While I agree, I'm starting to hate Erza's fights because she wins all the time... What I don't get is why you keep down-playing Erza. It's been hinted since the beginning Erza is already good enough to be 'wizard saint level'. Before the 7 year gap/ second origin and this 1 year gap, Erza could already shatter a mini island into pieces just from the impact of her clash with the other Erza. So technically speaking Ajeel's tsunami of sand isn't that far fetched from what Erza could do now. Also her strength compared to Laxus or gildarts was never that big, yeah they're definitely stronger, but there really isn't a 'huge gap'. The top 4 wizards saints are strong, but it's people like Gildarts, Laxus and Erza who have the potential to be just as strong; it's not like their strength has been measured against theirs. In fact, I deem Gildarts (which I suspect) as someone as strong or even stronger than God Serena. "And from the beginning of the series the wizard saint title has never really meant much and has only been a title seeing how there are characters who are much stronger than some of these wizard saints but aren't saints themselves like gildarts,laxus,natsu,and other characters." You even explained it yourself... what I don't get why you didn't include Erza >.>. "The only reason erza is portrayed as this super strong unstoppable character is because of hiro's favoritism of her." He's the writer, he can make her as strong as he wants... so that statement really doesn't matter.
