Semifinal Natsu vs August

[Invel > Zeref]

What are you talking about? Who told I was even talking about DSM?

Natsu's power demonstratively became the most potent, magical force of the manga, burning not just conventional magic but the concept of death, space & time, & even burn the soul (as Zeref puts it) of a mage housing FT's Universe equivalent of unlimited power.

August isn't even in his class right now, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

With 'savage emotions', Natsu would definitely be able to burn through August's nullification. But by the time he could pull that out Natsu would already be dead.
It took:
13 chapters
About 4 speeches about friendship, family, or the guild
Zeref threatening Natsu's friends and family, a couple steps away from victory
And Natsu being resurrected from the dead before Natsu was able to reach that level of power
If Natsu was able to reach that level of power without all those emotional catalysts then Zeref would have gotten one shotted 15 chapters ago.
'Savage emotions' are irrelevant in this fight because the fight will be over long before he can even pull that B.S. out

I'm 50-50 that August can copy DSM. It's not a magic that can be learned. It is enchanted, or a lacrima is implanted. You can't read this magic in a book and use it. It is dragon power placed inside a human. August would have to extract said power, logically, unless his magic can create dragon power. Plus, August' ability seems to stem from knowledge which is some BS explanation if there ever was one - and if you cannot learn DSM how can he acquire it? Tbh this panel hints that August now has DSM, but as if he 'took' it from God Serena's dead body (this is possibly, as Bluenote once said).

That said when Gildarts explained it, Hiro threw in the 'Melt' spell here which implies he used Natsu's magic, since it was heat based. This supports August being able to copy DSM, or at the very least the element of that magic.

I'm going to say August cannot use Instant Copy Magic on Natsu, since the magic comes from dragons. I think DF Natsu can smack August around a bit, and a full powered attack would kill August. But, August is also without that PiS that made him look silly at times vs Gildarts... and even then he was still throwing Gildarts around and outclassed him. So, August could do the same to Uncle here...

I voted Natsu

 

[Ice devil slayer]

Wait are the people voting natsu serious lmfao natsu was shitting his pants against august and now he can beat him ? Jesus christ august either stomps or low diffs him
The only chance for natsu is if he uses pof powers that's it

 

[Tirl]

P.Attack - August >>> Natsu (Can damage Gildarts with bare hands)
M.Attack - August >>> Natsu (Can damage Natsu with fire, can kill everyone in whole country with a single spell)
Defense - August >>> Natsu (Can took damage from Gildarts without any scratch)
Speed - August >>>> Natsu (Can use any speed magic to overcome everyone)
Intellect - August >>>> Natsu (No comments)
Stamina - August <<< Natsu (Natsu is unstoppable)
MP - August >>>>>> Natsu (Second MP after Acnologia)
Friends love - August <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Natsu (Restricted here)

August >>>> Natsu

Diff - 2\10

August takes this with easy. He negate any Natsu's spell but not magic. With magic Natsu is still really strong in P.strenght, maybe as 4\5 of Gildarts. But it is not enough to take down August who still can use magic.

 

[CaptainTorch]

Hmmm... As much as I hate to admit it, Natsu doesn't stand a chance here. If Natsu would pull out "Flames of Savage Emotion", then yes, he could beat him. However he wouldn't have enough time to even activate it, and more than that, I doubt it's something he can just "activate".
The 2nd option is his DF attack. It really is serious, and if it makes contact it will seriously damage August. Almost enough to beat him.
But, Natsu won't have enough time to pull it out. With August's nullification, there's nothing Natsu can really do. (Unless he transforms into Mavis )
I vote for August. With a stomp.

P.S Seriously, people are saying that Natsu should have been restricted/banned from the tournament, but the truth is that August should have been the one. He is way too overpowered. NO character besides Acnologia can really beat him, because he can just nullify their magic. How is this even a fair fight? How is he even allowed here?)

 

[Arjuna]

Really feeling sad.August wins this.Can't really comment on difficulty.

