So by your logic Neinhart > Current God Serena who tanked Grand Chariot 🤡 Cope with it Spriggan were all defeated by FT members except August and Irene and they are fodder for BDSK level.
The only spriggan bar top 2 who seemed a bit different was GS considering the feats. All the others were one-shottable materials once FT bypassed the hax.

Irene and August were betrayed by plot as Mashima couldn't think of means to logically kill them off.

@WoWfan Jellal was not defeated by neinhart. Heck, he didnt even have any injury.

Cana moment was a gag moment. At that point, I think Brandish was superior to them.

Jellal was a he was unconscious during that time, you don’t really need to have a visible injury to fall unconsciou, Natsu managed to punch Erza hard enough to make her fall unconscious but there was no wound.

that is my point, as people takes that gag moment as legitimate durability fact about Brandish and nothing else as you would likely see.

for how durability works is based on how much magic power they can handle as their bodies must be strong enough to withstand said power.

Well, typical Mashima way to make Kagura let go of Jellal grudge. Not much thought needed there.

I don’t think Kagura’s personal issues has anything to with Jellal’s ability to take an attack but anyway. Just something for story for the former

- Lucy showed new Star Dress
- Erza masters enchantments at will
- Laxus has mastered Red Lightning and gained a new, more powerful mode
- Natsu can harness Igneel's power and go Dragon Force against Aldoron
- Jellal gained a new spell more powerful than Grand Chariot
- Wendy can master the separation enchantment


And you still believe that powercreep doesn't exist?? The main characters became stronger than the Spriggans, it's time to accept the facts.

Wendy mastering separation enchantment by Irene's teaching, Lucy mastering a new star dress is not that impressive when someone like Yukino can do that on a whim for the first time attempt, Natsu lost Igneel's power when he fought against Zeref, that is more metaphorical as DS was taught by Igneel. Erza and Laxus mastering new spells are impressive, but still struggled against people who are closely relative to each other. Jellal did not gain a spell, just used a different one, it just added two more stars, the Grand Chaiot from Alvarez is way more powerful as he opened up the atmosphere itself, not to mention objects that would fly from space to earth in seconds which is FTL, that together yields greater results than anything he has done.

The fact remains that Selene said Irene's power is greater than Wendy's who defeated someone who is Suzaku's level, and her enchantments can affect her, which is stated only to work if they are weaker than the caster.

He’s talking about you, you dope.
No need to be rude, besides doesn’t take away what i said
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Okay, going into rank mode here, Apologies to anyone who may see this, do not take this against anyone specifically or what not but it must be said especially when it comes to the 2 factions in the series.

This is to be said first, but here goes,
  1. Sure I like the Spriggans because simply because the are part of the Alvarez Empire which is an actual military like faction which is something rare to see to take center stage in these kind of series, and it gives other individuals besides FT members a time to shine and show their relevance, and has enemies that actually live up to the hype in the end.
  2. Yes, I don't like the Diabolos simply because their powers are too niche, uninspired and unwhimsical, like seriously a Sword Master Dragon Slayer? does he eat other swordsmen? Plus they have a tendency to act like cockroaches, no matter how many times they are flushed down the drain, they keep crawling back.
  3. AND NO, none of the previous two dictates what I feel wins in an actual fight, I go by what it shown and/or stated in the series or relative information that is presented in the series itself.
To start off, for the scaling based on what is presented with Spriggans and Diabolos since that is the bit here frequently.
  1. Top Tier Spriggan (August & Irene)
    1. With how Jellal can push, survive the grip and even react to attacks from Acnologia who is in dragon form, the same Jellal who was curve stomped by August, while it was off-screen, with his on-screen conflict with Gildarts, especially with physical combat and without using his Copy magic at times which shows that anything Jellal can do physically, Gildarts can do better.
    2. With Irene, Selene who is a Dragon God stated that her power is greater than that of Wendy's, who with her potential was able to defeat Haku when she got serious and that he couldn't move around, and this was all because of Wendy's power, Irene at the time had no hand with her own as she was just giving advise and just using her spells. Also, how enchantments works against enemies, it is stated that they do not work on those who have magic power greater than their own, yet Irene as a persona (since she is dead and without a body should be weaker than her peak) was able to affect Selene in her human form.
  2. the DDKs (Kirin ranks above the other three)
    1. Whether Selene was poking fun at Suzaku's accomplishments or not is anyone's debate but considering that she wouldn't mind losing to Suzaku since he has her son's power and that she values distortions. and no, I do not count that cut to the cheek around the beginning as anything impressive, it is about as impressive as as a weaker and fearless Ichigo able to deliver a scratch across the chest of a stronger Kenpachi Zaraki before the latter stabbed the former to super death. And the fact that he was rendered unconscious for a time by a weakened weaker DG, where as Selene would be stronger than even human form as magic power does determine stats.
    2. And to add icing on top of that, Suzaku who supposedly defeated a human form Selene stated that his master (I can't even bother to remember his name at gunpoint) was much stronger than himself yet was crushed under paw by a casual Dragon form Selene, and to put into perspective as to where that would lead into power ranking as I said before, Jellal survived getting crushed by Acno's paw too, not only is grip pressure or pressure overtime has more force than that of a sudden impact which a human body can withstand, Jellal remained conscious and could still help his friends with magic.
  3. Larcade (He is an anomaly to me and hard to know where to place him so he has his own tier here)
  4. The other Spriggans
    1. Here because throughout the arc they have been constantly compared to one another either through statements or through showings of practices of their power. so they would have similar in the same tier stats as one another with their own unique powers.
    2. Brandish power was used in assisting in FT in their fight against a slightly weakened Aldoron as she could not do that herself because only someone who is a dragon or dragon slayer can actually harm him because of dragons hax armor.
    3. Max who utilized an empowerment by Wendy and was using a Spriggan spell and stated that same spell is not comparable to the real thing could still defeat one of Aldoron's God seeds, who has a significant power to the main body and with it's lost is a noticeable affect that Natsu who could not react before could not even when Aldoron was trying a little harder than before.
  5. The other Diabolos members
So I know what many of certain people may ask or keep in their minds to ask about all this but it will be addressed either way.
It is also important to note how not only physical measurements in a battle are not the only deciding factor, but that of others such as circumstantial, personal or esoteric. Like how Mirajane who states that she doesn't go all out when there are people present as it would be "unlady like", but would do so when she and her opponents are isolated, that is why with Skullion and Madmole struggled against Mira who was holding back and Elfman who is not even in his Beast form at the time, and she struggled against an enemy like Jacob who had his eyes closed which she states multiple times either in verse or directly to the readers that Jacob was not at full strength at the time.

