Is Guy Crimson Stronger Than Diablo? A Definitive Expert Verdict
As a long-time enthusiast of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime closely tracking the dizzying power levels of Rimuru‘s allies and adversaries, this is a crossover battle that electrifies the imagination.
Based on all current information in both anime and manga, we can conclusively say that Guy Crimson still retains the edge over Diablo in overall power and 1v1 matchup potential. However, the gap may be slowly closing with Diablo‘s continued evolution.
Table of Known Abilities
Below is a data table consolidating all currently known and demonstrated techniques, amplified skills, and metrics around destructive capacity for both DM-class combatants:
| Ability | Guy Crimson | Diablo |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Power Threshold | At least Country Level via scaling | At least City Level via feats |
| Battle Techniques | – Primordial Demon Physiology – Expert swordsmanship – Fire attacks | – Primordial Demon Physiology – Dark magic – Multiple weapon mastery |
| Skills/Titles | – 10 Ultimate Skills incl. "Myriad Worlds" | – Multiple Extra Skills |
| Notable Wins | – Fought Milim to draw | – Defeated Ultima in spar |
| Notable Losses | None observed yet | None observed yet |
| Power Boosts | – Patronage of Patroni | – Named by Rimuru |
Battle Feats and Scaling
Both demons have dominated their respective contests of power so far, but Guy Crimson‘s feats prove more impressive in scale.
He stalemated Milim in three day battle that scarred the landcape, demonstrating at least country-level capacities. Diablo‘s wins against the primordials and outpacing Ultima fall short of this threshold.
Guy also wields "Myriad Worlds" which grants spatial manipulation abilities — allowing potentially unavoidable attacks. This tips 1v1 matchups further in his favor against Diablo‘s more conventional magical assaults.
And while Diablo has much combat experience, Guy‘s expertise over 20 demon lords renders this less an advantage.
The Rimuru Factor
An argument can be made for Diablo gaining rapidly in strength under Rimuru‘s tutelage compared to Guy‘s independently plateaued growth curve.
As a named follower, Diablo intrinsically benefits from his master‘s ascension up the metaphysical ladder. And Rimuru himself could lend direct aid in any Guy vs Diablo grudge match through skill lending.
However, these are temporarily balancing effects that fail to override Guy‘s baseline higher stats. A skills-equalized scenario still sees Crimson ahead.
Verdict
In summary, Guy Crimson is decisively ahead of Diablo currently in their respective power growth timelines by every metric — but the in-universe future remains unwritten. Their next confrontation may tell a very different story pending the outcome of Rimuru‘s adventures in the mystical arts.
For now though, anyone dreaming of the ultimate demon throwdown should bet their coins on Guy!
