Lol keep making excuses for Natsu, you just can't seem to comprehend the foreshadodwing, logic and testament Gray has that Gray is the far more deserving to take down END. I mean you would literally understand when Mashima gave Gray this magic for that purpose alone, but the denial in you is very strong. Let me know when Natsu has a magic that is relevant to fight his innerself. Let me know when he has a personal history with a bad demon.No, it s u who is making excuses like Gray is DESERVING.....Just like GRAY's father, even NATSU's father IGNEEL told NATSU he will be the one to defeat END & he believes in NATSU....Even ZEREF stated "Only you or END will reach me" ......Compared to u , I m basing this on speculations from the manga....U r the one who is completely going berserk given the fact your boy GRAY is on the possibility of getting overshadowed.......Before , u were not ready to just accept the fact that GRAY will not defeat Invel solely.........
Juvia's assistance & my boy NATSU escaping on his own left you sour.Personal HISTORY, overlooking the fact that NATSU himself is more closely related to DEMONS....Oh , so just one arc & u r making GRAY MC.....He will forever be a support MC.....
You simply cannot accept the truth that END will forever be a hype...You already said ACNO is tiers above him when u don't have the slightest idea of how strong END really is? The whole continent's magic had to be exhausted in order to revive him........HMM, u r overlooking this fact / U r just ignoring it for ur theory for the sake of GRAY defeating END......
Again, i have proved it time and time again and i have no intrest and doing it again. You just missed out. Feel free to look back on past pages and chapter discussions. We dont need any more polls, or discussions about this. Again. You are part of an increasingly small group of people that dont see Natsu being capable of holding his own against a Spriggan there is just no reason i have to explain something that is getting clearer and clearer as the manga progresses. At this point, Natsu can solo Zeref and people would still say hes not spriggan level. I say that last part jokingly, of course; just emphesising some of the biased charater ability/power on Natsu that people have.We hardly come up on top? How about you actualul prove that Natsu can hold on against a spriggan on his own without any cheap shots, or distractions from a distracted spriggan, then we can talk. You have no rooms for your arguments considering Natsu's feats aren't sufficient to be on spriggan level. Yes, agree to disagree.
Yeah he might, but I don't see him canceling the DeS magic. but it would be interesting to see Gray using Invel's own winter against him, since Invel is fated to lose after all.
I ship Brandish x Lucy

Um you do realize that there are chances of Gray still soloing Invel right? The picture isn't completed.
You're just sour at opinions that Natsu isn't going to be the one to solo every character left and right. LOL Natsu is only blood connected to demons, he has no history with them, when his history with dragons. One arc, try two. It's evident that Gray is going to give END major damage.
LOL, we know he's weaker than Igneel by Zeref's words. So he's definitely not even close to be Acnologia level. END has fan hype that's it. Lol whole contintent's magic? Where you getting this from
How we are closer to knowing where Gray falls, when the chapter hasn't been released yet. I would say he's definitely as strong as Erza, that's for sure.Erza is very close to being in the Spriggan tier. She'd be the closest imo, above the likes of the GoI or TO-Sherria. But Gajeel is definitely in the Spriggans if we give him DF. Gray I will leave out as we're closer to knowing where he falls... right now he's not as strong as Erza.
Right now as in feats as of chapter 497. Erza has a whole fight against a Spriggan while Gray was seen struggling against Ur, albeit holding back, but still doesn't stack up next to Erza. And she was not low diffed by one at all...How we are closer to knowing where Gray falls, when the chapter hasn't been released yet. I would say he's definitely as strong as Erza, that's for sure.
Erza is very close to being spriggan tier? Despite the fact that she got low difffed by one? Okay there.
I don't understand why people keep rehashing the Ur fight even though it wasn't suppose to be a fight but is only there for character development. Gray packed more punch of ice against fodder than what was used against Ur to begin with. Historia fights are for character development, not power gaugement.Right now as in feats as of chapter 497.

My guess is that Erza and Gray are fairly similar in power.
It is clear u have not seen or read the TARTAROS arc where MARDGEER stated that it will require the exhaustion of whole continent's magic in order to resurrect END.....Mashima has given DeS for a reason...U can also look at it this way...Mashima gave him the magic so that he can assist NATSU in his inner fight against END........Even though he is turned in to slave playerLol keep making excuses for Natsu, you just can't seem to comprehend the foreshadodwing, logic and testament Gray has that Gray is the far more deserving to take down END.

