Fairy Tail Ep. 099

[Kraco]

I know Cana is most likely going to win this whole thing because of her 'losing streak backstory', but it's still total BS if she wins and gets the same rank as Gildartz and Erza (and Mirajane i think?)

What BS? Fairy Tail is, like they have said many times (except for Laxus) one happy dango daikazoku. The only official use for the whole S rank is to limit certain lethal missions out of the hands of people who would likely die trying. It certainly doesn't mean that once you are S rank, you are automatically as powerful as the other S rankers. In fact it doesn't even mean you are stronger than all the non-S rank members. It only means you qualify for a few more missions.

It's no fricking military they are living in where the rank means everything.

In fact it doesn't even mean you are stronger than all the non-S rank members. It only means you qualify for a few more missions.

Yes, you qualify for a few more, super difficult and deadly missions.

So she's no where near as strong as Gildarts or Erza, but they make her S-Rank anyway, and she goes on an S-Rank mission and immediately dies...

But no, it's important she wins because she'd be sad if she lost...
