Fantasy August vs Irene

[The President]

August knew he couldn't defeat Acno so he decided not to fight. Irene knew that she had Universe One if worse came to worse so she did not really have anything to fear. Although people really like to overrate how easily Acno would be able to defeat them, definitely wouldn't be a stomp or even a Easy-Diff battle for his human form.

On that note August defeats Irene Mid-High Diff (closer to Mid-Diff). August is stated to be the strongest individual among the spriggan, Irene is simply stated to be to women what is August is to the guys (ie the strongest). Plus, Irene seems to be more focused on support magic so whereas MP wise they might be similar, August is likely better then her in combat.

Irene high diff maybe EXTREME on hype.

Hype wise-Irene EXTREME diff

Feats-Irene high diff

Not to mention Irene can possibly enchant her own power

By portrayal, I'd say it's a tie. By feats, i'm leaning towards Irene right now.




also, Irene should win this because she's erza's relative.

I can't really say for certain to be honest. Feat wise, Irene has got more going for her, and her first big spell was one of the most impressive in the entire series, but if we're talking hearsay and hype, then certainly August. He's the leader of the Spriggan 12 and he's supposedly mastered most or all types of magic. However, I feel like we've deliberately been told very little about Irene, and so I believe that she's going to be far more powerful than people think. I'm undecided as of now

Let's observe the most recent chapter of Fairy tail. When Rahkeid was casted, August was not affected at all. In fact he criticized the magic (http://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/508/16). Irene on the other hand was not so lucky. She was visibly affected by the magic. One could argue, that neither Erza or Wendy were affected, therefore you cant use the power of Rahkeid as a determining factor, but Rahkeid works on adults not children. Therefore, August must have a way to counter this magic that Irene does not. I'd say that makes him stronger.

Irene was weak against Rahkeid August wasn't. There's a reason for that

This is clearly not a stomp though, aside from it has been stated in the manga that she's the strongest female spriggan. It has been also stated by Brandish that excluding Irene there is no other mage in existence who can stand up to August, therefore they're on par with each other. Though I agree with you that August wins, this is still not a stomp, it will take high difficulty for August to take her down.

Irene was visibly shaken by Rahkeid August was not affected. So there you go

That doesn't really necessarily imply August > Irene, there are several possibilities on the situation:
a) Irene is a non-virgin whereas August is a virgin therefore it doesn't work on him
b) August has not really committed any sins, he's always been wise and kind. Irene, on the other hand takes great pleasure in torturing others.
c) August has countered it somehow.

Also, Zeref was affected by it too. Does this mean August > Zeref? I don't think so.

As for the children part, do remember children are considered as pure of heart, therefore it likely didn't work on them.

Irene was visibly shaken by Rahkeid August was not affected. So there you go

If you're going to read the manga, Rahkeid said that those who already tasted the FRUIT OF PLEASURE are impossible to be not affected by that magic. Therefore, if you're not a virgin anymore then you will be affected by it. Did you see that Erza, Cana, Wendy, Juvia and Yukino aren't affected?? It's because they're virgins. Same with August, he's still a virgin that's why he's not affected by Rahkeid's magic, not because he's stronger than Irene. So there's that.

Let's observe the most recent chapter of Fairy tail. When Rahkeid was casted, August was not affected at all. In fact he criticized the magic (http://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/508/16). Irene on the other hand was not so lucky. She was visibly affected by the magic.

Therefore, August must have a way to counter this magic that Irene does not. I'd say that makes him stronger.

I debunk that statement. You said that Rahkeid's magic only works for adults?? Where it has been stated?? If you really read the manga, those who are NON-VIRGINS anymore are the only ones who can be affected by that magic. Even Wakaba, Erza, Yukino, and Kagura who are also ADULTS were not affected by it. It's because they're still virgins. So you cannot make Rahkeid's magic as the determining factor between Irene's and August's strength because someone can argue that August is still a VIRGIN while Irene was NOT. That's why it only affects Irene and not August.

I'd say a tie. Both are IMMENSELY powerful mages. August is the strongest mage in the world and Irene is a damn close contender for the title. Brandish, herself, said that the only person who could challenge him, Zeref & Acnologia aside, is Irene.

