That's a huge problem I have with this manga is the forced familial connections. The only one that made sense was Natsu and Zeref but most of the other one's have been very forced especially in this arc. This arc has been filled with family connections and it has become beyond ridiculous. I didn't really mind Irene coming out of nowhere at first because I originally believed that it would just be some small subplot to give erza a little relevancy and a power up which I wasn't too upset with at first but now she has been forced into the main plot being the queen of dragons which does not make much sense and my biggest fear from all of this is that it will lead to Erza having some bs connection with Acnologia and having a huge role against him which should not happen at all. The only ones who should have a role against him is the dragonslayers since this has been foreshadowed since the beginning and everyone else should just have a small support role against him but now since Mashima loves Erza so much and he feels that he can't just leave her out like that so he's going to make her have a huge role and give her some power up so she will be able to fight Acnologia. That's my problem with this whole situation is the forced connection to the dragons and to Acnologia. If Hiro wanted Erza to have a role in all of this than he should have set this up a long time ago instead of introducing this when we're over 500 chapters into the manga.
