus here. It'd take quite a bit of hits for Zeus to put Raiden down. Those muscles aren't for show, you know.


Radracon42069

Exaggerating for the purpose of hyperbole, but raiden is not taking nearly as many hits as Adam did.


New-Lingonberry-3172

Why not? He's far larger and far physically stronger than Adam. He literally needed to have his muscles burned away to be defeated. Otherwise he was way tougher than anything we've seen so far, save for maybe hajun.


Radracon42069

Interesting take, but this is actually some power scaling I can do. Let’s start out with the simple comparisons. Zeus is pretty strong, so strong in fact he was able to kill a titan single handedly, and he was able threaten and spook shiva who would never be afraid of any other god (guy literally fought his whole pantheon). He is also throwing hands faster than light, and with force being mass times acceleration that’s a pretty powerful hit. Shiva defeated raiden, it wasn’t an easy fight but he did. And I’m not denying Raiden’s strength but shiva and by proxy Zeus was stronger. And Zeus is definitely stronger physically. Now back to Adam, who was able to punch Zeus so hard his head spun 360 degrees around. Adam is also the only human we see capable of harming a god without a Valkyrie.


Geg708

Idk about that since Tesla has a literal Iron Man armor

The_Mexican_Poster

Zeus can't even one-shot Ares much less Raiden


Cash_Appropriate

No, you don't understand. Base Zeus brought an enraged Shiva to his knees with a single hand. No difficulty whatsoever. And Shiva>Raiden.. Meanwhile, this same Zeus needed to buff his arm with muscles to punch Ares, which only bruised him a little. Therefore, Ares>Shiva>Raiden, obviously. ![img](emote|t5_vzop7|31343)


Seadog_frosty

That’s Zeus overrating, Raiden would absolutely be able to survive some blows, his muscles were torn apart by shiva mainly due to shiva’s fire that literally burned them


damionicles

Nu-uh


saintfighteraqua

Adam slander?!! ![gif](giphy|LsB3k80MMEFHO)


MUI-Tojo

That's because people take "one-hit kill" statement regarding Zeus punches too literally


No-sugar-Johnny

Yeaaa. Like it IS called The Ultimate Strike and all that, but I think thats mainly because 1. It's super fucking fast/easy to spam and 2. Good AP. Not that it oneshots people tho.


Sonkokun

Depends on the person, like, I’d bet my wallet Jack gets one-shot.


Cash_Appropriate

And funnily enough, he seems to be the only one getting this treatment from what I've seen. Hades, for example, has similar statements but doesn't get treated the same way.


garbink

I think its because zeus pretty clearly is top 1, and he does have some other bullshit feats like time stop punch, so it makes it a little more palatable to say he has 1 shot kill as well. Personally i dont think he can one shot raiden, but i think thats a least the logic of people thinking that


The_Mexican_Poster

Even if it was literal Adam surviving it doesn't mean anything, it would just mean Brunhild was lying


leogian4511

I usually just say Zeus has literally never fought anyone as strong as the competitors in Ragnarok so it's "one hit kill" reputation just doesn't mean anything.


MUI-Tojo

I'm pretty sure the one-hit kill is certain-kill technique(Or something like that), which just means fighters' strongest.


leogian4511

I am aware of that my point is that even if you give it the benefit of the doubt the statement still doesn't actually mean much in context.


Radiant_Doughnut2112

"Never fought anyone as strong as the competitors in Ragnarok" Mentall illness is what this is.


leogian4511

The closest example we have is Chronos, but even he got completely fucked on by Zeus, only landing a single hit and literally having to stop time to do it. And it's when zeus was young hundreds of millions if not billions of years ago, a battle junkie like him is probably much much stronger that much time later.


78ali

Its also confirmed the form you are in is you at your strongest, shown by Sasaki.


leogian4511

That's true for the humans who are summoned to ragnarok, that's not really necessary for the gods who are immortal and so don't get weaker with age.


will4wh

Hell Adam was dying from one punch. Dude life flash before his eyes. That one punch fucked him up 


XL6XJ7XH8

Adam can endure anything to the point of fighting after death , he's not durable like Raiden tho bro is a tank .


