People are fucking throwing around "Nakama" power lately when it isn't even happening. It makes those fans look dumb as shit. Hell it hasn't even really happened since the Erza Vs. Kyoka battle, and most of the other Tartaros fights were not like that.
You can't use Avatar arc as an example of nakama power either, since it was just to show off how strong Team Natsu had become after the timeskip and didn't involve anyone getting their ass kicked and then proceeding to one shot someone.
Right now it's clear all the members of Team Natsu (Team A) are stronger and have reserves of power they haven't had to dip into yet, but of course as soon as they do and manage to win a single fight in this arc, people will call out "NAKAMA POWER" like the idiots they are.
Not really as Nakama power, because Nakama power is only necessary vs OP enemies.
The beef everyone has with this Arc is the god oneshote .
Ib4 people keep bitching how this wasn´t a god and whatnot
YOU DO NOT DO THAT!
This panel is such a betrayel for manga and the arts, everything about it is wrong a deliberate missguide. If this was Jojo´s it would have written "MENACING" all over. This panel had the sole purpose of missguiding the audience in thinking that thing is "something" just to oneshot it.
This has nothing to do with Nakama power ups, people are just retarded and can´t phrase themselves, it´s just terrible writing, it´s the purposeful betrayel of expectations.Because of how manacing the war god appeared, he seemed like he was a powerful opponent. However, Natsu oneshotting it was not terrible writing. That panel wanted to make people think it was "something" because that would make the achievement of Natsu oneshotting it have more impact. Sure, he oneshot Bluenote, someone who he couldn't stand up to at all during the Tenrou arc. However, I honestly think him oneshotting Bluenote was that noteworthy because I believe Natsu was either on par, or stronger than Bluenote after the timeskip.
If you want to make an achievement look big, you make the obstacle for the achievement look like it's difficult. Then, when you get past the obstacle, it seems like it's a big achievement. In this case, the obstacle was fighting that menacing war god. It was made to look so menacing to make Natsu oneshotting it look like a bigger achievement.
Again, it's not terrible writing, it's a writing technique to make something seem bigger than it would otherwise. If Hiro made the war god seem less menacing, then Natsu oneshotting it would not showcase his new-found strength.
