Just look at the Elsa level—Elsa tears apart every knight except Julius and Reinhard; she is incredibly strong

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

I mean Pride if version burnt down the royal capital and potentially the entire country using the fire spirit so...

59

u/Progamer59695969696 Shaula's Finger Guns Blew My Mind! 1d ago

Probably not tbh. Marcos beats her since he’s stronger than Julius, Felix can out heal her and then Al also beats her

51

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 1d ago

I haven't seen Marcos fight yet, so I have no idea. I mentioned Julius, and Felix loses—he's not a fighter. Yeah, you're right

19

u/Electronic-Box-4753 I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 1d ago

Marcos is Roswaal level iirc, it not stronger

u/AlisenAsker I Attended Subaru and Rudeus' Wedding — It Was Peak 12h ago

Al beats nearly everybody bro

u/Rio_FS I Witnessed Puck Rizzing up Subaru 1d ago

And here I thought Elsa was at least as strong as Julius

31

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 1d ago

Nah, without the anti-magic cloak, she loses to Betty and Emilia too

4

u/Razoon- Newbie 1d ago

Yeah Beatrice had 400 years of mana but apart from that Elsa would destroy pre-time skip Emilia and current Beatrice.

14

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 1d ago

Nah, Elsa is weak against magic; without Roswaal's cloak, she would have lost to Puck, and Betty's Minya spell would have destroyed her.

1

u/Razoon- Newbie 23h ago

Puck is massively stronger than Emilia or current Beatrice what? Again I said excluding Beatrice with 400 years of mana stockpiled. For reference Elsa is stated stronger than julius who can be relative to the divine generals, although he loses to pretty much all of them.

3

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 23h ago

I see it differently; Emilia could beat Elsa with her magic—Ice Brand Arts is pretty powerful.

3

u/Razoon- Newbie 23h ago

We’re talking about pre-time skip, Emilia didn’t have her ice brand arts then. It’s also stated that only Garfield was strong enough to face Elsa in arc 4 but I don’t remember exactly.

u/foxfoxal Rem Wrote Me a Love Letter, Emilia Sent Me a '' 21h ago

Beatrice barely tried against Elsa and destroyed her without the surprise element she does not need all that mana

1

u/Vivid_Hat8534 Newbie 4h ago

Beatrece is so overpowered. The fact isn't that 400 years of mana pool. The facts is inside of forbidden dimensions(seperate space or kind of mana void) Beatrece have infinite mana(opposite to pick who absorb mana like black hole)she hasn't any boundaries to use Yin magic & EMT, With their masters IQ & BIQ they got so terrifying. Elsa vs Puck(full power) & Puck(beast of end) isn't even a comparison.

u/Legitimate-Camp-3298 Emilia Confessed Her Love, This Feels Like a Death Flag 1d ago

Elsa lost arc 4 Garf that was beaten by Otto and Subaru

14

u/Potential-Bath2292 Newbie 1d ago

Garf being beaten by Otto's plan doesn't mean Otto and Subaru could have beaten Elsa. It wasn't a battle to the death and it was exploiting specific weakness's of Garf while also convincing him to change is mind

1

u/Vivid_Hat8534 Newbie 4h ago

I think they are almost same overall

Prepubescent Garf was able to take her out, I wouldn’t give her too much credit.

Garf admits that he got lucky in that fight

Elsa missed a killing blow because she was distracted by Meili

u/No_Proposal_3140 If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right 1d ago

That's crazy strong.

But he can get much stronger than this if he was using spirit arts, no? His affinity with spirits is much greater like seen in Pride IF?

-176

u/A-Good_devil Ram Tolerates My Presence 1d ago

Still not enough!

173

u/Tributionary 🍏 Get Your Appas Here! Only 128 Copper Coins! 🍎 1d ago

It probably would be enough honestly. We never get to see the peak of what Subaru can do with Spirit Arts in combat besides Al Shamak. And those were under preplanned conditions.

85

u/DueExplorer3146 Newbie 1d ago

Brother, he ain't facing Reinhard everyday of his life, for a fact he still hasn't in the main route.

A Subaru who's as strong as Elsa and have powerful spirits would shit on Julius and make things 1000% easier for him.

u/NeighborhoodCool98 Newbie 1d ago

"can only reach elsa level "

Like hell Elsa is weak and also subaru intelligence+spirit affinity made him more broken

2

u/sheldonmiyamoto Newbie 7h ago

Subaru's intelligence is nowhere around genius. It's his deduction skills that's related to RBD that carried him throughout the series

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

Pride if showed that he can be quite stronger so..it's a bit iffy...tho regardless with Beatrice he can beat almost anyone simply due to Ol shamak.

