Yes. In this case, Erza will be destroyed from the torture, but Jellal's safety will grant her the strength she needs later to fight on. Jellal's death will NOT give her strength (fans seem to think it will)... it will give her rage. And in FT, we know one of the lessons is about what strength is... so Erza having strength through rage is not a theme I think Mashima will show.

And I didn't see your posts before I posted mine... >__>
