Recent 100YQ Chapter
Pardon my slightly delayed opinion on this lol I don’t want to cloud up this tag with depressing things.
I just have to say that (like many others have said) Lucy dying here would make absolutely no sense; why would the main character (or at least main female character if we’re including Natsu) and narrator of FT die in a typical match-up battle we see in most arcs that has no history behind it? It also just seems like such a sudden unnecessary thing to happen.
I also have to say that I am very sure Lucy did not lose her real arm—or she’ll somehow get it back. The whole thing with Kyria’s illusions and the fact that Hiro likes trolling his fans makes it very hard for me to believe that he would seriously injure Lucy (a character he said was his favorite) in a random battle after the franchise has been going on for over 15 years. It would be such a sudden change in our perception of who Lucy is, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with characters I’ve grown attached to having their physical appearance drastically changed.
More importantly, of ALL the times a character should have been injured in this series (literally Natsu and Erza at least 10 times each), you’re going to choose LUCY as the one to have an arm cut off? If I’m being honest, Natsu and Erza should have many more long-lasting injuries given the amount of stuff they do every arc (need I mention that Natsu was literally impaled in Aldoron?) I’m not saying that it didn’t make sense for them not to be injured because Hiro did give the whole dragon force thing to justify Natsu being okay, but it’s important to remember he can literally do whatever he wants with his characters. If the odds are against the character, he can make a bs reason to leave them unscathed. So having Lucy lose an arm right now would be, for a lack of a better word, tacky. Of course, I wouldn’t love her any less but the whole thing just seems so random to me.
I just wanted Lucy to fight Kyria on her own and win. I find it very strange that Wendy took out that cat boy who was set up to be stronger than Kyria like it was nothing while Lucy is seriously struggling. Why does Hiro always match up Lucy in the worst way possible? It always makes Lucy seem so much weaker than Wendy when she really is not at all. I then reluctantly felt that it would be okay if Laxus helped out or whatever, but if he fully takes over and beats Kyria again the next chapter that would literally be so lame. We’ve already seen Laxus beat her so wtf.
I don’t even want this to be a Nalu moment even though the ship is lagging tremendously. Why does the ship only have to progress when Lucy is hurt and Natsu gets angry that she is? This battle could be another stepping stone to Lucy’s development, and I really hope that it is rather than Laxus or Natsu proving their strength for the ten thousandth time.
