In the previous chapters, Erza cries because Makarov just died

and it is her tears that make Gray and Natsu stop fighting.

and brings them back to normal

Before Lucy and Juvia arrive, even.

However, the first time we (readers/viewers/audience) see Erza cry

was way back in Phantom Lord arc, and was also because Makarov was injured/dying.

Erza, at the time, took charge and ordered Fairy Tail to retreat and stop fighting, but you know who wanted to keep fighting?

But was stopped by Erza?

who pulled him into a cooldown and comfort hug?

These two hold each other so protectively whenever they sense danger.

Like,just look,In the 1st panel,Natsu has both his arms around Lucy’s head,trying to shield her from impact.

And in the 2nd panel,When the strongest female spriggan Irene makes her appearance,Lucy,too,protectively puts her arms around an exhausted,unconscious natsu’s head.

They are just so beautiful and pure,and honestly,I don’t agree with the”Lucy doesn’t deserve natsu” or “Lucy deserves better than Natsu” or “Natsu deserved better” and all that stuff(When ppl mean it srsly and not jokingly,that is),cuz,just look,their relationship is just so mutual and while they are their own persons and strong,badass af individuals with such a  pure character,I love what they have between them.It’s wonderful.So wonderful I am running out of words and phrases here.

Idk, but I was always wondering why ERZA of all people would have an evil counterpart in that arc. Because while all the Edolas counterparts were the exact opposite of their Earthland selves, they still reflected the same core ‘character’ in that they are good and care about others.

Is Knightwalker like this? Yes, by the end of it, that arc. But she was an antagonist/evil, at least originally. And the question that I always had regarding this was that, if the fact that Erza’s Edolas counterpart was evil, then did that mean Erza harbored a ‘dark’ side?
