From Basebreaking Character section about Erza Scarlet in TvTropes: ''Erza, despite being all-around badass who deliciously subverts the Straight Man (hence why she has fans), is now the subject of some pretty heavy backlash. Her overall character is still praised by many as one of the best females in shounen history, but her fights have come under heavy scorn. Like Natsu, she rarely loses, and not only also constantly gives friendship speeches, but has become excessively preachy to her enemies for not following The Power of Friendship. Depending on your point of view, this reaches a peak at the end of the Grand Magic Games arc, where she suddenly blocks a sword that cut down an entire city and brought up another last-second Ass Pull to overcome Minerva. Her infamous Ass Pull against Kyouka in their final battle, widely regarded as one of the worst moments in the entire series, hasn't done her any favors either. The controversy only intensified after the reveal of her lineage. She is the daughter of Irene Belserion of the Spriggan 12, also known as the First Dragon Slayer. Yet, over the course of 513 chapters, not once has it been hinted she had any connection to the dragons. Many viewed it as a quick, lazy plug-in by the author to connect Erza to the dragons plot-line, though there are arguments on exactly how this affects her as a whole. You now have people seeing Erza as either one of the best characters in the series whose fights are filled awesome and has some of the best depths to her personality, or she's the series' ultimate Mary Sue and epitome of everything wrong with Fairy Tail as a whole.''
