A Clash of Champions: Goku Ultra Instinct vs Meliodas

The eternal debate reignites: in a fight between Goku Ultra Instinct and Meliodas Escanor, who would emerge as the victor? The answer, as we shall explore, is not as straightforward as it might seem, despite the clear disparity in their power levels.

The Unfavorable Scenario for Meliodas

From a purely numerical standpoint, Goku Ultra Instinct towers above Meliodas Escanor. Even at the peak of his Sun Moment, Escanor falls significantly short in terms of raw stats. Additionally, Goku's vast experience and advanced skills put him at a considerable advantage. However, this isn't the only factor in play. When we introduce Goku Ultra Instinct (UI), the situation changes dramatically.

Goku Ultra Instinct in Action

One cannot underestimate the power of Goku Ultra Instinct. In a single punch, Goku could obliterate Meliodas. The sheer destructive capability of Goku is such that he can destroy entire galaxies with ease. This is not just hyperbole; it reflects the vast difference in their power scales. While Meliodas operates on a continental level, Goku is a universal phenomenon.

A Strategic Encounter

Even with these advantages, Goku's approach to combat remains methodical and strategic. Fans of the Nanatsu no Taizan suggest that Meliodas could potentially use a 'Full Counter' against Goku. However, the reality of combat is that Goku's speed and agility render such strategies virtually impossible to execute successfully. If the Full Counter were to work, Goku would begin by setting the terms of the engagement.

To reduce his opponent's defenses, Goku might use two Ki blasts to first distract Meliodas and then deal a fatal blow. Alternatively, a surprise attack, such as a rapid hit or an instant transmission, could catch Meliodas off guard and eliminate him.

The Improbable Scenario for Meliodas

Despite the overwhelming power difference, there is a possibility that Meliodas, with his Haxes and Star-level abilities, could best Goku. However, this scenario would be highly unlikely and could be considered a theoretical possibility rather than a practical one.

The power scalings in the Nana Taisetsu (Nanatsu no Taizan) universe are largely unknown, but it is clear that Meliodas, even at the height of his power, does not reach the level of Light Saga (LS). On the other hand, Goku's speed far exceeds mere trillions of times the speed of light. MUI (Multi-Universal Instant) Goku moves faster than even the most rapid attacks can hope to keep up with.

A Final Decision

After careful consideration, I must lean towards the conclusion that Goku would win. While Meliodas' defenses and strategic intellect are formidable, Goku's speed, agility, and overall power make him virtually impossible to pin down. Even if Meliodas manages to land a hit, Goku's rapid movements would allow him to evade subsequent attacks with ease.

Conclusion

While it is entirely possible for Meliodas to surprise Goku and perhaps achieve a victory, the probability of this happening is extremely low. The reality is that Goku Ultra Instinct would emerge the clear victor due to his overwhelming power and strategic advantages.
