@skysanji: I do agree that Fairy Tail seems to have gone from lowballed to slightly highballed lately, and I personally don’t think Natsu is taking on a Yonko Commander as easily as others are saying. But I do think Natsu should win. Apologies for the long post in advance.
He was strong enough that he could one shot the War God. Said War God was the size of a mountain, and thus literally the ONLY way for him to be less durable than a mountain would be to be either hollow or less durable than granite. There was nothing that indicated the War God was hollow, and it actually tanked a regular hit from Natsu, who can casually break apart steel two timeskips ago. So pretty much, imagine Natsu doing what he did to the War God on a mountain of steel. That’s insane. It also shows the temperature difference, since BoS Natsu could melt iron with his touch, but this much stronger Natsu was actually using fire.
Another feat, albeit in Dragon Force, was when he hit Zeref in Fairy Heart. Natsu was already very tired from a day of fighting almost non stop, and he hit Zeref so hard the fire reached off the side of a building. But that’s not where the fun stops. Go to Fairy Tail Chapter 533, Page 14 and look at the first panel. Look toward the horizon outside of the hole. His attack destroyed a mountain over a mile away. This feat is something I just found the other day (I think @streak619 @hittheassassin and @gilgameshthepimptoendallpimps would be interested in the fest actually.)
For speed, Natsu doesn’t have many concrete speed feats himself except for reacting to Laxus’ lightning. I can think of at least three reasons this should be true lightning speed, and Natsu wasn’t the only one to react to it. Gajeel did too. Plus, a near dead Erza reacted to a meteor (near lightning speed, but still, she was in the worst shape we have seen her in) and Mirajane outran explosions attached to her, which is similar to what Luffy did, albeit less impressive overall. Overall, Natsu should be solidly in the high triple digit Machs. So Katakuri still has a speed advantage, partly because of precog, but he isn’t going to blitz.
And for durability, Natsu only has one I think is truly worth noting as far as blunt force goes. While tired from a day’s fighting, with one arm burned to a crisp, he tanked a direct punch from Acnologia. Keep in mind, Acnologia makes Gildarts and God Serena look like paper, to the point he was tearing apart their limbs and putting holes in their bodies, one shot. Gildarts is a mountain level character at the absolute VERY least, and God Serena was going to be a good fight for him, plus Serena curbstomped 4 people who should have been comparable to GMG Arc Laxus, who I can (probably) prove is city level. And this was a more serious, AMPED Acnologia, hitting Base Natsu who was tired. As in, he’d just come back from the dead, because Lucy can do that apparently because FREENDSHEP.
Firepower, Natsu has a LOT of. As mentioned, Natsu was able to melt iron with just his touch8s body heat. Now you get a much stronger Natsu in 2nd origin, and then one year of training. And we also have Natsu using fire instead of just touch. This is still Base Natsu. And Natsu can add lightning on top of that. Now, getting into feats, Natsu was able to create a roar so big that people were dots in comparison to a roar that took up half the panel. Natsu’s roar dwarfed a hill. His lightning roar tore through Tenrou Island, which is at least the size of a mountain/large mountain. As mentioned earlier, his fire stretched off into the horizon. And of course, Natsu has a technique in 100YQ now called Purgatory IIRC where he one shot a dude who NO SOLD the attack Natsu used to one shot the War God, who we have established is mountain sized and more durable than steel.
So, overall, Natsu has the raw power to overpower Katakuri, and enough speed to hang.
