Just want to say God Serena was never portrayed to be Gildarts level. Not once.

His only feat of stomping the GOI could be replicated by any Spriggan.

When we are not sure, we always call in our guy @Axiomus because of official translations

What did Gildarts say about GS???

Was he his equal or close to it???

i dont know about aconologia and serena but august did not live up to his hype. only reason he had any win was because of his hax magic, not his powers. that is how he beat jellal gang. basically just like jacob transporting the entire guild.

I mean, it is August' power.

I absolutely hate that power to the core and sounds very Mary Suey like.

sure it is. but his feat is no different than jacob transporting the guild, or dimeria beating kagura. its just hax.
hardly a good way to prove ones hype.

August was pretty trash as a character, but being pitted as Gildart's enemy, and being shown as his clear superior, is itself a better feat than any other spriggan has. Gildarts is top dog in FT, if you're better than that then you're better than pretty much everyone, except Natsu I guess.
As for using hax as feats, pretty much everyone considers Dimaria to be by far the best of the ordinary spriggans because of her hax, it's the same for August. Hax feats are still feats, as long as the hax isn't situational

i guess
but i dont consider gildarts to be that above others in alverzec arc.
for me alverzec gildarts will beat alverzec laxus high diff (and laxus here has no magical advantage over gildarts unlike august)
hell i am pretty sure laxus could have beaten gildarts if the match condition was gildarts cant use his magic or something

in my opinion irene perfromed much better. and she killed her self not because of her limit or anything (a case that might apply to august). she had solid stats and did not relay on hax. meanwhile august literally was fighting no magic gildarts (and his stats are questionable too)

Meh, even if he aint that far above everyone, he was still obviously top dog. If you're better than the top dog then you're better than everyone else. Plus he's the only spriggan other than Eileen, his equal, that FT couldn't beat, so theres that too. But like all spriggans, August was less than his hype, sure. As for not using magic, Gildarts is all about physical combat anyway, and like I said, that's August's ability, no different than Dimaria beating Brandish with hers.

Meh, Eileen fought a lesser opponent and didn't do much better, arguably worse since August was in a much better state when he commited suicide, though Gildarts was also in a much better state than Erza. Eileen got trolled by Wendy several times in enchanting despite being a "high/master enchanter", and trolled by Erza in combat. Breaking the bones was good, but it's pretty much the only thing she has going for her, and even that couldn't stop Erza from busting Deus Sema. Overall her performance was pretty mediocre, not that August didn't have his trash moments too. That aside, August has beating Crime Sorciere under his belt as well.

he is top dog, no doubt. but like you said, he felt less than his hype.

Crime Sorciere is example of hax. serena beating goi is much more impressive. dimeria could have beaten Crime Sorciere jacob could have.
come to think of it laxus vs wahl and gildarts vs august had that in common that laxus and gildarts were basically not allowed to use their magic till the very end. august entire fight was trash, literally all he got is Crime Sorciere feat

wendy starting her trolling career from there i think. irene was never trolled by erza in combat though, not including that sema bursting and final strike. i think erza couldnt land a strike on her.
yes, zeref and irene fought a lesser opponent. but they got huge POF boost too. gildarts doesnt have feats near them

i also would like to add, irene was hit thrice. one when she was busy talking to erza and wendy attacked followed by erza. once when she was busy gawking at a loli to note an enhanced erza was about to split her head in two. and the last strike. August got hit i believe twice, one by cana cards and once by gildarts mechanical arm. that did him

Yeah, nah. Imo Jellal is above Age Seal, Neinhart crapping his pants has me mostly convinced(Erza is too, dw). Jacob couldn't beat human Mira, he ain't beating shit, taking down Makarov and trash don't impress me, and I don't even think he could do that twice. August on the other hand would beat Crime Sorciere as many times as it takes. That's what separates August and Dimaria from Jacob or Wahl, their hax is consistently OP. August is at the top of the food chain because of his hax, and so is Dimaria(within her peers).

Definitely
Meh, EIleen was raving mad against Erza at the end before she dragonized and she couldn't do shit while Erza talked about friendship lol, i call that trolling. Plus Deus Sema was the troll of the century.
Gildarts is still above her, so even if Erza's PoF rose her to Gildarts level, which I highly doubt, then that would just mean August and Eileen fought similar level opponents, which in the end just means they're both trash.