...U never accepted the fact that someone will assist GRAY at first which forced u to swallow a bitter pill after these spoilers...Now , u want him still to defeat INVEL solely ..Gray showed his DeS.But , u still do not accept the fact that INVEL might still have an ace even after GRAY frees himself (assumption -he will not get help)........I don't hold this fight against Gray. But it is a fight he was in. It's better than his fight against the weakbots. Essentially Gray was strong enough to help Lyon through some stuff while facing a wizard saint level person. Still, this type of thing is not on the level of fighting a Spriggan. Gray's best display has probably been IM Silver, but I couldn't compare that to actually beating Ajeel (with help).I don't understand why people keep rehashing the Ur fight even though it wasn't suppose to be a fight but is only there for character development. Gray packed more punch of ice against fodder than what was used against Ur to begin with. Historia fights are for character development, not power gaugement.
I don't know how Ajeel was low-mid diffing before Bisca. This guy was cut a few times and used his best spell. In sandworld I agree that Ajeel dominates, but in the scheme of the whole fight Erza wasn't being low diffed.Erza in the whole fight against a spriggan was being fairly dominated. Ajeel would've mostl likely low-mid diffed if Bisca didn't assist her, so that indicates she's not close to spriggan level.
He KO'd Jacob at the time. It's the same as Jellal taking out Neinhart with Grand Chariot... but now Neinhart is healthy.He didn't completely destroy him, his just has a sore nose.
Gray used his devil magic combined with that other ice guy's attack to take her out. Ajeel would've lost to Erza? he used sandworld and was melting her and sand world didn't even tire him out. He could've teleported to Natsu and slice him neck open. What would've Erza done if they were fighting on the ground he brought out the Ant pit, sand wave? Nothing she would become a skeleton.I don't understand why people keep rehashing the Ur fight even though it wasn't suppose to be a fight but is only there for character development.

Mard Geer is a massive notabe liar, believing in his words even he bullshited about END being the founder of Tartaros is your own fault. LOL slave player, I would laugh if Natsu was turned into a slave playerIt is clear u have not seen or read the TARTAROS arc where MARDGEER stated that it will require the exhaustion of whole continent's magic in order to resurrect END.....Mashima has given DeS for a reason...U can also look at it this way...Mashima gave him the magic so that he can assist NATSU in his inner fight against END........Even though he is turned in to slave player...U never accepted the fact that someone will assist GRAY at first which forced u to swallow a bitter pill after these spoilers...Now , u want him still to defeat INVEL solely ..Gray showed his DeS.But , u still do not accept the fact that INVEL might still have an ace even after GRAY frees himself (assumption -he will not get help)........
When do u need magic to fight your inner self ? It is just a battle of wills........
I am sour......I never wanted NATSU to fight INVEL , GS, IRENE or even LARCADE....U r the one who is inducing GRAY to defeat this and taht and those and so on......You want him to support here & there......U yourself have receded from the fact "From defeating to major damage".....I m saying "Not even major damage just damage and assistance".
When does the MC need to have a bad history to fight VILLAINS ? They will fight even for the sake of their friends...........
You want GRAY to overshadow NATSU. Sorry ,never going to happen...Unless, MASHIMA starts FT-2 with GRAY as MC.......Nah , I doubt that will happen.

Gray used devil slaying magic in his base form though. I said Ajeel would likely low mid diffed Erza if Brandish didn't assist her. This is pretty much factual, didn't think I had to comment on this.Gray used his devil magic combined with that other ice guy's attack to take her out. Ajeel would've lost to Erza? he used sandworld and was melting her and sand world didn't even tire him out. He could've teleported to Natsu and slice him neck open.
Gray had plenty of assistance. Like with Silver, or when Ul "spoke" to Ultear, she would have owned him. Ultear saving him from being shot dead by mob dragons. It seems you favor Gray a bit much who has not defeated any foe without being directly aided and that is the point. He had purposely directed aid.It's safe to assume if you want, but I'm not buying it until I see actual panel all you want. Call me stubborn but I stick to what I see, not what people want me to see. Natsu went toe to toe with Zeref with Igneel's MP assisting him. Natsu is much weaker than Zeref without Igneels' MP
This can be applied to Natsu regarding plot assistance, since he has had assistance in defeating enemies that are far above him in power. Jellal? Natsu needed Etherion to win. Zero? Natsu needed Jellal's flame of rebuke to win. Zancrow? Natsu needed Makarov's assistance to win. Jacob? Natsu needed Makarov's assistance to win. Hades? Natsu needed Laxus's magical power to win. and yet certain people think he's going to solo Zeref and Acnologia -__- The examples show that Natsu indeed has that going for him. Basically Natsu's major victories has been through people helping him out.
Gray on the other hand has soloed characters without assistance.
Who's the one who are spriggan level through actual feats and not fanboy hype? Laxus, Jellal and Gildartz. The rest of the spriggans like Larcade, August and Ajeel are going to be taken down by combined team work. Natsu is definitely not going to solo one.
Main theme or not, Juvia hasn't flirted with Gray all that much in the current arc, especially in a serious warzone.
Gray didn't get any outside assistance against Silver. He won by outwitting Silver with Silver holding back for most of the fight. Again, even though Ultear was subjected to PIS, it still means that Gray won the battle by himself, without any one assisting him. Ul's memories simply a part. It's plot circumstanced. Gray dying from mob dragons was CIS based considering it was to remove Ultear from the story even though Gray could've put up the shield to protect himself. It's plot based. Maybe you should watch yourself more of Gray's battles, because he was not assisted or aided at all when he defeated Tempesta, Lyon, Sugarboy, Ultear, Rufus, amongst others etc.Gray had plenty of assistance.

