User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 388 Quick Review - Erza vs Minerva/@comment-1759748-20140618203809/@comment-1759748-20140618212830

And NONE of their death's mattered in the long run. Who gave a crap when Zancrow kicked the can? Unless you were a fan of one of them, it really didn't matter, even in-story. Really, everyone who Hiro HAS killed were relatively minor characters, with little personality. Example, all I remember about Zancrow was he was a bit of an asshole, and the only reason I remember he even existed was because Natsu somehow overcame the God-slayer, which STILL makes no sense, and the concept was never reused. Hell, if any of their existances mattered, they'd still at least get a mention.

Minerva's death would have been a glorious motivator for Erza to thrash the only useful and powerful member of Tartarus. (yeah, I went there, again. Hiro's demons SUCK). Their fight was even hyped up...only for this bull to yet again happen. We miss out on a possibly fun fight because Erza is not so secretly in lesbians with the now-demonic (gag) Minerva and tried to "redeem" her yet again.
