    Re: Thoughts about the : Chimera ant arc

    In the chart Biscuit made, E (the weakest guy) has no chance of beating D (the strongest guy) even if D is at his worst and E is at his strongest.

  2. [Question] Re: SPOILER : How did the Ants get so strong ?

    It's well-known that small insects can lift many times of their weight. If a human can do that it'd be like you lifting a car. So ignoring the fact that insects normally aren't human sized, if...
