Acnologia probably thought that Gildarts was going to bleed out. Gildarts lost an arm, a leg, and some of his organs. The fact that he survived might be a testament to Gildart's tenacity, but it has no combat application as far as I'm concerned.

Not the Glidartz struggling against Bluenote again, please. As soon as Glidartz got serious he oneshotted him. Glidartz was an SS mage while Laxus was an S mage. Laxus was able to give patched Hades a decent fight after he had fought Makarov and the main cast so it's likely he was not as fresh as he was against Makarov, still the two lost I think Glidartz could've beaten patched Hades (NEVER unpatched Hades / Hades with heart).

Was the boost of Tenrou not given to Laxus? I think his guildmark was never erased.

Also not again with the Jura = Glidartz; Makarov was surprised as hell after seeing Laxus beat Jura which translates into "I have no fucking idea how strong Jura is".

But fine let's say not a solid tier above and let's leave it like that...

Gildarts was serious off the bat do not give me that. Going all out=/=Serious. Gildarts only ever shot him after using his strongest move to date. After Hades fought the main cast and Makarov? Hades barely broke a sweat again both parties and at one point he was plain out playing with team Natsu. I doubt someone who struggled against Bluenote is beating Hades, he would have given a good fight for sure but beat? Hell no. Hades still had Grimaore Law under his belt etc.

Laxus' mark got erased, he's even referred to as the unbranded man in the chapter title.

What? How does being stronger than Laxus equate to being as strong as Gildarts? Makarov didn't even state that during the actual fight between them. Marakob was surprised after he beat Jura because he didn't know the extent of Laxus' growth because his only fight vs Raven Tail was hidden. In fact, what discredits Makarov?

He was in dragon form and got rid of limbs and left.

He was already in Dragon form. Do you really think he would change into human just for Gildarts? -_-

By that logic, why did he destroy all those places that he does in dragon form? Are they stronger than him?

Doesn't sound like a thing that Acnologia would do, honestly...

Irene fought human form while Gildarts fought dragon form who posed for than a threat then the on version that Irene fought that used on attack.

thing is, Makarov knows Gildarts very well. he knows how powerful Gildarts was in his prime(his young age, 20 - 30). Laxus trained for 3 months and Makarov couldn't know how powerful Laxus was until he fought Jura.

You are right, but 3 months had gone by for Glidartz too in which he might have (I bet he did) improved. Actually Tartaros Glidartz was > Tenrou Glidartz (at least we didn't see Tenrou Glidartz busting mountains). 3 months in this manga = triple your power. 1 year in this manga = you're 50 times stronger xDD

@Axiomus Natsu wasn't going all out because he didn't need to. Similarly I was wrong in saying Glidartz was going all out against Bluenote because for all I know he might just be fighting rather seriously, but not going all out.

Although I somewhat agree with you, I think we're entitled to assume how superior Glidartz is to Laxus because we don't know for sure.

You don't know if he would win with Hades with Devil Heart. Um...

I doubt his heart still works if he sent a few miles in the in the ocean drowning.
People need to understand that Gildarts didn't use his speed feats in the start of the fight. Near the end, he sent bluenotestinger flying against a wall. Then he got there instantly/poof speed and sent him orbit and divided the clouds. Bluenotestinger couldn't react to Gildarts speed.

That's going a bit too far, Tenrou Glidartz ain't beating full power Hades.

well, he didn't see Gildarts unleashed after 3 months. I guess he was comparing pre skip Gildarts to Jura. plus Laxus has Fairy Law. even if Gildarts is stronger than Laxus he can still pull off a win with Fairy Law

Where is your evidence for any of this?
Gildarts has casual mountain busting punches and speeds that Hades couldn't react to. He would demolished if Hiro didn't place him on his ass for the entire fight of Hades vs Fairy tail.

Hmmm Fairy Law is not working on characters who the user does not consider enemies!! So he can't use it on Glidartz :P

So could anybody answer a question that's been on my mind? What's the strongest Unison Raid we've seen? I want to say White Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang (apparently Rough Silk isn't a Unison Raid) but I'm not sure.

Also why can so many people do Unison Raids? They were introduced as something that only a handful of mages could pull of but we've seen a fair few.

Wendy+Gajeel+Natsu against that metal dragon in the Edolas arc.

if we are counting filler then the Unison Raid between Laxus' giant Lightning Roar+FT on Tenrou Island against Acnologia is the strongest Unison Raid so far.

not counting the filler, I guess its Rogue+Sting's Unison Raid although it was easily overpowered by Natsu' Secret Art.... much to my distaste.

 

[LucifeCollins]

That wasn't a Unison. Just Natsu using Wendy's winds to propel himself faster.

Well i go with other approach here ..
Magic strongly depends on Mage heart (imo) and if two hearts can resonate with one another magic can as well That's why when i saw Meldy and Juvia close to one another i knew that unison raid is incoming

As for strongest Unison raid so far i would probably go with Sting and Rogue or recent Juvia and Meldy ( we haven't seen to much of unison raids still Hoping For Kagura and Erza unison raid but dunno how would it look like )

I'm not really counting the filler, I actually forgot lol.

Not actually that many, I think only 4 in the series:
-Lucy & Juvia in TOH
-Wendy & Lucy against Hades
-Gray& Juvia in GMG
-Sting & Rogue in GMG
Jellal was right, Unison Raids aren't that common and the only two mages who can perform them willingly are Sting and Rogue
The strongest one I think is the Gray & Juvia one in GMG against Atlas Flame and Sherria & Lyon

Wait that was filler?

He doesn't show compassion. He just couldn't be bothered to crush that bug who was never ever going to be a threat to him anyway. Acnologia is after dragons not mere humans like Gildarts. He was after Serena because he was a dragon slayer and made it a point to destroy him. He is out hunting them. That is his mission. Gildarts was probably some random ant in his path that he instantly blitzed and couldn't give two shits about finishing off.

It baffles me how instantly getting blitz-stomped and maimed is considered a great feat now.

I think the best Unison Raid we've seen so far is the one you mentionned, without a doubt. The Sting + Rogue Unison Raid (i trust you for the name, my memory.....).
I don't think so many people can do Unison Raids though, we didn't see a whole lot of them. We've seen from the Twins, from Gray+Juvia, and Juvia+Meldy. Is that all? I might forget some.
EDIT: Was the Lucy+Wedy combo really a Unison Raid though? To me it felt like a normal combo.
But yeah i guess Unison Raids can happen if there's a strong bond between the two individuals. If Gray and Juvia's love story finally develops we might see a pretty strong UR from them, overshadowing the Twins's one.

well, I didn't read that manga part but some guy on this forum said that they didn't do that huge blast where Acnologia was pushed back.
