You've clearly never seen medieval torture >_> there was nothing perverted about this. It was all to humiliate and break Erza. Which judging by her expression in some of the pannels, worked just as intended. People need to get their mind out of the gutter >_>
Precisely. Having read a lot of books/comics and watched tons of movies with medieval setting, I can say it is like that.
While it can be considered fan service to a degree, it makes the scene more impacting. The fact is, she is being tortured because they want her to spill Jellal´s location.
I actually question if those who complain about being fan service, would also be the ones to say the scene would have looked stupid had they been wearing clothes.
That aside, the chapter was pretty exciting. So far, the arc has done everything right and just keeps getting better.
Seeing how Mashima is going all out with this arc and the fact that Jellal is the last seal, now I actually question whether he will die or not.
