Lol, Acnologia only "stomped on Irene's body" after she was already defeated. He did not have any intentions of killing her in their initial encounter. And "impressed" is not always the same thing as "being strong". If he had low expectations, Irene could impress him just by being decent...

No problem. I disagree, Irene should've never underestimated Wendy and Erza to begin with. If she was truly competent, she should've just beat Wendy + Erza with ease. The fact is, she blundered multiple times and didn't finish Erza off when she had the chance (should've attacked Erza from...

Of course there are spells stronger than Universe One. Irene already casted Deus Sema, which was one of her strongest spells, and Erza was still able to break it to pieces. And lol, Acnologia definitely spared her. He never tried attacking her once and was only shown talking to her. If he...

Irene using Universe One wouldn't help her at all in her fight against Wendy/Erza... it's a displacement spell, not an attack spell. And I wouldn't say that she "bested" Acnologia... If anything, Acnologia spared her and she simply stalled the battle. And actually, Irene should've expected...

Here's your proof. Acnologia, like Irene, was originally a human who eventually underwent dragonization. As you can see from the panels above, he was struck by Igneel's dragon roar at near point-blank range and could still maintain his dragon form. Erza's sword + Wendy's infused-DS magic is...

Irene's mistake was underestimating her opponents and not expecting Wendy to counter her enchantments. Irene was fighting seriously, but she was just outclassed by Wendy who kept negating her enchantments. And possessing Wendy's body isn't even that difficult. Wendy was also able to take...

Not really. August's performances were better than Irene's performances because he didn't make repeated mistakes in his battle against Gildartz and Jellal + OS like Irene did against Wendy + Erza. And it is quite obvious that August has superior magic compared to Irene. Anyone would agree with...

Just because Irene didn't expect Wendy to counter her, it doesn't mean that she wasn't serious. In fact, Irene fought more aggressively than Wendy throughout the fight and was constantly on the attack (such as trying to steal Wendy's body) - it's just that she made a mistake and realized that...

Without a DS on Gildartz's team, Dragon Irene will likely be the winner. This is mainly due to the fact that it is extremely difficult to deal damage to a fully transformed dragon without DS magic. Having the ability to copy & nullify magic gives a person tremendous advantages in a battle...

I never judge a battle based off of only physical measurements. That would be the definition of power-ranking, which I have no interest in. And Erza wasn't the reason why Irene under-performed in their battle. Irene underestimated her opponents and was countered multiple times by Wendy...

I think I've always been pretty clear on where I stand on this match-up. You can look at my posts from 2016, look at my vote on the thread's poll, or just read my previous statements. As for your question, I did answer it. I even quoted it in my last post. Here was my answer:

Cherry pick? I don't remember any reliable source calling Irene the "strongest Spriggan" either. If you ask me, Mashima made it painfully obvious that August was the "strongest Spriggan". Just take a look at their performances. August went toe-to-toe with Gildartz while Irene struggled against...

I never said that Makarov saw Irene... I was replying to your original post where you told me to look at Jko's post, which stated that "August was never stated to be the strongest by anyone but himself". I'm simply pointing out that the above statement is flat out wrong because there are legit...

I did, and his response is incorrect. His assertion that "August was never stated to be the strongest by anyone but himself" is actually false. August is unanimously agreed upon as the strongest Spriggan, both by his allies and his enemies. There was never any doubt about his position as the...

August was always recognized to be the leader and the strongest of the 12. Brandish was the only one who tried to draw parallels between August and Irene, but she's not a trustworthy source considering that her statements have been proven wrong repeatedly throughout the war. And nothing stops...
