Natsu was the only one who got hit by the attack. You can't trick anyone with that lie.
Yeah it is, thats why its called PIS.
If he did, then Erza and Jellal dies, the fans go crazy.

Acono being on offensive is irrelevant. He clearly allowed to gajeel to hit him. So why should i believe anything difference for laxus.
Who said they have to say that? U can see that anco wasnt using his full power. U know anco wasn't trying to kill them right becuase he need them to stabilize his split form? Hence why he was using hand combat? That a perfect example why he was nerfed.Ok, first of all, no character will ever say "I'm going full power now!" just for the sake of readers powerranking them. That's atrocious writing on the author's part since that information can easily be interpreted from the context of the story. We don't need anybody to tell us that.
Secondly, it's quite obvious that Acnologia was "going all out". He's fighting a battle to the death.. any person with basic common sense would fight at all costs to survive at the end. Acnologia must be ridiculously stupid if he was "playing around the entire time".
Which I highly doubt. He had every single intention to win.... the simple fact is that he lost.
Clearly, the dude wanted to kill Natsu and was confident in his own attack...
By my logic, the exceeds and Christina only beat Acnologia in terms of speed.... not everyone else.
The parent dragons have top-tier dragon worthy speed - blitzing Faces across the continent in a matter of seconds.
Acnologia is the one who was pitifully outclassed by mere Cats and Airships.
And I don't know what delay you're talking about..
It was explained rather clearly in the manga. Natsu negated the damage from August's fire pillar because it was a heat-based spell.
It wasn't long after that when Irene came in with her Universe One and messed things up for August.
because story demands it and someone who is using more effort Drawning Boobs than focusing good story progression....so what can you expect???
I havent followed the entire conversation but i am guessing it is about aconologia under performance.
Because the Manga clearly shows it differently. Laxus made a point of not moving at all during the opening assault and blasting everyone away casually. When Laxus blitzed him we saw his first real reaction. An he then made a point of pulverizing him. An attack with more force than the kick we're supposed to be impressed by Cobra surviving. An August was wrong based on what? He was correct about every other assessment he makes about these mages. He is also the General of the Spriggans based on merit and chosen by Zeref. While he and Irene are clearly comparable. He only acknowledges Laxus and Gildarts. An you are saying that blitzing a cognizant and fighting Acno, who is literally in the middle of a blitz offense of his own, is less impressive than attacking a mindless beast. Which is exactly what his dragon form is. An what asspull moments? Him effortlessly stopping Ajeels attack? That is consistent with every single time Laxus enters an arc since his return to the guild. So is him being able to effortlessly match or demolish an opponent that Natsu and the gang struggle with. (Hades, Raven Tail, Tempest, Ajeel) An he is still one of the only Mages to defeat a Spriggan entirely on his own. Erza had help in all of her matches. So what are you really arguing?It didnt boost laxus strenght
Pof boosted gray strength, erza strength and natsu strength. But not laxus
That is like saying only reason irene was still in battle because erza allowed her too
Brandish comment is irrelevant. I am not saying cobra is equal to laxus. I am saying laxus is not special
Thus the hype is fake.
His exceptional moment of this arc is equivalent to gray moment and both these moments are dwarfed by erza exceptional moment
So what was the point in the story of laxus casually being able to one hit kill a mage who needed little help to take down one of the strongest mages on good side.
At the end of the story he didnt hold off acono himself. He didnt even do anything to acno human form. Much less acono dragon form.
So why should one bend over back ward to make fan favourite laxus special. When nothing in the story shows it.
Add to the fact that only people laxus could ever one shot causally in this story and those he faced were raven tail. And he didnt kill them causally either.
How could there be more difference between laxus and ajeel as compared to gmg laxus and gmg flare.
Gildart one the strongest good guys fought one of the strongest bad guys with some help.
Erza one of the strongest good guys fought one of the strongest bad guys with help.
Both these fights had similarities. The portrayal clearly shows erza to be still at the top. Which again was backed by erza blowing dragon acono out of the sky. Not gray or gildarts
Yet laxus is soo far above erza that he can one shot someone who can almost take out erza with help.
Why
What is the purpose of this exceptional powerful laxus in the story.
You still believe those people who were saying laxus will extreme low diff erza plus lucy plus wendy
Instead of me who kept on saying dont use ajeel vs erza to measure erza strength due to complexity of the fight.
This is very interesting

