There is without actual proof it works, this is the first time anyone has seen it, even he was surprised, if it takes a dead power to kill Zeref, Gray would have been up to the job, or even Keyes with his necromancy. failure is not the same as unable to
Yes, and the reason he was suprised was because he thought it would kill him, so I'm just going to go ahead and say it would. Gray doesnt have the power of the dead. As for Keyes, Zeref knows about Keyes and still thought Natsu could do it, why is it different? Ask Zeref, or Mashima.
That is a big assumption to make with no evidence backing it, yes he does since his Father gave him that power, there go, if power of the dead from Keyes cannot kill Zeref, then Natsu’s power of Igneel would not be enough, now E.N.D. power is more compatible to defeat Zeref, yet he would get back up regardless, he was heading towards the portal, he was stopped by Natsu, and is “shocked” as well.
Zeref's done centuries worth of research trying to kill himself, he can make those kinds of assumptions. That aside, it's simply what the manga portrayed. Natsu would've killed Zeref, without much doubt.
and assumptions are just that, assumptions without any evidence to back them up, if he knew about it then he would have done it a long time ago, again, power of the dead is not really any evidence to help kill him considering other examples. If Igneel's power could do the job then he would have had Igneel kill him centuries ago when they first met. there are too many plot holes for this so called power of the dead to be an actual way to kill him, considering that he heals right away.
It's portrayal from the manga, so it's fine by me, otherwise Happy's whole emotional speech was for nothing. As for why Zeref didn't do it, he didn't know how... that is, until Natsu gave him the answer. Igneel also wasn't dead centuries ago
It wasn't for nothing, nothing about that situation if it worked or not was not okay, you just don't let your friend die for nothing, that doesn't mean anything, there was no answer to give, that was assumption on Zeref's part, END's power was more capable of such a task, Igneel's power was not special then either,
It is, Mashima presented a method of killing Zeref, and in the end forced Happy to stop it to progress the plot. If it wouldn't have worked, Mashima could've just let Natsu hit him and fail.
It is a matter of chance, which is not what you do with friends, to gamble something that would cause them suffering like that, and Happy saved his friends whether it would work or not. And the method is flawed by continuity standards. Igneel’s power doesn’t work as there are several other powers similar to that which I presented, END would work but Natsu can’t control it well and didn’t really awakened it till Zeref punched a hole in the book, FH would not work as it is just infinite energy and they would not risk it for the cost involved, Mavis’ Curse would only work if she loves him enough. So really two which only one is viable to use.
Except you don't know that they're similar, you're guessing that they're similar. Zeref knows though, he knows about each other power, and still determined that Igneel's was the way to go. So, on the one hand, I have Zeref. Centuries of research gone into his curse, as well as Natsu, as well as Happy, all believing Zeref dies to Natsu in that moment. On the other hand.... I have you, the guy who thinks Jacob has country busting punches. Hmmm, who do I believe...? Sorry friend, I have no love for Zeref, but I think I'm gonna have to take his word, as well as the word of both Natsu and Happy, as well as the general portrayal from the manga, over yours.
He does not know, he said “maybe“, they are powers relating to dead things, powers from the dead, Igneel’s is not any better, it is just his guess.
And also Fairy Heart.

Natsu burned Zeref's magic away. His curse would undo his injuries, sure. But Zeref would have been been reduced to the power level of a regular human for the foreseeable future, like Mercphobia was.
FH just gives the user the energy for spells for how many times it uses. Yes it does, losing control does mean having something you use negatively afflict you as well. Not being able to create fire means his powers were either canceled or he ran Out of energy, his flames do not burn out conventionally as Zancrow stated. Yes he did, when he stabbed Natsu, nope, he was planning to recreate reality with NE, not simply ending it. It doesn’t matter if he can or not, he scales to Phoenix’s power which can destroy the world.
Doesn't matter. Zeref literally had Fairy Heart's power glowing in his hands when he stabbed Natsu. He also went all out with everything, including FH's power, in his final exchange against Natsu. After Natsu and Zeref clashed fists, Zeref tried to use Fairy Heart to reverse time again. It didn't work because Natsu was burning it away.
You are right one of the problems with the Spriggan was the bad writing. The Spriggans were supposed to be one of the most powerful enemies Ft has faced but Hiro made a lot of the good guy characters way stronger so they didn’t do as well as others villains in the pass.
well it is mostly because they had counters to that other non-FT characters had and contributed to the fight. It is more if the Spriggans were out of character or not in a compromising position they would have a better chance.
