I agree. I don't mind that much with Jellal, but it is what it is. I would say this though. It would seem like NaLu is going to get a huge one in the next arc. Mark my word.
I just find Jellal to be annoying with his self-pity kitten. Honestly, NaLu is the only pairing that remotely interests me in Fairy Tail lol I'll bet something pretty big happens. I'd be willing to say that Natsu, at some point while he's fighting END and Zeref, dies during that fight.
I guess women are tools in manga...
Not in Naruto. None of the women actually loved the men they ended up with, the men were just tools of self-fulfillment. Sakura won her rivalry against Ino (that's all SS is really about), and Hinata used Naruto as a way to make her feel good about herself. Ino got with Sai because he somewhat resembled Sasuke. Everything about the women in Naruto reeks of shallow little girls, so it's really unjust to say that all women in all manga are tools. Naruto just makes it seem that way since it's so popular, and so badly written.
In other mangas like OP, Tokyo Ghoul, Fairy Tail just to name a few, the ladies are deep, fleshed out characters that drive the plot in a significant fashion. Hell, in OP, Luffy wouldn't be able to do anything without Nami. Ichigo is only Ichigo because of Rukia in Bleach.
Naruto is just a piss-poor example of what women aren't to suit the needs of those that want them to be that way (otaku's); weak, submissive, and downright delusional when it comes to what love really is, to the point that they become selfish and depraved when looking at someone they don't actually love, because of their wrong, preconceived notions.
Don't let Naruto, Kishi, and SP distort how women are in manga with authors who actually know how to write them.
Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to rant or anything XD
Ok, thx! I'll keep that in mind with that arc. I'll skip it if it gets boring.
Imao, I'm a NaLu shipper, and barely got into FT.
Oh yeah, heard about that. She's ridiculously strong.
But I guess I like Badass girls the most.
Ironically, one of my brother's favorite characters is Mystogan, that Edolas version of Jellal XD
I loved Mystogan! I thought he was excellent! I hate the other Jellal though.
