Raiden Tameemon vs Shiva: Who is Stronger?

1. Based on Strength

We already know that Raiden Tameemon is a very famous Japanese sumo wrestler. As a result, he has quite good muscle strength within him. But, he was going more with the technique than that of strength. Whereas, God Shiva is also very powerful as he has defeated all of the Gods including his best friend Rudra.

Heading to strength, both of them were using their full strength but Raiden was at quite the next level. His strength in the muscle helps him to destroy Shiva. Also, he gets more power as he uses the sumo technique Yatagarasu to increase strength. Further, using it he destroys Shiva’s three arms as Shiva was unable to block this attack. Adding on, this attack was so dangerous that Raiden was about to get Shiva’s head off. As a result, Raiden Tameemon was ahead in strength.

2. Based on Abilities

 Moving towards the abilities, both of them have quite similarities on it. On one hand, Raiden Tameemon was about to pull off his all ability as the sumo wrestler. Whereas, Shiva was also ready with his ability to withstand the battle. Also, Raiden pulls up to strength as much as he can.

On the other hand, Shiva was also trying to play one of the trump cards, Dance of Destruction. We talk more about Shiva’s ability below. As of now, it seems to be a tie in the abilities between them.

3. Based on Speed

When it comes to speed, Shiva is the one to get the title from Raiden. Being a sumo wrestler, weight of Raiden Tameemon is very high. Whereas, Shiva’s speed is very enhanced which even other fighters can predict. Even more, Raiden’s muscle was very strong which starts to show the drawbacks. Because of this, he was not able to move his body as the strength in his muscle was getting higher. As a result, Shiva has a clear win on the Speed against Raiden Tameemon.

4. Based on Durability

Well, coming towards the durability, both of them seem to have a tie like the ability section. Shiva also has good durability as he was fighting even though he lost his three arms. Whereas Raiden Tameemon was also full strength up and his body was frozen because of using Thrud’s Volundr a couple of times. Along, with such a body he was also not kneeling down. Therefore, it seems a tie in durability between them.

How did Shiva defeat Raiden Tameemon?

When Shiva lost his three arms it quite seem that Raiden was going to win the battle. But, Shiva then uses Dance of Destruction which increases his heart rate and the mode which can even destroy the world. Using it he was at a very good speed. On the other hand, Raiden was not able to move because of the drawbacks of his ability.

Even though Raiden was powerful in strength but Shiva was top on his speed. Adding on, Shiva put all of his power into his kick and it collides with his attack on Raiden. Which destroys the arm of the Raiden Tameemon. Then, Raiden knows that he has lost against Shiva and says that it was a good fight and he feels very happy that he gets a chance to fight with Shiva.

Heading on, Shiva then lands his kick again and finishes off Raiden Tameemon. Then, the god’s side comes to victory and the score comes to 3-2.
