Who do you think is stronger? Both characters have shown superhuman strength at some points in the series. Sarah, Lifting up a car Smashing through a scam stand (don't really know if this counts but it ripped in half) Punching eddy flying Ripping a toilet from its foundation Rolf, Uprooting a huge tree Punching through a tree and splitting it in half (movie) Pushing his house backwards Punching through a metal stove with one punch Digging a massive hole with bare hands I think Rolf since I think ripping a tree from its foots is far more difficult than lifting a car, and this was right after he dug a massive trench. In the movie Sarah couldn't escape from lee from being pinned down by her. (Although it's possible she has massive strength too judging by the distrution she caused after losing her ship in a bottle) |

It's a tough one, and I don't think I can come down on one side or the other. You're right that uprooting a tree takes more strength than lifting a car, but I don't know how it would compare to ripping a toilet out from its foundation. I also remember much about the two incidents, so I can't say anything about how entrenched the roots were or how well-secured the toilet was. So I guess I'd rank them something like this: Ed > Kanker sisters > Rolf ≈ Sarah, but I'm not really the best person to ask for something like this. Welcome to the forum, by the way! Hopefully you enjoy your stay here. :) |

I'd say Rolf. Rolf is able to exhibit his strength when emotional or not emotional. On the other hand, Sarah only seems to display her strength when she becomes irate or indignant. Good question, and welcome to E2E by the way! |

Thanks for the intro man. It seems Rolf can warp reality too since In his fight with eddy the weather suddenly changed to dark and stormy but as soon as the fight was over it went back to its sunny self. I think Edd made a comment about it too. In the movie Rolf was so angry with the eds he would probably of literally killed them if he caught them. |

Welcome to the forums!! Yeah, I think Rolf is stronger as well, because he can exert that strength all the time. It's pretty close, though. Sarah can beat him up rather easily. |

I think that the weather changing when Rolf became angry was supposed to be a pathetic fallacy, but I could also see it as the intensity of Rolf's emotions taking control of nature. It's all a moot point, though, since Eddy would inevitably beat Rolf and Sarah before a fight between the two could conclude. |

Rolf doesn't hurt girls when ever she fights him, if he did it be bad news for her since Rolf can easily restrain all 3 eds with no effort. |

But Rolf hurts Wilfred, who's a girl. Does that mean that Sarah is definitely in trouble? |

He doesn't attack human girls, I think there was one episode where Rolf skips in line or something and Sarah attacks him, but he doesn't fight back but then Jimmy tried to help her and the next scene jimmy was all badly beaten, presumably from Rolf. |

I don't think that Rolf was the one to beat Jimmy up. Rolf is a gentle soul, and our only delicate flower on this forum. I don't believe that he could be capable of violence. :c |

You have seen the movie right? And you remember the scene when Rolf jumps from behind the rock swinging his fork in all directions thinking the eds where there? Well if the eds actually were still they they be dead! Or seriously injured. So I think he was the only one who actually wanted to kill them literally I actually think Rolf is at the same level or even stronger than ed, I mean have you seen his arms when he flexes?! :blink: |

Sorry, sorry, I should have explained that when I say "delicate flower," that means I'm absolutely, 100% joking. I mean, I'm probably joking when I say other things too, but the list of things that I say when I'm joking would be a slightly bigger-than-big list, so yeah. I completely agree with you about Rolf's violent streak. I wouldn't say that Rolf is anywhere near as strong as Ed, though. Ed was able to tear a house from its foundations and carry it around without exerting himself, and I don't think that anything Rolf has done compares to that. Now, if you were talking about who would win in a fight, I'd say that Rolf would probably have the edge there, since Ed doesn't really have the mindset to fight somebody (unless he's got a pebble in his shoe, or he's actually Lothar instead of Ed). |

I've always wondered how that football episode would have played out if Ed had actually played. |

Realistically, probably pretty much the same. Ed doesn't really have any of the skills needed to play football well. He has the strength the be a lineman, but his slow-thinking and inability to react well to situations on the fly would put a stop to any aspirations like that. And I can't really think of any other position he might be able to play, unless the goal was an episode where Peach Creek get demolished at football while everybody laughs at Ed's antics. Which was basically the episode we got. |

IIRC the guys on the other team twisted a barbell into a pretzel and punched the metal plates on them to dust, pretty strong guys me thinks and considering they where like what 20 times bigger than the other characters even with ed playing I still don't think that would of helped much. Maybe the characters don't really have super strength just cartoon logic, similar to how all of them have survived injuries that would of definitely killed anyone or anything else (falling from space?) as I remember one time Kevin picked up his bike with double dee on it with his finger and sometimes eddy can pick up both the eds without any ease, two characters not considered strong in the series. Sarah's strength is also downplayed to regular sometimes as there was this one instance that Jimmy was badly hurt and she needed kids to help carry him to his room. However the eds are always shown to be scared or intimidated by her whenever she charges at them (Sarah's diary anyone?) So I think it really depends on the writer. |

I think you could explain those examples away as a part of a logically consistent universe if you wanted. I always took Kevin to be pretty strong. Not as strong as Rolf or Ed, but still significantly stronger than the other kids. Eddy lifting the other two Eds mostly happens when he's excited about a scam, IIRC. In that case you could say that he's simply getting an adrenaline rush that gives him the strength he needs to lift them up. Sarah might not have needed help lifting Jimmy up, but instead wanted help supporting him comfortably. Jimmy was hurt, and slinging a hurt person over your shoulder isn't exactly the most nurturing thing to do. And, having said all of that, I think that I'd probably agree with you that the show is a cartoon and operates on cartoon logic. I just find it fun to try and rationalise things like this (I'm a fun person, you know. Everybody loves my parties). |
