Mashima didn't have her defeat GS because beating the sisters is more impressive. Pretty simple. Midnight is absolutely a man, he is not in drag. Mashima likes his female characters better than his male ones. He's said as such in interviews iirc. He probably pits female characters against Erza...
Oh it definitely was, but all the strongest henchmen characters so far have been compared to Gildarts level and Gildarts was basically fodder to August.
Its possible that characters like Duke or whoever the next arc's henchmen are will be comparable to August and Irene. No shot for anyone else...
People will continue to come up with any cope they can to avoid the inevitable!
"Serena is a fraud, he's normal spriggan level that's why he thinks so highly of the sisters"
"Gildarts actually got stronger since the end of the OG series"
"Lusso and Ennie are frauds, the BDSKs are stronger...
Nope, he never says that. You're stretching. He merely doesn't sense any living magic power from Hisoria Serena. Doll Serena is never stated to be weakened compared to his living self. Meanwhile Historia Serena clearly was. Him being "dead" does not mean he is weaker.
Doll Serena has his...
I can't tell if you're trolling or not because Gildarts is clearly talking about Historia GS, who is vastly different to the doll GS that is stated to have his original magic and MP. But sure they're both "dead", ur comedy.
The best hype you can give the BDSKs that aren't Suzaku are that they have MP stated on Gildarts level.
Meanwhile Serena was stated as a direct equal or stronger than Gildarts back in the original series. The sisters are both stated to be stronger than that.
I truly feel for the Laxus fans...
Nope, Luso is massively stronger as evidenced by the fact that she made Erza + Jellal + Minerva run earlier on in the arc and is stated to be above GS.
š Bro I've had FDKM Natsu as the strongest good guy character since the Alvarez arc. I refused to make a mangahelpers account over the years bc of how negative a lot of the active users here are.
Erza > Gildarts is just facts now, same with Jellal > Gildarts. If Erza beats the other sister...
Minerva no shot. Jellal probably.
The issue isn't that Jellal couldn't beat Luso but that if Erza beats both sisters back to back with no help she's clearly wayyyy stronger than Jellal, Laxus, or any >BDSK tier
Ofc it does. Caster/Ability magic is always gonna be the strongest power system...
If we are to believe that Makarov, Gildarts, the Magic Council, Jura and the GOI, and God Serena himself were not just lying out their asses when they all said Gildarts and Serena were comparable in strength... yes.
