Final Thoughts
- The premise of this thread is that Post-SBT Acnologia, Seven Flames Natsu, and Zeref with Neo Eclipse should be 5-B. Now let me explain.
Movie 1
- The plot of the movie climaxes with a magic
**** offbomb that can destroy the world.
Zeref, Fairy Heart, and Neo Eclipse
- Through Fairy Heart and the Neo Eclipse Zeref was going to destroy the world (400 years of said world).
- Zeref claims that he will end the world.
- At this point in the story, Zeref obtains the pinnacle of all magic, which would put it above the magic bomb in the first movie.
Post-SBT Acnologia
- Personally believes he can destroy the world.
- Jellal believes a weaker Acnologia is a threat to the Earth.
- Acnologia is the strongest character in the original story (prior to his defeat), which would put him above the likes of Fairy Heart Zeref with Neo Eclipse.
Seven Flames Natsu
- One shots Post-SBT Acnologia, pretty cut and dry.
Further Support
- Fairy Heart Zeref with Neo Eclipse far outscales any magic prior in the verse, such as Ars Magica which is High 6-A, and characters like Post-SBT Acnologia and Seven Flames Natsu scale even higher than this Zeref. Point being that all these characters are casually High 6-A via massively upscaling a High 6-A feat, thus the statements are then further contextualized. If the characters are already casually High 6-A, then destroying the world meaning planetary destruction opposed to surface level destruction becomes highly probable.
- While we can't actually pixel scale the FT planet and use it in calculations, there's no denying that the FT planet is much larger than your Earth-sized planet. The point here being that even if this world destruction doesn't entirely erase the planet, in reality the fact that the FT planet is unquantifiably larger than Earth (via vsbw rules preventing us from pixel scaling planets) adds to the validity of even lowballing the destruction to partial destruction reaching tier 5 levels.
Final Thoughts
- Yes I know "world destroying" statements mean nothing on their own. They can be hyperbolic, they can be merely life-wiping statements, surface level destruction, planetary, to even cosmic levels of power depending on how "world" is defined in the context of the statements and series. My thought process is that if a character is casually High 6-A and then someone says they can destroy the world, that validates the planetary destruction interpretation. In the same vein that it is common to validate tier 3 statements with upper end tier 4 feats, but instead this time it is validating tier 5 statements with upper end tier 6 feats. I'm not saying "destroy the world" inherently means 5-B, it's obviously a case by case basis, and as I explained I think this case warrants consideration for the 5-B interpretation.
- Lastly, I'd like to add that this doesn't create any inconsistencies either, as it only effects the tippy-top tiers of the verse. While not being inconsistent =/= being most consistent, I feel like it is worth pointing out nonetheless.
