 * 1) I'm not implying that they are the same in every way. I'm just saying that both of those situations were intended to hype. And they were. I never said that hype alone could be used to estimate strength. In fact, in our last argument, I was the one who was arguing with you about how they aren't necessarily accurate measurements. And for that matter, I never once said or implied that Jura couldn't have defeated the 100 monsters. What I said was that Mashima included that commented to hype the monsters, and he did.
 * Yes, he was gone like a fart in the wind. But that comment was never in the manga. Ergo, they took their on liberties with it. And yes, Mangapanda rushes and often makes mistakes because of it, but they don't insert their own comments into the manga. :/
 * 1) Of course not. But you have to consider characters personalities here. Laxus, Kagura, Erza, and Gildarts are seen as epic and cool characters. Losing their composure in the way Makarov did is just not in their nature, and it would be awkward to see. I'll give you an example. Image Acnologia coming and shooting an enormous blast. Even though Acnologia is a thousand times more powerful than Laxus, do you honestly think you'd see Laxus's jaw drop in the way that Makarov's did? No. Because even though Acnologia is more powerful, that's just not the kind of characters Laxus is. He's the chill, laid back, epic type. Makarov on the other hand is only epic in battle. The rest of the time he's just this midget that we all laugh at. Which is why his jaw dropping doesn't strike us as weird or out of place. And yes, I think agreeing to disagree would be the best option here. >_>
 * 2) Uhhh... no. Erza's comment was made after Ooba's comment. And lol, are me and you seeing some different text?! Ooba said during the guild's absence. Last time I checked, Makarov was absent with the guild.
 * 3) Once again, I'm not saying it's not speculation (technically most of our debates are founded on speculation). But I think we both know that there's a good chance that he has a way to counter it. And come on, you know damn well that Aria example doesn't hold true. Aria snuck up on Makarov while he was distracted by Jose threatening to murder Lucy. And I'm not saying experience means you can counter everything. I just think it's very likely Makarov can counter Gravity Magic. Natsu had no trouble doing it, after all. Technically, Kagura could've ended that match in one second with Gravity Magic. Yet, she didn't. That says something to me at least. :/
 * 4) Being the GM doesn't seem that busy honestly. And it's not like we see hour by hour shots of what everyone does. Or even day by day for that matter. But I think it'd be best to agree to disagree here. It's not like either of us can prove what a character may or may not have been doing off screen. ( .___.)
 * 5) It was a fair fight imo. He blindfolded himself because he didn't have a way to counter the effects of her eye Magic. :/
 * Yes, he will. Because, according to Mashima, his Magic Power is immeasurable. :/ And lol, you can't claim "in comparison to an average Mage" because that wasn't what was said.
