Callouts:

Penny for your thoughts on this battle? For those interested in this battle but doesn't know about one of the characters, here are Stain's, Askeladd's, Thorfinn's & Thorkell's Reddit respect threads for anyone interested in this battle.

I think the team has the necessary strength to harm and/or kill stain, on the other hand, I don't think any of them have the rapid movement he has. Stain only needs one cut to immobilize any of them.

So three above average dudes against a superhuman who hunts other superhumans for a living? Great.

@valorknight: Everyone here is fairly Superhuman

Not really. I've read their manga, and none of them have done anything that would push them into the realm of an actual superhuman.

Based on what I'm hearing Stain slaughters them all.

@valorknight said:

All of them have.

@jashugan: Yeah, none of that is superhuman to the level that I was referencing (that being the level that Stain operates on).

@valorknight: So you're wrong then since all of that is superhuman. I never claimed they we're as Superhuman as My Hero Academy characters. This is Superhuman enough to harm and/or Kill Stain.

I am not, as I was talking about superhumans on the level of those in the opposing series whether I made that clear or not (I thought it would be obvious considering that they're fighting someone who I referenced already in my comment, but whatever). I also disagree with their ability to kill Stain, but I doubt I'll change your mind with how ridiculously biased you are towards anything you personally think isn't good.

@valorknight: It's not obvious. Being Superhuman is a rather general term. They have the general strength to severely harm stain, if they we're as fast as him they could take him with some difficulty, but they're not.

I'm biased, you say? Did you ignore the first response post on this thread where I pretty much said Stain would win?

You'd need to be biased to think that any of them could take Stain out if we were to disregard the speed difference.

@valorknight: a 3 v 1 with three highly skilled superhuman warriors vs a lesser skilled superhuman villian with an interesting power. If the Vinland Saga squad was as fast as Stain, I would back them, they know how to fight better than him while they all tend to be well armored for their time period.

Even with speed equalized, they still don't have what it takes to win despite being a bit more skilled.

@valorknight: I personally don't care about taking a speed equalized debate forward since that isn't what the thread is about nor what I said.

You literally said that you think they would win without the speed difference, but whatever.

@valorknight: They would, but that's irrelevant to the debate at hand since they aren't as fast as him. I'm not going to ask the OP to change the thread or make a stupid speed equalized rule or make these characters faster than they are.

@jashugan: You went from this:

that isn't what the thread is about nor what I said

To this:

They would

Seems legit to me. In any case, I've said what I wanted to, so I'm done.

@valorknight: them winning another hypothetical battle has nothing to do with this specific thread
