This makes senseYou’re always on about “the first punch” but then ignore literally every punch after that, which were all destroying Bloodman’s body. I’d believe multiple body-destroying punches over one that didn’t do so.
Let’s go over what Bloodman hit Gajeel with in Third Seal: Explosive Spiral, Over Skelter, and stabbed him with thorns, and that’s not mentioning Tenchi Kaimei or the fact that his roar matched Gajeel’s (which can be attributed to his magic being worse than his curse power but I digress). Gajeel took all that and was still able to keep fighting, which wouldn’t be possible if the gap between them was as big as you’re suggesting. And we know that Gajeel has always had AP comparable to his durability, meaning that while he is weaker than Bloodman, it’s not so much that Bloodman should be 6-C.
Neither backscaling from DF or upscaling from Base Gajeel would work here.
