TCW Anakin vs Darth Maul SOD

Battle takes place on neutral ground

TCW is essentially the same as his ROTS self. Anakin gets him. (By contrast, AOTC Anakin loses)

No, RotS Anakin is on a different level altogether.

That said, TCW Anakin can still win this.

Anakin can win this.

Honestly, it's a split but I'd probably give the edge to SOD Maul, given that this isn't ROTS Anakin.

I dunno, even in TCW Anakin is pretty damn solid...

Depends what season of TCW, honestly.

I'd assume we're talking Season 5.

TCW Anakin is Powerful, and clearly a challenge for Count Dooku.

But TCW Maul is also pretty solid, and SOD Maul is Maul at his peak (for now). So I'd personally give him the edge until we get really close to ROTS.

There is nothing that would suggest, that SoD Maul > TCWS5 Maul.
Since his duel with Sidious Maul was a prisoner. He run then, and lost some strenghts in a battle against Grievous and his droid army.

Jedi/Sith aren't saiyajins. They can't become much stronger after one or two fights.

Doesn't Anakin dream-kill Dooku in the finale?

Actually there is.

The whole reason TCW Maul > TPM Maul is because of the increase in his overall Rage which had made him more powerful in the Dark Side.

With Maul's Brother getting murdered by Sidious at the end of S5 Maul's rage and lust for Revenge would have only increased. And increased again with the death of his Mother.

You are right though that 1 or 2 fights do not somehow increase your combat skill or anything. But life changing events can certainly have a permanent impact, especially on a being whose fueled by pure Rage.

Yes proof that Anakin's already Uber in the Dream world.

Agreed. He never replicated that feat.

Not until ROTS. No.

And it's hardly "replicating" when it wasn't even real the first time.

It was clearly a "vision" of sorts of what's to come.

That's possible. But there are other possibilities, like Talzin's intervention for example. Hard to tell, perhaps she was the one who made him stronger.

And yes, rage and hatered are great sources od the dark side. Anyway - unlike Anakin's hatered for himself - Maul's rage after Talzin's death might be temporary.

Didn't Luke dream kill Vader in the cave?

So you're saying that Anakin, in a very small period of time(between finale of TCW and ROTS) surpassed Dooku? I think TCW itself depicts how the characters have grown in power and character throughout the Clone Wars and while Anakin wasn't able to keep up with Dooku in the beginning, he became powerful enough to defeat him at the end of the show. Luke decapitating Vader with random explosion effects in a magic cave isn't really the same thing with Anakin dream-killing Dooku.