Laxus had more ass pull momeng this arc than most of the characters. The bs wahl vs laxus was just koyoka vs erza 2.0
August was wrong simple as that. If not than show feats of laxus that dwarfs erza feats.
I will accept laxus ripping throw human acno as one. Because erza blew dragon acono out of the sky
Or laxus over powering august strongest move. Like erza over powered irene move
Or laxus with help leaving august bloodied like erza with help did leave irene bloodied
What manga showed was that laxus was nothing special. dont believe me, check out laxus fans response to that awesome fight
Igneel was in a weakened state though. I'm pretty sure a full powered Igneel would have beaten Acno, if we consider their fight during Tartaros.
I havent followed the entire conversation but i am guessing it is about aconologia under performance.
I will like to mention that most villians in this arc underperformed.
Springgan were hyped to such a huge level but they all underperformed. Just look at wahl vs laxus. Laxus was dieing. And wahl was hyped to be equal to the strongest mage from ishigar. Yet laxus still won.
Jacob vs natsu plus lucy. Somehow javob lost.
Little girls vs dimeria. Another springgan.
And i am still not sure whether zeref with infinit magic is above or below a low tier springgan
Remember koyoka vs erza. No matter what happened erza still won
Hell even jackal failed to kill any of the good guys. And he makes people explode
Aconologia had to lose. And he couldnt kill anyone because of plot.
I mean look. He killed serena so easily. Yet here he couldnt kill wendy or cobra.
And another question
Who is high tier dragon. Igneel
if you are saying
igneel > aconologia
That i guess is reasonable
Aconologia probably got far because of his soul magic and his immunity to magical attacks.
But metilcana or grandeeni > aconologia wont make sense.
But i also hold that aconologia surviving tartaros arc was plot. There was no reason grandeeni couldnt help igneel put aconologia down.
Do you think atlas flame or mother glare above aconologia.
Do you think august above aconologia

What Laxus showed gives him great feats. Hence why the majority of fandom ranks him so high. It wasn't as good as it could have been, but he overall has outperformed most characters trough the course of the series Everybody's response was that it was a lackluster fight, because it was.What manga showed was that laxus was nothing special. dont believe me, check out laxus fans response to that awesome fight
Nope the kick seems more strong but i doubt there is a much difference.
August was wrong based on everything, especially laxus feats or lack of them
when did he acknowledge laxus
No i was talking about strength. laxus punch doing nothing to human acno, while erza blew a much stronger version out of the sky
He did stop all ajeel low tier attacks i will give you that.
Lol no they had problem with hades because they had already fought more than even gildarts did that arc, meanwhile laxus was full fresh
Who had problem with fodder raven tail. tempesta only troubled fodders before laxus got there
They only had problem with ajeel because makarov refuse to let them fight
Nope he is the one of those who ass pulled his win against a low tier springgan. gray also soloed a springgan so did natsu
But all this is obviously below going to toes to toes to the strongest like what gildarts and erza did
I am not really arguing. I am just saying laxus wank dropped two decibels because he showed zero performance. People were really hoping that august hype (and laxus training hype) will amount to something and laxus will hold off acono alone for a while to show he is one of the strongest. But without feats he is belowe like of erza and gildarts and natsu . Though gray might be around him
, you reaching.
Not really. He is ranked high because of fan hype. Nothing else.What Laxus showed gives him great feats. Hence why the majority of fandom ranks him so high. It wasn't as good as it could have been, but he overall has outperformed most characters trough the course of the series Everybody's response was that it was a lackluster fight, because it was.
Seems more strong based on what? The kick was effortless, he slammed Laxus itnto the ground and there was a much larger impact.
Laxus accomplished those techniques that earned the comments, he acknowledged that attack could have killed Ajeel.
Laxus attack used magic which Acno is immune too. Erza hit him with thousands of swords. An again, this is a mindless beast. An she knocked him down, didn't actually cause any damage.
They would have struggled regardless. Makarov is much stronger than they all are. An they were given opportunities to regain magic strength.
Raven Tail defeated Grey outright, tricked Lucy, an out Wendy in the hospital. Laxus no diff the whole guild.
Tenpester went toe to toe with Natsu. Even after he used his LFD he was still in the fight after that assault.
They had problems with him when they met latter which is after Makarov has them create an entire plan with the First to go to way so
Gray had Juvia interfere in his fight and got a emotional boost from her sacrifice. Natsu had help with his fights as well. (Not substantial, but he didn't get true one on ones till Gray) An you don't have to like Mercury Fulminate but it's no diff than any other "NEW POWERFUL SPELL" that we've never seen before, and he did just have an entire time-skip devoted to training. So that's a personal gripe. A popular one, but still a gripe. Not an asspull.
His no diff once his Nerf was fixed. Wish he'd have gotten more opponents, but he seldom does. Mashima has already said Laxus is too powerful and it's why he doesn't use him often. An no point having Jellal and Laxus face August if you want Gildarts to beat him. An he still has his showing against Acno. He did survive the fight, and he landed a blow. Weather it got tanked or not, he did blitz him and land it.
