 * 1) Contaminated Ethernano aren't as damaging as MBT. Say Laxus inhaled a x liters of air. The dose would be much more lethal if it was pure MBT than if it was MBT and contaminated Ethernano. The fact that Laxus inhaled a diluted does of MBT is actually advantageous for him. ... And swallow? What does Juvia swallowing MBT have to do with anything. She was water inside Keyes. No defences against MBT. She doesn't have to swallow them to be infected. As I said before, Keyes' MBT never got a chance to spread out. He never let it spread out. So why should it proliferate like Tempester's MBT explosion, which basically threw his MBT to the winds?
 * 2) And I've shown you an image showing Keyes retracting the MBT he used throughout the battle. I've also shown you how he could create huge holes in his own body. If his MBT vanished, he'd be a walking swiss cheese. I also stated that the 'dark mist' was not MBT at all. You have provided no further proof that it was MBT other than saying that it looks like MBT to you. Keyes' MBT don't contaminate Ethernano? Wut? Why do you think it harmed Juvia? Let me break it down for you. People in Earth Land store Magic in their bodies. This is in the form of Ethernano. A severe lack of Magic, or pure Ethernano, causes Magic Deficiency Disease. MBT contaminate Ethernano. If MBT enter a person's body, they begin to contaminate the Ethernano in the body, causing the extremely dangerous Magic Deficiency Disease. So, yes, Keyes' MBT do contaminate Ethernano. That is why Juvia was incapacitated in the first place.
 * 3) And what does ripping the body apart have to do with anything? Look at the images I showed where Keyes bypassed Gray's attacks by creating huge holes in his own body. His skull too. He reformed it. How is this case any different? Just because Juvia was inside him? How does that make any difference? He can just treat it as another huge hole he has created in his own body. The black mist is Keyes' cloak. He wears one, you know. He isn't a naked skeleton. And clothes don't vanish, except when there's Requip fanservice or the like. ;)
 * 4) Tempester showed us that MBT explosion is a last resort. And a bit wouldn't be enough to knock anybody out. Tempester released all of his MBT by destroying his body, while Keyes just released meagre amounts of his in his attacks. That's why the disaster was of that level in Tempester's case. A bit of MBT would be useless, it could just be fanned away. And Keyes would leave himself open to attack if he concentrated on moving loose MBT around. As Silver stated, Keyes is weak. The morphing is his trump, like speed is Racer's. Both were cleverly bypassed (well, Racer's was in his first defeat anyway, then he got Jellal'd >.>).
 * 5) Look at how Keyes avoided Gray's attacks. There are clearly bits not attached to him. He still retracted them to make himself whole again. Otherwise he'd just be a giant hole soon. :/ Then there was the battlefield MBT retrieval when Keyes thought he had won. Why is this case any different?
 * 6) Keyes never let his MBT spread. He never got the chance. So why do you expect any Ethernano contamination? Morphing is his best defense, he is not going to give that up by using huge amounts of MBT in his projectiles. Just look at his defense on the cards and you'll realize why.
 * 7) This ... is basically the same as the above point. Tempester's MBT didn't contaminate the air when they were in his body, did they? Why do you expect Keyes' to?
 * lol, why would you doubt the toxicity of Keyes' MBT and Tenchi Kaimei? The latter, I can understand, but why the former? Keyes' MBT are just as toxic as Tempester's 'cause ... they are MBT. Oxygen is oxygen. The oxygen that one tree exhales is no different to a human than the oxygen exhaled by another tree.
 * 1) And ... do we even know what the 4000 and 2500 stand for? 2000 for Silver's Feelings? What does that even mean? Sorry, we just can't compare them. We don't even know if a higher number means it is a better score. On the other hand, it is certain that the higher the offense, the better it is. That's what the numbers show. And feats? lol, why would you use feats when you have a numerical comparison given by Mashima? Sorry, that's just ridiculous. Kyouka clearly outclasses Seilah from the info available to the two of us.
 * 2) That's his cloak, he's not a naked skeleton. Yup, lungs filter out impurities. Lucky that he took it in his lungs, that means the impact was reduced by a tiny amount. Juvia was infected while in her water form, meaning the MBT went directly into her entire body. A system-wide shock. Yet, it took Laxus a week while Juvia was incapacitated for a bit, but not by much. Just shows you how much more durable she is, right?

My entire point is that trying to think logically about feats in FTverse can lead to ridiculous conclusions such as Juvia outstripping Laxus in durability. Feats can be used for comparison, especially if it is antagonists, but very difficult to do so for protagonists. Don't expect anybody to get convinced by arguments based on feats. If they are, good for you. If not, they're not being illogical. ;)
