But then again the fairy tail wikia are mostly full of trolls

1) Gajeel vs Tora- one of the best fights in the arc.. The steel power up was logical if you have a brain stem in which I hope you do

Natsu vs Jackal- the main reason Jackal lost was due to Natsu being a living counter to his curse and even so.. Natsu lost the first round and had to resort to LFD mode to put him down.. Afro Happy was bad but that does not have anything to do with Natsu's fight

Gray vs Silver- an emotional and strategical(on Gray's part) battle... Silver's backstory was well written which makes the accusation of him being Deliora wasted and unneeded

Plot Story Character development Edgy/Darker Epic moments

Besides TOH there's not any arc better than this.. That being said the only major flaw that's a big problem is Erza herself.. Even in this a arc Natsu has acted more and more of a character than her.. Things that he has done before he hasn't done yet

1) he hasn't stolen anyone's moment 2) he's lost a couple of times and has needed saving 3) his interactions and emotions after him being freed from Tora's poison make him more likable and a better character 4) his actions actually have consequences

Besides a small few of people like some of you this arc is getting his praise because it's giving the fans what they want/need and it's going against formulas in previous arcs.. Except for Erza which is why she has a lot of haters now compared to pre time skip when she was regarded as one of the best shonen female characters and a role model

Unless anyone can show me a better arc besides this one with the exception of Tower of Heaven and please don't say Tenrou Island either
