Lol, you "expected" me to say that because it's what I've already said several times before, any and everytime we have this discussion. And unlike most people on this site, I'm not so blind as to let my feelings for a character cloud my judgement of their strength. Mashima has been pretty consistent with the main characters' strength relative to one another throughout the series. I seriously doubt that's changed.
