Mashima missed a chance to add in some good comedy with the Strauss fight.

He could have Elfman seemingly defeated and utterly sure of his victory, instead of fighting Lisanna, Ajeel starts to flirt with her, trying to convince her to switch sides and become his girlfriend.

And when he takes her hand, Elfman stands up with a roar shouting that he should get his hands off of his sister and beats him up before Ajeel can react.

BS? Sure, but at least it'd have been funny and way better than off-screening the fight.
