What competence? He swings it, and that's all he needs to do with it.
Meliodas said that when his PL was 32500. Merlin said his PL is far above the others when again, Meliodas's PL was 32500 and at best it's 56000. In the recent chapter, she said he is still unrivaled after hearing of his feats. Prime Meliodas and Noon Escanor never fought.
Gowther had a PL of 3100 and Escanor's Spirit is most likely his weakest stat since Gowther was able to knock him out thanks to Merlin's Power Amplify.Ummm Gowther already tried to mind rape Escanor, and he used his full power by his own admission:
Needless to say that it didn't work. What you need to break free of Gowthers tricks is a high metal fortitude, and Escanor (day) has some of the best, if not the best mental fortitude in the series (kinda goes hand-in-hand with pride). Not to mention Escanor can outright blitz Gowther. I'm not seeing how Gowther would stand even a shred of a chance.
Merlin is capable of both. And her spells are not necessarily about raw power.
For some reason I totally forgot that Release would still work like that with a power up. And I believe that all the Sins will have a PL of 50K at least since the strongest Commandments and the respective opponents of King and Diane are that powerful. Maybe the increase won't be that high but if King is at 50K and use his Release, he will incredibly powerful. Gloxinia has a Spirit Spear too so shouldn't he have his own Release? It could explain why Nakaba decided to show him lose horribly against Meliodas.
There is no way Ban is going get a power level of 50K at most imo 10-15K. I think his body will be able to handle hunter fest & physical hunt in the future without side effects or caps but that's it.
Nothing says that the Demon mark boosted their PLs, so far he and Dolor fought like their original races and they can't heal their injuries with Demon powers. Even assuming it did, Diane and King are supposed to be able to rival them so it changes nothing. Gloxinia has 47K in Magic, King should have a Magic Power comparable to that at the very least.
Nakaba has showed us that demon blood or mark boost the user power level the example being Meliodas, Guila & Jericho. Guila & Jericho couldn't heal or anything like that they just fought like regular HKs with a power boost.
Mel temporarily entered his prime against Fraudrin as the latter noted so Merlin could have identified his PL.
Not only did Merlin amplify Gowthers power (by an unquantifiable amount) but she explicitely made Escanor lower his guard.
Merlin is most certainly NOT capable of casting infinitely powerful magic, that would entail being capable of universe busting power (the word infinite is not to be taken lightly).
Meliodas is not at prime yet the evidence being his demon mark and Merlin put away the Balor eye as soon as she said his power level is 60,000 there's no other way she could know Meliodas demon power level right now.
Well Fraudin did say "This...you are just like back then!", so yes, I belive that Meliodas has achived his power of way back then.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Glox's Spirit Spear is already released. Appearance wise, it shares that organic look that Chastiefol's true form has.
The problem with saying Demon Mark not complete = Meliodas not at full strength is that your saying that he's weaker here:
I'm not trying 2 argue cause you could be right but this picture right here looks the same as the first one this is just a better angle at Meliodas without his hair blocking it like in the second picture.The problem with saying Demon Mark not complete = Meliodas not at full strength is that your saying that he's weaker here:
Then he is here :
Because the Mark is clearly more full in the 2nd instance then the first.
Seeing as those two instances happened like 5 chapters apart, and he didn't die in between can you explain why would he be more powerful in the 2nd instance then the first?
To me it makes more sense that nakaba is using the mark as a measurement for us to gauge his corruption rather then his power.
He was clearly more evil/angry vs. Fraudrin then Monspiet and Derririe probably because of Liz and danafor, hence slightly more corrupted, hence the mark almost complete.
And it validates fraudrin's comment that what he has now is what he had 3000 years ago with the mark active.
Now there could be a difference in extra power provided between the half filled in form, and the almost complete form, but it's impossible to tell because all his opponents were too weak.
But however strong he is I hope nobody's expecting him to get another like 50k increase, when it's complete if he's still not at full strength.
Whatever he showed vs Fraudrin was clearly just short of it, if not all of it, with the emotion stealing just not fully complete so the king can be revived.
Prob on Gloxinia's level or higher, plus Nakaba said he's weaker from leaving the FKF for so many years

Idk Merlin clearly said the more he dies the more his emotions get devoured and he becomes more like his old selfThe problem with saying Demon Mark not complete = Meliodas not at full strength is that your saying that he's weaker here:

Which bears the question of how powerfull the Goddess will be...
Nice catch. Maybe getting tuned with nature via dance also strenghs them. And vice versa, kinda of like a symbiotic relationship.

Hopefully not too OP, I never liked OP villains, it forces the author to pull stuff out of thin air just to make the characters stand a chance or win a battle
Do you happen to remember where this was said? I've seen this a couple times and don't remember the source.
It was in one of the question quote thingy, it was never answered in the manga but he answered it in a question I think
