The problem here is that both the females have shown nothing noteworthy other than trashing normal SS. But then all the hype that Mirajane gets is that she oneshots those two girls. The only thing that this proves is that Alegria is stronger than normal SS... which doesn't even need proving. You get where I'm going with this?

Obviously being childish and annoying is not related to strength. I consider Brandish to be incredibly powerful, after all. :3 *runs away from Dex* In fact I would've been perfectly fine with Mira actually losing here. Instead, we had a fight whose progression was so... retarded. Mirajane wanting to finish things fast is understandable, but there needs to be a balance between duration and MP consumption. All Mira knows is that FT has been randomly distributed by the enemy to keep them ''away' from Mavis, so the obvious conclusion would be to expect tougher resistance the closer you get to Mavis, in which case exhausting herself now just to save a bit of time seems... stupid. We could have got just an awesome battle if Mira had actually followed a sustainable policy and taken out the entire Irene Squad efficiently albeit somewhat slowly, with the climax being an intense victory against Heine and Juliet, yet we would have been comfortable in the knowledge that Mira was holding back for the sake of future battles. Both sides get hype, and no action seems so bloody wasteful.
