But you'll have to accept that foreshadowing is a valid story tactic. And it is common for those that have histories or certain propensities, to end up clashing in the finals battles. Shonen in particular, is renowned for this. Did you have a problem with Gray fighting Juvia in the Phantom arc? Did you have a problem with Natsu fighting the fire guy in the Phantom arc? Did you have a problem with Gray and Lyon fighting in the Galuna island arc? Did you have a problem with Erza fighting Jellal in the Heaven's tower arc? I could go on, but you've seen this all before. The main protagonist is gonna fight the main villain... do you have a problem with that? Would you prefer a "twist" when Wendy fights Zeref alone and wins? |

Considering Sting, he already was beaten to a pulp by Natsu. Mashima will never repeat the same twice. I think he will mess up Minervas plans somehow. May be even fighting her. Quote:

1. Gray and Leon were rivals so they were going to fight 2. Erza vs Jellal was the whole point of the tower of heaven. 3. Natsu vs Zancrow was coincidence since we didn't know about his power until he started All the fights that are happening are because they fit with the whole Sabertooth vs Fairy Tail. Natsu and Gajeel vs Sting Rogue- Dragon Slayer magic. Laxus vs Orga- Both lightning users Erza vs Minerva Female Wizards Gray vs Rufus- Maker magic users. The point of each is basically to prove that FT is stronger in every way. Only reason kagura is involved is cause of Jellal and I expect kagura backstory very soon to explain why she has that sword and why she hates jellal |

And yes, I remembered all of those, because they were all foreshadowed fights in one way or another. Well, Gray/Juvia was a bit too subtle, but ice and water are close enough that it seemed likely. Would you have preferred Natsu/Juvia in the Phantom arc? After all, Natsu fighting another fire user was kinda stupid, eh? Would have been better to have a twist matchup. Hmm, perhaps Natsu/Earth Guy would have been a better matchup. Elfman could have fought Juvia instead. |

You can say that these is illogical and for you it really is. What i don`t like are genre cliches and can`t do anything about them. Shounen cliches. FT`s has them less than Bleach for example, but i can`t wish for more. |

Honestly, dude, it really sounds you're nitpicking and being pedantic. We have TWO matchups that you have a problem with, out of how many this arc? Can't you just let those two fights go? |

It is cool and exciting at first, but when you see same thing happening 50 times over it's boring and shows lack of creativity on author's side =/ In all honesty we didn't even need hints to predict almost every match up there. It is THAT obvious!

kitten, I think you're forgettin that this is an action shonen; for me, just given the genre, predictable fight pairings is pretty much a given. hell, Fairy Tail would lose most of it's fan base is Mashima started being more realistic, and have someone like Jura run around and disrupt half the current pairings by pwning everyone (not that it wouldn't be realistic or fun to see).
My other point would be that you're forgetting Rufus from ST also has pretty decent strategic abilities. all in all, between him and Mavis, FT and ST members should be pairing up only with enemies they WANT to fight, having Kagura as the only outlier as even Mavis didn't know Kagura's epic grudge against Jallal and now Erza |
