That's entirely a novel reader's perspective though. To anime-only viewers, it is just one big fat troll. Especially if(god forbid) something bad happens and they don't animate the Loki arc. O_O

Now I appreciate how the original Fairy Tail anime omitted any reference to Gildarts until they were shockingly able to go beyond 4-cour. That way even if it stopped at a 4-cour, no one would be forced to find out who the apparent 'strongest man' is.
