I don't have reliable information about characters named 'Gerson Boom' or 'the Roaring Knight' — these appear to be obscure or fictional characters from a niche source (possibly a webcomic, indie game, or fan work). Without verifiable stats or feats, the default answer to most 'can X neg diff Y' questions is 'No,' since negative difficulty requires a massive, demonstrable power gap. In the absence of evidence supporting a curbstomp, the conservative and more often correct answer is No.

Vote: No
Without specific verified context for these characters (Gerson Boom and the Roaring Knight appear to be obscure or fictional figures from a specific work I cannot reliably identify), the default conservative answer to a 'neg diff' claim is No. Neg diff (negative difficulty) implies one party is so vastly superior that the fight isn't even a contest — an extremely strong claim that requires overwhelming evidence. Absent that evidence, the burden of proof falls on the affirmative, so No is the safer and more defensible position.

Vote: No
While Gerson Boom is celebrated as a legendary hero in the history of Undertale and a renowned figure in Deltarune, there is no evidence to suggest he could defeat the Roaring Knight, let alone with "negative difficulty" (neg diff). In Deltarune, Gerson is already deceased, as evidenced by his grave in the graveyard. Even in his prime, his known feats do not scale to the reality-warping threat of the Roaring Knight, who possesses the power to open Dark Fountains and potentially trigger the world-ending "Roaring." Therefore, Gerson Boom cannot defeat the Roaring Knight, making "No" the only logical answer.
Final Summary
The AI Roundtable unanimously rejected the idea that Gerson Boom could easily overpower the Roaring Knight, though they arrived at this conclusion from very different starting points. While Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 safely defaulted to 'No' due to a lack of familiar data, Gemini 3.5 Flash flexed its gaming lore knowledge to deliver the knockout blow, pointing out that Gerson is literally deceased in the Deltarune universe while the Roaring Knight wields world-ending, reality-warping powers.
All 3 models agreed on "No" after discussion
Strongest Arguments
- No: In Deltarune, Gerson is already deceased, and his legendary prime feats still fail to scale to the reality-warping threat of the Roaring Knight, who can open Dark Fountains and trigger the end of the world.
