In other news, I think I've figured out the other reason I'm so pissed off about the 9DGs in general.

I realised looking back that I really appreciate all of the fights from the Tenrou Island arc. I thought about it and realised this is because many of the 7 Kin took out an FT member before they themselves were taken out, and, if they were taken out, it was usually on their own accord/they were beaten by many people. See:

Azuma: Took out Magic Council -> Took out Mira -> Took out Erza -> Fell to Erza Ultear: Took out Zeref -> Tie with Natsu -> Gives up against Gray Meredy: Forced Erza to retreat -> Gives up against Juvia Caprico: Forces Cana, Gray and Lucy to retreat -> Helps Loke to defeat Zoldeo who is possessing him, so it's more like a give up ^__^" Kain: Falls to Lucy & Natsu, but was more like the joke bad guy anyways Zancrow: Falls to Natsu and Makarov teaming him Rustyrose: Takes out Elfman and Evergreen -> Falls to a combination of Freed, Bickslow, Elfman, Levy, Lisanna and Pantherlily (6 people, come on!) Hades: Takes out Makarov -> Takes out Team Natsu -> Takes out Laxus -> Takes out LFD Natsu -> Falls to Team Natsu after they power up and he powers down. Badass.

Now, the 9DGs: Ezel: Falls to Wendy Sayla: Falls to Mira/Elfman Franmalth: Falls to Natsu and Lucy(?) Silver: TBA Jackal: Takes out Council (does this count? XD) Falls to Natsu Torafusa: TBA Keith: TBA Kyouka: TBA

The only successful 9DG in my eyes so far was Tempesta, cause he took out Freed, Bickslow, Ever and Laxus before he fell, and now he's back *gives a congratulatory clap to the ONLY 9DG to achieve something proper*

But, you see? Comparatively the 9DGs in this sense just are not achieving much at all before they fall/ are taken out by 1 FT Mage. I guess this is what's irking me. I know the good guys win, so I don't expect different outcomes, but the 7 Kin in this sense were so much better to me :/ Just my view of it~
