Well, you are right. I might have overrated Zero a little bit... But he still is monstrous. Jellal survives DF Natsu's punch because it's a usual punch, Zero was (almost) killed because it's a Metsuryuu Ougi. Also I think all of Jellal's magic power overweighs a single bite of Etherion, and IIRC Natsu had more scales on his body when fighting with Zero, so OS arc DF > ToH arc DF.
