 * C'mon Rai. She wasn't able to even see Ikaruga's attack coming. Then she suddenly was able to not only see it coming, but was also able to attack her. How exactly did her brain process become so much faster by shedding armour?
 * Tbh ... what exactly is this point about? I'm pretty sure I've never told anybody not to hate Natsu or not to fangasm over Erza ... *scrolls up* Ah, her battles. So ... atm, we're talking about her battles, not her character as a whole.
 * And it's not unbelievable that an Artificial Eye can not only recognize that the rays of light passing through it have been affected by Magic at some point (in a world filled with Magic, mind you), but can also rearrange those rays into their original form to give the user the correct image? The Ur's consciousness thing and Erza's eye thing were built up. There is no nakama bullshit there. A bit of leeway is fine. The sixth sense thing was nakama BS through and through. Its levels above overlookable(?) logicfails such as a character picking up a huge horn through sheer strength.
 * Just look at her expression before Gray started saying anything there. She was pretty unstable already. Then came Gray's words about the similarity between Ur and Ultear, which enraged Ultear but were definitely not directed at her. And they were already falling into the sea before Gray asked what had happened to her. Those words just triggered a flashback, which did nothing to help Gray's cause. If anything, it just encouraged Ultear to attack Gray even more furiously. And she was positively owning Gray. Without the Ur thing, she would have won. Gray's words did nothing for him. Compare this to the Minerva situation. Erza would have won either way, but it was her words that made Minerva see the light.
