 * Ummm, is it really that difficult? Suppose the barrier's order is that MBP be spread in that area to interfere with Wahl's Ethernano oven and that nobody be allowed outside the barrier as long as the MBP are active. But Wahl is allowed to analyze the barrier and the MBP can be neutralized only by a nullifier strong enough to eradicate all MBP in Laxus' body. That set of conditions should work just fine. And it also affects Wahl adversely, so he can't just pummel Laxus to death. This is just one example. I'm sure you and others can think of many others. I don't see the problem.
 * Are you seriously saying that you want Mashima to draw the analysis jig every time Wahl uses a move that dissipates the enemy's attack? I can't say I agree. ( .__.)
 * Laxus has had one year to train and he got information about Yuri from Mavis. I don't find it incredibly unbelievable that they talked more about him at some time, shared some laughs, talked about the similarity of their Magic and, during the 1-year-timeskip, Laxus, who was training really hard, decided to aim for some versatility and learnt some of Yuri's moves. Maybe from documents. Maybe from speaking with Mavis earlier. Who knows. Tbh, this was an instant assumption I made and is so trivial that, imo, it's hardly much to dwell upon. ._./
 * I'm sorry, what? Gajeel basically went all-out Orrrraaaa on Torafuzar and won. Torafuzar had great resistance to physical attacks, but was still beaten by a physical attack. Laxus at least used an attack which does not completely rely on the property that his opponent claims resistance against. Wahl even mentioned that Laxus, despite being afflicted by MBP, could actually defeat him with the attacks he had shown till now if he did not pay the utmost attention to him. Then Laxus, now freed from his affliction, strikes a Wahl who is suffering from an error with an attack which is not completely dependent on the electrical component. I find this acceptable.
