August is more powerful. That's all there is to it. When Irene speaks about her power in Alvarez she proclaims herself the strongest woman. When August speaks about his power in Alvarez he proclaims himself the strongest Spriggan. That tells us all we need to know.

Why are people still debating this? August is clearly stronger than Irene, knows and does more magic than Zeref himself and is titled the "Magic King", what is there to debate LMAO? If Irene was capable of doing curses she might´ve had a chance, but without that, the only thing she has going against August is dragon mode, which August can still get around by with like med. difficult level, or lower if Irene tries casting anyother spells afterwards.

they were fighting on top of her and both causing damage. Who is this strongest mage that ever lived?
No they weren't, and if they were that doesnt make Motherglare look any better. It makes her look worse. If the mere byproduct of an attack from Rogue and Natsu is damaging Motherglare then what does that tell us someone of Augusts level would do?

August.

it literaly says both on peerless in skills.
Yeah from others, not from each other.

August Pis:
  • not using any magic
  • having to dodge cana cards
Irene pis:
  • wendy out enchanting her like 3 times
  • erza soloing the meteor with most of her bones broken
  • wendy tagging Irene
  • Wendy performing the same body switch spell out of nowhere when she didn't even know about it
  • Wendy enchanting a weapon with ds magic
  • erza slashing with one hand a dragon in her state
  • Erza somehow tanking every single nuke
  • Shit erza and wendy even proven to be challenge is PIS
See now here is the difference. What you have for August is ACTUALLY PiS whereas what you have listed for Irene is just what you think shouldn't have happened. PiS = Plot induced stupidity, none of what you listed is Irene being stupid unlike with August, so its hardly an argument.
After the most recent chapter August being above Irene is more then confirmed. Not only with him outright saying he is the strongest spriggan but with him using a technique that can wipe out all life in a country. And of course with him no-selling Gildartses strongest attack, which might just be the second best durability feat in the entire series (after Acno no-selling Igneels roar in dragon form).

After today's chapter it's pretty clear who would win...

1) August's trump card - has a hax magic capable of melting anything within the range of a country

Irene's trump card - A meteor which was said to totally destroy only the battlefield

2) August - Took Gildarts's strongest move and suffered no damage even under PiS

Irene - Got trolled by Erza and Wendy constantly while under PiS

That along with the nature of August's magic pretty much says he takes this easily.

yes august could most likely beat motherglare if he ds magic.
zeref and acno exist.

Yeah from others, not from each other.
so it was still stated. Even if it was from another character.

that wasnt Irene trump card tho. It was the strongest move she shown but unlike august she didn't need to kill herself in the process.

How do you know it wasn't her strongest move? She never used any other move stronger than Deus Sema. Go by feats pls

He could take out the entire GMG dragon squad if he had DS magic.

Zeref is considered an immortal and I am really starting to doubt he is stronger then August given that he is currently sparring with base Natsu, something akin to what Jacob did. Acno is considered a dragon.

so it was still stated. Even if it was from another character.
It was stated that Irene was the only one who isn't outclassed by August. Good on Irene I guess, that doesn't change the fact that August is above her, and I'd wager by a decent amount.

i never said it wasn't. i said it was the strongest move she shown but unlike august she didn't need to kill herself.
Ars-Magia literally shits on Deus Sema. Its by far and large the strongest technique in the verse, although he does need to commit suicide to use it. That said, I'd wager something like Melt is more impressive then Deus Sema. Not to mention all the other countless amounts of magic he would have.

not it wasn't. It was stated that both are the strongest individuals. While august is the strongest male Irene is the strongest female and that they both are peerless in skill It was also stated they she is the only person capable of standing up to him.

I never said it wasn't. I just said that even tho it is the strongest spell she shown it doesn't mean it's her trump card cause unlike august she doesn't need to kill herself or is even tired after using it. Melt is not better than deus sama.

One thing's for certain, he absolutely murders her in human form. There's absolutely no arguing this to be honest. There's nothing she can do against him in her human form. He can nullify and copy every magic she has and her physicals are awful compared to his.

