@TGS:
 * 1) From this, we can tell that the 'toxins' Torafusa is talking about is carbon. It was meant as a setup for the steel thing, Gajeel's body absorbs the 'toxins', but they end up powering him up instead. Fe + C and all. If Mashima had not made Levy say that statement, had he implied that there are other toxins in the water besides carbon, it'd have been fine. But everything went on the side of the heroes. Because it's Carbon, they can wake up all healthy and fine. Good enough. Not good enough is the fact that they ever fainted to being with. If there are other toxins, the group shouldn't be as perky as shown after the battle.
 * 2) Eat first, explode later. Effect before cause? I'm not throwing around 'logicfail' unnecessarily here ... And Jackal was above their level? The recent chapters prove otherwise. Heck, if Natsu can eat the explosion, why can't Wendy?! After all, sound, shockwaves, etc. are just expanding air, right? And deprive the flames of oxygen and they die out. Seriously, my dear Wendy is underutilized. After all, as you said, there is more to explosions than pure fire ... Basically, Lucy and Wendy got downgraded because Natsu was around.
 * 3) Ummm, you were the one who said 'the people in this wikia', so I just gave an answer considering that. Most people here neither liked the way Gray got the powerup, nor Silver's backstory. Just look at the reviews of those chapters. Narrow? Again, you were the one talking about this site, so I gave my answer accordingly ...
 * 4) I already mentioned that point 4 is completely personal opinion. There's no logic there.
 * 5) Favourite arc, etc. is always personal opinion. No comments there. You thought TOH was the peak, I don't. Doesn't mean I hate it; I actually enjoyed it too.

@Wrath: ... But Mashima started it with all his 'Fe + C' stuff, etc. It just got me fired up to go deeper with the Science! Blame him, not me! And, come on, people do tend to do that. Look at the people yelling at the recent battle, 'she should feel no pain if she has no tactile sense'. XD More to the point ... "But, from Levy's statements, the only thing poisonous in the water is the carbon, which is supposed to be ... not really poisonous. Definitely not, "Die within 5 minutes" poisonous. Heck, you'd have more time to die from lack of breath than from swallowing the carbon. That's the disappointment." Even with the radioactive stuff, you'd still take a day, so ... Most ... infuriating part is that the poison was misused that it caused the heroes to faint, the only purpose it served was to power up Gajeel. It was as if Torafusa got trolled. ... Not to mention that the condition of the others after the battle shows that the poison wasn't much to be affected by. ... Though that doesn't count for much. Mashima is quite inconsistent. Look at what happened to Laxus when he got infected by some of the Magical Barrier Particles in Tempesta, look at Juvia now, though she has been infected by all the MBP in Keith. ... Tempesta has tonnes more than Keith? ... meh, doesn't sound too well. >.>

@anon: I know, but when the author himself starts applying science, I can't help but try to apply it to the whole battle.
