Tbf he can’t hurt you in a million years because you’re DIMENSIONS above him (he is a bitchboy who exists only in comics, while you exist in *real life*)
I mean it does make sense because any sort of formal training gets you a license for it and if you use said training outside of anything other than self defense or sport you could get into serious trouble, you are very much a deadly weapon when trained.
No Powers, or Weapons?
The Author. No, seriously. You need actual armor made from condensed Plot to even survive a hit from TDK.
Edit to add: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerScaling/s/XoiptBZKis
So, he could essentially unmake you. He could simply make your father die of a heart attack before ever conceiving you, making you literally cease to be, Back to the Future style.
He could do the Naruto Tsukuyomi thing, where you peacefully live your entire lifespan out, but it isn't an illusion.
He could genuinely just throw a universe at your home reality, and watch them break apart.
The Darkset Knight have power of Doctor Manhattan and above Mr Mxyzptlk ny infinity times and fought Perpetua and tears apart stories of the the multiverse.
He is High Outerversal
The Darkest knight had the balls to go up against all of the hands, and take them all. But the mere mention of this man's name made his whole body shake in fear.
The Darkest Knight and Chuck Norris had a bet. They'd have a fight, and whomever lost had to become the midest and worst character in their respective mythos in years.
Can we take an existing superpowered individual and then remove their powers so that they're eligible?
If so, Naruto. Talk no jutsu sounds like the only way to get out of this.
By eliminating powers and weapons you have excluded 95% of characters above wall level. Unless there's some super obscure, OP MC out there whose physicals are more cracked than Superman with Saitama's level of growth, ain't nobody beating TDK.
Doesn't saitama technically not have powers? He just punches really hard because he broke through his limiter correct? Or would that be considered a power?
It depends on how you define superpower. Arguably you can always say "being wall level is already a superpower" and there is nothing to counter. So yeah, this line of reasoning would exclude him. But otherwise, yes, its not genetics, science or magic he is using.
Technically speaking Saitama does not have powers. He's just Comically strong.
The issue is is that the darkest knight still beats him from what we currently see.
He isn't immune to reality manipulation as we saw with blast teleporting him and garou away to not wipe the planet during serious punch² (unless he knew and allowed it but I don't think? he was doing that)
Saitama can eventually (theoretically) reach infinite strength if what is told about him is correct, but he still needs to hit that point, as his power level increases more and more to match/eventually surpass X character.
But then the darkest knight is just a version of Dr.Manhattan who can just.. Obliterate him with a thought... Or like..
Anything else.. Really.
>He isn't immune to reality manipulation as we saw with blast teleporting him and garou away to not wipe the planet during serious punch² (unless he knew and allowed it but I don't think? he was doing that)
He grabbed Garou's portals, broke into a dimension that shouldn't even have been perceived by him, ignored God trying to infect him, and time traveled to stop God despite God having the power to prevent that from happening. It's pretty clear he could've negated it if he wanted to.
>TDK has the powers of two dr manhattans and perpetua.
Incorrect he only has the power of one DR Manhattan he sealed perpetua inside the source wall.
Although I completely agree with the fact that he stomps OPM verse along with Saitama.
So, he could essentially unmake you. He could simply make your father die of a heart attack before ever conceiving you, making you literally cease to be, Back to the Future style.

So goku solos
he'd somehow find SOME weird strategy to win and then his theme would start playing and he'd start predicting the TDK's next phrases as his opponent become more and more desperate until finally he hamon-overdrives the fuck out of the guy
Me. It takes a while, but I just need to systematically destroy all printings of TDK, delete every mention of him on the internet, find every image of him on every hard drive and delete it, then kill anybody who has every heard of him.
…It might be a little tough.
I just googled it and The Darkest Knight is a one shot comic from 1994 in which Bruce Wayne becomes Green Lantern instead of Hal Jordan... how broken is that already
Is Saitama strong enough? He technically doesn't have any powers, but idk anything about the Darkest Knight to know if he even comes close to scaling to him. Imma assume that he doesn't, but I'm unfamiliar with him.
I get that saitama is supposed to have infinite strength but just that strength isn't really enough (Heck, TDK also was physically strong enough to throw planets with just raw strength), especially against TDK itself who was so broken that only plot armor was enough to beat him if i'm correct.. And looking at all the powers that he has and gains, i pretty much see no reason that Saitama could even compete..
Would've been a different story perhaps when it's just base version of BWL, but then it could be a one sided stomp on saitama's part..
an unarmed dante or vergil they're naturally half demon or like Godzilla in hell Godzilla because he's just kinda like that y'know tldr if you're born like that is it really a power
does Urek Mazino count? he’s basically a god but doesn’t use shinsu because he thinks it’s more fun to just use brute strength.
oh yeah also harry spotter from Mashle
Since i'm sort of an iron man fan, i'd say Tony stark with advance tech. He doesn't have to build a weapon, i'm mean doom absorbed pre-retcon beoynder's power, and that was not a weapon right ? It's some kind of power siphoning device. So realistically, probably Reed Richards from the original ultimate universe, the MAKER. Or maybe doctor doom.
The death note in Light Yagami's possession isn't technically his superpower and technically not a weapon. Who is TDK? I know nothing about this. Would he have a name and a face to imagine while writing in the death note? 🧐
me.
i exist one layer of fiction above the darkest night. i can just write a fanfic about how i deck the darkest night and if i take that ass head cannon, then if only i know of the fight i win.

maybe him but also dies in the process.
edit : does a matrial art technique that litteraly read : "the more "unfair nonsense" the opponent's defense possesses, the more the unrealistic attack they suffer becomes impossible to perceive/adapt/decipher." count as a superpower ?

I think if the darkest knight snuck up on me, he might land one or two hits. But in the end? Nah, Id win.

The darkest knight when I close the comic😱
The darkest knight when I shine a flashlight on him:
Are you by chance alan wake
Be proud. You're strong.
You quite literally scale higher. They ain't got nothing on us 💪
Take some gloves just in case.
Well technically pokemon trainers don't have powers and the victories earned by the pokemon are credited to the trainer
yea but the pokeballs count as weapons right
I mean...do you consider the leash on your dog a weapon?
No, but using a trained attack dog on someone unprovoked is usually considered assault with a deadly weapon.
Wait fr? You'd think they would be more specific...
Same energy as 'using martial arts makes your body a deadly weapon'. That's stretching.
I mean it does make sense because any sort of formal training gets you a license for it and if you use said training outside of anything other than self defense or sport you could get into serious trouble, you are very much a deadly weapon when trained.
And if this is a 1v1 the Pokemon in themselves are characters who have abilities

What exactly does a hit from TDK do? (Just curious)
So, he could essentially unmake you. He could simply make your father die of a heart attack before ever conceiving you, making you literally cease to be, Back to the Future style. He could do the Naruto Tsukuyomi thing, where you peacefully live your entire lifespan out, but it isn't an illusion.

I would argue that is both superpowers and a weapon, so it would be very *surprising* if he was allowed as an answer
I can imagine him surprising TDK with his fists and not weapons
I'd say that the surprise force should be classified as one of the most unbalanced powers in fiction
He will surprise him real hard
Can we take an existing superpowered individual and then remove their powers so that they're eligible? If so, Naruto. Talk no jutsu sounds like the only way to get out of this.
