Yeah his physical strength is off the charts.He stopped Archenemy with just 2 fingers and shockwave from same Archenemy destroyed a portion of Crocus,one of the largest cities in Fiore if not the largest.
I doubt it because Larcade is a Dragneel. So he will be the one to one-shot others and not vice-versa. Natsu will one-shot non Dragneel characters like August
I don't see Natsu one-shotting Larcade either, but I also don't see him one-shotting August. August, Irene and Larcade are the TOP tier of the Spriggan 12. We're talking about the first two mentioned as the strongest male and female mage in the world. Not just a country. And Larcade is on par with them. We all know that now, with Larcade stating he's a special case like those two, but the only way I can see Natsu one-shotting anyone of that caliber is to be fully awakened as E.N.D. I'm hyped for it though! August said that if Larcade were to even be defeated it would be by Mavis' hands. So there's that battle. I see Irene vs. Erza.....given. August, hmmmm. That's a mystery to me. Maybe Natsu, but with some INSANE effort. Even then I doubt it would be a win unless it's him as E.N.D. like i mentioned before. Another possibility is that August has some artifact that gives him his immense power boosts that gets destroyed and weakens him. Something similar to Hades and his heart. Possibilities for fights and match-ups are endless, as with the outcomes. Either way, I can't wait!!!

Natsu has FT guild mark while Larcade doesn't. he stomps.
Natsu will probably be unconscious for a while like Gray and when they wake up, theyll take on Zeref together along with some other characters. I expect August to be taken out by Power of feelings boosted Jellal and maybe Gildarts. Larcade will be nakamified by Mavis and as he is about to switch sides, Zeref comes in and kills him or smth like
If Natsu were to face Larcade, he sure would stomp. He can do anything because the wank is real. But i dont think Natsu will get to fight Larcade and will face Zeref instead.
Yes it could be physical strength, for sure. It's the simplest explanation.
I dont see it. There isnt any aura surrounding his fingers or anything. There is no magic in the blue square as far as I can see, the stuff around the hand is to show momnetum/movement (so is the stream following the hand). He basically just used 4 fingers as a piercing attack similar to what Acnologia did with his claw against Serena.Yes it could be physical strength, for sure. It's the simplest explanation.
But I speculate it's his magic, rather than his physical strength. He uses his 2 fingers to stop an attack, and the other hand can divert the attack.
He had to use magic to hurt Kagura (blue square) he didn't hit her.
It really seemed like the 2 finger thing was pointed out for us (top panel of the 2nd page) to demonstrate his magic Kinda like DiMaria clicking her teeth. Or, it could just emphasise his ridiculous strength.
Those are Kaguras. The panel basically shows Kagura taking multiple swings at Larcade in quick succession all of which are met with Larcades two fingers.The last panel of the 1st page... Those slashes are Kagura's or Larcade's?
If he's using strength to hit her, when did he touch her? She's too far away, given his stance, and the sword itself furthering the distance between them. He could hit her, but he'd have to drop his left hand... or at the very least move his feet.
He cut her down with his hand, he even have a stream of momentum following it. Kagura is simply drawn a little farther then she should have been, its just an artistic inconsistency (not the first and not the last), I don't even see her left arm in that panel. If he could stop Archenemy with two fingers cutting her down with his hand shouldn't even be that hard.
Where is the stream of momentum following through? If you're talking about the right hand (blue square) those 'streams' would be like 10-20cm. The panel's perspective makes it appear like he's moved, but those streams are barely longer than the width of his sleeve.
Again, its simply an artistic inconsistency, the same inconsistency that had hiro forget Kaguras left arm in that very same panel. Im not really sure what you mena by switch his orientation. The sequence of events goes as follows:
Okay, but how do you explain Larcade hitting Kagura. Keep in mind he doesn't move his feet (or he might have just not shown), and he keeps his left hand on the blade.
The top panel shows Larcade stop the blade with his left hand, his arm is straight down just like the bottom panel. It implies this arm is fixed in position, yet he's still able to hit Kagura.
I can agree with that, you cannot see anything. And it could be a totally magicless display. But it's not certainly that way. When we first encountered Age Seal, you could have suggest that DiMaria is that quick she could cut people's clothes up. I'm only speculating.
I was mainly referring to the angle, but I do agree he doesn't move. That's why I find it hard to believe he hit her. Moreover I couldn't compare it to Acnologia's hit on Serena, since he physically moved to make it happen.
Like I said before, the thing that is confusing you is the art inconsistency. Am I correct in saying that you believe Larcade used some sort of magic because his reach wouldn't enable him to slash her? What I am saying is that Kagura only looks far because of art inconsistency, hiro simply did not look into exactly how close Larcade would have to be to hit Kagura like that. The fact that Kaguras left arm is missing is proof enough that it isn't some hint at Larcades magic, its literally just him cutting Kagura like butter. I feel like its just overanalyzing it.
Why would he move his entire right arm then in a cutting motion and blood splattering out of the area he would have hit (not the fingers which is what Kagura hit). Thats not a shockwave, those black lines signify that Kagura is in movement.
)
If you ignore the inconsistency, and just think about how someone could block Kagura's sword like Larcade did, and maintain his stance... then is it possible for him to slash Kagura with his hand? No.
How is this a proof of anything?
