So you have God tier,Top Tier and high tier....And you place Jellal on Mid-High?

Your arguments are consistently biased in one direction. Anything Jellal does that is impressive gets reduced to "plot force" and anything negative that you can exaggerate,you do so. %98 of this manga can be called plot force. If anything the so-called Neinhart oneshot is plot dictated. A mixture of PiS and CiS to keep him down enough. Jellal should have just meteored to Kagura and smack Neinhart but he didnt. And if he was already knocked out there is no point in showing the anchor my friend.
Jellal,Laxus and Gildarts are the current top tiers (from the good guys)alongside Natsu who seems a bit nerfed compared to the end of the main series. Anyone who doesnt see that lacks basic reading comprehension. There is a reason why Zeref was expecting Jellal and Laxus. There is a reason why Mashima had Jellal face off Acnologia and show Irene level feats. Stop downplaying his feats

Top tier is level I placed a notch or two under God tier. They can't beaten by anyone lower than Top tier within a fight. High tier I breakdown into three different sections since some characters of the high tier section don't belong in the mid tier section but the top of the high tier section are like broken but not broken enough to contend with the Top tier.

I think Jellal is within the Lower spectrum of High tier. Might edge into mid-high if I give him the benefit of doubt.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying, at least so far as Jellal not being on August's level, but I'm not sure where you're ranking Jellal. Perhaps it would be easier just to ask who would be an example of a god tier, top tier, high tier, ect? I'm assuming August is a top tier.

Top tier- August/Irene
High-High - DiMaria/Brandish/Gildarts etc.
Mid-High- Laxus/Bloodman etc.
Low-High- Jellal/Base Natsu etc.
Note this is a quick mock up off the top of my head.

What about Gajeel and Gray?

What about Gajeel and Gray?

Lower end as well. I put Bloodman mid due to his hax if use competently.

If Ignia's claims of god dragons having become stronger than Acnologia recently is true, then that means he is currently the strongest character in the series, excluding RoT Acnologia maybe, right? (Since Natsu with his flames was able to easily beat a 50% Mercfovia)

Well, Iginia is currently the strongest living named character whether or not he's actually stronger than Acnoloiga. The flames from a single one of his attacks is enough to make Natsu strong enough to beat Mercphobia at 50% power, and that was after Mercphobia tried to put out those flames with his waters.

"August is the only mage we seen him have trouble with."

Lol what? Um Neinhart oneshotted him, and August stomped his butt into the floor. Oracion Seis took him out of commission for a week with just 4 of them a year prior. Jellal was never at the level where he never was once without trouble within the manga.

A year later and Jellal hasn't even creeped past DiMaria let alone August lol. He hasn't shown anything to say he powered up within the year either.

Zeref could've always done that. That's why the premise of the Alvarez war was dumb in the first place. No one on Ishgar besides Plot Force Natsu could've beaten Zeref. Zeref easily could've teleported in the guild and death wave them to kill them all. Heck several S12 could have merk the entire guild. That's why the Alvarez was such a sham arc.

Acnologia is the bar for the Dragon Gods. RoT Acnologia is confirmed to be stronger than DGs as the DGs were only stronger than Acno before he got the boost. There's probably only one DG among this bunch who can rival or is actually stronger than Acno but the others are not above him as of now.

You're doing this thing where you confuse your opinion with what was obvious. Neinhart got a shot in when he was trying to stop an ally from falling into a trap. The one who actually got one shot when they squared off was Neinhart. Other than being used as a hype engine for August, his showings are more consistent with him being comparable to the top tier Spriggan. Irene is the only one with a comparable performance against Acno. That's a fact lol

Brandish? If he can one shot Neinhart he can one shot Brandish. I find it hilarious that you feel none of the regular cast of mages grew in power. They grow between every arc, but this is the year where nothing changes.

I don't disagree that Zeref should have been able to do this. Yet he didn't, so unless explicitly stated otherwise, Touka is the most powerful mage we've seen in action. An that still has no effect on Laxus & Jellals strength relative to August and Irene. We already knew they were on a different tier than the Spriggan. As stated by August.

