1. Silver has feat of defeating whole VIllage and Atlas Flema, does Evergreen have same?
Who said that Silver go all out against Grey?
Did manga ever stated that Silver is weaker than Natsu? No it didn't.
Is there hype that put Natsu above Silver? No, there isn't.
Is there feats that put Natsu above Silver? No, there isn't....
What manga tell me:
- Silver one shoted Natsu.
- Silver defeated whole Village and Atlas Flame
- Franmalth (natsu had trouble with him) refer to Silver as 'sama'.
- Silver lost to Gray, but did he wanted to kill him? No he didn't.
Therefore, how can you use that easy words "You are wrong"?
He didn't defeat Atlas Flame, it was a spirit that wouldn't have been able to touch him. Wendy had to use Milky Way to summon his spirit. He didn't defeat the whole village, he froze them. Same way Evergreen turned Erza and Mirajane to stones. That's not
one-shotting them. It was hax. If you're gonna give Silver the benefit of the doubt, give it to Evergreen too. But of course that makes too much holes which proves your logic incorrect.
I know he didn't go all out, but do you see the fact that Natsu can tank what Silver has been shown to produce? Natsu tanked Amaterasu 28, which is way way above Demon's Rage. Even if Silver spams him with that attack, Natsu will easily tank it. A steel ball can pierce through him, I doubt Natsu's punch can't simply damage him enough to incapacitation.
2. Something is stated, that mean that there are base for that opinion, even if it's wrong. So I don't see what's wrong with that.
Yes, Lucy was never stated to be weaker, but:
1. Jura is one of 10 Sainst.
2. Give Laxus high diff. Laxus was portrayed as one of strongest Fairy Mages and by himself is mage a lot more powerful than Lucy. So do you see what I'm talking about?
Never directly. Are you gonna rank Jura above Gildarts now? Since Makarov said it too? You see? There are a lot of flaws in looking at portrayal and statements, sure it can be useful at certain situations, but when comparing who really is stronger, relying on statements won't get you very far.
3. It don't have to be true, but it is stated, so just that tell us something. She was leader of the group, if she is not strongest, why would anyone accept her as a leader? There don't really like each other. In mostly FT groups, leader = strongest, so I don't see why would there be difference.
How is Mira, Makarov's favorite? Makarov stated that instead of Natsu, Elfman, Lucy, Gray he would go with Gildarts, Laxus, Mira, Erza, so he didn't just said that Mira is stronger than Natsu, he said that at least 4 of them are stronger.
Umm, you're using it as a reference, if it's not true, you can't use it as a proof for your points since it would lead to inaccuracy.
Because she was the eldest kin, not literally, the first kin that hades found, that was cannon.
Mirajane is Makarov's favorite since he's practically his assistance. When did he say this? Regardless, it doesn't matter, Makarov knows that Natsu needs to be completely serious in a fight for him to win it, and as you already know, Natsu only occasionally gets serious in fights, usually if it's for protecting people he cares about.
4. Orga treats Minerva, highly because she was daughter of his master. As you said Orga's fights was off panaled, but you can't rank him lowest because he don't have much feats as others. As I said 'facts' = feats + hype + stataments + portray, so I again don't see a problem here.
I can, ranking him higher would lead to much more inaccuracy. As you said, it was off-paneled, therefore, we can't base our opinion in our imagination since some stupid people tend to think widely when it comes to those things.
Reply to it if you don't want me to think so
To same extent yes.
Statament = Jura is strong as Gildarts.
Jura lost to Laxus. Now either way, Laxus is stronger than Gildarts or Jura didn't live up to the statament. But as long as they are not proven completely wrong, they are valid.
They have been proven wrong. Let me show you the level of inaccuracy of relying on portrayal and statements alone.
We have a hype saying Gildarts is the strongest FT mage, and has always been portrayed to be, the series will probably end up with him still being the strongest, except for maybe, Natsu.
So, from there, Gildarts > Laxus.
Makarov says Jura is equal to Gildarts.
Laxus beats Jura.
Gildarts can now be defeated by laxus?
I'm the kind of guy who rely more on feats than anything else since it shows me the real difference between people. You know Erza will always be above Natsu in portrayal, right? Stop trying to only look at that and look at feats and you'll see how close they really are.
Give feats to prove your statements, not just mere hypes. You'd be legit in other series like Bleach with statements using statements for power-scaling, but FT is different. A hype is just a hype and when you see the character fighting, you'll see them not living up to it. That's usually what happens there. If you really don't agree with using feats alone, then let's agree to disagree.
