The order is never in question here, and the record matters for a different reason: it is a defeat and not a kill. The Monster Association's leader spent the largest attack he had and was taken to pieces in reply, which leaves the top of the ranking well clear of him without any argument. What the result cannot carry is an ending. The body went on, and the end came later from an esper's hands, so anyone counting how many of the top entry's results actually closed should count this one as open.

Mangacomic

Head of the Monster Association and the thing its sacrifices were feeding. Blown apart underground and still conscious afterwards, he dragged himself back together out of other monsters' blood, tried to swallow the woman who had made him, and came out of that merger holding a share of "God's" power. Twenty-nine chapters passed between the punch and the body finally stopping.

What this does not settle

One fight in one work. It is the only result the record gives between these two, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
