@Misk: I completely agree about FT's inconsistency, but... if Gray does prove to be stronger, then it means that he nonchalantly allowed the TGT to get taken out and Laxus face death... I'd rather he be weak than be a jerk. .-.

Plus, Mashima has taken away any relevance Gray had to plot. And steadily dehyping him. Confirming his weakness and then killing him off could actually turn out to be a good move. ._./

@Nick: Oh, yeah, can't forget Plotzus. Thankfully, we don't see much of him. /o/
