Manga Team vs Thanos and his army

[Nik Hasta]

Because I'm not above shameless bandwagoning.

The following team has to hold off Thanos and his army, a la the Avengers in Endgame. Manga versions of all, from end of series/current versions unless otherwise noted.

- Edward and Alphonse Elric (Full Metal Alchemist)
- Han Daewi and Yu Mira (God of School) circa prior to the Ragnarok War.
- Baki and Yujiro Hanma (Grappler Baki)
- Ban and Diane (Seven Deadly Sins) circa the first story arcs they featured in. Diane does not have Gideon.
- Agito (Air Gear) circa fighting Vercingetorix at the lake. Hild is not in play.
- Killer Cyborg Genos (One Punch man) circa his first appearance.
- Nico Robin (One Piece)
- Sado "Chad" Yasutora (Bleach) crica the Hueco Mundo arc.
- Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
- Touji (Battle Angel Alita: Last Order) circa his battle with the Venusian Shapeshifter.
- Haru Glory (Groove Adventure Rave)

The Infinity Gauntlet is in play. The object is to stop Thanos from recovering it and snapping.

The IG is buried at the bottom of the ruined Avengers HQ and both teams are going for it, starting off on the battlefield on the ground.

How does this play out?

I'm only familiar with like... 3 people on this list. And they aren't scratching Thanos' paint lol.

Do they have anything that can contend with "Rain fire!"?

Does Edward have his Alchemy? Though I guess that that's the difference between one or two Elrics turning the entire battlefield into spikes while Ban and Diane blitzstomp the much slower and probably much weaker Thanos into mulch with Haru, Chad, Genos, et. Al playing cleanup (with Robin possibly snapping the spines of everyone short of Cull Obsidian as her opening move).

If they manage to restrain Thanos without splattering him, one or more Elric brothers may be able to figure out his composition well enough to transmute him into glass, or something.

Most of the people on this list that I'm familiar with can't possibly do anything to Thanos himself, or many of the heavy hitters in his army. But they could at least fight that army.

Ban and Diane are be a different story, being ludicrously faster and stronger than MCU characters I think, even in their first appearances. I definitely think they win this. I can just see someone (anyone on either side) eventually picking up the gauntlet, Ban snatches it with his super-convenient-to-this-discussion magic, and sprints to safety. Being both very very immortal and also possessed of outrageous willpower, he snaps the bad guys away and throws a party in their ashes.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Diane can also turn the battlefield into a massive field of spikes. So the Elrics are going to have plenty of assistance on that front as well. Anyone remember if being shrunk substantially reduced her strength?

[Nik Hasta]

Couple of points.

1) Thanos has his space ship in play.

2) I don't recall either the Elrics or Diane on her first appearance showing that they could cover a battlefield on the scale of this in spikes at will. Not even close. Maybe like half, at best, if they all work in concert.

3) Ban is quick in his first appearance, the Jericho shaving feat is pretty good, but is he really blitzing people that hard?

Diane being small did reduce her strength a bit. She still has a lot of super strength but it's magnified by her size.

Thanos does have his sword that dices up Cap's shield as well.
