^ actually, what you just said would prove the opposite. There is no way that shadow is F. Rogue. Because F Rogue said that the only way to change fate would be to kill Lucy and that fate will happen no matter what. If that was the case, why would he try to change the result of the GMG buy possessing rogue, if he knew that fate couldn't be changed? He also knew that Hisui wouldnt use eclipse unless the result of the GMG was the same way he said it would turn out? That shadow was not future rogue. The person Jellal saw on day 3 wasnt rogue either because he had spikey hair not logn hair. The shadow also had spikey hair.

Gentlemen, we are dealing with severe mindf*ckery from mashima in this arc.
