One thing I don't like is how Mashima literally just slapped on a timeskip so that Natsu can have this OP(?) power. It just seems really, REALLY lazy and very convenient
I speak for other timeskip in long running shounens as well, the difference with this is that a major arc is happening right after, not some slow buildup. Unless I'm forgetting something...
Tbh coming from One Piece and Naruto.
The One Piece timeskip was good and did literally the same, we haven´t seen Zorro struggle post timeskip at all since he got his power ups and Luffy struggled against an enemie that proclaimed his power the greatest in the world, who went up against enemies that mopped the floor with the Strawhats.
The Naruto timeskip was the opposite, it had plenty of improvement in power for everyone else except Naruto who became stronger/faster at best and learned to make a bigger Rasengan.
It´s what you prefer tbh, I liked the training arc in Naruto because it had another main story going meanwhile, however the timeskip felt pointless, which FT and One Piece did better imo.
