Lol, I'd much rather an irrelevant connection than a connection that serves the purpose of setting up the clusterfuck of nonsense and fuckery that was the Natsu/Gray ordeal. XD Jokes aside, as I mentioned in my review, there's no way to really tell where this plot point is going to go. If it will be relevant or just another random forced connection is entirely dependent on how Mashima handles it. I'm excited for it either way (obviously) and will be cautiously optimistic. :P