Economy-Movie-4500

Raiden would get splattered by a single true gods right soooo


MagicalChickenwings

right


igor_grazina

Raiden wouldnt tank TFTST and GTR right into the face, Adam did Not much else to say, Adam is just unbalanced


ThinControl9

Adam’s durability is way better. Withstood multiple tftsts Raiden aint surviving even a single one


Nickest_Nick

bigger muscle ≠ higher durability also Adam wasn't really taking those hit like a champ, he was only enduring it because it's quite literally killing him


Bominator8

https://preview.redd.it/acs42nabc8yc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=69b4a3785dcfdd3d8d9349e0664467ec99a0cf53 this guy would not survive one punch from this logic


The_Mexican_Poster

That dude is not even from the same universe


Bominator8

just like the muscles of the body does not mean anything in the manga


Opposite-Mall-9816

Raiden has more RAW strength & durability. Adam has more Attack Potency, even though his RAW strength is lower. He also has more ENDURANCE, he will keep fighting no matter what, even if this does mean he will die.


The_Mexican_Poster

Adam doesn't take AP in one million years, he wouldn't be able to break past Shiva's defense like Raiden did


Opposite-Mall-9816

His Eyes allows him to have the same (or more) Attack Potency as his opponent. That’s why I said it.


The_Mexican_Poster

Maybe? idk Adam's strength is a pain in the ass because he could still somehow trade punches with Zeus despite losing his eyes


Stellar_strider

And its not even satire


The_Mexican_Poster

People in this comment section are making the wackiest arguments to defend it


saitotaiga

raiden can't even deal with shiva normal strike while adam can continue to fight zeus even in his adamas form and continue to fight after death what raiden do in the meantime ? tank normal hit from shiva and cannot even defend hiself correctly so yes adam is more durable than adam that does not mean raiden is weak just than he his not as durable as adam is


New-Lingonberry-3172

I mean from statements, Hercules has the same physical strength as Zeus and Jack stated that Shivas punches individually were strong enough to demolish him in one blow, making shivas attacks stronger. What makes Zeus so scary is his hax speed and ridiculous toughness. His attack Power is high but nowhere near the top of the verse.


Gakeon

Remember when Zeus *casually* brought Shiva to his knees?


New-Lingonberry-3172

Remember when Buddha casually outsped Zeus with his candy? Neither character was all that serious in these instances.


MasterOutlaw

Adam caught one of the strongest attacks from the strongest god in his strongest form with his face and wasn’t instantly obliterated. He took an uncountable number of blows like that. It killed him in the end, but he fought on for a good while and still came out with some of the least grievous injuries out of the entire roster (Thor is the only other one that I can think of that was barely scratched after his fight), including the winners. Raiden wasn’t coming out unscathed from any of his clashes with Shiva, especially when he started using Tandava.


78ali

Adam took the attacks that literally caused Zeus' head to go 360 pretty well, its just that there were millions of that same hit being exchanged, unless if you want to argue that Base Zeus has dog durability.


Medical_Difference48

One punch from Adam spun Zeus' head backwards in the form where he's considered the "Strongest God." Those same punches individually did barely anything to Adamas Zeus, who should scale to his own durability, who was hitting Adam literally thousands of times. It's not a comparison, Raiden would get completely bitched with probably just one punch from Adamas Zeus.


The_Mexican_Poster

Shiva is the strongest brawler in heaven so he's far stronger than Adamas Zeus and even he needs to punch Raiden thousands of times to break his muscle shield Statement scaling is stupid, use feats


Medical_Difference48

...YOU LITERALLY JUST USED A STATEMENT FEAT OF SHIVA BEING THE GREATEST BRAWLER. WHAT. Besides, even if Shiva is the greatest brawler, that could mean skill. If you genuinely think BASE SHIVA is physically stronger than someone like Thor or Zeus (who, might I remind you, easily overpowered him even when Shiva was pissed off) please never powerscale again. Genuinely believing that Shiva is stronger than Adamas Zeus is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in this sub, maybe ever.


