I still think that gray is not far from the spriggan 12..once he used his Des powers he blitzed the crap out of invel..but he's going to be stronger later when his darkness will awakens(sasuke...)

Gray can destroy Jacob and Neinhart. its not that hard to be none existent Spriggan tier, considering that Jacob' and Neinhart' stats are thrash. only Jacob has some decent durability but that's it. even that is debatable.
evil Gray would be badass. he might as well mop the floor with END, considering his magic is super effective against demons.
First of all, while I admit Natsu is Spriggan tier, he is still low-mid tier and according to me, he can beat only Jacob, Neinhart and Ajeel, and possibly Wahl. I'd also like to correct some things over here :
You dont need to solo a spriggan to know when the mage in question has shown feats above and beyond what only August and Elaine have shown. Feats wise, hyped by enemies wide
He ko'd k a spriggan with a single hit when he got serious
Evaporated an entire lake
Hyped by branish as not believing Natsu could take out said spriggan
Tanked a fraction of a mountain level spell by the strongest spriggan, august
The only mage to break out of invel's absolute ice magic, and freed others around him at the same time
And more! Natsus fight are going to be less than 100 pecent until the final chapter of the war, but until then, ACCEPT the facts and feats.
Let's not forget Jacob was getting a bit damaged by Lucy, indicating his ridiculously low durability. That and without Transport, he is literally nothing.
He only 'tanked' that attack because it was a HEAT-based attack.
He did break out of Invel's ice but it took him approximately 2-5 minutes whereas Invel can just casually freeze him instantly again and again. They are not on the same level.
And @Kantos@lakhan220 We really can't know who will fight Zeref between those four. It could be literally anyone - its upto Mashima.
Secondly, take this debate to Alvarez Arc Power Ranking thread :3. It's completely unrelated to the chapter.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---
OH SHIT, sorry I had left this thread open a while back and when I came, it didn't notify me new posts were added so I thought the same topic was going on LOL.
This! Natsus magic BURNS other mages magic. He burned Zeref's black magic, invels ice... his very aura is deadly. Natsu's strength is the key victory, i just wish my main man Laxus was up and stomping.
Although Natsu only managed to burn Zeref's magic with Igneel's flames. And Zeref was not even serious. But anyways, we can discuss this in the Power Ranking thread if you want.
I still think that gray is not far from the spriggan 12..once he used his Des powers he blitzed the crap out of invel..but he's going to be stronger later when his darkness will awakens(sasuke...)
@atomic_2000 We cannot say for sure it was 2-5 min.....It could have been a few seconds (LIKE in H x H).....But , yes , ZEREF was not serious....He did use his magic which NATSU burned off.Also ,the last effect of his flame is unknown as we have not seen that.....
As for NATSU , we will soon find out..He has tons of fight left....We will discuss it later.
Contrarily thinking , if IGNEEL's flame could only do this much damage , how strong ZEREF really is ? Similar about ACNOLOGIA.
I just want MAVIS to be free by cha-500 if possible.
Will GRAY's darkness / evilness be strong than NATSU's / END's darkness? .......Moreover , if just single handedly GRAY was going to defeat END, Mashima would have brought END much earlier...Not only GRAY , HAPPY & LUCY will play an important part in bringing NATSU back to his senses after his transformation.
It is also possible EVIL GRAY realizes he is no match for the being against him....Similarly is possible END brings EVIL GRAY to his senses.
That's very less likely to happen considering Gray's effectiveness and magic shows he's definitely a match for END, and possibly can kick his ass, and foreshadowing is far greater for him to defeat END (stated by Invel himself) rather than the other way around.

