I've been rewatching some select parts of fairy tail and colleen clinkenbeard and rob mccollum perform so beautifully during the nirvana arc, i rly felt moved
colleen perfectly delivers erza's characteristic strength and tenderness while rob does a great job of portraying a newly-revived jellal's desperation and brokenness upon hearing of his previous crimes. Because jellal has amnesia, he has to portray him as a different character essentially.
I love hearing cc transition from depicting erza's might to the deep fondness she has for jellal that she can't let go of. Particularly, her delivery of erza's initial confrontation of jellal right when he activates nirvana. He was crying profusely and she took a step toward him, so he reacted defensively by blasting her. She shouted at him so strongly and I was so struck by it...["alright well then you come to me!...if you even dare to forget the pain you've caused, I'll strike my sword through your heart and engrave it there!"]( or smth like that.)
And then the way she yells his name after he sets the self-destruct spell and even at the tail end of the arc when she's reminiscing on her history with him.
I honestly just like the way that various characters say jellal's name throughout the arc lol. It's always drawn out, either with contempt, distrust, or an air of sadness (i.e when Natsu sees him during the final battle, when Wendy/happy/lucy think ab him, when erza cries later on).
Rob doesn't return to jellal's early-series smugness until he tries to trick zero into thinking he's on his side, and he's hardly as stoic as jellal will later become. He leans more timid, regretful.
anyway i love them both they're so great 🙏 I watched the show literally 10+ years ago when I was a preteen and as a forever jerza lover ❤️ I have an emotional attachment to the two characters and their actors specifically lol I think I always will :)
