User blog comment:B214/Jellal and OPed characters should appear less/@comment-24467372-20140903212029/@comment-1359322-20140904013044

Regarding Jellal vs Mard, i won't say it's definitely a no on that nor will i say Jellal will definitely end up a tool for Natsu/E.N.D. hype.

But even so i still don't agree on Jellal appearing for 2 reason. First, if he appears he'll bring along Meredy and OS, and with 3 (1 still inactive so 2 for now) remaining members of Tartarus that can actually fight back so unless if we want a Minerva no.2, 3, 4 and so on just for the sake of seeing them again then i'll just say sorry but no thanks. Since they'll just be standing there or sitting there doing nothing which will be like a waste of space.

Second, in FT, final bosses are always taken down by FT so with Mard and Kyouka out of the picture suddenly having a group of character come and do nothing would be frankly meaningless so Mashima will have them do something but what will it be. Tracing back to Mashima's way of setting up the final boss battles, we can easily know Mashima's way of setting up the final boss, they are always beaten by FT members. There have been three instances where none FT members joined in the fight against the final bosses, Jellal in OS arc, Laxus in Tenrou arc and Atlas Flame in the Eclipse. And all three had a freaking similarity, they served as Natsu's power-up tool. So i'll still say no to that again cause the last thing we need is a character or characters serving as a power-up tool.
