It's weird how many things change once the manga is released in English by Kodansha, like when they revealed that Juvia's surname is "Lockser" instead of "Loxar," "Fried's" name is actually "Freed," and "Bixlow" is "Bickslow." It's probably because people grow so accustomed to fan translations that they take them as official translations, since they're so much more accessible to everyone. There has been more than one account of people going to Wikipedia and changing Ur's name to "Ul" just because her daughter Ultear was named after her being the tears of her mother (and no, that's not a manga spoiler; it was stated clearly by Siegrain/Jellal in episode 18, where Ultear was revealed to be Ur's daughter in the first place). And don't get me started on Jellal/Gerard... Of course, this brings up the fact that, in the first season, there were instances of Erza's name being spelled "Elsa" or "Elza." Well, I believe in one of those episodes, the scene was edited to spell her name as "Erza" (episode 10, where you can see Erza's name written on that tally board where she and Natsu are fighting). At least, it was edited when I checked out the episode uploaded by Funimation, so maybe the same was done for the home release in Japan. But I can't say for sure.

Talk about taking an exaggerated view point. Lucy is having to fight without her ace which is a serious handicap. It'd be like having Natsu disallowed from using his roar. Besides since the fight was thrown how can we possibly guess at how ineffective the wool attack would have been? The cave doesn't give Bickslow nearly as much open space as the last time he and Lucy fought, not to mention he doesn't have much in terms of replacements for his dolls. Just because Freed and Bickslow agreed to throw the fight before it got started doesn't give anything to judge Lucy or Cana's abilities from.

Freed showed again how awesome is he! I wonder the "couple" that will be against Mirajane will they fight? heh ... She only fought once in the last 2 years! I really wanted freed to become S class but it doesnt matter , he didn't become because he had a good reason !
