Fairy Tail S2 Ep. 12

Hmm...Iron Shadow Garjeel eh...

Natsu has used his Thunder Fire powers a couple times since he got them right? So they're permanent? I wonder if the same is going to be true of Garjeel.


I'm a little confused as to how Rogue and Sting got their powers. They supposedly have Lacrimas AND were taught slaying by dragons. But Rogue seemingly learned to be a Dragon Slayer after Garjeel left the Phantom Lords...which is well after the dragons had disappeared. So where did Rogue and Sting find these dragons they supposedly killed?

Wouldn't it be more likely Rogue was looking up to Gajeel already before he joined the Phantim Lords? Then during his time in the semi-dark guild Rogue looked up to him all the more (while getting his own training from a dragon)?

Although I call bullshit on those two killing their dragons. Rogue and Sting are weaker than Natsu and Gajeel. We got a taste of a dragon's power with Acnologia. There's no way those two could have beaten their masters. Unless their dragons wanted to get killed, in which case it would be beyond pitiful for them to brag about it. Maybe they are just under an illusion they killed their dragons. Who knows, maybe their whole training by dragons was an illusion. We have seen better people fall for that, such as Jellal.

Well, no. Just like Wendy and Natsu, Garjeel's dragon disappears on the same day when he was a little kid. Rogue wouldn't have been looking up to Garjeel before then, and couldn't have become a Dragon Slayer afterwards.

Unless Sting and Rogue somehow found dragons that somehow didn't disappear along with the rest of them, there's no way they could have been taught dragon slaying from real dragons.

Also rememeber that Garjeel and Natsu and Wendy got stopped in time for 7 years. So as young as they are now, Sting and Rogue probably weren't even born yet on the day the dragon's disappeared.

Arcnologia is also, like, the MOST powerful dragon(and not even really a dragon), so I don't think he's a good judge of the power of your average dragon.

Not per se, but we do know all the toughest Fairy Tail members together were more or less helpless against Acnologia. So, even if an average dragon had only a tenth of Acnologia's power, Sting & Rogue back then wouldn't have stood any chance. That's why I'm confident in saying that there's no way they could have killed their dragon masters in a fair fight.
