Maybe not shocked, but rather disappointed where this is all going. If Natsu really is now so ridiculously powerful, then it might be a good time to introduce some endgame enemies, or let Lucy handle some of those Avatar dudes. Instead Mashima is just fanboying over Natsu. Lucy new powers were a nice idea, but they are still not tested in the field and Natsu is oneshooting people left and right, including a guy who could give Gildarts a fight and now had a eight year advantage.
