. Hakune won't know what hit her. I know @Jko will get a heart attack but it's the truth.
This what it looks like to live rent free in someone's head lol.Laxus wins while laughing. The Acno Blitzer
I don't get it either, especially when Laxus never blitz'd him, Acno blocked or straight up no sold, as we can see with Jellal. he allows people to hit him, Acnologia then slammed him into the ground, and it seems like Acnologia was perfectly aware that Laxus was behind him, and it amused him.

Ok, let me respond to this first one so we can settle this flawed ass logic. The act of powering up doesn’t activate Hakune’s skill and it’s not an automatic response attack. So it’s not an automatic win, or win condition. It’s a broken spell, but still a spell. She has to activate it, and that means it’s a battle of speed. Point to one thing that suggests she’s capable of beating him in speed. Laxus opens his fights with the same overpowering lightning strike time and again. Why would this be different? What suggests she can survive this attack?

You see those Speed lines right? How he wasn’t there before? He was able to get inside Acno’s range and land a blow unlike the rest of the slayers. Acno’s response looks good on him, not bad on Laxus lol.I don't get it either, especially when Laxus never blitz'd him, Acno blocked or straight up no sold, as we can see with Jellal. he allows people to hit him, Acnologia then slammed him into the ground, and it seems like Acnologia was perfectly aware that Laxus was behind him, and it amused him.
He looked over, grinned at Laxus and reacted accordingly, it would have been a blitz if Laxus hit Acnologia and Acno couldn't respond or react in time and was struck.
I'm not saying that Laxus isn't fast, he's certainly fast, but not faster than any version of Acnologia.
The point is Acno didn't see nor react to Laxus. Laxus attacked him, and only then Acno noticed him.I don't get it either, especially when Laxus never blitz'd him, Acno blocked or straight up no sold, as we can see with Jellal. he allows people to hit him, Acnologia then slammed him into the ground, and it seems like Acnologia was perfectly aware that Laxus was behind him, and it amused him.

Even if Acnologia didn't notice him, that doesn't mean anything because he was focusing on Gajeel at the time, he views them all as insignificant vermin, so not only is he not taking then seriously, but he is also toying with them.
Exactly, it's easier to get behind someone when he's fighting more than one person, get behind him when he's focusing on someone or something else.Only the strongest chosen ones can "blitz" the big bad behind the back while hes fighting 6 others at the front
I don't think it's a change in MP type, I think it's just a Dragon Slayer mode, similar to Natsu's Fire Dragon King Mode, it's just a stronger version of his regular lightning, he described it as "Lightning that surpasses lightning,"
If it was just stronger lightning why would it work on Wahl? DS lightning is already just a stronger lightning.

Well, it's different enough from regular lightning that Wall's ability to absorb lightning is negated.
It's the exact same thing as Gray switching from ice-make to devil slaying magic.
Who says Hakune even needs to power up at all? Why would she even waste time doing that?
She can cast the spell in her base form, almost near-instantaneously.
As for Laxus, he is going to need to use an actual named attack to take her down, which has an even longer casting time than her MP freezing ability.
Any simple lightning bolt from the sky can be frozen over, given that Hakune's chill is enough to even freeze over a wizard who arguably has one of the best ice resistance in the manga.
And Laxus doesn't even have any ice resistance himself, so he's even more susceptible to the freezing effects than Gray was.
You have to remember, Hakune's freezing spirit art isn't just all about hax. Her freezing spell is colder than top-tier ice resistance.
Where is the proof that Laxus switching from regular lightning to DS lightning or RLM would be able to halve Hakune's freezing spirit art?
Natsu has access to his Lightning Fire Dragon (LFD) spells, so if changing to another mode/element was an option all along, then it would've already been done. But clearly, that's not the case.
In fact, Natsu wasn't even able to combine fire & lightning because he couldn't even tap into his flames to begin...
So if Natsu couldn't accomplish this feat (and Laxus will start out in base form just like Natsu in this battle), then that makes all of your assumptions highly unreasonable.
In terms of speed, it's faster to freeze someone's MP (what they already have in their body) than for someone to actively change their magic element from one form to another.
I'm not even assuming that she has to tank his opening shot.
If his opening shot is an actual named spell, it's already automatically slower than Hakune's MP freezing technique.
If it's a basic or unnamed spell, it has the capacity to be frozen over immediately considering Hakune can freeze over a person or object that has tremendous ice resistance.