Just some posts from the first three pages.

no way God Serena is as strong as Laxus, he is far above Laxus!

I would put Serena above Laxus. I believe Laxus will be overwhelmed 1v1 Serena.

After what God Serena did it is pretty clear he is out of Laxus's league.

The Four Gods of Ishgar are the strongest wizards from Ishgar. I'm sorry, but I can't see a way that Laxus can defeat them. You overpower him way to much.

Laxus is not on god serena level .

Here is my ranking:

1. Acnologia
2. Zeref, August, E.N.D
3. Spriggan Twelve
4. Gods of Ishgar
5. Laxus, Jellal, Gildarts
6. Gray, Natsu, Gajeel, Erza, Mirajane, Kagura, Minerva
7. Lyon, Sting, Rogue, Rufus, Orga, Freed
8. Juvia, Chelia, Wendy, Lucy
9. Happy

1. Acnologia
2. Zeref
3. E.N.D
4. Spriggans
5. GoI/Jellal/Laxus/Gildarts/Makarov
6. Everyone else

Wow. The hype for the GOI, Serena included, was unreal then.

Hindsight. It's a wonderful thing.

Serena should be stronger when it comes to pure power. Unfortunately for him, the ladies' powers does not work in a conventional way. They won't have to play by the rules and face him in straight up combat where they'd likely be outclass. Rather they can incapacitate him with their magic. If they have intel on each other's abilities though, and Serena has luck on his side, he has a decent chance to beat them. His Historia was fast and strong enough to trade blows with a Gildarts who wasn't going all out. But taking into account Serena's complacent nature and habit of losing focus while talking too much, his odds of winning becomes highly unlikely.

@grey matter please don't kill me

PS: Age seal is also overrated. Mashima and Dimaria herself does not regard it as her most powerful ability. It was her first go-to move, and her last resort is actually her god soul takeover.

hm so you think Brandish' magic would work on him

what about others like country buster Jacob (with his punch) , Ajeel and Irene???

 

[aymen24]

I want to know
why everyone puts Gildarts above Serena.

In fact ... you have to prove that Gildarts = Serena, not Serena = gildarts

What did Gildarts do?

 

[grey matter]

If you think Brandish's magic work on him, so would Jacob's. These guys are all relative.

The only way Serena wins against hax Spriggans is if you consider him a special spriggan (which I do). IMO Mashima gave him special portrayal

Serena no diffed 3 GOI who are tiers above characters like Makarov, who in his weakened state required a FDK punch from Natsu, who one year earlier one shotted Jacob with the same move and 2 shotted fodderhart in his base. He briefly overwhelmed team Natsu, matched Gildarts in physical combat and managed to give him injuries while being severely nerfed as a historia.
The downplay Serena gets is unreal IMHO, but that's fault of mashima for not giving him much on screen battles. He was used as a hype tool for Acnologia, and then fucked over later by nerfing him against Gildarts

At which point do you think Dimaria's timestop would stop working? I.e name a character

Other than establish himself as Ishgar's strongest and keep up with August? Lmao GS is not even close.

waiting for my guy Axi to come although I don't think highly of him.

What did he do against August.....nothing
Just one hit thanks to cana....
Even someone like blunot.....He gave a good fight against gildarts.....(Even before the magic disappears from the island)

The only thing Gildarts has "The strongest in the guild" .....Except for this, we did not see anything from him....

Even Serena has "the strongest in Ishgar"
But at least he easily defeated the Saints........This thing gildarts won't even dream of

There is nothing that puts Gildarts on Serena level to me

He literally blitzed him many times but it's because of hax that saved him wym?
No, Azuma drained his magic right away. Gildarts ended it with one attack once he got his magic back.

So what if he defeated the saints? Literally so what?
Serena's title means nothing.

You can believe that if you want.

What have these saints done? Absolutely nothing. Warrod himself is fodder when it comes to combat. The rest of the two are featless. Even their magic is laughable. One transform to a wolf and other got a cheap immobilisation spell.
