This is a tribute to Pacific Rim Uprising. While Jake got to be a better character by the second half of the film, it wasn’t totally enough to save him. He was okay at best, but could really learn a thing or two from Asta who trained ever since he was a kid to be the very best. Jake quit when the going got tough, but Asta stuck with it and that’s why there is such a difference in power between the two fighters. Asta wins.

From what I’ve seen, Asta can break concrete. Now apply that force to a human skull. Do the math.
Even calculating all of the variables the equation always gives the same answer. Skulls can’t endure such a hit
Mr. Pentecost cannot win this, and does not deserve to die this way, or I’m dating Nina Agdal*!
*Which, for the record, I am not.
I do feel bad for Jake. I feel like he’s definitely in over his head here
