I love Lavi, You Love Lavi but...

... does anyone think Lavi was Gary Stu'd a bit? Same as Lenalee was Mary Sue'd?

Don't get me wrong - I both love those characters immensely, but that's been bugging me for a bit. I mean, I love how powerful they are but...

Well, what do you guys think?

Oh and totally irrelevant but is it worth spending the money for a stupid paid account so I can add me some DGM icons as I can't delete what I have now (I mean, Bjork and P.Diddy can never leave EVAR!!!). Has anyone done something like this?

I somewhat agree with you, apart from the detail that other characters do not suffer a major set back as Lenalee. Personally, I consider Allen's condition when he lost his Innocence to be parallel to Lenalee's case of leg injury and poor synchro with the Innocence. But between the both of them, Allen recuperated faster and I think that's when most fans draw the line that Allen is strong while Lenalee is weak. That, and there was a couple of times during the Noah Ark Arc, when she needs the encouragement and reassureance from both Lavi and Allen to allevate her worries.

In this case, even Lenalee admits in the manga that she didn't realise that she was so weak and scared (nevermind that she have been having those horrifying dreams). Unfortunately, some people tend to see that as being weak, but I believe that's the characteristic that makes her more humane and realistic. In the earlier parts of the story, she didn't have to face all these problems, therefore I can seeing her be more worry-free.

All that aside, I'm greatly anticipating the moment when Allen and Lavi suffers from loyalty issues as I want to see how they are going to deal with it and how it affects the other Exorcists XD Can I say I'm dying to see one of them abandon the Order at some point and making the situation more chaotic than it already is? At this point, losing an Exorcist (or two) will certainly be detrimental to the Order... Hoshino, please let it be Lavi
