Nah, best fanservice award goes to Lucy :3.
Though I'd say she wins the award of 'most BS writing' by far.
Natsu wants to have a word with you!
He doesn't mind the fanservice though :p
My argument being that Natsu has about the same count of BS fights.
Erza´s Bs fights started with Tenru Island.
The whole issue in itself being that Mirajane her supposedly former rival was taken out legitimately the same way Erza was taken out legitimately, Azuma was too strong for both of them. Then she revived and won fueled on Nakama powerup to beat him.
Natsu delivered the same horseshit with Zancrow. I eat your flames although I cant and that makes me strong enough to beat you because of reasons.
Tower of heaven was the first instance she used her armorless form for the first time and in that situation it made sense because her enemie was all about speed.
In retrospect even that fight becomes horseshit given the knowledge that we have about her and her speedblitz armor. Overall the idea behind all this imo is that the armorless Erza came to be out of lazyness.
It beats anything so it´s easier to write, no tactics required (something the Anime filler managed to do with the Erza vs 100 monsters fight, by making her use water and fire armor depending on the enemies), it´s always the same outfit, so it doesn´t require creative design choises (just count how many armors we´ve seen) and it is easier to draw compared to some intricate armor design with lots of details.
However, Natsu started off as mediocore powerful member of FT getting power ups out of convenience instead of gradually growing. He get´s compared to Luffy alot because outside of character similarities, both guys never train. Yes they both had a timeskip in whcih they trained but their growth ouside of that has no sense or reason, except for the Deus ex machina constantly thrown at him that make him stronger. His fights are equally bad written and involve barely if ever any tactic or thought process.
Well, but Natsu's fights contain less BS than Erza's and are far more enjoyable.
Sorry that I thought you were referring to the fanservice part :P
