Alright, let's clear this up. I hate Natsu because he has flat characterization, making him your average stock shonen protagonist who will possibly never develop. Mashima missed out on that chance with Natsu not taking Gildarts' advice to heart in the S-Class Trial Arc. To a lesser extent, his asspulls and random powerups are incredibly irritating, to say the least. Now, if Mashima ditched Natsu and made Romeo his new protagonist, then that would give him a chance to build him up from the ground, in magical power and personality, thus allowing him to not make the same mistake with making your standard idiot hero the protagonist of Fairy Tail. Maybe it's just that Japan loves the idiot hero archetype becuase they're so different than the norm, though. Anyway, from now on, a new rule is enstated: "Any mention of Natsu within Persona's earshot will not be tolerated." :P Nah, I'm over it, you've just got to learn to accept these things, though I still wish Natsu a horrible fiery death at the end of the series.
