Why did Erza challenge that many monsters at the Pandemonium?


During the Phantom Lord arc, Erza herself mentioned that Fairy Tail is not
concerned about competition with other guilds. As Natsu told Sting during the
Chariot competition, they entered the Grand Magic Games for their comrades,
and to prove that Fairy Tail will keep going forward. They wanted to win the
Games to regain their guild's lost respect.

That would not earn them any respect, but people would just consider that she
was lucky. Erza did not want to take that chance.

Also, Fairy Tail from 7 years ago was known for going overboard and doing
things rashly. Doing it differently now would not convince people that Fairy
Tail is back, but only create a perception that they have become weaker and
are lacking in confidence.

To add on your anwser Deidara, she did it to show the power of Fairy Tail.

So during Pandemonium, Erza decided to show their return as well as the
strength of Fairy Tail.

Remember that the power of D-ranked monsters were and how shocked the audience
as well as other contestants were. So defeating all of the monsters just shows
how strong the guild is.

## Erza chose to challenge all 100 monsters because she was 1st.

If she wins, that's 10 points for the entire match. If she couldn't do it,
she'd just have to wait in the line up, until it was her turn again.

She wanted to test herself, and also ensure maximum points in that
competition. It was not about purposely action brash to fit spectators old
perception or something like that.

Fairy Tail 7 years ago was wild because its members are wild. They were
constantly in trouble because people like Natsu destroy a lot to complete a
mission. It's in no way a purposeful things to show their "style". They just
break shi+.

So again, Erza took a gamble because it would ensure the 10 point win and help
her stretch her limits.

In a way erza knew looking at the task ahead , with mato explaining n showing
the strength of the D class monster that she can win when she chose to take on
all 100 of the monsters.

It wasn't about her showing off their power but to test her own limit. she
challenged the Pendemonium....her right to challenge. Not to forget the part
where she apologized to her team for taking longer then she expected.

She took the monsters on with a vivid plan in mind. She didn't just go in
rushing without any plan (hot headed Natsu) . The way she took each monsters
just showed us the real Titania - showed us why she is respected by all.

She was the turning point for fairy tail. Fairy tail became a serious
competition. Tears came running down my cheeks (couldn't stop it.... Still
makes me cry when I re-watch this episode).

"Despite her countless injuries...the fairy that should have
fallen....soared....Titania triumphed and our spirit were born a new" love u
erza.... True Queen of the fairies....
