User blog comment:B214/Jellal and OPed characters should appear less/@comment-24467372-20140903212029

At first when I read the title of the blog,I got mad. But then I actually read it and calmed down :D

To answer your question.(Regarding Jellal anyway.)

I just think Mashima was saving Jellal's fights as a good character when compared to Gajeel/Laxus's fights as a good character after turning good.

Taking down the Oracion Seis single handedly and doing so while not even using his abilities to it's fullest is incredibly impressive.

That part where Jellal bested the OS in their own fields of magic while not even using his own magic made him look beast. He dodged Racer's attacks with agility alone,stopped Cobra's poison punch with ease and sent him crashing towards Racer and destroyed Angel's magic attack just by slapping them away.

And when their trump card,Midnight's illusion got out of the way....He two-shotted them.

And I don't see him as a tool to hype Natsu/E.N.D in any way. Simply because Jellal has yet to fight someone on his level or slightly above in a one-on-one fight while going all out.

I always assumed Jellal and Laxus had a similar set of opponents.

Laxus had Raven Tail as a group. Jellal had Oracion Seis as a group. Laxus had Jura as his "surpassing my limits" opponent. Jellal has yet to fight one.

If Jellal appears once again this arc to fight someone,it will most likely be against Mard Geer(Yes,I'm still believing that guy is gonna stomp the twins) or not at all.

If he doesn't appear,I'm sure Mashima can find a suitable opponent for him. And we all know he likes to give Jelly screen-time. The dude was the first character ever introduced in this manga and he still has a prominent role and sub-plots regarding him.
