Anyone else could also join in.
I challenge all of you to provide feats, and if you do use hype to use it all around not nitpick what you want, 5 characters that you feel should be considered the top 5 in the Fairy Tail universe. Provide a legit argument for those feats presented and as a group people could decide which argument is the best and decide who truly is the top 5 in the Universe. Then after that we will proceed to the next 5 for top 10. Continue until the list is complete.
If you want to take up this challenge then all you have to do is quote this comment and Pick your top 5 and make the argument as to why using evidence and can use hype if you want to.
Rules:
-None of your picks can simply have hype behind them without any panels or feats to back it up.
Ex: Meaning you can't say Wolfhiem is a city buster without any city busting feats to go along with that.
-If you use hype you must use all Hype or no hype.
Ex: You can't say the GOI were hyped to be stronger than Jura and use that but say you aren't going to use the hype that all the Spriggan except for Irene and August are on the same level. Meaning you would have to use both or neither.
-Speculation is fine as long as there is some evidence to support or back you claim up. The evidence has to be relevant to you proposed speculation.
NO Bashing---Be Respectful
If you disagree with someone then you need to provide a counter argument with evidence. You can't just say you disagree. An argument must always be provided if you disagree with someone/something written.
I will say again that you post can't just be a wall of text without any sources like panels, tweets, etc. If you are going to say Hiro said something then the tweet must be presented or it must be left out of your argument.
Also none of that setting limits for characters that don't exist.
Meaning you can't say Brandish Mass magic or Dimira time magic won't work on someone more powerful than them without any evidence to back it up.
I love your idea. Actually we could even use polls. For example, I've read people saying Irene is above August, even when August was declared the strongest S12 member. I'll begin with Acnologia, August, Irene, Zeref and Igneel.
Acnologia
The first time we hear about Acnologia is soon after we meet Glidartz. Glidartz tells Natsu during his quest he encountered a black dragon who was evil and who casually barely killed him.
Glidartz proceeds to explain he got several organs, along with his leg and I don't recall, but maybe something else in less than a second.
Glidartz was probably speedblitzed and fodderized. He probably got this amount of damage in less than a second. Let's remember that Glidartz, by hype, is a beast of a character, so powerful that the city was built as a counter of his magic. His power has been soooooo exaggerated that I believe he'll still be a powerhouse when he returns. But that aside.
It's no surprise Glidartz got blitzed and barely killed even before he noticed. After all, God Serena, a mage who's supposedly vastly superior to him, got speedblitzed as well. And killed. Before a second.
I don't know about calculations but it looks like it happened in less than a second, and in less than a second he moved like 100 meters. In, what, 0,5 seconds? 0,2 seconds? That makes him match speeds right? In his human form. 3 Spriggan level mages, among which the strongest mage in Alvarez (and the a member in the top5, probably), who is August, seemingly couldn't react to his speed.
It's arguable whether in his dragon form is stronger than in his human form. What we know is that, during his first appearance, he was just playing around. And still, he managed to overpower everyone so badly...
Makarov couldn't even hold him, and we're talking about Makarov, who was probably among the top5 back in Tenrou!
And, of course, this:
He managed to withstand all of FT members' attacks without even a scratch. He was clearly toying.
Ah, he casually managed to burst an island.
But we know he's country level
It's true that Igneel wasn't at its full, but he still should be among the top5 as well, and look at his performance against Acnologia:
Igneel's nuke might've been Island level as well, maybe the strongest nuke we've seen appart from Acno's, and he was unharmed. Igneel managed to take his arm though, so he's the only known being to have hurt him. And handicapped. So Igneel should definetely be top5 unless we actually get to see characters like August or Irene hurting him, in which case, well, he'd still make it to top5 I believe.
Also, a couple of human form Acnologia's feats are tanking Irene's casual ball of fire
And creating an inmensely deep and considerably large hole upon raising his hand.
My question now is: do you think Irene (and August for that matter) would be capable of actually hurting Acnologia, in any way? If yes, she might be above or below Igneel; if not, they are below.
I'll discuss another character later.
Also, I don't agree with Zeref being superior to August or Irene. I guess you claim so because he's immortal, but he would be above Acno for that matter, and he's not. I'd say Zeref is bellow August and Irene, high spriggan level, but immortal. There are evidences but I'll find them some other time ^^
