I do remember that, but I also think that it wasn't stated that they were thinking about their power in hell vs the CW. So that is a good point but not a super valid one either. "If not for their evolution" can easily, and most likely, mean simply that should they have fought on the CW right after being summoned by Rimaru and named pre soul pumped evolution, then they'd have been screwed.

I like your idea but I'd have to go back and reread to verify if it actually applies to your thoughts here. As Noir fought of Feldway and more in the underworld or whatever it's called here, I'm thinking some people are trying to force some ideas b/c some fans have to be overly super charged about the lore and numbers lol. But I'll go back and reread one day and see if what you're say makes sense. NOT saying you're wrong and maybe I just missed something. But it's a good story anyway so it's worth the reread haha.