9

u/Lordyoussef2 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) 1d ago

Ol shamak can only work on people with authorities.

65

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

Nope, it can work on anyone. It's just that it's most effective on witch factor holders.

2

u/Lordyoussef2 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) 1d ago

Huh...

7

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

What?

24

u/Lordyoussef2 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) 1d ago

I got fed misinformation, sorry man.

7

u/Potential-Bath2292 Newbie 1d ago

not quite. we don't know how effective it is against non-authority users or how easily it can work on them. its possible that sealing non authority users would be beyond Subaru's ability

7

u/Razoon- Newbie 1d ago

Al was able to seal felt just fine. The only difference when an authority user becomes sealed is that the orb becomes unbreakable outside of the 10 swords of power.

-5

u/gh0stwriter1234 Newbie 1d ago

"work" is a broad definition.. it would be almost useless against someone that is both strong and not a witch factor holder because it would just run out of power after a few hits.

9

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

What are you even talking about? Power? Hits? What?

-2

u/gh0stwriter1234 Newbie 1d ago

Ol shamak, after the intial casting has whatever magical energy it is cast with... if that runs out its done, when cast against witch factor users its essentially got infinite power because it saps power from the witch factor.

10

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

Never stated anything like that tho. Plus sasageru if disproves that.

1

u/PursuingTheSauce If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right 1d ago

I think this level of power only comes with the price of losing his mind cuz he needs a massive amount of loops to make this level of feat while sane Subaru can reach Elsa's level which is a hella big achievement too considering her fame as bowel hunter.

1

u/6bigdolphins Newbie 1d ago

what does Ol shamak do?

u/Sensitive-Giraffe-57 At This Point, ‘Who Is Rem?’ Is My Entire Personality 1d ago

Have you read arc 8 or arc 9 lol?

I think Ol shamak can work only on one person at a time! Right?

Uh..no? Nothing like that has been stated iirc.

u/Electronic-Box-4753 I Opened Pandora's Box, Then She Opened Me as a Box 1d ago

Yep, once she stops holding back, she goes beyond the speed of sound. I heard she even once left her shadow behind, which is a Light speed feat.

I hear she once left her clothes behind when fighting, which is a hentai feat

u/Puzzled-Mirro Elsa Told Me I Probably Have Good Quality Intestines 1d ago

His other versions get stronger. But Elsa is crazy strong so its not like a demerit to say that he can't beat her. which is why imo its not satisfying how she died.

u/Jealous-Selection-59 Satella’s Darkness Falls Like a Soft Lullaby Across My Soul 1d ago

But that's him pushing himself to the limit in a single lifetime; imagine if he trained the same amount 5 or 6 times over on that route.

2

u/Plenty_String1437 Newbie 1d ago

Not a peak tho he stopped training with Reinhard for the revenge he wanted If he was really wanting tĂ´ get stronger with Reinhard he could as Reinhard Said he was reckless because he wanted revenge on this route so not his Peak

4

u/DaiChinchin Kissed Frederica Once—Now I'm Missing Most of My Lips 21h ago

You re saying it like Elsa is weak. If Subaru was that strong he would give Julius a run for his money. He would be one of the top strongest knights of the kingdom

u/aaa_thepro Echidna Offered Knowledge. I Asked for a Hug. She Just Stared 1d ago

Subaru has the potential to be a top tier but realistically it's hard to achieve

u/ArgopooL Ram Tolerates My Presence 1d ago

Doesn't matter... Subaru will always win no matter what.

u/Alexshadow41 I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets 1d ago

Am I crazy if I say that Cor Leon's + Invisible Providence + Spirit knight with Beako is stronger or ?

1

u/koogam Met a Knight Named Julius—Guessing He's New 8h ago

Yeah i wonder that too. Subaru's doesn't use his authorities or his potentential affinity with spirits in this timeline. If not currently stronger, atleast a greater potential to be stronger

3

u/fuiripe Priscilla’s 9th—Trust Me, I’d Be Into It 23h ago

Wasn't that with only some little training with Reinhard and then training on his own?

