Until its proven in the series, consider anything anyone says as BS, nuff said. "True" Dragon Slayers? Hah, they've actually weakened themselves in the long-run by doing that. Implanting Lacrima is a good way to obtain Dragon Force easily but the difference in magnitude is far less. A first generation Dragon Slayer that goes into Dragon Force mode is infinitely more powerful than a second generation which requires that they go into Dragon Force mode at all to use their Dragon Slayer abilities. What they've done is artificially given themselves a power boost, and an easier time of achieving Dragon Force. However. The magnitude will never be the same as a first generation's Dragon Force. In the end, my belief that once a Dragon Slayer masters Dragon Force, they are less human and more dragon in their physiology. Its pretty clear by now that the thing that makes Dragon Slayers unique is likely some physical characteristic obtained through a Dragon parent. That and Dragon Slayer Magic's inherent ability is the absorption of a particular kind of magic, namely an element, and then amplifying it and channeling it through the caster.
