Talk:Naoto Kurogane vs Tatsumi/@comment-32550145-20171127024021

I think Tatsumi was downplayed a hell of a lot. I mean, it depends on which version you're going with, and even still you'd have to downplay him for his loss. Hell you don't even have the one thing he's best known for- putting a giant hole through Shikoutazer, the (arguably) strongest Imperial Arms (Teigu) in the entire story (I say story because I prefer the Manga over the Anime). Not to mention his ability to force Incursio to evolve, something that NO ONE who had owned Incursio had ever been able to do. Whether they needed to or not is a different matter, nor do we really know whether they needed to.

In the manga, Tatsumi has more impressive feats. He held his own against the mental struggle between himself and Tyrant WHILE fighting Esdeath in a newly transformed body- one that was the size of at least a small house, has tagged Esdeath multiple times and even evolved to not be bothered by her frozen atomosphere (her Teigu attacks and trump cards), and had enough brute force to destroy the remains of a rather large and sturdy building. By this logic, and the fact that Tatsumi can continue to evolve as far as I know, he would have won. I think it's underestimated how strong the AgK characters are when at their peak, especially in the case of the anime, as it deviated from the manga and doesn't show Tatsumi using as much power as he does in the manga, where Esdeath freezes almost a country and a half and still has the power to take on five teigu users and I think over five thousand footsoliders.
