Granted and the flashback ends but the cost is high: having to remember naruto sadness and sorrow flashbacks. Hopefully you'll forget and it will be as if it had never happened.
I wish the new street fighter movie didnt suck, Street Fighter Assassin's Fist, Street Fighter V and Street Fighter with JCVD and Ming Na Wen still best of franchise.
What are you basing her being 'close' to them on and what are you basing her not being equal to them on, then?
Because if we have enough to say she's 'close' then we need something crucial to make the distinction 'but not equal to them'.
Why would Mashima make her close but not equal to her childhood rival, love interest and fellow S class mages?
We can't argue feats anymore since her latest feat has her injuring 2 Calamity Bloods simultaneously and saving Laxus himself in the process; we have her tanking the same moves as Laxus side by side and being equally injured. We also can't say she can match their peak but has stamina issues because Alegria which drained a lot of power is being used casually. We can argue Mashima talking about Erza being the strongest woman but then there is the issue of him also saying the original scaling stands and strongest title failing to block someone from being a rival to the strongest in these types of series (I recall a naruto manga intro stating Naruto is the strongest ninja in the leaf and then Sasuke's saying he is the only ninja who can match Naruto, for example).
There is also the case: Erza and Laxus are considered equals/considered more or less equal by Mashima but we saw her fall first and get up last vs Laxus who carried her around and zapped fodder. Coversely, Erza vs Erza had them falling the same time and breaking their peak gear simultaneously against one another.
So are we saying Mira would do worse than that vs either one of them, hypothetically?
Despite what people think I personally feel that, without Macro or other hax working, Mira vs Laxus would end probably like Erza vs Laxus because despite it being a virtual tie, Laxus came out a smidge better. Laxus vs Jura, spriggan and Kirin being labeled the strongest always had him look a little bit better than Erza without POF backing her and of course Laxus vs Erza itself. This also helped Jellal in the past given his feats against Jura, spriggan etc.

On a side note I just noticed we have instances of Erza matching Laxus' attack and Mira matching Laxus' defense in 100 years quest.
Other side note: Jellal's bind snake and Mira's macro give them hax advantages against Erza, Laxus and even Gildarts, funny enough.
LotL appeared way before Lancelot as a cheat code to selectively replenish DK Zel even though the sins were fighting him on the same ground. The the Lake suddenly absorbed nemesis to save the land. Then for some unknown reasons, she decided she must abduct people and kill them within her own dimension. Them appeared the one who drank it all! And now she is in love with him praising him like crazy. Doesn't listen to Cath. Has an elfish appearance without an explanation. But her bottom part is an amalgamation of horrifying sea creatures. Thanks to her, Lancelot's can use one single technique indefinitely because the charger is plugged in!
There could be alternatives, she could be less of a cheat code, and more of a character worthy of her title as the priestess of Chaos. I expected too much from her, but she turned out to be a monstrosity with an anthropomorphic appendage. Another shallow character with a forced relationship with Lancelot.
I don't care about the exact details of how Lancelot's power is influenced by LotL and which part of his abilities are from him. I just see how another waste of a great potential is damaging Lancelot's character. I just started to believe that 4KotA may be a better story without these crazy brainless idiots.
So, Maomao is from a prestigious family? Is this not common knowledge then? Because she isn't really treated like this. And apparently everyone knows that Jinshi is the emperor's brother. He was with Ah Duo at the end, right? Gyokuyou is now the empress. I guess something like this isn't reversible, unless she dies...
This time Maomao has to deal with the threat of a locust/grasshopper plague?
Good episode. Good EP, meh ED.

Maomao is hard to get. Surely she can't be that dense? Then again, Jinshi feels like a man with the mind of a child when he is trying. Asking the woman you are interested in to sing you a lullaby is kinda cringe.
With Xiaolan and Chou-u, Maomao is pretty much a big sister now.

I guess Maomao could become Granny's successor once the latter dies...
I thought Basen was married for some reason, Lihaku better hurry up .
It's cute to see that Maomao wants an apprentice but Chou-u clearly has the talent to become an artist.
