Yea, they're unusual like that. They should probably slow down or do more filler if they're going to do long-term. They've got maybe one and a third season's worth in the tank right now.
Lucky for them that Fairy Tail's manga is not like bleach in speed.
Quite. Heck, even Lucy with Aquarious would be pretty dangerous

For those of us following the manga, anyone else think Fairy Tail's too stingy with the S-class? Several have shown them to be capable of handling the missions, but to only have one slot for it!
No wonder the actual Fairy Tail S-class mages like Erza and Laxus tend to be so badass compared to those of other guilds.
Pretty much, yea. He does beat S-class Juvia in the Phantom Lord arc (granted she's a bit stronger, just going easy because of the love-crush thing, but she's also the 2nd strongest of the Element 4, and he'd beat either of the weaker two).
The latest manga chapter reveals he's one of the candidates to get Fairy Tail's next S-class slot (which they are really stingy with; you might've noticed by now how Erza tends to beat up even other guild's S-classes, and Laxus and Mirajane and Mystogan were like that too). Even with the coming of the mighty Sky Dragon Slayer to the guild.
Unlike most other shounen series, people in Fairy Tail do not level up rapidly, they ease forward, and that continues on the next several arcs until the present point. With some exception for Lucy, who's collection of new keys has made her noticeably stronger than she was at the beginning, but I think she's leveled out.
They just call her the strongest, it's like her schtick.
Mirajene outclasses her like crazy though.
And yeah....Clive is uber, when he came back to Magnolia, they actually remodeled the entire city so he had a straight line to Fairy Tail. They made sure nothing was in his way.
yeah, his magic or entrance to town was what pretty much caught my interest, it beats Mystogan putting everyone to sleep whenever he visits, Mystogan is cool too though...
and Dragons must be the real deal too, if one of them managed to do that number on Gildarts...
I will note that S-class doesn't transfer over, that is to say Juvia and Gajeel are considered S-class in Phantom but not fairy tail (though they do get more respect for being S-class in another guild) and'll have to pass the S-class test just like Natsu or Gray before they can take S-ranked jobs on their own by the FT rules.
They were rivals, so we're not really sure who is tops. Probably pretty close.
I do wonder if with Mirajane's powers back she'll be actively taking missions again.
im now up to date with the anime, hmmm, so Jellal is the guy who'll be tapping Erza's azz, interesting, I also sorta like Laxus and Gajeel after the shooby do bop thing...
and Mirajane's Satan soul was awesome, Freid had to powerup just to keep up and it was still nothing...
I've never read any Fairy Tail up until now, but the ten pages I did read yesterday was all about girls with big boobies naked in a bathtub.
That's a good sign.

Fairy Tail S class status more than likely has nothing to do with how powerful you are but is probably about your status in the guild hence why all the background characters were just doing missions to increase their status and not actually trying to get stronger.
If Juvia were in One Piece she would probably do well against DF users but not against Enel.
