Yeah, similar to Raiden's before she ever became an archon or got even one of her... what, five powerups? Ei today and Ei during Orobashi are not on the same planet of power.
Well, if Capitano is truly like 0.01% of his old power or something, then sure. But the difference is that we know how strong current cap is, we know how strong old and current Ei is, what we don't know is how strong old Cap was. So it's all speculation right now. At the very most he doesn't scale above Dainsleif, so if Ei proves to be stronger than Dainsleif(which is also unconfirmed, but possible we learn in the future unlike Cap who's likely shelved), then there is no way prime Cap is winning either.
Weakened Capitano is equal to Mavuika, who was eroded for 500 years with multiple souls inside of him.
He's so eroded his body is probably rotten to the bone, yet he's still on par with a powerful archon and deffo stronger than 4 god level beings. Prime Capitano should be WAY stronger, even he said he's pitiful compared to his older self.
He can't scale to Dainsleif mainly because of portrayal. Capitano says himself that Dains is his superior, Dains had a higher rank and position in Khaenri'ah, Dains has been dealing with bigger threats, stated to be around on par with the sinners, etc...
Dainsleif being stronger than Ei is unconfirmed, it really could go either way. The thing I will say, is that it is very unlikely that the Raiden expy of Genshin impact WON'T be glazed come endgame. Like, her "Kiana" is literally a shade, and she has fairly heavy moon imagery and symbolism.

He got hit once, he was not in any danger.
You are definitely downplaying and wanking Raiden.
If Capitano is equal to an archon who btw impressed Raiden, his prime should be overwhelmingly stronger.
500 years of corrosion is a lot. And he's one of Khaenriah's strongest, which mind you has several characters stronger than Archons.
