I would agree that Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragonball, etc. are not perfect if it comes to consistence by feats, statements, or scaling. But they are better in those terms.
Don´t know how your guys debate in crossbattle, but even the flaws are part of the verses. They are consistent and inconsistent feats, statements, scaling, etc.
One example: Charakter X uses death magic against a charakter, who don´t die because plot. This ability automatically wouldn´t work against Charakters who has at least the same stats, or higher (Unless there is an good reason, why i didn´t work)
As long this match has no rules about CIS/PIS/etc. allowed, i don´t see why we should ignore the flaws.
Probably that works different on this board, then forget what i am saying. It is just a standard debate in many other boards.
Well, Gajeel can eat iron, so i would say that is a possible scenario. The question is, can Gajeel keep up with Zoro in terms of speed? Zoro already cut through Iron as he did against Daz Bonez. We using current Zoro, so i don´t see why Zoro should have trouble with Gajeel his durability. He cut even trough a Pacifista
Explain me the shadow ability pls. Don´t understand how that stop Zoro from attack him.
