Ohh come on don't be so harsh on Erza.I don't like either but I have to give her some credits for that.After all she is Mashima's favourite character (at least that's the only reasonable explanation for all the epic/badass/heroic etc stuff she does). But I agree Laxus could have pulled it off the same way.Now that I mention it he wouldn't even get hurt like Erza.
