1) http://img.mangastream.com/cdn/manga/3/3466/06.png - The nuke that August used was visible right from Magnolia and destroyed a good portion of where Natsu and co. were standing. The mountains don't even compare to the nuke's size.

2) Crash is like every magic. It has a weakness.

3) IIRC he isn't coated with crash, he used crash when Natsu attacked him.

4) Tell me this, if someone like Dimaria goes against Gildarts, can he win? No. Instant time stop = game over
Certainly agree with this, He's overrated. August and Irene are so strong that they should defeat Gildarts in low/mid difficulty. IMO, Even the Spriggans could defeat Gildarts.

It was stated that Natsu wasn't trying against Jacob because he would've destroyed the guild. As soon as he was out, he one shotted him. The spriggan 12 were said to be on the same general tier besides August and Irene.
it's not that Natsu wasn't trying. he couldn't go 100% against Jacob. he used his strongest mode (excluding DF) to finish him off. plus Jacob's durability is not that high.

Laxus nearly killed Ajeel in a single attack. So Laxus is clearly on Augusts' level.
lol what :blink

Gildarts destroys an entire mountain with ease. His attack is far larger than Augusts' attack, even Laxus nuke on Ajeel was larger
That was clearly not the case. August's attacked was visible half a country away, Gildart's wasn't. August's attack pierced right through the skies, Gildart's didn't. August's attack destroyed a good number of mountains too -.-

Even if that wasn't the case, AoE and DC do not equal attack potency.

If we're you're going by your logic than Laxus, Natsu, Gray are stronger than Gildarts.

Natsu one shottes Jacob with ease and Gildarts has better feats that Natsu.

Ajeel got blitz but Natsu when they first met, if that was Gildarts throwing a mountain busting punch, he's dead.

Brandish got knocked out by a karate chop. I think you know the result if that Gildarts.

Walh uses lightning and fire attacks just like Natsu. Gildarts can negate that magic destroy him.

Dimaria is the most overpowered spriggan 12. She could stop time and kill August and Irene. Gildarts is above Irene and August from what we've seen so far. And we haven't seen any of them go all out. So we have to wait and see.

Laxus was already a match for Gildarts during GMG. he is certainly above current Gildarts unless he shows us something and Natsu didn't beat Jacob effortlessly. he used his arguably the strongest mode with one of his strongest attacks. Laxus's casual nuke is bigger than his mountain punch.

What's funny? Laxus attack was larger than Augusts'. In fairy tail we know big ass attacks means damage.

August destroyed multiple mountains? And his attack wasn't seen from a country away, the panel clearly showed the FT guild to the left and Lucy and Natsu didn't travel that far.

Gildarts clearly is stronger in raw power. But his ability to negate magic puts hims on a whole other tier. He's top 3 in the fairy tail universe.

Makarov said Gildarts could match Jura which is a lie. Be jade if Gildarts was able to casually bust a mountain with his fist, then the mountain which the GMG is on would be destroyed.

not a lie. statements > headcanon. and it was not casually. casually is what Laxus did. you could clearly see that Gildarts put some effort in that punch.

smiling means nothing. Jacob was restricted and was fucked up. he used his strongest mode and one of his strongest attacks to finish him off. that's a fact.

Gildart put effort? That's why in the next panel was like "hold up a sec"
"Alright now come at me" he was fighting Natsu.

Do you think Gildarts can crash August's sleep Magic? LOL and It was stated that he knows more magic than zeref. I won't be surprised if he can also use crash magic. Ha. Ha. Ha. Even Bradman can defeat him

I like Gildarts and all, but what feats does he have that put him above the likes of Natsu and Laxus? I know he destroyed a mountain, but Laxus's nuke against Ajeel and Natsu's FDK punch against the war god are also arguably mountain busters. Other than that mountain busting punch, his only other good feat was fighting with Bluenote on par for a while until beating him (the same Bluenote that Natsu recked with one hit).

I know Gildarts may have trained over the timeskip, but we can't say that based on what he's shown pre skip, he can be considered stronger than Laxus and Natsu.

