First it's Ikaruga and as FTGM already explained there's a huge power-gap between her and Kagura.

Remember how the unsheathing of Archenemy made a groove through half the city? I havn't seen Ikaruga do anything even remotely like it. Then there's also the matter of Kagura being very proficient with Gravity Magic (even though she neglected to use it in the final confrontation...)

And the problem with Erza is not that she won against Minerva and Azuma at all, it's how she won that sucks.

In both cases she was already beaten but then a surge of cheat-mode Nakama-power came out of nowhere and turned the tide after all. Sure in both cases there are ways to explain it, but it still sucks.

Though I absolutely agree on the part about Lucy. While Mashima doesn't exactly treat her nice, she's been pivotal in many of Fariy Tail's victories. And I also don't understand why people would call her a coward. Sure she's scared often, but she overcomes that fear time and again and despite being weaker than her team-mates still fights the very same enemies.

I'd say she's the bravest one of the main characters (possibly tied with Wendy). The others simply don't feel any fear, so them marching into deaths jaws without hesitation isn't very impressive. And they also think of themselves as the strongest there are and that nothing can beat them.

Lucy on the other hand considers herself weak (even though she isn't) and is often afraid, but still she stands with her friends. While she talks about fleeing on occasion, how often did you see her really run away? Once in the movie, when she was without her keys and weapons, that's how often. And evne then she was still trying to protect Éclair, rather than just getting herself to safety.
