Acnologia and Dragon Gods/Calamity Bloods… "¿Equals?" Let's find out.
People disagree with Acnologia and Dragon Gods being equal, focusing on the "Arguably".
"Each of them is arguably as strong as Acnologia" and while I understand the reasoning I don't think Elefsaria is lying here.
Don't get me wrong, he's a fucking liar, wdym the reward is "anything you can imagine" but you can't kill 6 lizards? (In comparison with the reward, no disrespect to the DGods)
But the point is neither Elefsaria nor DGods or Calamity Bloods knew about SBT or "SBT Acnologia".
They knew the Acnologia from 400 years ago.
"You're saying we're 400 years in the future?"
"what happened to Acnologia?"
"Even we couldn't take down Acnologia when we banded together…"
And even then all of them lost.
But statements are never enough so let's look at Acnologia's feats 400 years after defeating the Calamity Bloods (since we don't have feats from that era), and also at the DGods feats in comparison to find out, how "equal" they're
Keep in mind the Acnologia that defeated the CB's should be MUCH WEAKER compared to the feats we have to look at, I mean, duh it's 400 years later.
Acnologia blows Tenrou island.
Acnologia's arrival to Tartaros arc
Acnologia tanks Igneel's roar (thanks to another user I also have multiple pieces of evidence for "prime Igneel" being the top 2 in-verse behind Acnologia=)
Acnologia kills Igneel, this has to be by far his most impressive preSBT feat imo
Acnologia finishes Igneel
God Serena is out. He was to OP for his own good, even after bringing him back weakened it was Gildarts business.
That would be all for Acnologia feats pre-SBT
Dragon Gods feats
Merc is like a Golden Retriever, he doesn't really have a lot of fighting feats, the most impressive to me was "water in the sky and water underground" at the same time
Also this, but it ain't his feat, lol
VSBW has Elefsaria at fucking universal for beating Dogra 100 years ago, I don't even want to explain how wrong is that.
Dogra durability is above Selene who "lost" in human form against that same move against Suzaku.
Furthermore they couldn't even hurt Dogra until the orbs were broken, similar with Aldoron, his seeds and Natsu not being able to see Aldoron's attacks.
Viernes "The sky it's turning gold!" self-explanatory.
Selene. Selene.
I always share the one flooding Ermina from Elentir or the one making the moon bigger, but I also like this one even if it is a lot more abstract (the moon breaks like glass)
Aldoron's continental spell
Levia "sucks" Laxus soul, (yeah, saved by Wraith, still impressive magic)
Eternal Flare by Faris (this was the move Acnologia did after eating SBT)
Ignia "absorbs" Faris/a collaboration? idc
Ignia nosells the same move that defeated Acnologia but not under the same circumstances but not under the same circumstances (thank god this happened I don't want to see that ugly ass giant rainbow bs never again)
Ignia's sun
Conclusion
I feel like DGods have done more than enough to be worthy of the claim "arguably as strong as Acnologia" not only from 400 years ago, but as far as pre SBT era.
Some DGods have even better feats than Acnologia (up until Acnologia eating SBT, with that feat not included) but they would still lose against him because of the nature of the matchup, they use magic, and magic just ain't going to make it against Acnologia.
Also I feel it's worth taking into consideration Elefsaria wasn't talking as a powerscaler, he was probably referring to how dragons are an unstopabble force humanity can't really deal with and the amount of destruction they can cause, and as I said, I feel almost every single one of the Dragon Gods have shown feats on the same lvl or even superior to pre SBT Acnologia.
So makes sense for Elefsaria to say that, when the Acnologia they knew was a much weaker version.
