you are saying that as though they never showcased Irene as a witch in the first place but we saw hew with amazing prowess in her enchanting capabilities. I mean she freaking summoned a meteor and reshaped a continent. Her dragon form was only used a trump card. Sure relating her to dragons is unnecessary but enforcing her as a witch to the point of her backstory seems somewhat over-redundant. Either way you could nitpick but at the end of the day Mashima will always know hot to write a killer backstory. He could have pulled it off with the witch thing but he still did a good job with the dragon connection. Thats really all he has now in terms of storytelling in FT; that and transition chapters.