Power scaling in this manga are pretty messed up at times. EX: Larcade v.s. Sting....which is going on right now....with him being one of the top three, around the same power as August and Irene, he's getting bruised up by Sting. Despite the fact that he's not taking any serious damage so far, still....Sting shouldn't be near him at all. IDC what his powers are, Sting isn't one of the top 10 strongest characters in terms of power (MP or sheer damage), let alone near one of the top three Spriggan's. Acnologia, Zeref, August, Irene, Larcade, E.N.D., God Serena, Gildarts.....these are all people who would be miles above Sting based off of either intel from characters or what we've seen. So how is it that he's able to do anything to Larcade? Hence the power scaling problem. I could be wrong and this isn't my manga but that's just how I see it. Call a spade a spade. Anyway, power scaling rant over.

Back to August v.s. Irene, I would honestly still say a tie. Possession of a lot of magic and using what magic at the right time are two different things. All it would take is for one of them to slip up and bam......match over. We've seen August get pierced by a dagger of insane size, due to Brandish being controlled but she shrunk it to a negligible size. If Irene enchants the rocks to stab him like that, I can see him dying from the wounds. But he could also so the same. I could see a lot of cancellations to magics from Irene on August's part but also see MANY power-ups on Irene's due to enchantment. It's like a who hits who with the right spell at the right time first. That's why I say a tie. If it's not, then I'd say August=HIGH diff or Irene=HIGH diff. Either way, not one of them would walk away unscathed.

Gah!!! Why'd this thread have to be made? Huh? LMAO, jk.

 

[Brandish μ]

Does the "Queen of Dragons" have more hype than the "King of Magic"? Maybe being a "high enchanter" is Irene's secondary magic.

Now we have an example from both of them "playing around" with wizards of Isghal.

Spoiler: Irene

Spoiler: August

I like August' just a bit more. And he did make Irene step off. So he still has the win for me against her, barely.

 

[Jko]

Irene still has better feats than August so I'm going with the Queen of Dragons.

 

[Demon Hunter]

well, she is called The Queen of all Dragons so logically she should be stronger but we don't know what she was back in the past so that hype is currently still on going.

August just have some many magic on his side to counter Irene.

just look at Jellal+OS. August countered every last one of them.

MP wise, they are equal but in battle August wins until Irene shows more.

 

[Static]

A bit of elaboration on my original post :

Both are portrayed and shown to be on the same level. Hype wise, Irene is greater because of her title of Queen of Dragons but August has much greater versatility and he did make Irene back down. So I'm gonna give this August extreme difficulty.

 

[Seven777]

August cause he's the general of the twelve, feels like the station appointed to the strongest, if it were for intelligence or something like that then Invel would be general.
Also cause he is more versatile, knowing every magic is bound to come in handy in a fight, he probably even knows enchanting magic, hearing Eileen's thoughts would probably be pretty useful too

 

[EmptySoul]

Irene wins high diff

Queen of the dragons

MILF

Erzas mom


I think its pretty obvious who wins in both power and looks

 

[Static]

Irene wins high diff

Queen of the dragons

In looks : August

In power : August

In personality : August

In loyalty : August

In villainy : August

It's undeniable and you know it

 

[EmptySoul]

Lol

The loyalty part is the only true one tho

 

[Arjuna]

Is August really more loyal to Zeref than Irene

Left the GOI and Jura alive

Pierced Mira and saved her from torture.He knows Sound Magic and should know Brandish healed her.


Left Jellal and CS alive



August is in fact in secret a warrior from Ishgar.

 

[Nemispelled]

There isn't really anything else to say about this anymore...

While Irene was damaged and hurt by Erza and Base Wendy...

August soloed Alvarez Jellal and the entire OS guild without any signs of injuries or exhaustion. He was able to dodge all of CS attacks and put them all down into the ground at the same time.

Jellal even noted his power, so I don't see Irene winning against August. In my opinion, August definitely secures this victory.

 

[Seven777]

Its either August>Eileen, or Erza+Wendy>Crime Sorciere. Cause Erza and Wendy's performance shits all over Crime Sorciere's.

Just compare the OS vs August to Wendy vs Eileen. The OS attacks August but are easily countered and overpowered by Augusts superior mastery over their magic, but when Wendy enchants Erza and Eileen tries to pull an August to counter it with her superior mastery, Wendy just counters that bitch right back.
Then we have Jellal helplessly getting floored by August's casual Reflection, and Erza dodging Eileen's casual explosions and cutting up some hats.

Someone here has to suck, and im not sure who it is.

Let's be fair to CS, we didn't actually get to see their performance because it was off-panelled. I'm certainly going with August >> Irene right now. Irene has been crap so far.
