Rambling about Fairies - Manga Chapter 193
Knightwalker's best in her arsenal being Ravelt is very ironic considering its role in Rave Master. It's quite literally about bonds, the whole representation of the nakamaship and love cultured through the entire story of Rave Master is represented by Ravelt, the sword that was forged just for Haru. And in Fairy Tail, it cameos as the best spear for the woman that just shot to kill Lily, one of her closest comrades, and never even acknowledged it afterward.
And you know, maybe that's the point. Her greatest blade is her pride in the authority and influence of Edolas' Royal Kingdom, so of course, the greatest spear formed by the finest bladesmith is her ultimate.
But it wasn't made for her, it represents nothing to her but wealth and influence. It is Ravelt, but without the love and hardship the Rave Master's cast went through to finally achieve it.
It's empty of any story and true importance, but she doesn't know that. It's just something she flaunts pridefully, with a smug grin.
In contrast, Armadura Fairy is an armour she's never taken out before. She wears it with a face locked stern, wearing it with her pride and humility as Titania, as a protector of the fairies.
It's gallant, girly, and almost looks sweet. It doesn't have the magical embellishments of Black Wing, Heavens Wheel, or anything-- it's also one of the less showy of her armours, cape aside. This is an armour that simply represents her heart as a member of Fairy Tail, and everything Fairy Tail means to her.
She doesn't even affirm that it's her strongest. And I just realized that it probably isn't. It probably wasn't meant to represent her strongest at all.
Right now, Scarlet isn't contesting strength. If she wanted greater attack, she'd use Clear Heart Armour and take out Benizakura for an iai match to the death like in TOH. But right now, she isn't fighting over which Erza is the strongest-- right now, she's fighting over ideologies.
They're disagreeing, not over who is more powerful, or whose magic is better-- they're disagreeing over the fact that they've raised their weapons against what each other held dear. It's a battle of pride.
That's why Scarlet is not saying that Fairy Armour is her strongest at all. Scarlet is fighting for all purposes to express her love for Fairy Tail, and Knightwalker simply misinterpreted it. because to Knightwalker, her loyalty to the Royalty is very much equivalent to power and prestige. While Scarlet is in Fairy Tail, not because it's the most powerful or well-known guild in the nation, but simply because it's the place that accepted her into their family, and it's her home.
That's what Armadura Fairy represents. Not power, but resolve. And Knightwalker's resolve was an empty shell in contrast to it.
