So we need to talk about why Lucy is not a useless character and protagonist. Blame watchmojo....or whoever made the list and watchmojo agreed.
1. Since Shonen women are qualified by how many wins they have over how many wins and are they good characters, Lucyās has far more wins than losses: Everlue, Sherry, Vidaldus, Bickslow, Angel, Byro, Kain, Jackal, Franmalth, Jacob and tied with Brandish And counting losses, some big bads while she was in a team, Minerva despite coming in second place during the free-for-all, and Dimaria. And even though some are team wins, she was still useful in the battlesā¦.although Kainās is hilarious. 2. Even taking into the fact that she uses her spirits, they do not always determine the fight in her favor, and she owns the spirits. Keep in mind she opened five Zodiac Keys in one day, created her own combo moves with them, fights hand to hand with her own spirits, and made Star Dress. 3. She killed Jackal with the same move that one shotted Angel and wouldāve KOed Flare. 4. She summoned the Celestial King, used Fairy Sphere and spearheaded Gottfried to trap Acnologia and unite all of Fiore into harming his physical body. And rewrote the BOOK OF END , which wouldāve KILLED NATSU had she not intervened 5. Hell, sheās somewhat physical strong, but at least 6/10 of her battles rely on her smarts, and to say winning battles without being OP perfect in strength doesnāt make a strong character is just asinine. 6. Considering she didnāt even enjoy battling in the beginning to saving Team Natsuās behinds and kicking butt not even 100 episodes in, sheās still better developed than people give her credit for. Heck, she even accomplished almost all of her goals, and is still searching for Aquarius to keep her promise. So how is Lucy a useless character?
I think one of the most important things youāre forgetting is that Lucyās celestial spiritsā power relies almost solely on her. Theyāve said before that a spirit can only be strong if their wizard is.
