sigh so I've been drinking all of this water for nothing.

Agreed, that battle could have went in so many different (and more interesting) directions. I was disappointed with Kubo.

I hope he does as well. Tbh, a lot of characters in the series get some development (Laxus, Gajeel, Juvia, Meredy, etc.) but Team Natsu doesn't really seem to be any different from their debuts. So hopefully when this time skip happens ( I say, when not if, because pretty much every major series does one) he does get better about that.
