Shock can come from Xe'ra trying to force Illidan to be lightforged. And at the same time shock from her being destroyed. As I said, he was naturally warring himself in his thoughts! Did you see the Light empowering his attack ? Of course not ! I think I explained pretty well why Illlidan was able to block Turalyon, please give me a good argument besides "he wasn't even looking". I think I gave you a pretty pleasant one!
Well, just saying ''but he was in shock!!'' argument doesn't really cut it either, I am afraid.
His 100 year old mentor and everything he believe in died in front of his eyes, maybe he shocked for few seconds, then tried to attack illidan , got blocked super easly with one hand.That's what happened in cinematic anyways.
Them still getting along afterwards in the ship doesn't make any sense lore-wise anyways but I am just stating what I saw in the cinematic.

Read what I wrote, please! He was in shock because his mentor, the one who he considered very very highly, tried to enslave Illidan. As someone who loves the Light, to see a being made from it, made him get confused, made him disagree but also get angry!
Again I repeat, if I were clear of mind, and with the purpuse of killing Illidan he would have used the Light. What, is your lord illidan so strong he dampens 100% Turalyon's power ??

Well she didn't tried to enslave illidan by the paladin logic , I bet turalyon was thinking she was...''purifiying'' him out of his scars , if you know what I mean.
Otherwise turalyon wouldn't give two !@#$s about what happens to illidan, imo.

The Light of Turalyon would have not killed Illidan, anyway. Not even a direct blow of Frostmourne from DK Arthas could kill him. And that Illidan was less powerful than the one of today, anyway.

Xe'ra "purified" Lothraxion, most probabily, makes you wonder, did he ask for that willingly ?
What he saw was her going against a living being's will, something he fights to protect, and thought his mentor would do so too!

Illidan is a living being, who defends the world, he gives a .... about everyone! He sacrificed himself, and managed to get people to follow him to sacrifice their former lives to defend other living beings from the Horde!

No, but Light many times doesn't work directly to kill, like other magics. Burning, Blinding, more powerful attacks, in fact, the Light's damage works mostly through empowering the weapon. Do you think Turalyon even empowered the former Lothar's sword ? I have my doubts! We also know paladins work through auras, look at Uther vs Arthas, one of the main weapons was a searing, blinding aura!
Not even a direct blow of Frostmourne from DK Arthas could kill him
I doubt Arthas stroke to kill! He could have finished him easily, and it was a weak strike, illidan was quicker, and he was flying away, out of range. In other words, no matter how strong a strike is, if it hits a retreating target/it only cuts with the tip, it isn't very powerful! I know what I talk about, HEMA.

How is this discussion still going?
Turalyon can't win even while Illidan is on the ground face first!
Come on...

Illidan hands down. Get the !@#$ out of here with your old guy. Illidan just blasted a prime naaru to bits, what's a poor old ragass human next to that?

Well, Naarus are very bad fighters! The only power they have is blessings and channeled stuff!
The power from the Light, the Naaru, comes from its allied.
It is not like Xe'ra would bubble!

I like Turalyion more, but Illidan is stronger. A weakned Illidan stopped with ease an Turalyion’s attack.

Illidan literally caught Turalyons blade with his hand even after being beat up on by a prime naaru.
Seems pretty clear to me

Original Illidan that we fought at the end of BT. Probably pretty even.
New super-charged, fan service (omgwtfheoneshottedsomethingthathasbeenaroundsincethedawnoftime) Illidan would skin Turalyon alive I'm afraid.

because arthas didnt hit to kill, although it was quite close until his lackeys arrived. Arthas was like " Get outta my way !@#$%! " and tadaaa!

Turalyon is just a human paladin, more talented than others,and empowered by Xera.Turalyon's skills are in rallying his troops,and commanding an army in battle.He did not defeat Doomhammer in combat,Doomhammer was severely weakened and wounded after the fight with Lothar,a fight that is widely regarded as one of the greatest 1v1 battles of all time in WoW lore.
Illidaddy on the otherhand is a powerful nightelf sorcerer ,who later became a demon hunter after being empowered by Sargeras himself,then became a nightelf-demon hybrid after consuming the skull of Guldan. He was toying and dicking around against a buffed Arthas at Icecrown until his arrogance got the better of him.And he oneshot Xera,defeated Tichondrius and Magtheridon.
Illidan wins this very easily.Its not even a contest.
Now Illidan vs Velen would be one helluva fight.

Mhmmm, yeah, no, yeah... no.
Illidan's arrogance certainly played a role but the fact was he was never a match for Arthas. Arthas just fought Kael'thas and was weakened from said battle. Illidan still losing is a clear gap in power.

it was even showed turalyon was no match for a weakned illidan, xera was stronger then turalyon and look where she ended up.
if fully exhausted illidan can stop turalyons swing with 1hand without even looking at him, he stands no chance in a actual fight turalyon and he never was really strong. Good leader yes, incredbly fighter no.

Turalyon mainly because Illidan would sacrifice himself for a random reason, just so he can keep on saying in every other sentence he utters that he has made great sacrifices. Guy has serious ego issues.
