I feel bad for Mashima...he just can't win. He creates villains that that defeated by powerups, which people hate on, and he creates villains that torture other people (which we all state we want more of), that people hate on. Poor bastard can't win.

Tristan, you contradict yourself. You say you like villains who torture, but you're also saying that you don't like it when a specific type of character is tortured. It's all or nothing in manga. Leave none untortured, I say.
