How far does Jesus get?

Nice thread.

Makes it to round 4 and stops there, methinks.

Any particular reason why?

Yeah. Jesus is good, but can't see him offing 3 seasoned fighters (and Governor acting as a distraction) at the same time.

It's possible of course than I'm underrating him, since his each new feat keeps amazing us...

Same as Stilt, I might even start doubting at 3.

Negan and Beta are still lethal as **** even though Jesus could run circles around them 1 on 1.

He already treated Michonne + Abe like they were talentless feebs. Adding another seasoned fighter to the mix certainly wouldn't have changed that outcome, imo. What's more, Jesus didn't even want to hurt either of them in that instance.

Jesus probably makes it to 6 or 7.

I don't really like ABC logic, but Jesus quite casually beat down Negan and Negan beat down Beta pretty easily. I can certainly see him beating both of them in a very casual manner.

Jesus easily beat michonne and Abraham in his very first appearance and he didn't even have a weapon or armor. Let's also not forget that he could have easily killed both michonne and Abraham in that fight.

The governor has nothing to suggest that he'll be anything other than a slight distraction.

Rick is impressive for sure, but he has neither the training that Abraham has nor the shows of skill that michonne has. If Rick still had his hand, he'd probably be right underneath michonne. Since he doesn't, his primary appendage that's use for offence will also need to be used for defense. I don't see it taking that long for a true martial artist like Jesus to overwhelm him (especially since Jesus is bloodlusted). Let's also not forget that a truly pissed off Rick was beaten down by Negan (and we all know how Jesus ragdolled Negan).

Keep in mind that Jesus has taken down or looked impressive against three of the toughest people in this gauntlet even while he wasn't armed or in armor. Honestly, I see Jesus dancing around them while landing each attack that he has to give.

I can, tbh.

That's right, he essentially toyed with Michonne.

And he threw back a damned live grenade. Nobody human can do that, that's a meta feat right there.

I think Jesus can take then all. Once the numbers grow enough, they'd start getting in each others way anyways, and as quick as he restrained Negan, he can use human shields as crowd control if need be..

And there again, Jesus wasn't trying to kill Negan -- only subdue him(which he did effortlessly)... And Negan also had Lucille in that encounter.

Jesus is absolutely f*cking awesome. 👆

I'll go ahead and post most of Jesus' more noteworthy feats, so that everyone knows what the guy is capable of...

Jesus vs. Abraham + Michonne:

Soon afterward, Jesus soloed a group of Walkers with his hands tied behind his back(literally):

A few reaction feats...

Catches a spear in midair that was thrown at him from close quarters:

Catches a live grenade in midair, and throws it back at his attackers before it detonates:

Owns several Whisperers who were armed with melee weapons:

Posting because this dismount from his horse was f*cking phenomenal:

*bottom panels

Owns a group of Negan's men(who were all armed with automatic weapons), before casually owning/subduing Negan himself:

This is important, because Negan /w/ Lucille beat the absolute shit out of Beta:

Beta is the largest character we have seen in the franchise BY FAR:

He is also strong enough to casually lift Negan(who is larger than average himself) off the ground with one arm:

*And as Negan states in the above scans: Beta is also VERY fast for his size.

IOW, Jesus >>> Negan > Beta.

So now everyone should know who you're dealing with.

Does he run on water?

He may as well do.

Wanted to bump this.

Ezekiel with Shiva will be too much I think since she won't go down as easy. And she could pin him down.

Totally missed this in October. Interesting. Going with Stilt's initial assessment.
Also gave Galan a chance to post many cool TWD scans. 😛 👆

Do I hear a fanboy squeal?

Have Negan and Lucille been replace as you're top TWD character?

Man, times like this i really did wish i read TWD. I mean seriously, looking at how the TWD universe rolls and seeing a man like Jesus just coming in looking like Batman and Captain America, whooping peoples ass like that..god damn that's not fair.