That's also your opinion. The story had Ignia clearly state their power grew greater than his. Not just himself, but the collective. Natsu's continued comparisons between the current fight and facing Acno supports his statement. Barring some reveal or return, the clear intent is to treat the Dragon Gods as superior. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see at least 1 Dragon compared to ROT Acno. Don't think it makes a ton of sense personally, but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Axiomus]

It's possible that some of the God Dragons are superior to Acnologia, but keep in mind that in Rogue's future Acnologia ruled the world uncontested. Meaning whatever went down in that future, Acnologia won out.

I wouldn't put too much weight behind Ignia saying that he has surpassed Acnologia. They've never really met, and people hype themselves up all the time. Remember when Larcade said that he was the ultimate mage capable of defeating Acnologia? Ignia should be about as powerful as Igneel was in his prime, before Acnologia stole his soul and weakened him.

Neinhart oneshotted him. Stop trying to act like Jellal didn't brace for the attack when he got hit. When they squared off Neinhart didn't even try to defend himself either lol. And that attack took a hefty toll on Jellal as he was huffing and puffing afterwards.

How? Brandish actually shrugged off an Enhanced Neinhart's attack . She thinks and he has already ruptured his kidneys. Yet they haven't showed any growth and all of them have shown to be weaker than EoS. None of his showings put him on the high tier S12 caliber.

August never once said they were on a different tier than the S12 lol. Laxus is about mid tier and Jellal is on the lower spectrum. The only two S12 he faced was August who stomped him and Neinhart who oneshotted him. Neinhart was weak offensively so it just shows how weak Jellal's durability is.

Ignia just stated they just got to Acno's level. It's cool to talk tough once the enemy they ran from 400 years ago is dead. And that comparison was only to base Acno who wasn't as strong as RoT Acno. We have none of them confirmed to be stronger than RoT Acno.

That's implying Mashima had already planned the idea of these god dragons before, though. I heavily doubt that, for obvious reasons.

Honestly,I think he got you on the nose. Jellal didn't brace for anything, he threw himself between her and the attack trying to save her. Neinhart attack wasn't even as big an issue as the anchor and sea water. You are working really hard to downplay his accomplishments. Every time Jellal did anything is PIS? The only huffing he did was in anger before he stomped that man and his fleet.

What manga you reading? Brandish was literally useless against enhanced Neinhart. An was shocked when Natsu added him to his body count. You mean the team that's taking on a Dragon Stronger than Acno, when it took the entire continent to put a dent in him? They haven't had any improvement? Oh that's right, you don't believe any of the new threats are comparable to the old ones.

You mean the guy who wouldn't even step to Acno? https://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/471/3 Let's not downplay the hax he has. Losing to August when he has superior hax doesn't disqualify him. Especially when he has the most impressive solo stand against Acno in the manga.

Where does he say they just got stronger? He states they grew stronger than Acnologia and became known as the 5 Dragon Gods. The implication is strength is why they are still alive. Can you show me what leads you to believe this development is recent?

 

[aymen24]

ignia said they grew stronger than acnologia............We know this

But he knows acnologia who was 400 years ago and not the current acno

They were on another continent for 400 years

It also became stronger even before eating the power of time

When ignia came out to test his strength, ACNO was already dead

It is clear that he has come to believe that he surpassed acno at the time

This means that it happened recently

A girl who can oneshot them instantly with a single thought over a guy who got oneshotted by the weakest S12 or the guy who only beat a retarded Wall? Not really a hard choice.

Jellal jumped and braced for impact. He knew the attack was coming so he wouldn't just jump in front someone and not try to lessen the damage with his body. There was no sign that he was completely defenseless or that he didn't know the attack was coming beforehand. Jellal got KOed by the attack which is why he drowned. You are trying to make fabrications of the event. Are you trying to really say that Jellal is weaker than an anchor? Or got oneshotted by an attack weaker than an anchor? Dang, you thought I was downplaying Jellal lmao.

