Fantasy Mirajane vs Laxus

[AmitDS]

Like Laxus got done in by Kiria as well despite trashing her the arc before. All three had "low" moments against the lower tier Diabolos characters. Same as Natsu with Madmole. I think while it does make some sense, it was clear that Mashima had a different expectation of them before he had the BDSK come and make them irrelevant.

IRL Mashima demoted them when the BDSK came along. They were really originally threats to the S class (Mira and Erza) and could low diff people like Gray for eg. In verse Mira and Erza get an excuse since they used their weakest powers and Laxus gets away because he overwhelmed them with his power when Kyria's hax wasn't usable. Idt Mashima actually thought about Mira's stronger forms and Erza's new enchantments when making these fights but hey it fits in canon lol