Imo, the top 10 wizards at the current arc, based on the chapter 489;
1) Acnologia
2) Zeref
3) Igneel powered Natsu
4) August
5) Eileen
6) DF Gajeel
7) Dimaria ( Age Seal )
8) Laxus / Gerard
9) Gerard / Laxus
10) Bradman

The tiers in fairy-tail ( Ishgar), to me;
God-like tier ( Acnologia, Igneel in a healthy and normal state)
Legendary tier ( Zeref and Igneel powerd Natsu)
High spriggan tier ( August, Eileen and DF Gajeel)
Average spriggan tier ( Average dragons like Atlas or Motherglare,Bradman, God Serena, Wahl, Dimaria, Jacob, Ajeel,Brandish, Ninehart)
GoI tier ( TO Sherria, Base Natsu, Base Gajeel, Erza, Hades, Mard Geer, Hyberion, Wolfenheim, Warren)
Wizard-saint tier ( Tartaros Gildarts, Jura, Makarov, Bluenote, Jose, Ur)
S-Rank mage tier
Average mage tier
Low mage tier

August destroyed multiple mountains? Are you blind or just actually retarded. And his attack wasn't seen from a country away, the panel clearly showed the FT guild to the left and Lucy and Natsu didn't travel that far.

Gildarts clearly is stronger in raw power. But his ability to negate magic puts hims on a whole other tier. He's top 3 in the fairy tail universe.
Lol XD, until Gildarts doesn't appear in this arc, we can only use Tartaros Gildarts' feats to rank him. Back then then he was on wz-tier but in the current arc wz-level characters are fodders ( Base Natsu oneshotted Bluenote) now!!! How powerful he is now, is just speculation based on hype and character potrayal but there is no evidence or fact to that

Dimaria and Jacob have hax magic but hax only works on opponets who are weaker than them or at best who are equal! Jacob wanted to use his transport magic against Acnologia but August stopped him because he knew it was sensless. The same logic should be applied with Dimaria's age seal otherwise alvarez empire could have killed Acnologia without much trouble!!! Kagura was already able to sense Dimaria's age seal, btw.

No need to be so aggresive and rude. Natsu and co traveled to the east of Fiore whereas Magnolia is located in the centre.

Again, he can't negate all magic. It has never been shown or stated. But let's agree to disagree.

Top 3? Igneel, Zeref and August whoop his ass with a one-shot. So do few of the other Spriggans but not a one-shot.

Natsu used one attack, And he was smiling the entire time meaning he wasn't trying.
And Jacob was restricted. If you take away Natsu's magic, Jacob would have not been trying either right?

Makarov said he might, he MIGHT know more spells than Zeref. And I bet 99% of those spells can be negated by Crash magic. August clearly lacks phyiscal strength and speed. He even lacks good senses because he got stabbed. Any Mage would've blocked that shit.

Gildarts has poof speed.

Gildarts punching 13 dudes instantly, and he can easily replicate it with more people. And with one arm.

Punching someone through an impregnable prison LARGER than a mountain. He didn't mean to hit him that hard.

Natsu had to charge that attack up while Gildart just causally threw a punch in the ground.

"Gildarts fought equally with bluenote and Natsu one shot him"

Gildarts was beating him until magic was drained. Then Gildarts got serious and one shotted him. A punch so strong it divided the cloud and stopped the storm on Tenro.
Gildarts broke his black hole.

Everything I've stated is based off concrete evidence. It's not speculation.

It was before he was damaged by Acnologia. LOL. Wow, so Crash Magic is the strongest Magic now! It can destroy 99% of what August knows! Wow! Gildarts should have faced Master Hades back then because Bluenote was so weak that he even needed to rest because of that intense battle. Go Gildarts! You should also crash even Age Seal for your magic has no weakness! or resist Jacob's transport! or crash wahl's etherion! or crash universe one!

I also want to add that August can also conjure barriers that can withstand Laxus' gigantic attack :)

Why are you bringing up Ice Trail? Didn't all this happen when Gildarts was still in his prime? The guy has a wooden leg, a wooden arm, and missing organs now... Either way:

He has poof speed in the perspective of fodder. I doubt he can still replicate something like that now since one of his legs are wooden.

