"Erza was already tied up in anti-Magic cuffs so I see relatively little danger of her requipping an armor to spare herself the pain."

Okay that makes absolutely no sense. If she's already tied in anti-magic cuffs, she can't requip. The same goes for her requipping while being unconscious.

So are you suggesting that Kyouka should allow Erza to use her magic?

And I strongly disagree that stripping Erza for the torture is making Mashima a bad writer. All the other fanservice scenes and the tentable monster, maybe, but not this particular stripping. As history shows, torture victims in reality were stripped more of then not. Sure not all were, but the majority. Why? Because it's at least convenient and in some cases even effective in damaging the victims resolve.

So here we have a measure that may help, requires minimal additional effort or none at all and has no risk of backfiring, which makes it only natural and logical to go with it. And far from a reason to call Mashima a bad writer.

I don't really understand why you even argue so vehemently against her being naked while tortured.

If it's due to morality, then you should be more concerned about there being torture in the first place.

If it's for youth protection, the same thing applies.

So what is it that ticks you off that much about it?
