Re:Zero Anime-only viewers have no idea how unfair the fight between Julius and the “stick swinger” really is. They are up against Reid Astrea, the First Sword Saint, who according to author Tappei is the strongest character in history until Reinhard van Astrea appears, with Reinhard only surpassing him because he is essentially a “cheat” character.
Reid is the embodiment of absolute sword mastery, able to cut through anything without exception. Light, space, dimensions, concepts, and even Authorities are all within his reach to sever. Tappei has even stated that Reid could have beheaded Regulus despite his Authority, which places him beyond what most characters in Re:Zero can even begin to comprehend.
As the pinnacle of the Heavenly Sword, Reid represents the peak of pure combat ability in the series, a level where every other fighter is still climbing an endless mountain he already conquered.
