Yep, I'll keep it short because I pretty much agree with you Misk. I hated last week's chapter just because I hated the idea that Mashima was going to try and force Erza to be relevant to the plot, but I must admit I didn't mind the flashback. It was fairly nicely done and well-contained...

...until I got to the last pages and remembered that this all has to connect to Erza somehow .-. Like you, I'm worried we're in for some weird Dragon power-up, which... just... no ( .__.) I think I would have liked this so much more if Erza wasn't related to Irene, but oh well, guess we'll see where this goes.

As for the NaLu (or w/e, NaLu fangirls/boys be nuts) I agree that body heat is okay... but when we're reading about a Magic world were Porly can fix eyes and Lucy can summon spirits with many powers and abilities, I do see this choice as very fanservicy. Not in the "fanservice = nudity" category, but the "fanservice = NaLu" category. Alas, I don't care, so I don't have to put up with the crazy fans (or, at least I've seen very little of them, thank heavens).
