Let's not create any needless excuses for either character. Personally, I believe Meliodas is more powerful and I believe this fight and the following chapter only confirms this belief and I do agree that he lost the battle against Escanor, but let's not act like Escanor was the only one NOT using his sacred treasure's power.

The sacred treasures are deemed this way because of their SPECIAL ABILITIES, not simply because they are weilded by a sin. Without using the sacred treasure's special skill they are nothing more than high quality weapons. Meliodas went the ENTIRE battle without using Lostvayne's special ability Jitsuzō Bunshin which would most certainly have given him an advantage. ESPECIALLY when Escanor transformed into "The One."

Also, I agree, Meliodas lost the battle, but he DEFINITELY won the war as he was good to go shortly after being taken into the boar hat. As a matter of fact, he was so ready that Merlin HAD TO place another perfect cube around him in order to feel TRULY safe AND he has taken 78% damage while giving 98% in return against a fighter who LITERALLY had to use YEARS OF POWER in order to defeat him MOMENTARILY.

I agree that it doesn't matter how many times he knocked down Escanor, it only mattered who was left standing, but let's not ignore the facts suggesting that it would be almost impossible for Escanor to repeat this feat in a full on head to head battle.

Escanor wanted to prove that he was the most powerful member amongst the sins, but I believe that this fight only served to support Meliodas's claim to this title. Seeing as Escanor (his most difficult fight prior to this one) was equal/greater to the power he achieved around when he was at 114,000, but Meliodas made him a footstool until he was able to use his peak power for a minute.

Can you truly say, without ANY hesitation or doubt that the power Escanor demonstrated FOR 1 MINUTE that he IS NOT/WILL NOT be able to replicate for an extended period of time makes him more powerful than the person who was LITERALLY using him for entertainment despite his greatest efforts before that?
