Oh how Aizen has fallen...

Anyway I was just wondering how my fellow anime watchers would class the top 5 in FT at this time in the anime.

I don't read the manga, and my top five (in terms of most powerful) are:

1) Gildarts
2) Laxus
3) Natsu
4) Erza
5) Mira

Raw power is a bit subjective and situation dependent. It does play a role, but it's not the sole arbiter of who might win in a fight (which I know, is not what you asked). But I say this because I'd put Natsu lower than Erza and Mirajane. He can power up, depending on who he fights, but those two will tend to mop the floor with him. And I'd place Makarov at least on par with Gildartz, if not a bit higher.

Of course, if you are going outside the FT guild, there are others to consider, like Jura and the other wizard saints, and Jellal.

I'm getting tired of Natsu's hypocrisy. Getting annoyed about Sabertooth hurts his guild members. Who exactly demolished Sabertooth's inn and started a fight with their guild master? Don't get me wrong I don't like their ways either but if Natsu wouldn't jump the gun each time this wouldn't have happened.

true in a way

but theres a difference between just knocking people out and torturing people who are already beyond knocked out

Episode 172 covered chapter 292, and most of chapter 293.

There's a little bit of hypocrisy there, but there is a couple big differences. First once the people Natsu hit were down, he stopped attacking them. Minerva on the other hand made it a point to torture Lucy even after she was down and had lost. Second, Natsu went looking for the guild master, he didn't go to the inn to beat up random Sabertooth members. That he injured others was likely a function of them attacking him for being an intruder and him counter attacking. Minerva on the other hand had an issue with Natsu, and deliberately went after someone else.

I don't think Natsu crossed the line to hypocrisy. When someone goes too far he is going to get pissed and respond. He didn't just casually go to Sabertooth's in on a whim here. Sabertooth started this by treating their own guild members like garbage. And besides I don't think there would have been a raging response if Lucy had simply lost. It would have been reason to get payback for her and win this thing, but it wouldn't have turned into this.

Sabertooth went overboard with Yukino and Natsu responded, Minerva went way too far on Lucy and again comes a response. You can dislike Natsu going by his feelings, but his actions aren't inconsistent or hypocritical.

Natsu hates cruelty and disrespecting comrades. Sabertooth does both. It is a wonder he hates them?

It's not hypocricy. They've made him their enemy.

It would only be hypocricy if they got all upset about Natsu hurting their comrades because they cared about them. Since they only view them as trash who made the guild (or the master) look bad, they're just proving his point.

While I still think that it's hypocrisy it might be a bit too strong of a word.

He gets annoyed about people who treat others badly then he goes to beat up the guild master. It's not exactly the same since Sabertooth hurt Yukino's feelings while Natsu used straight-up violence, but in the end it comes down to hurting the other party. He might not like Sabertooth's ways but if everyone would try to bring others to his or her standards it would never end.

Maybe I'm just tired of the Moral Myopia trope as well as the Broken Aesop one.

Sabertooth made Fairy Tail their enemy but it also goes the other way.

I think it's part of his personality for sure. I can see both sides honestly. While Natsu was the one who went on barging in and hurting the other guildies of ST for how they handled things with their own members. Sabertooth retaliating (although it was more about pride than honor) is justified. I think what isn't may be their treatment of Lucy and how their goal was different. I'm not entirely sure what Natsu's goal was, maybe just force his ideology on them, but ST's was just to hurt Fairy Tail and make ST come off as the best.

Natsu should probably think things out a bit more though. He seemed calmer in the previous arc, but then no one was particularly attacking the guild.

I don't understand how you can call it hypocrisy, the ideology was the same. Natsu expects guild members to care for their own. This was why he attacked ST and this was why he got angry about Lucy being beaten to an inch of her life. As a fellow guild member, he supported Lucy. If anything, I'd consider the opposite to be hypocritical, not getting angry about Lucy would show that he didn't care about his fellow guildmates and would make his attack on ST look hypocritical.

Milliana fight was a bit amusing, heh. The mouse and kotatsu things got chuckles out of me. FT still can do decent humor from time to time. I suppose, in stretching it out, they had to have Kagura stand off to the side, since she could have ended both of them quickly. Although I was hoping for a bit more of a struggle from Lyon; he comes off looking weak here.

And the DS battle has begun, with Natsu and Gajeel owning the fight thus far. Sting and Rogue look to pump things up for round 2, though.

Wonder what Lucy said? I may have to go back and look, but I can't recall something like that in the manga.

The Milliana fight was changed dramatically in the anime adaption.
In the manga, it ended in a dead tie. Kagura stating that Lyon is a worthy challenge.

But here, he basically lost. Kinda shocking!

The dragonslayer battle will be a good fight. I'm assuming the fight will last 2 more episodes up until the anime takes a hiatus the end of march?

this was a "anime only" amazing moment for shipers, i'm also really curious about what she told to natsu, omg for the fight part at last was better than the offscreen fight in manga but in "romance" was really amazing, for me the level of cutness and love was out of "sight".