Gildarts punching 13 dudes instantly, and he can easily replicate it with more people. And with one arm.
http://www.mangapanda.com/tale-of-fairy-ice-trail-koori-no-kiseki/4/18
Very impressive, but again, it was against fodder who probably don't have good reaction speed feats.

I don't see any dodging. I see lazer beams heading towards Gildarts while he smiles and crashes them in the next panel. However, I did read the whole chapter and there were indeed instances where he doged the laserbeams (which, again, were from fodder).

Punching someone through an impregnable prison LARGER than a mountain. He didn't mean to hit him that hard.
http://www.mangapanda.com/tale-of-fairy-ice-trail-koori-no-kiseki/4/25
The prison being larger than a mountain is irrelevant. He only destroyed a small portion of the bottom that isn't anywhere as big as a mountain.

Natsu vs GOW
http://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/434/14

"Casual"? Define casual please. Gildarts's teeth were bared and his veins were poping out of his arm and head.

"Gildarts fought equally with bluenote and Natsu one shot him"

Gildarts was beating him until magic was drained. Then Gildarts got serious and one shotted him. A punch so strong it divided the cloud and stopped the storm on Tenro.
Gildarts broke his black hole.
On what basis can you claim that Gildarts was beating Bluenote? Before his magic got drained they were shown canceling each other out and trading blows. Gildarts didn't one shot Bluenote. Bluenote took multiple strong hits before he was sent flying. If Gildarts had the power to one shot Bluenote then he would have done it from the start. The fact that Gildarts had to get serious to finish off Bluenote while Base Natsu simply used a casual roar should tell you that Tenrou Gildarts isn't as strong as him (or Laxus).

Gildarts is way too overrated *sigh*. You do understand that he can't cancel out all magic right? If that was the case, he wouldn't have lost to Acnologia before. Also, his mountain busting attacks compare lowly to the kind of characters we have now. August literally nuked the whole east with little effort, Irene casted a spell covering all of Fiore and Acnologia can literally bust entire countries. Gildarts's current strength is all hype and speculation but no feats.

Also Brandish shouldn't be that high. While her magic is certainly OP but Bradman, Dimaria etc have way more hax magic.
While I agree Glidartz is overrated, and until he makes an appearance it wouldn't be wise to say he's spriggan level, Byro (and I know he's a non-canon character but never mind) could cancel magic and, hey, Glidartz still beat him. Heck, even Yuka Suzuki can cancel out magic and he's fodder.

So, yeah, even if Glidartz could cancel out all magic (which he can't), he'd still lose to Acnologia lol.

August's nuke is city level, and that's being generous. Just look at the proportions. Irene casted a country level spell but that doesn't imply she has country level DC.

But I agre... as much as I like Glidartz, he is all hype and speculation. His best feat is a casual mountain busting which is still quite impressive though.

And for those who say that Natsu can beat Jacob (unrestricted) on a 1 vs 1, well, you're dreaming.

IMHO, currently, August and Irene are far more powerful than Glidartz until proven otherwise.

Imo, the top 10 wizards at the current arc, based on the chapter 489;
1) Acnologia
2) Zeref
3) Igneel powered Natsu
4) August
5) Eileen
6) DF Gajeel
7) Dimaria ( Age Seal )
8) Laxus / Gerard
9) Gerard / Laxus
10) Bradman
I'd put Dimaria (age seal) above DF Gajeel. And if her hax is limitless he should be 1) LOL

As for 10, I would put there someone with some hax (Brandish -mass change-, Jacob -transport- or Mira/Shaila -macro- IF their haxes don't have limits) or even God Serena, since I consider him superior to Bradman.

Even with Age Seal she will not be above Zeref.Zeref himself knows Time Magic and so he can cancel out her Age Seal.And argurably Acnologia can't be hurt even with Age Seal.

I know haxes have limits. Thus, the "if". I don't know of any reason why Acnologia couldn't be affected by Age Seal, but I abide by the NLF, so, no, Acnologia will always beat Dimaria.