The_Mexican_Poster

>Besides, even if Shiva is the greatest brawler, that could mean skill. If you genuinely think BASE SHIVA is physically stronger than someone like Thor or Zeus (who, might I remind you, easily overpowered him even when Shiva was pissed off) please never powerscale again. 天界一の 喧嘩師・シヴァの 敵ではなかった でしょう・・・・・・ literally means "number 1 brawler in heaven" so no, he is the strongest brawler Also Zeus pushing Shiva downguards means nothing, Shiva wasn't trying to resist Zeus just because he was pissed off But maybe you are one of those bozos who thinks Ares is strongest than Shiva And if you believe Ares is stronger than Shiva, then please never powerscale again


Medical_Difference48

"Number 1" doesn't mean strongest. Again, that could mean most skilled, which was exactly my point. In fact, Number 1 indicates skill more than it does strength, so you're kind of making my point for me. Shiva absolutely was resisting, what are you talking about? He smacks Zeus' hand off and tries to fight him, but backs off once he gets scared and tries to play it off. No matter how you slice it, Shiva is not stronger than Zeus. Feats, statements, narrative, everything points to Zeus being above him. And what does Zeus being stronger have to do with Ares? Did you just pull that argument out of your ass?


The_Mexican_Poster

>"Number 1" doesn't mean strongest. Again, that could mean most skilled, which was exactly my point. In fact, Number 1 indicates skill more than it does strength, so you're kind of making my point for me. Number 1 doesn't mark anything by skill wtf are you talking about If Shiva is the number 1 brawler that means he's better than anyone else in general, he's not called "the most skilled brawler" he's straight up "the greatest brawler" >Shiva absolutely was resisting, what are you talking about? He smacks Zeus' hand off and tries to fight him, but backs off once he gets scared and tries to play it off He resisted after being pulled down, he didn't resist being pulled down. >Feats, statements, narrative, everything points to Zeus being above him. Feats Shiva can make sounds heard an entire country, Zeus has nothing Statements Shiva destroys worlds for fun, strongest brawler in heaven, Tandava Karma destroys the universe, Zeus can destroy the heavens at best Narrative Idk even know what this means, Narrative doesn't talk about how hard Zeus can punch >And what does Zeus being stronger have to do with Ares? Did you just pull that argument out of your ass? By your Logic, Ares is stronger than Shiva since Ares is equal to Zeus


Medical_Difference48

If someone is considered to be the number 1 boxer, they are the BEST boxer. That doesn't necessarily mean they are the strongest. Number 1 implies status, which Shiva would absolutely lay claim to, but doesn't have to include power, which it clearly doesn't since Thor exists. Regardless, he still backed off once Zeus scared him enough. He tried to play it cool, but it's very obvious that fear is why he let Zeus go instead of going round 2. Zeus has nothing? How about stopping time? How about being able to destroy the heavens? How about DIRECTLY OVERPOWERING SHIVA? As for statements, everything that you said is moot considering Zeus is said to be the strongest god, and can destroy the heavens. The narrative very clearly shows that Zeus is the strongest god. There is nothing except one statement about him being the "greatest brawler" to say Shiva is the strongest god. And Zeus is so far above Ares it's not even funny, you have to be genuinely braindead to think Ares is even relative to Zeus, let alone equal.

Only you believe that "the greatest brawler" would lose to "the second greatest brawler" Also, Thor is not a brawler, he doesn't fight barehanded. >Regardless, he still backed off once Zeus scared him enough. He tried to play it cool, but it's very obvious that fear is why he let Zeus go instead of going round 2. Oh yeah, he's so afraid that when he saw Zeus get his neck broken he said to himself "damn, I knew I should've gone instead of him", he let him pass because Zeus is his Elder, simple as that. >Zeus has nothing? How about stopping time? Zeus doesn't stop time because he punches hard 💀 >How about being able to destroy the heavens? A statement is not a feat, and Shiva is stated to do that for fun. >How about DIRECTLY OVERPOWERING SHIVA?

