Not true, after noon he's still going to be strong enough to make all of the commandments shit their pants, probably just not strong enough to kill Estarossa.
You don't realize how weak he becomes when there's no sun. He's currently at his strongest, noon -peak of the sun, so if they some odd way get the better of him now then he losses terribly. And then if there's some way to block the sun, he may weaken as well. Escanor is very extreme, either op or weak. Also remember that all of the sins where picked to beat the commandments, so this shouldn't be going so in favor of the commandments. And then apparently that was escanor strongest attack at his peak, so things aren't really going good if he can't kill with that.
Good analisis. Yes. Escanor has about 30 or so more minutes of peak power. After that, its down hill once again until, during the night, he becomes the weakling we know him to be.
Extremely powerful or weak, as you said, though there's absolutely no way that the author is going to let them kill Escanor off at a power level of 15 and I'm pretty sure that as long as it's day time he's more than a match for any of the commandments, whether it's 6:30 or noon. And I know that the Sins were literally picked to beat the commandments but to be honest, Escanor can wipe the floor with each and every single one of them. I just hope the author finds some way to weaken him or possibly get rid of him down the line, he's already done more than enough.
That's true. I don't think even Ban and the others knew where he was because when he landed Howzer didn't even know who he was. Also another question to ask his how did the commandments not sense his power levels every time it became noon?
His power fluctuates with the sun, so there is a difference between noon and 6:30, a very large difference. Furthermore the sins may beat a commandment one vs one, but the commandments outnumber them. So they need to be winning one vs one, in order for this to not be a one sided massacre. On top of that, escanor has been the only one to actually prove a fight against the commandments bar melodias, who did not want to fight multiple commandments at the same time. Captain's fight before showed him keeping both commandments away from each other to keep it in his favor. It also seems like both melidoas and escanor are fighting at full power to end the battle early yet that's not working enough. They need more power to be honest, and escanor should not be killed. On top of the power difference between the sins and commandments, the commandments have their curses or whatnot which are game changers.
I figure certain sins can ignore the commandments curses or whatnot but I don't know how that will work if multiple commandments fight, and I believe they usually travel in groups. Then there's the issue of Gowther and melidious father.
Pretty certain the author is setting up just how much of a challenge Meliodas is going to have with Estarossa. Shoenen law basically dictates that Estarossa will somehow survive this outcome as Meliodas is the one that has to kill him. As such, the author may be showing us just what sheer power Escanor has, and even that may not be enough to defeat the Commandments entirely, especially once they figure out Escanor's power peaks at noon, then drops.
The difference between 6:30 and noon certainly would be huge, but if a "pseudo-transformation" put Escanor at a little bit below 30k, I'm sure that he's still strong at that time. And right now there's 7 commandments left since Estarossa has been burned to ashes, probably, at least it says so. Escanor and Meliodas honestly don't need more power, the rest of the Sins do, maybe except for Gowther and possibly Ban.
I do believe this partial transformation is his full power launched in one attack. I could be wrong and we'll see if estarosa is alive next chapter. Sorry I meant the other sins need a power upgrade, because they seem to be lacking somewhat. Gowther I believe is a commandment so he's probably stronger as well. I do agree that other people need some screen time to display their skills/power.
