What happened to the punishment for stealing an S-Rank Quest?


In episode 19, Natsu, Gray, Happy and Lucie should have been punished because
they "stole" an S-Rank quest. However, the master wasn't there, so they wanted
to take another quest. When they read the quest content, it swapped their
bodies/minds. The master then entered and tried to help them, and the episode
ends.

Episode 20 starts in a forest where Natsu and Happy are fishing, so the
"ending" of Episode 19 is missing.

Did I watch a wrong "source" or is this part really missing?




Episode 19 (filler episode) and episode 20 (omake episode) are non-canonical
from a continuity perspective. In the manga, when they return to Magnolia,
Erza reminds them about _that_ punishment (just like in the anime), but then
they see their guild building destroyed. This begins the next Phantom Lord
arc, and thus the punishment matter gets dropped naturally. Since the
punishment was never shown in canon, they probably decided to skip it in the
anime too.

> In any case, _that_ punishment is most likely something silly, such as the
> one in episode 75 later.
