Fairy Tail Thread (Spoilers)

Putting numbers to stuff is always dangerous, but I think you're seriously overestimating Natsu there. Maybe immediately after he ate Laxus lightning for the first time, but he has shown no signs of being anywhere near that powerful when he does it using his own magic. And even when he was using Laxus magic, he burnt through it all in a handful of attacks.

Natsu vs Max was with his own magic, but I don't remember if his Roar was as powerful as the time when he used it against Hades. I'm not sure whether Laxus has even shown that kind of firepower (the one he used against Hades, I mean) with his Roar.

Ok, yeah, he got second origin to offset that by a little bit, but as we saw with Gajeel, the change that made is no different to the 3 months that Laxus spent training.

I'm actually quite confused about this whole Second Origin thing. I wonder if it's something that is activated, because Erza did something like that with her fight against Minerva.

Perhaps it is because Erza has already achieved Second Origin, but had not activated it yet. Ultear's magic awakens and activates a mage's Second Origin, but since Erza already had hers, she didn't get it activated? Which means she was fighting at the strength she was seven years ago before she fought Minerva.

If it's not that, though, then that means the rest of Team Natsu has yet to activate their Second Origin, even though their magic was still passively boosted by its awakening. Which means they can still get another power-up.
