Wow so cheap. You kill a character, and then bring them back to life, destroying any sort of feels we felt. I don't like Juvia (I have wrote a lot about this before. I used to like her but close to tenroujima arc, or even before that, I started turning bitter to her. And I started disliking her for real when Gray rejected her but she ignored it) but I found her sacrifice pretty touching.
Anyways, the pairing is canon now thanks to some survival guilt+tons of pestering. Meh. What a bad message this manga has.
Are you surprised though? There have been so many fake deaths in this arc :/
Not surprised at all about the revival at least. Okay maybe I expected her to revive a bit later in the arc? like at least 5-10 chapters. There's a thing called building-up drama and Mashima didn't even bother using that. He loves Gruvia way too much for his own goodness. It's like he used that just as an excuse to make Gray return her feelings to avoid causing as much fandom drama as he could. I mean, come on, take a few risks. But nah, he had to revive her right after because his beloved water mage suffered so much and the poor author heart couldn't take it. I might have come to at least expect Gruvia if the revival+reunion drama was well-done despite disliking it, but nah.
