@Nick I think Prime has said that all that needs to be said for your clothing comment.

As far as your question goes, I didn't need to "look for arguments." If you've noticed, my arguments were just references to Mashima's habits and things I know that he's done before. But to answer the question, no, I did not jump to conclusions. I realized what Mashima was doing from the second I saw Erza and Kyouka's scene last chapter, but it wasn't just because she was, quite pointlessly, naked. Mashima's track record with inappropriate fanservice played a large part. And my suspicions were quickly confirmed when the utterly useless tentacle monster showed up this chapter. I get that you think people just jumped to conclusions, but in your, in my opinion, over-analyzation of the situation, I think you ignored some obvious red flags.

@B2Guy Actually, there's a big problem with that theory. The Nine Demon Gates, from what we can tell from Tempesta, know nothing about Fairy Tail. And even if the former Chairman did by some chance describe Mira and Erza's powers to them, there still would be no reason to strip Erza naked because she can't use any form of Magic while she's in the chains.