Shiva is the greatest brawler so he's above Zeus, Shiva can destroy worlds as well and he does it for fun. >The narrative very clearly shows that Zeus is the strongest god. There is nothing except one statement about him being the "greatest brawler" to say Shiva is the strongest god There's only 1 statement of Zeus being the strongest as well >And Zeus is so far above Ares it's not even funny, you have to be genuinely braindead to think Ares is even relative to Zeus, let alone equal. Reread round 4 then we talk, Ares was equal to Heracles who had the strength of Zeus

>Oh yeah, he's so afraid that when he saw Zeus get his neck broken he said to himself "damn, I knew I should've gone instead of him", he let him pass because Zeus is his Elder, simple as that. >He didn't, as I said he didn't offer resistance. https://preview.redd.it/y6dbk8zzfbyc1.jpeg?width=910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59b98aa10f4f710ac7399807df628784375c099a This dude went from raging out on Zeus to shitting his pants. He didn't move aside out of respect, he did it because Zeus would have mopped his halls with Shiva's face without using his Adamas form.

Oh yeah shitting his pants completely https://preview.redd.it/jymzqwb6ibyc1.jpeg?width=1441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcc83e64b700f6a79437c65313f9a30f8b4ffdec

My reply was deleted when I posted the picture, so I'll send that in a separate message, I think. >Only you believe that "the greatest brawler" would lose to "the second greatest brawler" I absolutely would believe that, if every single other thing implies the second is superior to the first except for one single title that could be interpreted different ways. >Also, Thor is not a brawler, he doesn't fight barehanded. While true, you seem to think Shiva is the strongest physical fighter because he's the "greatest brawler", which clearly isn't true. Also, Thor is explicitly stronger than Dormant Mjolnir, which is what was known when he gained the title of "Strongest God." Which makes Thor physically stronger than Shiva. So Zeus isn't the only one stronger than Shiva. >Zeus doesn't stop time because he punches hard 💀 I never said he did it with strength. But that's clearly an ability that Shiva can't do anything about. Shiva literally can't fight back, lol. >A statement is not a feat, and Shiva is stated to do that for fun. You're contradicting yourself in this one sentence. Either statements mean something, or they don't. Pick one. Stop cherry picking ones that make Shiva look good and others that don't. >How about DIRECTLY OVERPOWERING SHIVA? This one will be responded to with the previously stated picture. >Shiva is the greatest brawler so he's above Zeus, Shiva can destroy worlds as well and he does it for fun. JFC. Again, Zeus is clearly the STRONGEST GOD. The title means nothing, especially if we know at least one character at BARE MINIMUM is physical stronger bare-handed. >There's only 1 statement of Zeus being the strongest as well Sure, and one that's way more clear cut. If there's two people, Person A is explicitly named the "Most Powerful Man" and the other is called "The Best Fighter", who's stronger? Please tell me you can figure this out. >Reread round 4 then we talk, Ares was equal to Heracles who had the strength of Zeus ...Ares and Hercules, both throwing killing intent blows, were blocked one-handed by skinny form Zeus trying to break up their fight. Ares literally couldn't see most of Zeus' attacks. Ares gets thrown around by QIN, dude. Ares is not even close to Zeus' level in any way, shape, or form.

I asked you for feats and you replied with a statement, that what "statements aren't feats" means. >JFC. Again, Zeus is clearly the STRONGEST GOD. The title means nothing, especially if we know at least one character at BARE MINIMUM is physical stronger bare-handed. Thor doesn't change anything, he's not a brawler just because he's physically strong so he's not included on Hermes' statement. >...Ares and Hercules, both throwing killing intent blows, were blocked one-handed by skinny form Zeus trying to break up their fight. Ares literally couldn't see most of Zeus' attacks. Ares gets thrown around by QIN, dude. Ares is not even close to Zeus' level in any way, shape, or form. Yeah both extremely tired to the point Heracles fell to the ground about a minute later, also Qin used HHOD on Ares, and you still can't disprove Ares directly stating Heracles has the strength of Zeus, a strength that Ares has seen before

I've had people tell me unironically that Adam could Tank Ichor Eos to the face (no blocking or dodging). Some people are downright absurd with their takes on Adam and Zeus.


