Kagi makes a good point, but still, Natsu has yet to defeat a PROMINENT opponent without an external source of power (Laxus, Jellal, Gajeel, Hades). In this, he had ultear fast forward their magical containers, allowing them to tap into their Second Origin, basically making them as strong as they would be if they had actually trained (maby even stronger) instead of partying their asses off. I would have liked the progress of the time skip to be more like their training IS the tournament; learning how strong the mages of today are and adapting, eventually, surpassing them. I wan't to see the main character struggle, not ass pull and make random friends that turn them into godly characters.