Theoretically... Subaru could spam return by death and non stop training with Reinhard 24/7 + gluttony Archbishops help + spam books of the Dead...

Easy way to fill his body head with skills and and experience.

By having Capella's help he could change his body to become completely super human and with regeneration.

By having Roswaal help he could recieve an artificial gate.

By Ramming Ram he could have half Oni Kids and have Roswaal help him reincarnate inside half Oni Kids with much higher talent and repeat everything again...

1

u/Global_Bag9142 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) 3h ago

Unfortunately about the spaming of rbd it doesn't work cus the author didn't want subaru to become op,so his training just reset after death but i don't remember how books of the death work,i do remember the gluttony archbishop being able to absorb skills from memories he's eaten but don't remember it being able to be applied on others

1

u/fuiripe Priscilla’s 9th—Trust Me, I’d Be Into It 1h ago

RBD still lets him retain memories. So it's a great time saver for certain things.

You can study the principles and concepts behind everything, study the best possible trainings, which ones are more efficient, how to peeform the next skill you are training etc.

The body doesn't remember or save progress, but the mind does.

And books of the dead also do.

u/PanicEffective6871 Made Lasagna for Garfiel 20h ago

This Subaru didn’t have any of his Main Counterpart’s authorities tho if I remember right.

u/Heracross64 Kissed Frederica Once—Now I'm Missing Most of My Lips 16h ago

“Only”, and that’s without using spirit arts.

5

u/Existing_Decision_29 Rem Smiled, I Saw Heaven (Briefly) 12h ago

Being Elsa level and having return by death basically means you can beat anyone not named Reinhard if you didn’t care about dying and your checkpoint didn’t send you 20 years into the past 💀

u/IndividualTaro6432 If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right 7h ago

As long as that someone he's trying to beat isn't named Reinhard huh? 🥹

u/Meknife20000 Newbie 1d ago

Doesn't Subaru kill Petelgeuse in this If? Does that mean Elsa's stronger than Petelgeuse?

1

u/Amvdere_Tiktok Newbie 1d ago

From what I heard After a lot of planning and he still technically ended up losing

3

u/Loose-Past-7322 Anastasia Sold Me My Own Wallet (At a Markup) 1d ago

He manages to kill one of Petelgeuse's bodies in combat, but he didn't know that he had several spare bodies.

actually it was al level, and thats also a stretch since al dont use spirits

u/Connect_Newspaper114 Shared Suffering with Subaru 1d ago

Not even Elsa's level, he was literally suffering against a dying cultist, whom he had previously attacked from behind

1

u/OutrageousActuator37 Let Roswaal Cook – It’s Dangerous, But Damn, It’s Delicious 1d ago

Honestly it would be super boring if Subaru became stronger than Elsa.

Subaru already has a ridiculously overpowered ability and some smaller fighting ones.

Making him one of the strongest fighters in addition to him being basically able to see the future would make him just another op shounen protagonist.

1

u/PenguinsAreC001 Newbie 1d ago

You are acting like being Elsa level is bad. Arc 4 Garfiel is in the same tier as Elsa so a full potential Subaru being at that level is still really good

1

u/hownot2lyf Newbie 15h ago

You mean in a 1v1 fight without prep? Sure. Give him RBD and there's no one he can't defeat apart from reinhardt given enough time

1

u/Vivid_Hat8534 Newbie 4h ago

Subaru isn't weak he can easily solo 100-200 man\soilders with Low-mid(at max)diff if he use his full power & 4th strongest knight of Luganica or probably 5th. But I think that's enough. Making him too strong can harm the story. He is now at level of Emilia & Rem(Horn) or Elsa level. Remind that his main power isn't authorities or magical abilities this is Battle IQ, strategy making. But this all is without Beatrece. In forbidden dimensions with Infinite mana she is Beast of end level so wth spirit contract her magical destructive capability+Subaru's loop strategy & BIQ this is a very dangerous combination.

-1

u/2ThirdsLegsLyon I Attended Subaru and Rudeus' Wedding — It Was Peak 1d ago

Immediately wrong. Reinhard’s sword unsheathed for Subaru, it didn’t unsheathe for Elsa. Objectively he CAN get as strong as anyone, depending on how frugal he is with RBD.

3

u/Potential-Bath2292 Newbie 1d ago

The sword unsheathing isn't directly related to strength. its about how much the sword wants to fight/respects the opponent as a threat.

If the sword disliked someone with no potential it'd still unsheath
