User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 448: Fight the Power! Review and Commentary/@comment-24264679-20150817160616

I don't get why people want other guilds to join it makes no sense. The only guilds worth anything is Lamia scale, Mermaid heel and ST. Within those guilds only 1-2 mates actually seem relevant enough to help.


 * In Mermaid heel only person that seems strong enough to be that useful in battle is Kagura in which she still pales in comparison to Ezra who overpowered her using her Tenrou island power a year ago. Even if we assume Kagura got stronger she at most would be at SO Ezra level in which Current Ezra should have surpassed that. So if Ezra is in battle with a Spriggan 12 member and Maura tries to join in she would be like Lissana ,during Tenrou arc when Mirajane fought Azuma, a liability. Bacchus is a non factor same with BP.

My thing is why add alot of characters who are weaker then Fairy Tail in the battle. What purpose do the serve? First off they are taking up space that could actually be used to make a good fight happen. I could understand other guilds helping out if they were on the same level or stronger then Fairy Tail but they are the opposite and weaker. Most of the guilds are drastically weaker then Fairy Tail. These other guilds power isn't strong enough to make them relevant enough to actually be included in this arc.

In mermaid heel all you have is Kagura, in Lamia scale the only real relevant one power wise would have been Jura but he is on the council now. In Sabortooth the only relevant one is Minerva maybe. Sting and Rogue got their butts kicked by Base Nastu while they were in DF, Orga was one shorted by someone on Jura's level in which the spriggan members excel that level and dudes attack power isn't on that level.

Yes I do factor in them training but I seriously doubt they improved that drastically in a year. Only reason FT has improved that drastically is because of Powerups during or prior to the Torturous arc.

Lucy: Got the idea of star dress during the Torturous arc and the dress also increases her magical power when used. Thus at this point Lucy can use Sand magic, Water magic, master marksmen, Super strength, Wool magic, Copy magic, light magic, etch.

Wendy: Learned DF from which she achieved during the Torturous arc.

Gray: Powered up by his fathers Devil slayer magic.

Natsu: Working from Igneel flames, Atlas flames, God Flames, Lightning, and the possibility of END.

Ezra: Working from armor on the level of her Nakagami armor.

Point being that other guilds powers up will pale on comparison to Fairy Tail. Sting and Rogue power up will fail in comparison to Natsu's and Gajeel given s year ago they were weaker then both in base. They also don't have duel elements. Chelia's power up will pale on comparison to Wendy's dragon force. Yukino power will pale in comparison to Lucy's star dress. Minerva and Kagura will pale in comparison to Ezra's armor similar to Nakagami. Lyon power will pale in comparison to Gray's devil slayer magic. Organ's lightning pales in comparison to Lexus lightning.