It seems you favor Gray a bit much who has not defeated any foe without being directly aided and that is the point. He had purposely directed aid.
As for Natsu he went on the go. Just eating stuff that could have potentially killed him. But he managed. It is his talent and gift that he could deal with eating that. Since normally it would have killed him. Only Gajeel managed to eat shadow and that was only once. No other dragonslayer did this.
It is not that Natsu got a piggyback ride. He used whatever he had in the fight to win. So he ate it to get more power to defeat his foe.
You say if you are in a real fight and you pick up a stick to beat a guy you got aid from the person that left the stick laying there? Is that your logic?
Laxus is strong but not as strong as Natsu at full power. Or else Laxus would have eaten some fire flame to beat Hades...did he? And i suppose he will be facing a springan. Jellal yes, Gildarts yes also. That is not the point. The point is the main cast will be facing springan.
I see Natsu and Laxus being relatively equal in power to be honest. I know both have their own abilities but nothing Hax as of yet from either of them. But i'm pretty sure that you're underestimating the pure grotesque plot holes that mangaka can create just to promote their MC...Gray didn't get any outside assistance against Silver. He won by outwitting Silver with Silver holding back. Again, even though Ultear was subjected to PIS, it still means that Gray won the battle by himself, without any one assisting him.

Natsu managed thanks to plot, not some kind of talent. You can't seem to understand that Natsu eating people's elements means he got assistance from his victories of defeating them. If it weren't them, Natsu wouldn't have won, and yes he won while being directly aided and that's the point.
How is Laxus not as strong as Natsu at full power? Laxus didn't eat some flame because he felt Team Natsu should the job due to his own guilt as he even stated he was not worthy of defeating Hades.
realityHyberion was beaten by God Serena despite having 3 peers assist him. Hyberion did hurt Serena and he impressed August, but it's not like Hyberion was ever close to winning. Erza had help from a distraction and Jupiter. Ajeel had help from Marin. In the end Erza won. Is Serena stronger than Ajeel? Quite likely, but it's not like God Serena is much better than Ajeel. In that respect I would say Erza has to be given the benefit of the doubt over Hyberion.
Erza's probably not Spriggan level, but I think she's close. In her battle with Ajeel she face an opponent who couldn't be hit with swords. Once she figured out how to fight him, she was able to do damage and push him to Sandworld (Wahl even spoke of the quality of opponent to warrant such a spell). Erza did most of the damage against Ajeel (Jupiter probably did minor damage). But I definitely think Ajeel can outfight Erza with Sandworld, no question. Erza cannot deal with Ajeel in Sandworld - and there's not many wizards who can.
The only Spriggan I think Erza can solo is Neinhart, because she can squash his Historia... so it's a conditional win (not a standard one). Against someone like Wahl or Serena (less hax), I can see Erza losing mid-high diff.

Where's your evidence that Erza will get a power up to fight Irene? Last time I checked, she's taking Fairy Heart out of Mavis which will take 2 months of chapters.reality
erza will win the Neinhart and then will gain Irene getting some power up. as well as poor people like elfman and lissana will defeat Ajeel
They are saying this and that and the author does something completely different, then get pissed talking BS, nakama, etc ...
this is power level
He's generally stronger than Ajeel I feel, but it's not by much.Take me on what's going through your head when you said God Serena is stronger tha. Ajeel?
He can counter sandworld by using his dragon slayer senses. Also if he spams water/wind spells he's a chance of hitting Ajeel, and that might stop sandworld.God Serena can't counter sand world or sand tsunami. God Serena would be turned into a skeleton if he fought Ajeel.
I'm not, Serena would have a hard time even with direct counters.Don't underestimate Ajeel
Which one?he's one the strongest spriggan, he can block out Walhs attack,
Ajeel wouldn't be able to stop August's Melt spell, it would likely hurt Ajeel a bit.and probably even August considering he effortlessly put his hand out and stopped the Jupiter attack from hitting him.
Yes Ajeel has vast AoE with Sandworld and it's a great spell, but his attack power isn't as high as someone like God Serena or his hax isn't as great as DiMaria's; which is why I place them above Ajeel..He can transform into sand in sand world can kill tons of people if their AOE isn't large as a city. Sand world covered the sky and the city, that's the largest AOE we have ever seen in this story.
