The anime oversexualizes them way more than the manga. The anime also downplays the violence.
@eldritch346526 күн бұрын
It definitely oversexualises them, the narriative significance of the torture scene was ruined by being a snuff hentai. Sexualisation has a place , but unless a serious moment is about someone reclaiming, weaponising or defending their sexualitiity, it just messes up the scene, because its hard to be horny and sympathetic at the same time. but Fairytail succeeds at is still making women actual characters in their own right, not just for the dudes in their lives. That's where the likes of Naruto fails, because the women in the story feel like they are only there for the men or for healing. Erza has important, even somewhat romantic relationships with men, but they built up her character, not just the men.

Another thing I've noticed is that Erza and Jellal are the only couple with a complex backstory together. Mashima put more effort into their relationship than the others. The fact of her starting to take care of her hair, once she learnt of Jellal's pardon felt more powerful to me than say, a direct dialogue confirming their love for each other.

It's because erza was more or less an accident tbh. All the traits and stuff the video says work with her backstory, are still just standard female tropes slapped together, just cause we can rationalize it doesn't mean author made an effort to make her progressive. And it's a shame really because erza isn't the only character in ft that is really interesting and unique in the genre. Shonen is just too stuck in the past, until they start letting women edit and give feedback to "boys" comics (which are pretty much gender neutral and feature a lot of romance lately), were not going to see that much change to battle Shonen.

Like I was just recently finishing up the final season after taking a 5 year break and compared to a lot of other shounen anime the girls actually have good outfits. Like they actually seem like stuff people wear (most the time).

All we get is people SAYING she's as strong as Naruto and Sasuke, but we never see her BEING as strong as Naruto and Sasuke. Its the most aggravating example of "tell, don't show" in Naruto HISTORY. So what? She punched a few expendable mobs and broke a few rocks, and then tells herself "Yup! I'm finally as strong as them!". HAHAHA PATHETIC. Even more pathetic when you realise the MOMENT Madara or Obito shows up, Naruto and Sasuke takes the charge and she gets relegated to background healing duty. The one time she took charge of things, (when Madara got both his eyes back) she was immediately stabbed and imobilized by Madara, accomplishing nothing, and had to be saved by Naruto. Then she promptly retreated into the background, feeling sorry about herself and crying that "Sasuke-kun didn't care to save me 😢" In this situation, if Sakura was even half as competent as Erza, Madara would be fighting for dear life...

Fairy Tail would have been an S tier shonen if it weren't for the fanservice (esp when it intervenes in the story itself, like, Lucy winning a fight because she showed her panty) and the ctrl Z of the deaths of the story. It's not just Erza, all of the female main cast, including Levy and Mirajane are very well written characters. Lucy is an eccellent protagonist, both being a way to introduce to the world of FT, and being her own character. I really, really like her lol Other characters like Minerva, Kagura are also great ones. Mashima puts 100x more effort into writing his female characters than anyone else in the shonen game. I feel like he also makes them unapologetically FEMININE. Like, you couldn't change their gender, these characters wouldn't have been the same if they had been male (in some stories, f characters are well written, but they could as well be male, their gender isn't important and doesn't change anything). It's the difference between making Ariel black without it having any consenquences on the story, and having a black character ACTUALLY representing a culture, not just for show.

3:50 to add on how it extends to her appearance. Donning armor is of course a masculine trait because it’s used for combat which is usually thought of as a thing for men. But it’s also feminine because it plays on the “magical girl transformation” (with her own actual magical girl transformation scene), and that women dressing up and changing clothes is a very feminine trait like what girls do when they play with their Barbie dolls. She gets to play dress up and kick ass while doing it.

This ia a good video on Erza. I do think part of her being such a stickler for the rules is also due to her social awkwardness from her past and being mostly isolated even in the guild (especially after losing MiraJane as a rival when Lisanna "died." Once she relaxes her social awkwardness really starts to show. I do look at a couple of other things differently than how you put them here. First, when her magic awakened, she wasn't pulling swords from a spatial area. They were rising off the ground from the battle. This wasn't her requip, but instead enchantment magic, just like her mother. I think after her talk with Jellal, she buried that magic (mostly) and learned requip because it kept her armors close to her. As for the other, on Tenrou, Azuma basically said he left the island's/tree's connection to her so she could fight at full strength. And the island's power only works with those who have the guild mark. So while he had cut the others off, that excess power had only one place it could go, to the only one with the guild mark still linked to the island. It didn't happen right away, and I don't think she realized it right away earlier. But the ability to hear (or at least sense) Jellal, which was similar to Laxus sensing Makarov, I feel was the trigger. And the visions of the members appearing behind her was the power flowing into her to make the final blow. She was the guild and had the power that had been spread throughout them, put fully into her. That;s just my take on it, and it had been a long while since I read the mange, and while I did rewatch last year, even that is tough to remember perfectly. I do love how Ultear can't use her magic on living things, but she messes with trees all the time.

