If you had bothered to actually read the discussion we were having you would know that no one is talking about how Natsu beat Jacob. And if you don't care about power levels why are you here on a power ranking thread?
If you hadn't jumped to conclusions then you might have known that I'm here to contribute to the discussion. I'm merely stating that the fact that certain people get worked up over things like BS victories aren't understanding the nature of FT. Things like this happen all the time. Logic gets thrown aside for the sake of "the plot"

Thats not contributing to the discussion in the slightest. You're basically saying that you find the discussion pointless, in which case I have to ask you again: Why are you on a power ranking thread if you don't care about power levels?
Dude....are you serious? Holy shit....you placed Igneel-powered Natsu and ACNOLOGIA on the same level? Holy crap that's taking it too far....
Have you...have you seen human Acnologia's feats?
His magic power ALONE is capable of making 8 high tier mages quake in their boots...Igneel Natsu isn't even CLOSE in terms of magic to human Acnologia....Jesus man...
He blitzed three Spriggan 12 level opponents in an instant...Igneel Natsu doesn't even have speed NEARING this, I mean shit, Zeref was able to go toe to toe with him, and Zeref himself isnt even a speedster.
A swing of his hand....a SWING, with no magic power behind it at all...was able to cause a crater in the earth....Igneel powered Natsu's best feat was just setting the earth on fire, and even then there was no lasting damage on it....it soon receded back into its former state..
No offense man, but putting Igneel powered Natsu and Acnologia on the same level is as bad as it gets...if he was on that level then Zeref would have just told Acnologia to finish him off ages ago..
The gap between Igneel powered Natsu and human Acnologia is COLOSSAL
Igneel powered Natsu is on human Acnologia's level in terms of MP levels because Igneel was on Acnologia's level. That doesn't mean Natsu is as good of a fighter as Acnologia. A fight between Acnologias and Igneel-powered Natsu would likely have Acnologia tearing a hole through Natsu like he did Serena, especially if Natsu doesn't have the reactions to deal with God Serena. That said, Natsu's offensive feats aren't totally incomparable with Acnologia. Natsu has feats of punching Zeref through a mountain. That should easily be on par with the feat of Acnologia blowing up the ground beneath Irene's feet, especially given that Zeref > Irene, Zeref was also impressed by Igneel's magical power.
Simply put: Igneel-powered Natsu is to Acnologia's human form what Igneel himself was to Acnologia's dragon form.
Huh? Ajeel never said this was his third strongest spell...dude, no offense but this is what overrating someone means.
He didn't...he just landed a punch...by that quota I can say Erza landing a blow on Azir after Bakyll was blown through the ship means she 'proved a match against him'....landing a blow on someone means jack shit in the long run..
If Laxus hadn't shown up everyone there would have lost to Ajeel's Sands of Death..base Natsu is weaker than Ajeel by a fair amount, and Sands of Death isn't even his strongest technique.
A diseased Laxus was able to defeat Wahl, while Natsu in the same predicament just barely managed to beat Lessio by going all out....yeah kinda stretching it there honestly
I will come to your points one by one
i)Ajeel had said none had escaped his Ant pit before.Only 2 spells are above this Sand of Death and Sandstorm.This naturally makes him his third strongest spell.If Makarov had not grabbed him then he could have casted a FDK Spell on sand of Death and destroyed it.He even(Natsu) asked Makarov to leave him to deal with Ajeel.
ii)Are you just comparing All out Erza's attack and casual punch of Natsu.The powerscaling indicated that Natsu was a match for Ajeel,might have defeated him by using FDK Spell from potrayal and feats in that chapter.
iii)I don't know why some people tend to avoid the fact that Natsu couldn't go all out and had to hold him back against Jacob.The roar that he used against Bluenote was stronger than the spells he used against Jacob.When he just go all out he just used one attack(you can call it one shot in a way) just like Laxus finished Wahl with red lightning.Yes FDKM Natsu feat wise rivals Laxus.Infact some battle forums puts him above him.His AOE and DC surpasses Laxus while Laxus excels in Speed and Durability.
I feel people refuse to accept Natsu is Spriggan level just because he is MC and Mc's tend to get hated in many mangas.I believe both Natsu and Gray are Spriggan levels.Now many people will refuse to believe this just because they are MC's.

