To be honest, this was me when I wanted to see how this fight goes. Point proven, really. This just proves that Hiro contradicts himself for fuck's sake. This is the "final arc", so why should he give a fuck? He makes money; this is a "money-maker" manga.

Also, bet you guys haven't noticed this but.... might as well point it out. The plot for this manga is roundabout. This is a quote from a fellow user of mine from another site. "Don't know if it ever changed up things, but up to and including Hades, every arc more-or-less boiled down to. Threat > Fairy Tail gets involved > Meet the Threat > Split up into various fights > Natsu fights big bad of the arc > Loses > Gets a power up > Wins."

So yeah.... let that sink in. Also, while I'm at it, might as well post this. Explains and lampshades the entire concept of magic in this series.
