Why do you think Zero is so strong? Why do you think he is stronger than Hades?

There is no way Zero is stronger than Hades... The only reason Hades lose to lightning dragon Natsu is because i mean seriously... It's fucking lightning dragon Natsu after Hades got his face punched into the ground by Laxus a couple times.

If Natsu went lightning dragon on Zero then Zero would have melted much faster than Hades. Zero was strong but Hades was a fucking monster literally.

Also the whole Jellal vs Zero thing, I think in a fight yeah of course Zero would have won pre time skip but as far as durability, Jellal wins I mean we don't even know if Zero is alive, I'm assuming hes dead considering in the manga he is not around and in the anime only his hair was around. Natsu punched Jellal through the tower of heaven, it exploded, and Jellal survived. Natsu headbutted Zero into a lacrima, it exploded, and Zero is most likely dead...

In that sense I could not ever be swayed that Zero is > Hades.
