@Panemorfos You are only comparing characters at their current power levels at the current time and the ones that have the advantage of time to train and increase in power level. You have to consider that dead people were still more powerful when thy were alive, compared to the present characters. For example, I'm pretty that Ur can tank the wizards you ranked from 7-50 if she isn't dead. Even if this characters that are alive right now have been training, Ur was already powerful at that time. With Ultear, of course, she will be no match against anyone now that she's old (ancient). However, before using Last Ages, Ultear was super OP and could (in my opinion) handle a Spriggan by herself. Hades, like you said showed his last potential 2 time skips ago, so characters have 2 time skips amount of time to train which made them more powerful. However, I can still argue that Hades is still at the power level as the Spriggan 12 right now or atleast present Natsu, or not more. Remember, he was tanking Erza, Laxus, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, and Lucy all together at that time. He should have won, if his "heart" wasn't destroyed. Jellal completely demolished Oration Seis at Tartaros Arc. I believe that's a feature worth noting. Tartarus was only 1 year ago at the present time. So, that kind of feat is still noteworthy and that feat makes me believe that he should be ranked above Laxus. This is the same case with Ultear as well. Tartarus arc was only 1 year ago, and Ultear at that time (before last Ages) is powerful enough to take on a Spriggan. I don't know about Natsu since he always gets a power up and that's how he wins.