No , the so called DeS or the ace in the hole is not surely going to work....INVEL wants GRAY to defeat.It is not surity GRAY will defeat....And , about the effectiveness , it will not work if END is much stronger than EVIL GRAY........Even ULTEAR wanted GRAY to defeat HADES...It was the 6 of them including LAXUS main being NATSU.
Evan ZEREF wanted NATSU to defeat him during TENROU-arc when he realized he is still not strong enough.......INVEL just wants GRAY to fight because of DeS. He does not know a thing about END's true strength now , does he?
So , as it has taken this much time ,it will be the collective effort , not GRAY alone.......It is also a possibility the other way around .EVIL GRAY getting his ass kicked......./.
@lakhan220
Invel casually froze Natsu and his flames quickly compared to Natsu having all the time and space to break out of it all the while using his body heat.
If it wasn't for Gray, Natsu would've been dead if Invel pushes frozen Natsu and makes him crack into pieces.
He did break out of Invel's ice but it took him approximately 2-5 minutes whereas Invel can just casually freeze him instantly again and again. They are not on the same level.
Well, to be fair, we're still talking about base Natsu here. If Natsu goes in with FDK mode, I doubt Invel would have nearly as easy as a time freezing over Natsu's flames. I'm assuming the difference in heat between base mode and FDK mode is similar to the difference in damage. Also, I'm assuming that Natsu's body wasn't frozen solid through (much like Mavis wasn't), or at least his brain wasn't, because he would have to have been conscious to be able to use magic to melt away the ice. Attacking Natsu whilst he's frozen wouldn't necessarily shatter him, though you can argue that Invel would be able to land free hits whilst he's frozen.
First of all, while I admit Natsu is Spriggan tier, he is still low-mid tier and according to me, he can beat only Jacob, Neinhart and Ajeel, and possibly Wahl. I'd also like to correct some things over here
Personally I don't think there is a large power difference between the Spriggans other than August, Irene, and Invel. Ajeel's, Jacob's, or Neinhart's durability should be no worse than someone like Brandish' or Invel's. Certain Spriggans have above average durability due to the nature of their magic enhancing their physical constitution like Dimaira or God Serena. Certain Spriggans have magic better suited for brawling like Wahl and God Serena. Certain Spriggans rely on what Mashima calls "cheat magic" to avoid direct confrontations in combat like Dimaria or Jacob.
Let's not forget Jacob was getting a bit damaged by Lucy, indicating his ridiculously low durability. That and without Transport, he is literally nothing.
Not necessarily. The attack didn't seem to do any major damage on Jacob, and a small amount of bruising happens to the best of characters. Ajeel was slightly bruised when Natsu punched him and Dimaria was slightly bruised when Wendy and Chelia kicked her. I don't see those attacks as being particuarly noteworthy, and the damage they dealt didn't really take away the impressiveness for the Spriggans.
It can be argued whetehr Jacob's primary magic is probably not transport, but stealth. Remember, Jacob is still technically an assassin, and so stealth magic can allow Jacob to literally assassinate people. People say Dimaria is invincible because nobody has a solution for age seal. If Jacob plays his cards right, nobody should even know of his existence.
To be sure, Natsu didn't tank all of the attack. He negated the what I will assume to be the majority of the attack, and was able to endure the amount that he couldn't negate. That's why Happy, Lucy, and presumably Mest all survived the encounter. I think this falls into the same category as Gray resisting Invel's attempts to freeze him.

Why do you believe it's not going to work? What makes you believe it isn't? Invel said Gray is the one to defeat END, he didn't mention his preferences.
END isn't going to be that durable that magic that is super effective against him is somehow "not going to work". END doesn't have the hype to be even that strong in the first place. Ultear wanted Gray to use Iced Shell to kill two birds in one stone. Invel on the other hand stated what he feels is going to happen, not his wants.
Zeref wanted Natsu to defeat him. Invel is close to Zeref, so I'm sure he has an indication of END's strength.
Possibility favours mine more due to magic effectiveness, and foreshadowing, plus END will be the villian most likely, and that's where Gray will also be granted more plot armor, and so the possibility of Gray kicking END/Natsu's ass is a lot more in my favour with those things involved.

I know You do not like LUCY....But then tell me when will LUCY play her part rather than currently here in END's part?....excluding ZEREF's defeat.
But , I m really surprised ch-499 is about GRAY & JUVIA.But u have not even commented a single thing on that as far as I remember.Are u that much against GRAY & JUVIA fighting together ? ..

Natsu didn't evaporate an entire, his BDKM with Igneels flames didn't even melt rock and the radius is not as large as the lake. http://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/464/20
Natsu at his peak, we will never see Natsu this strong in the story.
That lake is way larger and Natsu wasn't in his prime. To be Spriggan level, you need to be able to keep your pants dry when facing one. Natsu shit his pants when standing by Brandish. You don't see other Spriggans sweating cause another spriggan is stronger. Even with Irene and August.
He used a mode and his strongest attack. Natsu was bathing in Atlas flame, August doesn't mean jack shit.
It took Natsu a while to break out of the ice, he would've gotten demolished if Gray wasn't immune to the cold.

