Has Erza surpassed Makarov?

あなた raise a pretty valid point with the titan magic, he's probably slower than normal in that mode but definitely stronger, but remember he was brought down によって hades's chain in that mode, and erza was string enough to cut the chain によって pre-time skip. Anyways i don't think she has any amour that can really do much damage to makarov in one shot seeing has he tanked jupiter,, but thr morning 星, つ星 with the photon slicer could harm him and finally the armadura fairy that took part halfway in busting an island into pieces would definitely take him down. i think in a fight, if makarov could get a couple of hits in, like 4-5 in titan mode could off erza but catching her would be a problem when she uses that armourless armour, and she should be able to deal succesive attacks to bring down titan mode. I think makarov's best chance would be fairy law, plus he has spells like 3 pillars of defence, but erza was also able to tank minerva's crazy spell with little damage. plus tanking that kagura strike was INSANE, did u see the cut that attack made, and this was after erza had taken the brunt of the attack with her sword. I think the attack would have been bigger had erza not taken most of it with her sword, plus it was casual, because i believe she can also use slashing form and strong form while archenemy is drawn, Anyways i gues this battle would be very touch, barring fairy law, i think i would be inclined to erza just about beating makarov. But i still respect ur opinion anyways.
