- Sure, but it was a draw, and lets face it, unsheathed Arch-Enemy performed significantly worse than the sheathed version. All power, no skill. Is it stronger? Sure, was it better against Erza? Not in the slightest. SO Erza used all her power up in one go, and it beat Minerva, who I would rank below Kagura. Is that another level? Maybe, but the jump in performance wasn't particularly impressive.
- Blocking one attack from LFD mode doesn't make Minerva above it, in fact i'm pretty sure she just teleported it into the wall.
- Sure, but in the end he couldn't do it. And the attack Gray used to beat him completely surprised him. Like I said, Silver's defeat was what he wanted, but it wasn't in his hands.
- Erza was definitely going to die, she gave up and accepted death. She was exhausted, so was Gray, and Gray was blindsided, he didn't surrender. But still what? He puts up a fight against Motherglare, who mind you didn't even attempt to attack him back other than doing a barrel roll, so he's above Gray? The babies aren't a match for Gray, they killed him because he sacrificed himself, not because they were too powerful. It's not a feat against Gray.
- Which goes to show how little everyones initial impressions of them mean. Natsu was seriously impressed with Sting's strength, and in the end Sting was still a joke to him. Impressing Fairy Tail is easy, beating them is not.
- Kagura wasn't even serious when fighting Lyon with the sword unsheathed. Against Erza, she was fighting for Milliana. Even if you argue that Kagura lost some skill due to her rage, I think the fact that the sword can cut apart an entire street more than compensates.
- Minerva doesn't have to be stronger than LFD. Just on it's level. Erza beats Minerva, so she scales above it.
- Erza's injuries literally caused her to collapse before the dragon babies closed in. Gray was still in, more or less, fighting shape. Yes, he was blindsided but the dragon babies shouldn't be impossibly fast. "But still"....the difference in the level opponents and their performance was huge. Natsu was fighting Future Rogue the whole time, and still managed to get some hits off on Motherglare. I don't see the roars the dragon babies used as being stronger than Rough Silk.
- I don't think Sting would beat Gray. Just that Gray is closer to Sting's level than Natsu's. Maybe it would be more fair to say to say Gray is closer to Gajeel's level, but even then Rogue also said that Gajeel wasn't on Natsu's level.