Brandish mass maniuplation was useless on Enhanced Neinhart himself. She could have easily dropped an Island size pebble and ended the fight. Base Natsu ended his butt in two shots and she KOed Natsu right afterwards lol. She was shocked at Natsu's determination to fight the S12 but instantly KOes him afterwards. Brandish would have know trouble instant KO-ing or killing Laxus and Jellal.

You mean Natsu who got empowered my another Dragon God to fight only a 50% WDG? Do you just forget events or are are you actually just selective reading certain events? They got stomped and didn't even scratch the WDG until Ignia swooped in and gave Natsu the power to fight one. So again they showed nothing to put them on the level of taking on RoT Acno.

August would beat Jellal with just melt. And August hax is his ability lol. He wouldn't even need it either way when he would outright tank anything Jellal could throw at him just like he did against Gildarts attack when Gild bypassed August's hax. Irene has the most impressive solo stand against base Acno and Erza has an even better one than Jellal as she shot down an RoT Dragon form Acno out the sky. But besides Irene's who is the only one capable of the three to even give Acno a good time, those two feats are just plot force protecting fan favorite characters. As seen with sequel without PIS plot force they can't hope to fight Dragon God level opponent. They would get God Serena-ed pretty easily.

This post sums it up perfectly.

Honestly there are some people who really try to twist Zeref's words like he thought Jellal and Laxus were a notch above the rest. Zeref would have rolfstomped Laxus or Jellal. Thinking he thought they'd be there bcs of PL is outright ludicrous as that would mean he place them higher than Natsu or Gild which is hilarious seeing as both did more impressive things than Jellal or Laxus can fathom to do. Jellal had to GC just to beat a character who while enhanced got twoshotted by base Natsu. Never really got the hype the Jellal fans place around him.

So you have God tier,Top Tier and high tier....And you place Jellal on Mid-High?

Your arguments are consistently biased in one direction. Anything Jellal does that is impressive gets reduced to "plot force" and anything negative that you can exaggerate,you do so. %98 of this manga can be called plot force.

There is a reason why Mashima had Jellal face off Acnologia and show Irene level feats. Stop downplaying his feats

Erza >>>>>>>> Jellal and Laxus by your own admission. Jellal <<<< Christina who actually rammed Acno twice and pushed him into the RoT while Jellal couldn't lol. Those feats with Acno were utter garbage and neither Jellal, Erza, or Christina should've been able to do anything to Acno. They were protected by highest grade of PIS BS to survive Acno. His feats aren't close to Irene's and don't try to delude yourself further. Who actually got Acno off the battlefield while who had to run away and jump on a ship from getting slaughtered? Who got oneshotted by Neinhart then proceeded to get stomped by August yet you think he had a chance against Acno? Lol we all know that was straight bs. Acno should God Serena all of them bar August, Irene, Zeref and SF Natsu. Thinking otherwise means that you place Erza above everyone in FT as she had knocked RoT Dragon Acno out of the sky. Which clearly is PIS and is proven to be PIS as she couldn't do crap with DS magic to a 50% WDG. Jellal also proceeded to get stomped by a Zeref tier mage.

You sound bias when you call Laxus or Jellal top tiers lol. The actual top tiers would rolfstomp them. Heck the upper high tier would rekt them. Top tier of the good guys... pfft. Gildart's magic utterly breaks anything they throw at him and then he instantly kills them like he was going to do with August. Base Natsu already shown he can replicate Jellal's currently greatest move Grand Chariot's attack with just base Iron fist level attacks. FDKM let alone DF would be overkill.

Don't twist Zeref's words. He never once implied anything Jellal's or Laxus' PL when he mention them.

Yes, for the most part.

Yes, for the most part.

This is why we going to have a long debate why is jellal below laxus? Even as a laxus fan I know him and laxus are roughly on the same level why is dimaria and brandish higher than laxus and jellal and why is gildartz is on their level

Laxus is stronger than Jellal. He has better feats and wouldn't have easily been defeated by Neinhart. Brandish, DiMaria, or Gild could straight up oneshot these guys. They all have the ability to end the fight in one go. Gildarts crush almost killed August in one hit and the other two are pretty self explanatory.
