A power gap ???
Hell yes : oneshot material with a standart armor on a Dragonized armored character where Benizakura was needed in the end to put this human foe down.
To be fair, Benizakura isn't that big deal, Belzerion Sword would have impressed me more, that's why i always placed Enny below Youko, the shocking part was that she used even less than that.
Sorry but I am still in shock how easily all the team crushed Fire & Flames. And my point is not about Erza but all five team members. They jumped sereval tiers at the end of the fight without any explanations.
Natsu could crush all five by himself but Erza & Grey didn't want to be spectators again. They could be....
I'm also in shock and mostly precisely because of Enny. Luso was weaker than i thought, but like i said the speedblitz already meant that the gap between her and Erza was huge. Was expecting for Lecka to make Viernes look like a bum, but it's good for Gray that he didn't, now the status scaling can't harm Gray that much. But Enny fought Base Erza before and now got a worse performace. I already expect signarios to get worse performaces as it always happens to returning villains, but not this way. And is also shocking that Erza is not Hiro's golden girl anymore, stealing her victim and giving to Natsu was a real damage in her status.
But don't think they jumped several tiers outside of Natsu. Base Erza jumped a tier, but even then it wasn't enough for Wed. The rest i say stayed the same. Gray jumped several tiers against Viernes, but didn't this for this fight. Lucy fight against Karameel shows that she didn't jumped tiers and that Luso is glazed as hell to the point that even i was glazing her before. Wendy fought the weakest F&F, if this is not enough to say she didn't grew nothing i don't know what is, and before you say anything about the headbutt, she was able to fight Haku and Selene is below Suzaku, it wasn't a far fetched feat for Labyrinth Wendy. It's like i said about Team B, most of them didn't got upscaling.
Outside of Wed, Enny via gold owl feats and Brian who tanked hits from Natsu in a 1v1, rest was below spriggan level.
No point ? And the enhanced resistance due to Dragonization ? Speedblitz or not, you need power to break through Dragonization's scales. Luso wasn't human anymore. So yes, it's a point you have to take into account because Aqua Metria is not Leon Maiden; Gottfried or Urano Metria. See my point ? And Lucy hadn't Dragon Seal marked.
Bruh
Brandish didn't even needed hax to low diff Dragonized Karameel, just some punches. Dragonized scales are consistently ass. Erza refused to use DS enchanted sword AGAIN, Gray used ice DEVIL slayer magic. I don't want to say Karameel is stronger than Luso because i already see a lot of people using the excuse of field disadvantage for Lucy, but i still don't know what would put Luso a entire tier above Karameel, much less what would prevent her from being low diffed by Brandish.
gree. Grey still has the best feat for now. And without any external boost.
My god, even Grey is still in Base to crush F&F, like Lucy and Erza are. This chapter was crazy and not only for Natsu.
The good part for Gray is that without Lecka now i can take the Viernes feat seriously enough to say Gray>Erza too. Don't think the fight itself upscaled Gray, but because the Viernes feat was good enough without the shadow of a DG minion to make it look like a joke.
