few examples... -Lullaby arc: save erza's intro for the next arc and use Loki so he can get serious build up before his personal arc -short arc involving Levi, jet and droy so we might actually know enough about them to give a damn when we see them pinned up against a tree -Phanom Arc: Good that elfman got to shine, but also could have given Kana someone strong to fight aswell so she could have atleast ONE point to prove why she's a potential s-class -Edolas arc: Replace Gray... not sure who, but gray didn't get any good development in that arc and there are others who could use the panel time more Quote:
Frankly, i can't help but think that, like the resurrection of lisanna, Levi's status is an asspull by Mashima so that he can please fans. Namely, he had heard all of the fan shipping of Gajeel and Levi and thus decided to upgrade her to an A-class mage so that he had an excuse to give them panel time together. Hell when you think about it, her major fight in the previous arc was her and gajeel fighting minions instead of the seven kin; it was essentially a filler fight. Though granted, i'm not as annoyed by Levi's sudden upgrade as i am about Lisanna's resurrection; but i would prefer that he go all the way if he is gonna do it and actually give us a reason to believe she is an A-class mage.

Well, we know why Gajeel wasn't chosen (Erza with the cockblock)...
Mira probably vouched for Fried...Natsu and Gray are shoo-ins, so is Juvia as she was S-class in Phantom. 'Mest' ruined the final spot...so, with the excpetion of Happy and Wendy, and technically Loki as well, the partners of the S-class exam could have also been chosen to take it as well. ...so unless Master is 'rewarding' her for her efforts in taking down the runes during the entire Laxus fiasco, I don't see how Levy should even be there either... And honestly, Gajeel was getting nerfed as of late too. He should be nearly on par with Natsu and that shouldn't have changed so much that he gets taken out by footsoldiers in the first skirmish and you have Natsu beating Zancrow, fighting Ultear, fighting Kain, getting smashed by Bluenote, and still able to even attempt to take down Hades... ...priorities, Mashima, priorities...

(Okay, technically I suppose you could rewrite it so Natsu+Lucy run into Gray+Loki by accident and are caught up together in Eisenwald's plans, but personally, I like the Lullaby arc the way it is. It was Erza's intro, the team's first outing together, the first "big" arc, and (sadly) remains one of Mashima's better-written arcs. I'm loath to fiddle with it too much.) Quote:

He kinda did miss out on it. I mean, the best part about going to a Bizarro world is interacting with your bizarro self, and gray didn't really get much out of that... That's why would never even consider removing erza because ErzaVsErza was just plain awesome. Lucy got some good times with her bizzaro twin... Natsu and wendy not so much, but they needed to be there for Happy's and Charle's sake. And Gajeel needed to be there to get his cat.

As far as Gajeel goes I'm guessing he is at Raven Tail right now doing his wok as a double agent. As far as the rest who knows maybe Makarov has them near by afterall they do think there is something darker going on. Last edited by GundamFan; 2012-01-10 at 18:52. |

I've got a theory I think the 4th gen DS are going to be neos with multiple Dragon Lacrimas and the 5th gen are going to be hybrids with multiple Dragon Lacrimas. Also glad to see Juvia making some progress with Gray poor Lyon doesn't stand a chance. |

Well Juvia is a little paranoid and stalkerish but Gray seems to be warming up to her he was worried about after he sent after Zefer when he made it back first from fighting Hades and he also saved her from Acnologia. Now granted throwing a lady over your shoulder and running like hell isn't the most heroic way to save them but when your talking about the Black Dragon the Apocalypse it's probably the most effective.
