Erza vs Erza: Who really won?

At the end of the latest Fairy Tail manga chapter, we see Edoras Erza approaching Natsu and Gray. After mistaking her initially to be Earthland Erza, Gray and Natsu noticed her clothes and concluded that the Erza vs Erza battle has finally ended, and Edoras Erza won. Hmm?

I don't think so. [ Possible Fairy Tail spoiler below, although this is just my take on it, nothing official. ]

Aside from my initial, "No way Erza Scarlet would lose!" reaction, this panel really made me think that something fishy's going on:



She looks and talks just like Edoras erza, alright, but look at the scar on the side of her face... And then look here:



This one was from Fairy Tail 180: Erza vs Erza. Early in their battle, they scarred each other in the face... Earthland Erza's scar was slanted below her left eye, while Edoras Erza was scarred on the bridge of her nose.

If you'd look back to the first picture, the scar on this Erza's face is below her left eye. It's slanted upwards instead of Earthland Erza's downward-slanted scar (and slanted in a manner that is more similar to Edoras Erza's scar) but I think it's a minor mistake, and may even be made so it won't be too obvious.

So I have a hunch that the Erza that won is Earthland Erza... I really don't need the panels shown above. (It's just sort of a little evidence, in case someone wanted to challenge my hunch, haha.) Let's just say that I believe in Erza too much. ;)

If you want another, just look at the last panel on page 19. Doesn't that confident, all-knowing smile look very familiar? The next chapters could prove me wrong, but don't go telling me that I don't have faith in Erza Scarlet. She may not be my favorite character, but she's the one character I truly admire, and I just won't accept it if she lost.

I can't wait for Fairy Tail 187.

  1. [...] I turn in. All I got was a synopsis from its main page in Wikia proving my earlier guess that it was Erza Scarlet who won the Erza vs Erza battle… which I guess is good enough. Oh [...]
