I didn't really expect anyone to take that point seriously...

In all honesty I think Mashima simply didn't give it any thought, since the giants won't make another appearance in a long time (if ever), so he just stayed with those he already showed earlier in their frozen state, rather than adding new faces.

The rest was just joking around.
