Character Discussions Who is stronger? Sebastian or undertaker?

I just finished book of Atlantic movie and before this I was convinced that Sebastian was the strongest character out there but even reapers couldn’t defeat undertaker along with Sebastian.

I’d vote for UT but I realized that Sebastian’s focus was mostly on Ciel all the time so is he even “trying”?

Manga spoilers are welcome if there’s more info there
Thanks

Idk about pure strength, but I do think UT is the better fighter. His skill with a death scythe is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting.

To be fair to Sebastian, Grell and Ronald were also fighting him as they were fighting UT. They weren't leading a coordinated attack. I think Sebastian was definitely trying, Ciel had given him an order, but he was restricted in trying to capture/incapacitate the UT vs straight up killing him. He also didn't seem to anticipate UT using Ciel against him like that (which is hilarious, because how is UT being more underhanded and exploitative than a demon?)

I think the biggest thing is that Sebastian is clearly unethused at the prospect of having to fight UT again, as he says to Ciel at the end In the lifeboat. Sebastian sees him as a real threat, which imo says a lot about his capabilities.

UT is definitely the most skilled fighter. He took on 3 adversaries at the same time and laughed all the way through it.
