User blog comment:R. Lawton/How strong are some the GMG characters in comparison to Fairy Tail/@comment-3290324-20130910235608

I'm going to have to point out a fallacy in your logic. It's really hard to get across what I'm trying to say, but bear with me. If this were in real life, then yes, you'd have a point. But this is a manga. Meaning that logic changes to fit the situation. If time flowed correctly, and in X791, Lucy was 25 years old like she was supposed to - then Yukino would've been 25 as well. The only reason the other participants of the GMG were as young as they were was because Mashima didn't want a bunch of old farts facing the Tenrou Team. If this tournament happened in X784, I guarantee you we'd still have all the same characters and they'd be the same ages. So, while you do "technically" have a point. You're forgetting that logic can't really be readily applied to manga.

Though, if we're going by your logic, I agree with all of your statements besides Laxus's battle and Erza's. Laxus didn't get Second Origin released, and even if he did, I think he's still stronger than Orga. Also, Erza never got her Second Origin released. The technique didn't work on her for some reason. I think she would've still beaten Minerva, but I agree, I think Kagura would've won.