Natsu didn't punch anyone through a mountain, thats a cliff lol.
Natsu with Igneels power is just Igneels power, he doesn't gain faster speeds. (Well he does since he uses his flames to boost his speed and since with Igneels power he made pretty huge flames then yeah) Acnologia has flash like speed, something Natsu doesn't have. If they were to fight, natsu would get the serena treatment. His durability doesn't increase, nor does his speed.
And the only reason zeref wondered about Natsu power is because he never expected him to have this kind of powerup.
Mountains don't have 3 trees on it. Acnologia is not on the same level of Natsu, hes stronger, a lot stronger.
while I do agree that base Natsu cannot beat Jacob without FDK spells, Jacob also cannot beat Natsu. Jacob' firepower is shit imo. his weapons are useless against Natsu and damage of his punches and kicks are lower than Lucy' lol. imo Jacob is the weakest Spriggan out there when it comes to dealing damage.
I don't downplay Natsu, even though I don't like his character much but Jacob definitely cannot beat base Natsu. he can use Transport for instant win but it remains to be seen if he can kill him inside that dimension.
Wahl, Ajeel and God Serena can definitely put up far better fight against Natsu in either base or FDK. heck, some of them might even win.

as @XXEliteXXAceXX said, you don't have to beat a Spriggan to be a none existent Spriggan level. Mirajane, Kagura, Minerva, Sting, Rogue can definitely fight some Spriggans.
Mirajane can probably beat Ajeel and Jacob would have been demolished by her if his Transport is restricted. Kagura can put up a good fight against Wahl(she effortlessly destroyed his missiles) and she might even win (she can demolish Jacob). Minerva is around Kagura' level so she would put up a fight against fully powered Wahl (she can also demolish Jacob). Sting and Rogue can probably beat Brandman(Sting's holy based powers and Rogue's shadow are counter for him, not 100% sure on shadow) but they can definitely beat Jacob. in fact, everyone can beat Jacob and Neinhart.
people are just going on for villains hype and they forget that Mirajane and others were around the main characters tier except Sting and Rogue.

Im pretty sure Jacob can use transport on Natsu. "Oh but FDKM can burn through it"
If you had bothered to actually read the posts on this thread (which by now I shouldn't be surprised about considering you like to ignore and skip over things) you would know that Jean was responding to Emperor Spriggan, who claimed that Natsu didn't have a FDK roar.

Doesn't matter if it's a mountain or a cliff. It was still a large chunk of rock that Natsu punched Zeref through, making the attack comparable to the amount of rock Acnologia blew up under Irene. I never claimed Natsu was as fast as Acnologia. Though honestly, Igneel powered Natsu is probably still very fast given that he can cover the distance between Zeref and himself before Zeref can react. He was also able to trade multiple blows with Zeref in the skies. He would probably be able to exchange a few blows with Acnologia before going down.
Zeref was impressed by how powerful Igneel's magical power was. He said so himself that he was truly impressed by it.
And yes, Acnologia is stronger than Natsu overall. He has access to his Dragon Form, and has better durability and speed. However, Igneel was comparable to Acnologia. Natsu with Igneel's magical power would have been near the ball park of human Acnologia in terms of magical power.

It does matter because mountains are larger than cliffs. And that punch that Natsu used isn't impressive at all, we've other mages punch other people through walls thicker and larger. Seeing how Natsu using igneels power could only move Zeref that far proves that his physical strength is low as hell.
Though half dead Igneel was stomping Acnologia I fail to see how a bit of magic left behind is comparable to Acnologias. And Acnologia doesn't gain more magic power in dragon form, it wouldn't make sense. He just gains better feats like flying and breaking shit.

How many other mages has managed to send an opponent of the caliber of Zeref crashing through that volume of solid rock?
No. It really doesn't matter, because we're comparing the attack to the attack Acnologia used on Irene. That attack wasn't mountain scale either (you can see Irene and Acnologia's figures) standing at the edge. Nor did that attack really even land against Irene.

Igneel gave Natsu enough magical power to kill Zeref. Acnologia's dragon form might not necessarily increase his magical reserves, but it gives him access to more powerful attacks due to its vastly superior physical constitution.

I'm going to call you out on us seeing other mages replicate what Natsu did to Zeref. How many other mages has managed to send an opponent of the caliber of Zeref crashing through that volume of solid rock?

