C3 taking prep? Where did you get that idea? It took a gigantic amount of Sand for Gaara to completely tank it. Sasori can't generate that much Satetsu. Not to mention that Deidara can simply utilize some clever C1 to destroy 3rd Kazekage; centipede and the like. Sasori can't sense chakra, so if Deidara distracts him in the air it'll work.
I've recently considered; C4 is simply a large cloud of nano-bombs. Wouldn't it be possible to simply detonate them once they settle on the opponent's skin?
I'm siding with Sasori if this is IC. Deidara has been shown to be unprepared with his clay. Sasori can fly as well, in addition to block every attack Deidara has. Deidara's eye is made of metal, magnetism would end. Sasori's IS could pierce the sound barrier, it is plausible Deidara could fail to dodge. All in all, Sasori is more prepared, can block everything Deidara has to offer, can fly as well, will outlast stamina wise and can end via magnetism.
So everyone is going to ignore Deidaras own admission of inferiority? Deidara would not admit to be weaker than Sasori of one of his big moves could end him. C3 can be countered by Sasoris Iron Sand.
& he may have other options as well. In the manga he did not use Two of his scrolls.. Keep that in mind.
100 Puppet technique is also enough to end Deidara. Deidara wont fend 100 Puppets aimed at him off without receiving one scratch, which would be enough to end him.
Sasori is also ranked higher overall in the Data-books.
And anyone who says Deidaras own admission does not have to be true is obviously being completely unfactual. What more does it take when it comes to facts, to decide who is stronger, when the 1 character claims inferiority himself? He would not say that, if it was not true.
Sasori wins. It would be a rather comfortable match for him imo.
- Deidara has no way to completely avoid the barrage of needles shot through Hiruko. He could hide behind his clay bird to avoid frontal attacks, but Hiruko's mechanics go further than that. (

Deidara with IS as well.
- C4 is useless for obvious reasons and C0 ends in a draw, but i don't see that happening before Deidara gets taken down.
And what's the point of going against what was established in the manga, by the author:

In the databook it says it holds enough power to "destroy an entire village" (sorry for no scan, i'm kinda of in a hurry now), but that doesn't mean it has enough power to destroy an hidden village.

is the total explosion radius. Its not Sunagakure sized and much less Konoha sized.
Gaara's sand tanked the explosion effortlessly, IS having similar (if not better) properties should be able to replicate this feat just fine. Especially if Sasori isn't caught in the epicenter of the explosion.
Lastly, ST > C3, its not comparable.
Even if Sasori didn't have a method to protect himself, i don't see Deidara surviving past Hiruko seeing as he doesn't have the means to avoid such barrage of needles or counter attack in time.
The Third Kazekage Puppet would not be destroyed. One Iron World would be enough to take out Deidara if he decides to fly and tries to attack mid-air. All the Pillars would close him in, even if they did not directly pierce through, they would form a cage of some sort. All Sasori would have to do then is send the Third Kazekage instantly towards Deidara (Deidara would not be able to take out the Puppet in close-range like Sakura did).
Also, if you disagree? There will always be the 100 Puppets. You think Deidara could fend off 100 Puppets? If all of them only aimed for him specifically, one source, one target, coming from all radiuses. You believe Deidara would be able to destroy all without getting scratched at least once?
Data-books, Deidaras own admission & clear logic tells you Sasori wins.
