User blog comment:TheCarrotSaysYumYum/Why Lisanna is Fairy Tail's worst character~/@comment-3125914-20140109142055

I actually agree with everything you said about Lisanna. She was ok as a dead character, but once she was brought back to life she became boring. I don't really hate her though. At least for now.

As for my least favorite character, well, I'm pretty sure I have the most unpopular opinion and many will disagree. Still, this won't change the fact that I don't like Juvia. That's not because she isn't useful, it's because of her fangirling and cheesy fantasies when it comes to Gray. Many would say that this is also a source of comedy, but it's not even funny anymore.

When she was introduced in the Phantom Lord Arc, I thought that she might be an interesting character. I loved the idea of an apparently gloomy girl who was shunned by others. But when Gray appeared to fight her, I was utterly disappointed. The first thing she could say was "I understand. Juvia has lost" while admiring his physical appearance. Really...is that supposed to be the reaction of one of the elite mages in one of the strongest guilds around when facing a mage from the rival guild? Even if she fell in love at first sight, that was completely stupid and it just showed me that Juvia has no pride or dignancy. If that didn't happen and she just went on to fight Gray, thinking from the very beginning that he is just like any other person who shunned her, then things would have been better, at least in my opinion. And, if Mashima really wanted to include the crush thing, it wouldn't have been a problem if Juvia developed feelings for him after she was defeated, after understanding Gray's point of view and the whole nakama concept. Also, I would have prefered a silent crush rather than her exaggerated reactions.

At the beginning of the Tower of Heaven Arc she starts stalking Gray and wants to join the guild only because he is there -_- Instead of that, I was thinking she could have visited the guild building in order to join because she felt inspired by their way of thinking and their unity, and also thank Gray for everything, except that she is too shy to even enter or talk with somebody. Reaching the conclusion that she will end up doing nothing is she continues like this, Juvia decides to go an a little vacation to calm herself down and lift her spirit. And coincidentally, she chooses the Akane Resort, where Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Gray went. She decides that it's better to talk with them firstly and attempts to do so at the Casino. However, they are surprised by the attack of Erza's old friends. Of course, she gets caught in the action and tries to help everyone, but Erza gets kidnapped. Then, she offers to help with her rescue since she wants to earn everyone's trust. Also, I can imagine her being somewhat jealous towards Lucy, not because of the whole Gray thing, but maybe because during the Phantom Lord Arc everyone was so protective and caring towards her. Also, the reason Juvia kidnapped her at that time was because of her father's request. Seeing how Lucy is loved by everyone, while she is treated horrible might have caused her to think why she can't be like that. Of course, this issue gets solved during the fight with Vidaldus Taka.

At the beginning of the Fighting Festival Arc, she would finally get the courage to ask for membership in the Fairy Tail guild. Her change in hairstyle and outfit symbolize that she wants to make a major change in her life, trying to make friends and so on. Actually, I have no issues with her role in this arc. It's basically her trying to get accepted by everyone in the guild and also her trying to protect them as their new nakama.

After the Edolas Arc, she goes back to her old image because Happy comments that this might be the reason why EdoGray has a crush on EdoJuvia. I find this really really stupid. I think Juvia should have stayed like that.

During the Tenrou Island Arc, it's ok if she wanted to be Gray's partner due to the her having a crush on him, but I didn't like that she wanted to withdraw from the trial because she was selected. She got the chance to be one of the 8 who could become an S-Class mage. I would have liked it more if she actually thought that it was a wonderful thing. Also, by competing against Gray, she could show him what a wonderful mage she is. Moreover, Lisanna was nice enough to offer as her partner, yet she started to think that she wants Gray's affection >_> Really, Juvia worked so hard on proving that everyone in the guild can trust her and that she cares for them, yet she thinks like that of Lisanna instead of appreciating her help. She might not be the best partner, but I didn't see any sign of teamwork between them. Instead of becoming all paranoic about it, why didn't shy try harder and actually cooperate with her when fighting Erza? She might have lost this way as well, but the fight could have been more entertaining.

As for her fight with Meredy, Juvia didn't even try at the beginning. She should have told Erza from the very beginning that she will take care of things and fight Meredy seriously from the very beginning, for the guild who accepted her. The "Gray power-up" could also be included afterwards since Meredy was a tough opponent and she could have cornered Juvia. her speech about living for the ones she loves would have been more effective if she also had everyone else in mind besides Gray.

Later, Gray tells her to follow Meredy who was carrying Zeref and she does that awkward movement with her eyes turned to hearts -_-''' I didn't find it funny at all. It was completely unfit for that serious atmosphere. Juvia could have tried her best when chasing Meredy, but not because Gray told her to do so, but because she herself knew that it was the best thing to do. Also, that punishment request was just horrible. The apology was enough in my opinion. Also, with Gray telling her that it was alright and she tried her best despite being badly injured.

During the first event of the Grand Magic Games, all she did was chase after Gray, without even trying to earn at least a point for her team and also getting in his way. Was it too much to leave him alone for a bot and actually think about the team? Also, she offered to participate because Gray did that too. I see no problem in that, but she could have at least get motivated by his presence there and do something for the sake of the guild she loves so much. She could have done that and still fail due to being surprised by other guilds' strength. Also, instead of using her crazy imagination when she heard that Gray and Lucy weren't around, Juvia should have been with them, reflecting on her bad performance and then try to cheer up and join the part with them.

Her fight with Chelia in the last event was just a bad joke. I wanted them to fight seriously like everyone else. At the end of the arc she fools around even more without even realizing that because of her Gray died. Well, thanks to Ultear, he was saved, but she could have at least realized that he was in great danger because of her carelessness. Also, she doesn't even try to understand him.

Well, that's pretty much everything. the Tartarus Arc is still on-going so I have nothing to say about it at this point.
