Here is another random fact which was said before(I'm not sure whether it was there in Real Tail ) Flare Corona couldn't be any more off its mark. Flare had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the sun!!! Mashima(the troll that he is) pro'lly named her that way since Lucy would use Urano Metoria the Ultimate Magic of the Stars. hmmmm......Stars? Oh yeah....THE SUN IS A STAR!!! THAT WAS GODDAMN OBVIOUS!!!! FLARE WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY TO GET HER ASS WHOOPED BY LUCY!!!! WTF!!!!

Anyway what's your take on this guys?
