^ this precisely. It's like Mashima is afraid to make the characters look different. When you're 421 chapters into a series I think it's time for a change in our beloved character's appearances and one of the easiest ways to do that is give them a new haircut for christ's sakes.... which he did YAY! then TOOK IT AWAY IN 1 CHAPTER WTF it's like he enjoys trolling us... or hell at least give Natsu some more meat on his bones since he's been "training" for a year. I hope at least someone other than carla, has a noticeable change in personality and/or appearance