(NOTE: for sections that seem to be lacking in links it is because they would the same links as previous once as they are previous point reconvened and repeated to fit the current one.)

The point being of this whole post is not to swayed people into liking certain characters, they are entitled to their opinions, that is not what is being ranted about, but what I can't stand is people bringing personal feelings into battle discussions like these without representation or proof to back that up said claim, with all due respect.

*breaths in*

thank you.

I wonder if this is a mistype because having different magic has nothing to do with someone’s stats.

EDIT: I said different magics because certain people says that determines their stats. hax and such which only leaves them with something like regular human feats and such.

Okay, (my personal problem with stuff like hax is that mages that use them rely it on way too much which wasn’t always the cas)

I almost didn't read any of this, but am glad I did, so I could read you justify ignoring what actually happened in the manga for your own personal head cannon reason and then impose that on your power scaling. I have genuinely been wasting sooo much time

you seem to be confused with the term "ignoring" with "enlightening" with what was shown in the manga, you clearly did not read what was said in this case. clearly not a lot of time if your response is this short.

It seems that more points are needed with what I think, this time beyond simply Spriggan and Diabolos comparison, this time with Zeref, Acnologia and DGs and why they do or don't compare.

First, we need to look at the max that Acnologia can achieve as the Dragon King.
Next we are to look at the DGs on where they stack, and the only one that has any remotely interesting stats is Selene.
  • The best that they would scale to her human form at least is what with her increasing the size of the Moon.
  • Now there is the thing about how her magic power could affect a town in an alternate dimension, that is impressive but there is no real way to determine the distance traveled across dimensions considering when they are in fact in different dimensions so distance is a non factor. Also since Ignia would be at her level too, whether it is in dragon or human form though wasn't felt even when projected. also magic could still travel between worlds with Selene's powers, so that would be something exclusive to her as we do not see any gates formed when she channels magic into Elenetir continuously.
  • Or that she can cause planets to blow up just by being there, to be precise, it is an overtime thing and not relatively instant and she uses her portals to gather magic from other realms to the one she is in to accelerate it's destruction.
Now for Zeref, while he may not be on the level of Acno in his base, he would be able to fight the likes of other Dragon Gods, here is why:
so in short, Acno is in a class of his own in Dragon Form, Zeref and the other DGs should be comparable.

That's it,

Why's natsu so criminally underrated 😭 I don't understand this.
@MyaHeart35 did you write this 🤭 seems like something you said here a few months ago
Natsu being equal to gajeel and gray means natsu's weak I can't accept that. I can accept erza and laxus being stronger than natsu cuz they have feats to back it up but I can't accept gray and gajeel auto scaling to natsu

I said ignoring, because when you use a panel to argue things that didn't happen. When you make cases for how the way you interpret how these things should or shouldn't work behind the scenes and try and present them as fact. That's ignoring the actual manga. My response was short becuase writing a dissertation to point out each individual instance of that would be a waste of time. You open with 2 points about why you personally dislike a group, and then assure us this bias is in no way present in your argument. Oh ok.

It did happen, that is why the panel exists to show proof, along with other panels on how they are structured as not a one time thing. That is how the manga portrays them, the fact you said two proves you never read the whole thing or misread thus showing you don’t have a point here, I don’t act out of emotions. But anyway.
