Wave states with great confidence that Incursio is weaker than Grand Chariot,
because Incursio was a prototype for Grand Chariot, etc.

The early clashes between Wave and Tatsumi can lead the viewer to such
conclusion, but Incursio's has the ability to evolve (from the beast it was
made of), while Grand Chariot doesn't.

If you watched to the finale, we can see that

> Tatsumi causes Incursio to evolve so much during the fight against
> Shikoutazer that it even gains the ability to fly. While it is enough to
> defeat the emperor, unfortunately not enough to save Tatsumi's life.

Considering this, I don't think that Incursio was the weaker one. Is it so?

Was Incursio really weaker than Grand Chariot, or was Wave just delusional?


Currently there is no actual way of knowing this, especially not in the anime
variety as this bends off from the manga's story quite a bit.

But assuming that Incursio's Adaptation & Evolution are limitless, we can most
likely state Incursio to be the stronger armor. But as we get to know in the
manga _(do not believe this is shown in the anime)_ it also has huge side-
effects

Rather than evolving, Incursio adapts to its user. Tatsumi just happened to
have huge potential, which lead to Incursio evolving along with him.

If we think back to the days where Incursio belonged to Bulat, its only
ability apart from the obvious strength enhancing one which it shares with
Grand Chariot, is its invisibility. Bulat had owned Incursio for many years
longer than Tatsumi ever had.

Also, we know next to nothing about Grand Chariot's own abilities. For all we
know, it might be the same as Incursio, only much younger and thus less
"experienced".

I mean, I see why Incursio could be seen as the stronger and better teigu, but
of Grand Chariot is the prototype, IE, the finished, best/most recent version,
then who says it can't compete with Evolved Incursio, or even surpass it. All
I'm really saying is we haven't seen as much of Grand Chariot as we have
Incursio, thus, leading us to believe that, if we haven't seen it happen, it's
not possible. So just keep an open mind. Besides, Wave was the only person to
weild two Teigu with ease whenever it would normally kill the user, so keep
Wave as a factor since he is the user, not just the Teigu itself.

Grand Chariot lack the ability to evolve, removing the risk of losing control
or being devoured. Hence it is the final product. That does not mean it is
necessarily stronger. Take the toy brand Nerf Guns for example, the original
guns are extremely powerful and dangerous but they are designed with a stopper
to limit the power making it safer, not necessarily better.

Just to point out final episode proved that Incursio was overall stronger then
Grand Chariot, being able to infinitely evolve. In the final episode all it
took was one hit with the laser to stop Wave while Tatsumi got hit and kept
going envolving his armour to compete with the most powerful Imperial Arms in
Akame Ga Kill.

Maybe Incursio can be one of the strongest teigu, even though they told us
that all 48 Imperial Arms were the same in strength and power. But take note
of the following conversation during one of Night Raid's meetings:

> **Tatsumi** : Which is the strongest imperial relic?  
>  **Najenda** : That would depend on compatibility and how it was used.

So if it depends on the wielder, then Incursio in Tatsumi's hands could be
stronger than Grand Chariot in Wave's hands. Incursio in Tatsumi's hands also
defeated the Shikoutazer, the most powerful Imperial Arm, so yes, Incursio was
stronger than Grand Chariot.
