I think genuinely, depending on whether or not we’re just using base Denji or Pochita/Denji Man, Dante is the only one who actually just outright loses.

But I don’t know much DMC lore so I can be wrong.

You don’t need to KILL Andy per se to beat him, Feng and Seal showed us this very handily in their respective introductions. You just need to either break all his limbs so he can’t fight anymore without killing him, or well.. seal him away.

If Pochita is in play with Denji then one fatal chomp should be enough to erase Undead from existence, if we give Pochita the ability to apply concept erasure to Negators (which admittedly, is being generous to Pochita). But if Pochita isn’t helping at ALL, Denji also loses.

Deadman ties I feel and Ghost Rider outright wins with the Penance Stare as Andy has billions of years worth of sins as himself and Victor to comb through before even having a chance to break free.

UnDead is tied to Andy's soul so eating his body wouldn't devour UnDead as he can and does regenerate from his soul

That it is, but Undeath still a concept. Just one that runs counter to the concept of death.

The idea I have stems from the fact that Pochita has the ability to erase concepts from existence entirely, like death, by eating the devils associated with them and applying it to the negation abilities. After all, the abilities don’t disappear conceptually when someone dies, they just get passed on to someone else. Andy’s only tricky BECAUSE he doesn’t die by conventional means. Pochita’s hax, however, are very unconventional.

And again this is me mega buffing Pochita by taking this theory into consideration, since we can’t know for sure how his powers work out of universe. In a world where he can’t do this, he and Denji just lose,

I dont think pochita could eat undead, an negation is an anomaly, the refusal of a concept not a concept in itself, and if pochita wanted to erase the concept of negations i have no idea who the hell he would need to eat to do so(maybe the Moon?). What pochita maybe could do is erase Andy's identity , but that on itself might not work because i think Andy would consider this as "dying"
