IF your saying that the dragon Atlas Flame going over to the good guys side is an asspull it's not. In fact it's far from it. The reason Atlas Flame broke off of Future Rogue's magic smells of Asspull, but there is a logically explanation. We have no idea how effective Future Rogue's magic to control Dragons is. Rogue created the magic in a time when Acnologia was the lone dragon, and he admits it didn't work on it. So Future Rogue had no real way of testing the magic, and I doubt making a spell to control Dragons is easy. So it could be it didn't have that much control over the dragons, and thus why Atlas Flame could break out of it so easily. And because of Atlas Flame and Igneel's history it is likely possible that when Natsu told Atlas Flame exactly who he was he broke free of his mind control to help Igneel's son Natsu.
