Poor Mashima... Stuck for the MVP this time around. Nobody had much of an impact in the manga this year, after all. Maybe, as a nod to the anime, he'll give the prize to Igneel?

Would be nice if we could include the MVP thing in char trivia. Like saying that Mashima considered Ultear to be the MVP for '13 (obviously the main reason I like this idea :3), Aquarius for '14 and so on. \( ^_^)/
