Given what you said, there isn't much I can say to argue that. But, I still think Natsu won't be able to beat Zeref. Why? The air of just pure confidence radiating off of him. And it isn't annoying confidence like Natsu. It's like he knows there's probably no other way for his reanimated kid brother from killing him. He's set his eyes on making the world burn and he's setting it up for his whole kingdom to watch.

And yes, you have a point Alpha. NO TRAINING IS SEEN IN THIS SERIES. Unlike other shows that show you the effort and sweat/blood poured out from particular characters who work for their powers and skills. Hiro hasn't broken any particular mold by being lazy, he's just seen as lazy doing it this way -.-

Hell, the closest to training we got was Gajeel meditating in a waterfall while lightning struck him repeatedly. That was badass and we needed more of that!

Other than that, eh, I don't have high hopes for this War to go well. Both from a writing and execution perspective, Hiro's got no experience in writing warfare. Battles, yes, but war? He skimmed over the 2nd Trade War as irrelevant as it was (why was Trade being fought over? What the Hell was going on, Hiro?!) to basically show he has no knowledge other than what he read online about war. This is going to be worse than the Gentleman Sport that BLEACH treated the first White War as instead of the more realistic warfare in the Blood War.