However strong an attack Natsu throws on August,he nullifies it and copies it.


August is the winner.


Seems like Dragneel brothers are out from the Game now.

 

[Belserion]

August wins mid diff and being I'm generous to Natsu.

 

[Raven]

Natsu wins high difficulty. He is the strongest.

No feats for August copying lost magic.

 

[Pirate Queen]

Bue bye natsu! Ya fought hard bro, and you got far, but now you face the "Magic King" the "Month of Disaster" the "8th Month"...... August.

August winds this, mid diff

 

[LaGOAT]

Natsu has zero DSM magic to his disposal so all he has his regular hand to hand combat. He can't burn anything if he has no magic to burn things with. Gildarts' Absolute Heaven that he used on August only worked cause of his prosthetic arm. Natsu is all flesh and bones big homie.

Except my boy POF is allow in this tournament he oneshots him with a base form punch

 

[Pirate Queen]

Natsu wins high difficulty. He is the strongest.

If August is atated to copy all caster type magic, the burden of having to discredit it falls unto you. What proof do you have that August can't copy lost magic? And how does Natsu have lost magic? I may havr missed something in the manga, so could you please explain?

I was under the impression that the only stipulation to August's magic was that he can't copy holder type magic

Just like he was vs brandish but look what happened POF natsu stomp august I hate this but it's true

Dragon magic is lost magic since it comes from the dragons, August has to learn all the dragon magic to be able to cancel their magic that's the difference between August and Acnologia if he can use dragon magic then he can take out Acnologia low diff.

Natsu can burn anything and DF was enough to vaporize FH Zeref. August won't be able to copy it and his offensive won't surpass FH zeref so Natsu ain't oneshotted or stomped.

I was expecting u to use POF

 

[Holt]

Yeah this is August's win. August's copy magic will enable him negate attacks from Natsu. Can't really say the same for Natus. Even if August uses fire attacks, Natsu probably can't negate all of it. Heck we saw August completely block Laxus Nuke and this wasn't even with using Copy apparently. In addition, August tanked a fully powered empyrean punch from Gildarts. So yeah, I don't see how Natsu can win this. Natsu may have burned 'time' but August uses copy magic. In other words, Natsu supposedly needs to out burn his own ability being used by a stronger opponent. Assuming Natsu does have enough firepower to plow through August because August's copy can't replicate it, I'd say August can still negate it sufficiently to be moot. Taking crash for example, we saw August could reverse the attack after it had already hit. So at most, the same thing happens here. Even if I assume Natsu's punch still hits August, I'd say he tanks whatever is left of it. August is in a different world. He is the strongest fighter in this tournament imo.

So basically ur saying is that august>FH zeref?

 

[Arjuna]

Even POF can't defeat him.He has a deadly hax which prevents any Caster Magic from working on him.

That doesn't matter becuase POF define all logic he somehow burns thru his copying magic thru his emotions of the guild that's the point. POF doesn't have to make sense it's a BS power up that plot demands By ur logic august>FH zeref

But that's the problem all he has to do is think about his friends and the POF comes out and oneshot him.

Surprised of u natsu fans

I never said that.Even stronger opponents can have some weaknesses.Irene can defeat 90% of her opponents but she was reverted from her Dragon form into human form by Wendy's DS Magic.Even if Natsu overpowered FH Zeref,the same flames which he used to do that will be nullified by August and copied.


And as it August one of the strongest mages in the world .

 

[Invel > Zeref]

But that's the problem all he has to do is think about his friends and the POF comes out and oneshot him.

Not true. If Natsu could get that strong just by thinking about his friends once, then Zeref would have gotten one shotted 15 chapters ago. The only reason Natsu was able to reach that level of power in his fight against Fairy Heart Zeref is because the fight was extremely prolonged with several emotional catalysts for Natsu throughout. To put it simply, POF gets stronger the longer Natsu fights but August has the means to put Natsu down early before POF reaches maximum power