No , we will see even a much stronger NATSU in the story.....His END transformation which will give him a boost if he will learn to control his demon form...
And a much advanced level in DS when fighting ACNOLOGIA.
As for shitting pants, not only NATSU , GRAY , ERZA and even LUCY shit their pants when they first met and saw BRANDISH.
Just being surprised / afraid at first seeing the unseeing doesn't mean he is not at that level / he cannot reach that level.
Moreover , even in ice , only INVEL would have hit him a few times...Not destroyed him / demolished him....NATSU might have used cover of his flame much like MAVIS used when she was frozen.

END form? End is Natsu, if Zeref wanted to die and Natsu had a stronger power to kill him he would've activitied it. And if Mard Geer was right, END feeds off the enptiness of magic which can never happen since FACE is gone.
Dude I don't care about the rest of the members, I'm talking about Natsu. He shit his pants when seeing Brandish. She didn't sweat nor did she look at them in awe.
Wow Natsu can cover his body in fire! Invel totally didn't freeze Natsus fire instantaneously when Natsu tried to warm the area up.

Really now , I m biased .....I said NATSU might have covered his body in flame-cover..Have u never watched NATSU's body on fire?......INVEL froze the area.Similarly, NATSU melted the ice in blizzard....
By END form ,I mean his demonic powers........ZEREF said END is his strongest creation & the only one with power to kill him... END was sealed due to some circumstances which MARDGEER himself did not know.Also the concentration of magic was low 400 years ago....Why & what was the reason > We do not know that......ZEREF also said "You can do it.Try & surpass me ...NATSU or END" It is a possibility his demon powers might give him a boost which are currently sealed in a book.
So , u mean just once NATSU was afraid means he has no potential to defeat ZEREF or ACNOLOGIA...Similar was the case with him when he first saw GILDARTS power & HADES dark magic.....In the end , he was the one who motivated others leading to HADES defeat.
My only point is u can't judge someone with just one fight or certain circumstances.That's all........NATSU will even reach near ACNO's level in near future.

Acnologia demolished thousands of dragons, Natsu isn't even able to beat a dragon with his time skip power.
End is Etherious Natsu Dragneel, power alone won't be able to kill Zeref. He has the curse of contradictions meaning once he feels he will die similar to Mavis. That's the reason he brought back his brother, the one he loves the most. Acnologia is a powerful guy but he doesn't have an emotional attachment like Natsu does.
It's inevitable that Natsu will defeat Acnologia to avenge his "father" Igneel. But we've seen Natsu at his prime and we will never see him that powerful ever again. Where's your proof that Natsu will be nearly st Acnologias power level?
August shit his pants at Acnologia and Natsu isn't even close. Natsu didn't beat Hades alone lol. Natsu is getting stomped by pretty all the spriggan.

For the amount of development and timeskips we've gotten, Natsu is still really weak for an MC of a Shonen. I'm expecting him to turn into some Vasto Lorde type demon with END, then attain a much higher base power than before

Once again , u r assuming...I told NATSU motivated others after they were afraid of HADES magic.....
NATSU has always gotten stronger when needed...he still has tons of fights left and u r saying we have already seen his prime.....LOL
Where is ur proof NATSU will stay at this level only / he will not surpass his current prime.....So u r contradicting yourself..You r saying just power is not enough to defeat ZEREF and u r applying that logic for ACNOLOGIA ?]
So NATSU and other DS will defeat ACNO without powerups or just because it is inevitable.....Are u really aware of what u r saying ?
For my proof ,read FT manga , u will come to know how NATSU has become powerful after each & every fights....And , how he really got strong....YOUR answer lies in previous chapters.
lol guys, Natsu is the main of the main characters. he will end up being the strongest. that's obvious as day. he will probably solo Acnologia. the moment when Hiro decided to kill off Igneel by Acnologia' hands was the moment when he basically confirmed that Natsu will be strongest creature at the end of FT. there is also Ankhseram but he probably won't even appear. even if he does Natsu will beat him.
I'm not too much bother by it, considering how this manga/anime is written.

oh I know you never said that. I'm speaking in general. I mean, its pretty obvious that he will be the strongest guy at the end of this manga. if he doesn't then I will be shocked. I might as well die from that shock.
but yeah, he is not the strongest in this arc. far from it. he is heavily overrated.

END is only strong because there no counter. It feeds off the emptiness of magic and since people can't fight back he's strong.
Natsu isn't surpassing Igneel, if I only took 1 year of training to get to a dragons level people will call that bullshit. Natsu wielded one the strongest magics and lost it. There's no way he's surpassing that, this is the last arc of Fairy tail. After this the story ends.