Let's be honest they don't do much with it. I love FT characters and power. It was the one of the anime I watched when I fell in anime rabbit hole. It was long time ago. Although it has many interesting ideas but it has awful plot convince. The amount of time they introduced an interesting antagonist. Only to be easily defeated by "power of protagonist". Made me go wth- Kauraga was able to reverse gravity magic to Libra .Cancel the Bad Luck Zodiac. With no explanation. But then getting weak over mild fight. The anime is full of moments where characters get suddenly strong and weak bcs plot says so. I remember in S1 finally I was excited to see Erza in final battle. Mostly bcs it's rare to hv female as one of the main 3 but what happens? She suddenly gives up! Cries of Natsu and Grey to save her and they do it for her. 😃Huh? The only time she actually had somewhat proper fight was with Irene. The battles are way too blatantly basised to whoever the author favors with no creativity.

Many (almost all tbh) female fans of Fairytail can feel & love Erza. She may be OP or even check all the boxes of a "Mary Sue", she still feels like a fully fleshed out authentic character. She can stand on her own while simultaneously accept (or help out) help feom her fellow companions. While also being considerably "tomboyish", she is still feminine and considered sexy. As a young kid watching Fairytail, i always found her so cool and beautiful. Now MUCH older, looking back at some of the fanservice scenes...which make me cringe💀 I still find it funny (but also sad when you really think about it) that the female characters are treated like actual characters. There are no strictly "fanservice characters" all of the women have arcs and character growth. All of this is reasons why I love Fairytail.

I feel so dumbfounded and exposed. It's like you delved into my head and fished out and brought to light all the reasons why I love Erza. Especially when you mention Erza has all of these conflicting, contradicting, but organic and true characteristics. She is strong and weak. She is confident but vulnerable. She is serious and no-nonsense, but also dorky and silly. People look up to her as a strong warrior. But Erza herself often feels dhe is unworthy. (Some can interpret that as being humble or an implication of her inner vulnerability, which is result of her past trauma, making Erza even more layered as a character) You've also highlighted for me just how much her past has affected her personality and traits as she grew up. Especially your point on why in earlier arcs she was held high regard about rules. Because she had a high value of justice and goodness born out of her time of abuse and trauma. Of course I thought about it. But not that much. Your analysis and deep think of this character I think are top tier out of any other videos about this character, Erza Scarlet. If people ignore the fan service. I think would everyone agree Erza is one of the best female characters in anime, if not any fiction or media form. The only thing I don't like is her relationship with Jellal romantic. I understand and accept that he will always have, and does have, great significance in her life. But her infatuation with him makes me uncomfortable for several reasons. For one thing. I think she still sees him as the boy she knew instead of the man he became and is now. I think she likes the idea of Jellal and/or The boy he knew. So in a way Erza is looking into the past and I don't like that. I feel like that goes against her character as well as her development. For example. Another reason why I don't like them being seen as a couple. It's because of how she acts around him. Erza isn't afraid and doesn't hesitate to do silly and dorky things and embarrassing things while all around her guildmates at Fairy Tail. But when she gets around Jellal. She gets flustered and embarrassed. So The reason that bothers me because it seems like Erza cannot be her true self around Jellal in comparison to when she's around her friends of Fairy Tail. To say again if I may. I'm fine that he has a great significance in Erza's life. But the thought and the implication of them having some sort of romantic relationship makes me sick to my stomach. I just do not see how they are compatible personality and dynamic wise besides embarrassment and infatuation and ideal love.

One thing that Hiro Mashima wrote when they asked about why Erza challenged 100 monsters instead of going for 51. Mashima says that Erza did because she realized that Cana being the last to fight would mean that she would not have any monster to challenge and would place last. So she choose to challenge the 100 hundred so Cana has an oportunity to place 2nd in a tie breaker with the other guilds

That shows that strenght has nothing to do with gender, and a woman don't need to take away her feminine side in order to be strong, by the contrary, there is strenght in femininity as well.

It's nice to see someone giving one of my favorite Fairy Tail characters the credit she's due. If there are two major criticisms I have they are: 1. A lot of her victories feel like asspulls. We can argue if they are or aren't all day but if they aren't asspulls and feel like it, you're obviously doing something wrong as a writer. 2. Her pig-headedness on Galuna Island; no matter how you look at it, she was more concerned with making sure her guildmates were punished for breaking a rule than saving an island full of people from a demon. That's very short-sighted for Erza, not a very "good guy" mentality, and makes little sense when compared to her determination to do what needed to be done during the Lullaby fiasco and she still acts like she was in the right afterward.
