Yes, which is why I said either one shot (if we are to trust August), or severely injure (if we are to balance it with that Ajeel himself stated)Lol i forgot about Ajeel but again Ajeel himself stated that that would not have downed him (then again he is an arrogant idiot so you might have a point here).
Personally, I'd put more weight to what August stated here.
Anyway, point was that Erza saw Laxus use one of his high end spells. I mean there aren't many spells that can one shot or severely injure someone like Ajeel, who tanked multiple hits from Erza
So there is something to compare to.
Let me provide you my counter argument.I see what you mean about Acno, but i disagree with you on that. Even as a mindless monster this should not have worked on him. This is RoT Acno, a far stronger version then Tenrou Acno. Makarov didnt do a thing. Like Zeref said Acno was playing with ants, and like Gildarts said he wasnt even serious. Compare that to a mindless rabid dog who was planning to destroy the world.
Let's assume a 5 year old kid is pushing me.
If I pay zero attention to him and doesn't resist, I will fall down. If I resist even mildly, I wouldn't budge.
Same logic here. Acno's dragon body acts only on instinct, and resists only to threats such as transport (like ships) or DS
Yep, that's all I am saying. There is no way to prove one way or another.As for Eileen and Erza MP thing, i go by feats, portrayal and i maybe some statements but yes its not like i can measure it lol
Overall i would say that they are still not comparable. Portrayal wise i just cant see Erza's power to be like characters stated beyond comprehension and in a completely different dimension just like August and Irene, unless Mashima said Fuck it lol
Oh, I forgot she said that about Suzaku. When did she say that? During their fight in Elentir?
We had previously thought Hades and Mard were on a completely different dimension. They were relatively even far above FT members in their arcs, than August/Eileen and even Zeref was in Alverez arc.
Yet FT top tiers surpassed or at least became comparable to them, from x791 to x792.
Point being, FT top tiers surpassing August/Eileen in MP after 1 year wouldn't be any more mind blowing, than the insane power creep we saw from Tartarus to Alverez
Honestly, it's shit tier writing. But this is how Mashima rolls. Personally, I maintain my position that "powercreep" should've never surpassed the likes of Hades, Makarov and Mard Geer.....for a good and consistent narrative. Makarov and Hades are treated as once in a lifetime genius, and Laxus' great potential is pretty much solely attributed to Makarov's blood.
Erza mentioned that about Suzaku when talking to Elefseria