Zeref was far weaker on Tenrou because he valued human life, and he wasn't pushed back nearly as far - or through the side of a cliff.
Jackal wasn't sent through a stretch of solid rock, and nor is he on Zeref's level.
1) Different artist in a spin-off series
2) Not a Zeref level mage
3) The majority of that feat has the target travelling through air, not solid rock.
4) Atlas-Powered Natsu broke the Eclipse, which was made of a magically resistant alloy. It also knocked out Motherglare for what it's worth, and Motherglare had an adamantine dragon's body. All the mages during the GMG wouldn't even dent Motherglare. Igneel-powered Natsu should be far stronger than Atlas powered.
5) Are you really trying to argue that Gildarts has more strength in the start of the series than Igneel-powered Natsu?
Umm I'd like to make a point here?
It doesn't matter if it wasn't a mountain, since a cliff is an unyielding face of rock that is at ground level. A mountain is above ground level therefore easier to penetrate, in a sense

FDK mode is different from Dragon Force. Fire Dragon King's lets Natsu use flames that are similar to Igneel's. Dragon Force gives Natsu the physical properties of Igneel. Natsu can probably use Fire Dragon King spells in Dragon Force, and this would be stronger than using in any other mode. Natsu's strongest attack is probably the FDK version of a metsuryu ogi that is done in Dragon Force.
Dragon force gives you the power of a dragon, but dragon force itself comes in stages. The amount of power you get is likely proportional to how dragonized you are, and how powerful the dragon your magic is based off.
I doubt the actual dragon matters, but yeah. I fully expect Natsu to have more physical force than Igneel when he uses DF or whatever other final mode he has. I could be wrong of course.
Base Natsu was only overwhelmed by Jacob because he was holding back a ton to prevent the guild from being destroyed. One FDK roar and Jacob would have been oneshot (ok maybe not, but you get my point).
tbf I already posted why Laxus' lightning effected Wahl which was even explained in Volume 55. its not a power up attack. its bullshit but its still a feat nonetheless. if we are going by bullshit wins then Zancrow vs Natsu is one of them, not to mention LFD mode(looks cool but its stupid imo).

I agree.
Where is this post? Im very curious to know how that red lightning works.
Well, you are literally gaining the physical features of the dragon you learned your magic from. I think there are exceptions to this, of course. For example, if you focused on multiple elements, the dragon you take after could be an amalgamation of features from multiple dragons. That's basically what I think Acnologia is. He's taken power from the souls of every dragon he's came across, and so his element is a combination of all those elements. This would make Acnologia's element very similar to etherion, which is also described as a combination of all elements.
For Natsu, he mainly focuses on the magic Igneel taught him so he takes after Igneel. He has lightning, but usage of that has faded into obscurity. Fire Dragon King spells seems to have replaced the need for lightning. I don't think Natsu would be able to surpass Igneel in his prime, at least not by much. He might surpass Igneel without a soul though.
Well we don't know if the black iron form is actually dragon force, since Gajeel has shown the ability to cover himself in scales before. There's also the fact that Gajeel gained that form after eating a lot of anti-magic particles, and that gave him a certain degree of curse power. That might not be how dragon force looks under magical power.
Because I'm comparing Igneel powered Natsu's feats to human Acnologia's, I thought that was kind of obvious.

Natsu doesn't gain any muscle when using Igneels power nor does his physical punches get stronger. He was smacking Zeref with fire hotter than his own.
Zeref said he was already 'awoken' so I don't grt how that helps you there. And it's kinda stupid how you said he's weaker if he values life, cashing a death wave by simplying caring is pretty strong. Don't get Butthurt but I had to call you out on your bs.
And Atlas flame gave Natsu a big amount of fire when charging in for Motherglare.
"All the others mages couldn't deny mother glare"
They didn't try too lol.
"Zeref level Mage"
I didn't know the more magic power you have the more it takes to move a person.
Gildarts wasn't moving because Natsu was too weak.
Natsu doesn't gain any muscle when using Igneels power nor does his physical punches get stronger. He was smacking Zeref with fire hotter than his own.
Natsu has Igneel's magical power, and magical power generally increases one's physical strength. Dragon Slaying magic is magic that transforms your physical body and gives it aspects of a dragon's body. This would likely include aspects of physical strength. We've seen Natsu perform inhuman feats of strength, and that was likely due to his magic. Long story short: Magic generally enhances physical strength.

You know if you're going to call someone out, you have to make sure what you are about to say is true. I'm not the one who came up with the idea that Zeref is weaker when he values life. Zeref himself said that. I'm just repeating what he said. Zeref revealed that he still valued human life when he was fighting Ultear, and that's why he couldn't use magic as much as he should be able to. Natsu's punch happened before that, so this version of Zeref was weaker than the current one.
Igneel gave Natsu all of his remaining magical power. Igneel > Atlas Flame.
I meant to say dent. Honest typo.
The stronger the opponent the harder it would be to push them back is sort of common sense.
Natsu couldn't push back Gildarts back on Tenrou Island because he was far weaker than Gildarts at that time, not because he lacks physical strength. Guren Bakuenjin wasn't even a punch.