August wouldnt even need magic to defeat her in her human form, she doesnt have anything offensively that can even scratch him. He would beat her to a pulp with his fists.

Nobody's underestimating Irene. August is just the epitome of a jack of all trades wizard.

- He has magic that allows him to negate and copy any caster magic.
- He has physical attributes that significantly exceed Gildarts, one of the strongest characters, physically speaking, in FT.
- He has a massive repertoire of magic.

These 3 things allows him to practically deal with nearly any situation he comes up against. There's nothing Irene can do in her human form. Her enchantments are caster magic and thus they get negated. She hasn't shown physical attributes that come even close to Gildarts let alone August. And last but not least, she doesn't have anywhere close to the repertoire that August has.

The one weakness August has is that he can't copy holder-type magic and that could've been deemed a legitimate weakness if his durability was weak like last week led us to believe, but it isn't. He took Gildarts' best shot and it did practically nothing.

Irene's only shot would be in her dragon form since it's only then when her physical traits exceed August's.

August no selling Gildarts attack would be after Zeref surviving Igneel powered Natsu's attacks.

But yeah, I consider August above Irene when we're just considering their human forms. However, with dragon form all bets are off. I believe Irene stands a serious chance of simply clawing August to submission. Though if August can cast dragon slaying magic on the scale of melt, he could probably KO Irene as well.

Zeref did not no-sell IgNatsus attack, and now that he is getting damaged by base Natsu his durability is becoming more and more questionable.

Yeah I don't see that at all. If he can tank a fully powered attack (to the point that Gildartses arm broke) with zero damage from someone at Gildartses level then I see absolutely no reason why he couldn't take Irenes dragon hits. He'd need magic against her dragon magic and damage her dragon form, but in as far as physical attacks go I don't see a problem in him avoiding them or taking them (at least in moderation).

W/PiS off he literally just summons a bunch of DS from Irenes past and lets them do the work. Heck, he negates her magic and uses it right back at her. August outright stated he is the strongest spriggan and its highly doubtable that he is unaware of Irene backstory and dragon form (given who he is and his position), see no reason to ignore that portrayal given what we know he is capable of.

Zeref was able to almost immediately recover from Igneel-powered Natsu sending him through the side of a cliff]He still survived multiple attacks from Igneel's power, and Igneel's power is several times greater than Gildarts'. Base Natsu can take out a few Spriggans, so being mildly scratched by him isn't really an argument against Zeref's durability. By the same standards, we've seen August impaled by Brandish. Zeref might be scratched, but he's still in good fighting shape. August resorted to a suicide attack after taking just one attack from Gildarts.

He takes out spriggan with FDK moves. And those are the lesser spriggan at that. Those arent really the same standards because August was caught completely off guard and in his regular grandpa form to boot. I don't see how you can possibly label it as "resorted" when he was virtually unharmed by Gildartses attack, in fact he got even more jacked up on magical power afterwards. The kamikaze was full on plot convenience to get him out of the plot as quickly as possible and nothing to do with Gildarts, its pretty obvious that if he so wished, he could have beaten down on Gildarts with his bare hands at that very moment. Thats a very dishonest argument you're making there and I think you know it.

Zeref didn't tank the attack, he was visibly damaged just from the first hit.

Neinhart was taken out in base mode, and Neinhart was enchanted by Irene to be beyond that of Brandish. I didn't find it obvious that August could have beaten down on Gildarts. If August could have easily dealt with Gildarts without resorting to his suicide attack, then it makes no sense why he didn't. It's not like wasting fodders, which is all that attack would have accomplished besides taking down Gildarts, was really worth dying for. In any case it doesn't matter. Zeref was able to take Igneel-powered Natsu sending him through a mountain. That attack had far greater AoE, and Igneel's power is far greater than Gildart's power, and Zeref recovered in a swift fashion. Zeref has the greater durability feat.
Zeref didn't tank the attack, he was visibly damaged just from the first hit.
Minor scratches aren't really anything. The only time Zeref seemed to have his composure compromised was after Natsu went FDK mode. Up until then, he was still in good fighting shape. If you want to get super technical, technically Zeref took zero damage from the whole exchange because his immortality healed him up afterwards.