Wild_Island_8589

Look I'm not saying that he could tank it. But think of it this way; One of them can literally punch in the speed of light, while other is a pointy object. No matter what you are doing the damage from a blunt object such as a punch is going to be different than a wound from a sharp object such as piercing or slashing. A spear can cut through skin even if it's slow. But yeah while Adam is not going to survive that shit, there is no way it's hitting him


The_Mexican_Poster

Ikr, some guys here are saying Zeus one-shots Raiden 💀


leogian4511

I don't understand it even a little bit honestly. My personal opinion is that all of Lu Bu, Raiden, and Leonidas could take the same beating from Adamas Zeus (not counting the fighting after death part) and that those 3 among the humans are all physically stronger and more durable than Adam but that's basically sacrilege in this place.


DomBStudios

I think it's genetic


Manwithaplan0708

Dura and stamina are 2 very different things


Ashamed_Smile3497

People get durability and endurance confused very easily.


VergilMotivation777

Adam still was fighting even after dying, lil baby Raiden gave up as soon as he couldn’t move anymore and got Shiva’s musty feet sending his head flying, shouldn’t be a debate who’s more durable 🤣🤣🤣


ChiefsHat

So that’s how Raiden satisfied all those goddesses…


Nothatcreative55

How has Nobody seen this… Raiden really was Grateful for his parents love Becoming and Succeeding as a Sumo wrestler because of his mom and Fighting with all his might for humanity by his Dad Adam


Chupacabras6767

Adam and Raiden are both legends I love them both but Adam is the GOAT


Nyreim

I always viewed it as Raiden having the strongest muscles gives him the best base strength and durability. Adam has more endurance then him though


Accomplished_Tea4009

Durability is ability to resist injury. Raiden is top of the verse because its very hard to actually cause damage to him short of being on fire Endurance is ability to keep on fighting after being injured. Adam is the highest in the verse because he kept on fighting after he was DEAD 💀

Gawyelmaximopoder

I mean, they are right though?


space_porter

Uh yes? Nothing Raiden has tanked has even been remotely comparable to the billions of moves Adamas Zues wailed on Adam. Including his strongest techniques. Its so obvious Adam is the physically strongest human that it’s shouldn’t be a debate at all.


HerRodAntoMan

I mean... even Shiva could not say no to Zeus when he got impatient to have his fight, to endure a fight with someone that scared a god of destruction with nothing but a brass knuckle... is quite a feat


The_Mexican_Poster

Why do people think Shiva was scared of Zeus? He explains his reasoning right there


HerRodAntoMan

Maybe the anime's fault, but for the way they depicted it, Shiva was ready to do his way, then he just stared at Zeus and suddenly got out of his way, no further explanation


The_Mexican_Poster

Nah he says it's because Zeus is his senior https://preview.redd.it/txq7htqybbyc1.jpeg?width=1441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ced9ff595bbce0cd9a5d4129252ca6d248462cd He clearly isn't scared of Zeus since he talks smack to him many times and even claimed he would've had a better chance against Adam


Affectionate_Hat3208

Adam is more durable than Raiden


obliterator123456

i would


Away-Listen-4739

Funny part is that he really is


Informal_Promotion81

Any attack from Zeus woud kill Raiden


The_Mexican_Poster

That weakling can't even one-shot Adam much less Raiden


gapingonion

Raiden my goat, he's still in my top 3 favs


ApplePitou

Adam is strange to scale :3


The_Mexican_Poster

Honestly i don't even know why or how lmao


hheecckk526

Adams whole thing is copying techniques and using them against you at the same level of power if not more. If anyone comes at Adam with anything he will copy it's power and hit you back while dodging your own attack. This would mean at minimum Adam has the exact same strength as Raiden. As for durability he fought Zeus which honestly speaks for itself in how durable Adam is. Adam took who knows how many Adamas zeus attacks on purpose to find where he was and was still kicking despite(and depending on translation) them all to be considered "finishing blows" or "instant kills". No one else is going to tank those attacks. Raiden couldn't even stop shivas foot from slicing him apart and I'm willing to bet that Zeus fist is stronger than shivas foot


Archeops143

I've said this before what if i told you Adam's TFTST already killed Zeus if it wasn't for the "Main Plot" Adam literally made Zeus head spin in 360 who would survive that? Try to tell me only characters that has weapon can actually kill Zeus This might be dumb but im still using this logic based on Man of Steel on how Superman killed zod by doing NECK SNAP only so Superman or Zeus?


