DOCTOR LAS' DIAGNOSIS:

I think it's a close one, but the Anime team once again get's my vote. First off, The Transmutation Circle. Ed can easily damamge Etrigan Spears coming out of the ground, impaling the demon, or Turrets rising behind him and tearing him apart. Maybe even a Cannon shooting his head off from range. Ed has so many options with the Transmutation Circle, especially with his Intelligence and Creativity. And that's another reason why he will win, his intelligence. While Etrigaan can be smart, Edward just highly outsmarts him. And in Close combat, I actually think Edward can beat the demon due to his training, weapons, and intelligence. Ed can smash Etrigan into the ground with his Robotic Arm. Overall, Edward just outclasses Etrigan on almost every level.
