Mashima just can't stop using time travel huh? Every series he does seems centered around very badly implemented time travel plots, don't know what else I should have expected.
Huh, he left showing the dark fates of Team EZ to just the robots and the dead dude. I'm surprised, I figured there'd be more despair before the opportunity for a counterattack.
@fixn Just take the Charlotte route: introduce time travel as the only means of fixing the death of a main character, fix the problem, and then discard the method of time traveling as soon as you realize every problem can be solved by using that power.
And knowing Mahima Hiro, there will be a lot of retcons regarding this power... I mean, just from the top of my head I can think of 3 with Dragon Slayer magic from his previous work:
1st, Natsu was the only character who got motion sickness from rides because he only rode animals when Igneel raised him, only for it to then become a trait shared between all Dragon Slayers of every generation; Igneel was shown talking to a fairy in an earlier chapter hidden in a volcano, only to be changed into being inside Natsu and dead all along; and finally, God and Demon Slayer magic being introduced, when Dragon Slayer magic requires to be taught directly from a dragon, yet we never see the people using the other two types being taught or related to gods and demons (Gray's father gains that magic because he was reanimated by an evil wizard, but then passes it down to Grey like it's nothing. Only Dragons need to spend years teaching, it seems, which would make it really inefficient compared to the other two).
If I were a betting man, I'd put my coins in a very convoluted explanation that contradicts at least 2 rules established so far to explain why Rebecca won't be able to leap in time again when her power becomes an issue.
Wow who woulda seen this,everyone's gonna be alive and dandy by then end of this arc,probably homura's teacher too as mashima can't write a story without people getting hurt anymore.
So he power is basically like Shamna's from the Code Geass movie. Its strong but definitely not a power i would want in this series with an author known for asspulls. Hopefully, it doesn't become ridiculous.
Also no one should be surprised at this. I knew this would happen one way or another i mean main character dead in Hiros series come on lol. Plus This series already confirming alternate time lines pretty much set up for this already.
