Smooth Criminal Wrote:Getting motion sick is pretty much a gag weakness that has no real value in most fights in the series, though. I think the only fight that ever really made use of his motion sickness was way back in the Tower of Heaven arc when the owl guy (Fukuro, right?) picked Natsu up and fly him around with his jetpack.
I thought it was nice that it at least felt like a victory in some way after winning some points and the speech. It found the speech refreshing because it at least justifies that it shouldn't really be all about being number one for the sake of looking like the strongest in comparison. And yeah, getting some sympathy from the crowd was nice.
Yeah i know it doesn't actually matter, but the fact that it's dragon slayers that have this weakness feels somehow significant. Like maybe there might be an explanation for it later on that would actually be significant to the story.
