"Literally can be used in a mental sense as well. So no. "

No... no it can't. I really can't. The whole point of the word is to express that something actually happened in the most basic and direct meaning of the other word(s). The very reason why the word "literally" exists is to avoid such misunderstandings due to other possible inerpretations. Literally means exactly... not "like", not "similar", not "metaphorical", not "also"... it means precisely and exactly and nothing else.

If you don't believe me, pick up a dictionary and check for yourself. I'm not being rethorical or cynical or anything here. Seriously. Check it and see for yourself!

Lucy not once (including this scene) showed any sign of a photographic or perfect memory. And it is not necessary to explain this scene either, so why are you so sure she has a perfect, photographic memory?

Apart from this one scene, where is even the smallest shred of evidence?

Wizards are geniuses and experts in concentration? Really? Geniusses like Gildarts who get's so distracted he walks through buildings... Geniuses like Toby Horhorta who falls for the most simple tricks and doesn't even realize he has a sock on a string around his neck... Geniusus like Natsu... Geniuses like Happy who get's easily distracted by fish among other things...

So how many milliseconds of thought did you put into that argument before writing it down?

Oh I agree that it's very simple and very logical. And the simple and logical conclusion is that you are wrong. The scene makes perfect sense without Lucy having the mental processing capacity of an entire group of geniusses and a higher processing speed than a cluster of quantum computers just for this one scene and then never again. It only get's complicated and unrealistic once your "ideas" get thrown into the mix along with your inability to acknowledge that you are wrong.

But I love how you just basically said that as long as it's fiction, everything - no matter how stupid - becomes logical. Erza can move despite all her bones except her one arm being broken? Oh, it's fiction and magic so it's logical!
