I know, I'm just saying events of the current timeline happened because of Future Lucy. Humanity would have been fucked and all that but she made him bring it on quicker... much quicker. If it wasn't for 1st Timeline Lucy interfering with the 2nd Timeline, 2nd Timeline Rogue wouldn't have rolled up in the 3rd/current Timeline to become an omnicidal dragon controlling dragon slaying maniac overlord who pines over his long dead and gone frog suit winged talking cat best friend (I still think he was badass, just hated the way he eventually lost).

BTW, you are 100% correct; trying to make heads or tails of time travel/time logic/timey-wimey-whatever is annoying as fuck.

Also, I'm trying to forget that failure of a 2nd half of an arc that had so much potential wasted; it brings back bad memories... seriously Hiro Mashima needs to work on his execution and shit...
