Zeheart had no trouble fighting Kio AND Seric when he was in the Ghirarga. He would match Asemu and at the very least fight him to a draw. |
I mean, in the the handful of fights we've had:
(1.) End of Gen 2: Zeheart has his panties in a bunch that he can't rely on his crutch to just win. If you remember when Gen 2 started, he nearly got his head cut off by Asemu in a relic out of the barn and was saved purely because of said crutch (he nearly got headshot in his upgraded suit by the AGE-2, and again was saved by his magic powers). No matter how you shake it, Asemu was presented as more talented as a pilot (fighting a trained military combatant and pilot with NO training military or real piloting background), the most talented in the whole series probably, he just doesn't have magic brain powers.
(2.) Flit was capable of holding back Zeheart with a 30+ year old machine while the latter was in his updated red-thing, the name of which escapes me. Flit was talented as a pilot but he was presented to be fairly close to Woolf in terms of pure piloting skills but, unlike Woolf, had magic brain powers.
(3.) In Gen 3 the brain magic vs. brain magic fights of Kio vs. Zeheart were fairly even, the Ghirarga did not appear to have any over the top advantage over a kid who was piloting for the first time. The Wrozzo was fighting an angry and very much reckless Kio but managed to draw out a stalemate. As of so far, there's no overly large gap established between Kio and Zeheart.
Now, in Gen 3 when Asemu reappears, he's completely toying with his son. He doesn't do anything but dodge and kick, he could have shredded Kio and the AGE-3 if he were out for blood. Think about the circumstances of the fights he's also had, he and a small group of suits have been taking out what are likely heavily armed and manned military vessels. (Took out SID...)
As of this episode even the Bisidian grunts are presented as far more skilled than the Diva grunts.
They could have over represented it and we might get a worf effect with Asemu, but as it stands I don't there's much of a contest.