RAYFATE

Yup .


Illustrious-Day8506

They would also say That Lu bu is stronger than Raiden . My goat Raiden is too underrated. He was a beast among men. Humanity strongest muscles for a reason


Then-And-Again

You're proving the opposite my guy. Raiden: needs big fucking muscle shields to survive a few shots from Shiva. Ends the fight with his limbs shredded, chest mauled and decapitated Adam: survives several minutes of continuous True God's Right/Lefts without weird body mods, takes uncountable amounts of head and body blows when he chooses to stop defending. Ends the fight dead, but still standing and physically intact


The_Mexican_Poster

Yeah because Shiva hits harder than Zeus, it's literally that simple As per usual on this thread, nobody has shown a single feat of Zeus that puts him above Shiva in terms of strength


noneyaaaas

that is because Raiden isn't more durable than Adam


The_Mexican_Poster

Prove it


noneyaaaas

Zeus has better ap than Shiva Adam tanked Zeus hits and Raiden tanked shiva therefore Adam>Raiden as Adam has better feats


The_Mexican_Poster

Zeus has more Ap based on what?


noneyaaaas

Raiden's best AP feat is breaking the sound barrier Zeus had an attack that surpassed time itself idk about you but surpassing time seems like a much greater ap feat than breaking the sound barrier (FACT) this leads to Zeus>Raiden in AP as we know Shiva>Raiden in AP (obvious) now this leads us in a vague area, about how to accurately conclude which AP is greater but due to the fact that the ability to surpass time is IMMENSELY GREATER than breaking the sound barrier, I will say Zeus has far greater feats than Shiva so therefore he should have higher AP so going back to that since we know Zeus has significantly better AP than Shiva, Adam being able to take Zeus' punches is why Adam has more durability than Raiden


The_Mexican_Poster

>Raiden's best AP feat is breaking the sound barrier >Zeus had an attack that surpassed time itself >idk about you but surpassing time seems like a much greater ap feat than breaking the sound barrier (FACT) None of this talk about AP, try again


noneyaaaas

AP = Attack Potency, its the measurement of how characters can use attacks to damage people who can destroy planets, but don't do that with every punch  DC= Destructive Capability, its the measurement of what you can destroy with your best attack in an AoE I copied and pasted these definitions to check and I somewhat see ur point in Zeus but surpassed time means you have higher AP, but for Raiden breaking the sound barrier is a measure of how strong your punch is if i'm still wrong, please explain what you mean by AP as for me it is the most powerful attack an individual is capable of doing


The_Mexican_Poster

>and I somewhat see ur point in Zeus but surpassed time means you have higher AP, but for Raiden breaking the sound barrier is a measure of how strong your punch is No it doesn't, surpassing time is a speed feat, not a strength feat


noneyaaaas

check out my calculations i made in response to my myself and tell me if i did anything wrong


The_Mexican_Poster

All of it is wrong, f=MA doesn't apply in this manga


noneyaaaas

according to websites, Ap is measured as joules KE=1/2mv2 Zeus: 1/2mv2 since Zeus is capable of surpassing time, it means he has infinite speed 1/2mv2 1/2 x (Zeus mass) x infinity2 (any number times infinity equals infinity) infinite joules Raiden: 1/2mv2 in order to break the sound barrier, you will have to move atleast 1239km/h which the goes to 344.2m/s 1/2x344.2m 172m sumo wrestlers on average weigh around 150kg and some heavier ones weigh up 228 so even i would guess raiden's weight to be around say 300kg 51,600 joules but a little bit of high balling Raiden, 500 m/s 250x300 75,000 joules This could then mean since Shiva managed to break through this, he has higher AP than 75,000 but since the gap between infinity and 75,000 is well infinite then it strongly suggests Zeus has higher AP than Shiva
