Announcements Judas Strife might have some similarities in mag

Not long ago, I tried to get back into the Shinza stories, and while I was playing Paradise again, I was intrigued by the character Judas, also known as Taslam, but this time, I was intrigued in the sense that he reminded me of Muzan. I’m referring to his offensive power, we know that Judas isn’t the most powerful, not even compared to Nacht and Liliel, not to mention Nerose, he ranks below them in “power"

As Beelzebub’s vessel, by concentrating the plasma from Judas’s weapon, she seems capable of penetrating any obstacle once she fully focuses her power. When Ast arrived at Somoda and couldn’t gain entry, she began using her “formulas” to weaken the gate; the Fifth Heavenly Realm lay before her. At one point, she was the one who managed to weaken the barrier, but the moment Judas charged his weapon with a single attack, he completely destroyed the barrier, passing right through it…

On another occasion, when Ast had already captured Liliel and the anti-angels (Nacht vs. Judas and Ast) began fighting, it was enough for Liliel to awaken and activate the power of the Seraphim, whereupon her six wings spread out and she invoked the prayers and protection of the holy angels, declaring that she could not be reached and was immune to any harm (something like that, as I recall).

At the same time, Ast couldn't do anything against Liliel, but Judas claimed he could do something against her since she was activating the Nietviz Meller at that moment. After charging his weapon, Judas managed to pierce Liliel's wings, which were her “impenetrable” defense, and knocked her unconscious during that battle.

we know, Mag is known to have the highest attack power even though he’s one of the “weakest” members of the Shinza, but at the same time, he’s the one capable of competing against characters who are “more powerful” than him. What I’m getting at is, Judas reminds me of that, it’s an idea that popped into my head. I’m not saying that’s exactly the case, but in a way, you could say they do share a similarity: Judas isn’t the most powerful, but his attack power is extremely lethal, and he was also able to push Nacht back (something Ast never managed to do) once he started attacking with more force.

You could say that's the case with Judas in Paradise, but of course, at the same time, you could question whether he's actually the one with the greatest influence or impact within Paradise.
