August his son

Location

Magnolia

Who wins?

The victor only needs puts down his opponent for sometime.So this means August doesn't need to kill Zeref just defeat him and vice-versa.

I voted Zeref only due to his immortality. IMO, if we exclude his immortality, then August is the stronger mage.

I updated the op.August needs to defeat Zeref not kill him.

If he manages to down Zeref until he recovers that's enough.

 

[Seven777]

Is this just to K.O? Cause killing Zeref should be impossible for August.

If its just to K.O then based on Zeref's current showings he loses, mid diff. August would have an easier time beating him than Ultear had beating "sealed" Zeref.
Nothing he can do to August, only way he could damage him is with CQC and looking at how he's performed against Natsu he is far less skilled than Jacob, so he prob aint doing much to August.

Of course Zeref's fight isnt over yet so judging him right now is a bit premature, but honestly when looking at the last few chapters both August and Eileen should be able to mid diff this guy 1v1.

Oh, ok. Pretty much the same as @Seven777 Zeref hasn't really shown good stuff that would place him top tier bar his curse but even then August can get a way around that. August has better feats so he takes this mid-diff.

 

[**Silver**]

Acnologia said Zeref can rule the world false hype eh???August murder stomps Zeref the cry baby...

 

[XXEliteXXAceXX]

I'm going with Zeref even with the new conditions in place.

• Zeref Dragneel > August Dragneel [??? Difficulty]

Not sure about the difficulty because we haven't seen Zeref go all out yet. I won't make the same mistake as I did with Irene vs. Augsut and assume things.

Despite Zeref's underwhelming performance so far, he does have feats that rivals August's. At the beginning of the arc, he fought on par with Igneel-powered Natsu, even going as far as to tank his attack. One could say that he would arguably win had he not held back. And recently, Zeref blasted a hole through Larcade who is an average Spriggan. It was technically a two-shot.

Lets not forget that Larcade was already weakened to the point where he had to literally crawl down the street to get over to Zeref. The Larcade Zeref killed was a Larcade too weak to even walk. Oneshotting Neinhart is a better feat. Plus stuff like that wont even tickle August anyway.

 

[Sevently]

Natsu shit in his pants when he see August
Zeref was on par with Base Natsu
August Highdiff

 

[Arjuna]

I will give my opinion on this

Powerwise
I believe Zeref is stronger than August.There are many evidences of it:-

i)Brandish hinting Zeref to be the strongest.

ii)Both Irene and August indirectly admitted that Zeref is stronger than them,by saying that only Zeref can beat Acnologia if he gets FH but not them.

iii)Zeref could keep up with Igneel Powered Natsu.


iv)He is the final villain of Alvarez Empire and final villains tend to be the strongest.

Hax

This is where August beats Zeref.As he can copy Caster Magic he may probably be deal with Ankhseram Black Magic by nullifying and copying it.

So i am not sure who wins.

 

[LaGOAT]

Zeref is fodder to august he hasn't been impressive in this series so far. Ppl are saying he was toe to toe with BKDM NATSU when clearly he is getting dominated. U can say he was tanking his attack to a certain extent but don't say that he was going toe to toe anyways u guys are gonna say "well he wasnt serious"which I would agree but base natsu is till showing that he can keep up with him meaning that any1 from base natsu lvl and higher could do the same thing so august should have no problem defeating zeref but let's see in future chapters what he can do hopefully he impresses me

Being too weak to walk affects endurance/stamina more than anything. The fact that Zeref's unnamed attack went through Larcade, tells us that the difference between Zeref's attack power and Larcade's durability is quite large.

And let's be honest. What feats does August have that can rival Zeref's? Ars Magia is a suicidal move. At best, you can say they would tie. And even if he copies Zeref's magic, Zeref still has the superior stats. I'm also not going to assume that August can copy and nullify every single attack of Zeref's. That would be overrating him.

 

[Demon Hunter]

Zeref has immortality.

because of that and his death magic which comes from the Curse(basically its not even his OWN power)he wins.

If ultear was able to put down a sealed zeref u don't think august can put down the current zeref. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying zeref is weaker than august but the currently his feats ain't as impressive an unnamed attack from base natsu would probably done the same thing with rahkeid since his durability isnt that Great and I doubt zeref unname attack would beat enough to beat august since tanked gildartz strongest attack. Also he doesn't have to kill this battle is about putting some1 down for quite a bit Zeref current feats ain't enough to put down august

I don't because August hasn't shown anything that can match Zeref. Unless you extrapolate his feats (which I won't), then it's pretty obvious who the superior mage is.

Also, I don't think using the Zeref vs. Natsu fight as evidence of Zeref's power is that reliable. It's just the beginning and Zeref is playing around.

From reading your post, it seems like you're providing a lot of durability feats for August which is good. But what about attack power? How do you think he would be able to put Zeref down, knowing he blocked an attack from Igneel-powered Natsu? And keep in mind that an unnamed attack left a permanent scar on Natsu's face so his attack power isn't something to laugh at either.

 

[Natsu Goatneel]

Zeref blitzes if he's even remotely trying. He was on par with Igneel boosted Natsu after getting surprises by Natsu initially. They wee moving so fast we couldn't even see their movements on the battlefield. Zeref also knows curses and August cannot copy nor neutralize Curse power.

Zeref low diff if bloodlusted.

 

[Demon Hunter]

Zeref is getting rag dolled by base Natsu while August shitted on him.

I voted Zeref because of his immortality, otherwise August wins.

 

[Natsu Goatneel]

I voted Zeref because of his immortality, otherwise August wins.

You forget that the same Zeref also fought equally with Igneel boosted Natsu while non-serious in this very same arc, confirming that Zeref is dicking around as usual due to this being his last chance to confirm Natsu's absolute best.

Bloodlusted Zeref would just Timestop Natsu or use paralysis magic on Natsu and oneshot him but as I've said, dicking around.

 

[Natsu Goatneel]

Ign Natsu gets overrated as always.

I guess Ign Natsu > Acnologia because Acno cannot kill Zeref while Natsu can.

Log.

It's not as powerful as some people are making it out to be.

That's not the point I'm making. Igneel is the second strongest character in the series by FAR some would argue his prime is #1. Dragon are confirmed far superior to even the likes of Zeref himself(ain't nothing he can do to one). This has been the case since centuries ago. This is why DS magic was created in the first place. Even a fraction of Igneel's power was enough to give Natsu feats like never before. He and Zeref were displayed moving faster than ANY other characters we've seen thus far in the manga besides Acnologia(when he blitzed Serena in the blink of an eye). No other character has been shown moving THAT fast during combat. He can also burn magic to top it off. Add that when he went FDKM + Igneel Boost and it seems as tho you're really underestimating Igneel Natsu's power... the dude did all of which I mentioned BEFORE going FDKM. FDKM >>>> Base Natsu as shown between the roars of each.

Unless you think current base Natsu = FDKM Igneel Natsu...

 

[Ilikeyou]

Il wait until we see more of him. So far he has just engage in close combat and only used magic on larcade.
