Maybe he only went with them on the condition he could have his clothes back. He could be a very fashion conscious dude who missed his duds all those months in jail wearing the same ugly poo poo as everyone else.

I don't remember who this guy is, but don't forget about the timeskip! Assuming he was a pre-timeskip villian, he has been in jail for more than seven years!

I can barely remember what happened 10 chapters ago in this manga. Natsu probably punched things with fire.

poo poo, I just skimmed through that arc. That's exactly what happens.

Gerard appearance, the classic "I'm really on your side" act, then Natsu powers up and defeats the main baddie.

Strangely enough I don't remember any of this arc. None of the characters even ring a bell.

I was just checking Cobra's wiki and unless I'm mistaken, his eye wound was an anime-only event, and now it seems to be canon? I don't watch the anime so can someone clarify this for me?

Some anime stuff is canon, even though it doesn't fit into the story at all.

Execution
For a quick summary on Oracion Seis, they were the evil guild/group that went and kidnapped Wendy so they could revive Gerard. They wanted Gerard for the Nirvana magic weapon that Wendy's original guild's former members/founders created. It was a magic weapon that basically flipped people's good and evil natures if they were in the moral grey area. The Guild ended up being ~ghosts~ and Wendy joined Fairy Tail afterwards.
Cobra was one of the guys in Oracion Seis, he was a Lacryma Poison Dragon Slayer and had good hearing, as well as a pet snake that he fought with. Natsu fought him and beat him by yelling.

To be fair, he was fighting pretty evenly against Natsu before Brain shot him in the back.

Shocked I tell you
The recent Anime Arc was canon and actually referenced in the manga. (As the Zentopia incident). Timeline wise it works and nothing is contradicted. Cobra even has the same look in it as he was one of the villains.

It should be noted that Cobra had a pet Snake named Cubellios. Kinana a member of fairy tail that is normally seen in the back ground who joined after the Nirvana arc is Cubellios's human form as she was turned into a Snake years before fairy tail started.

Hang on. Flucy knows where to put the journal because she remembers landing in a particular place back when she was Lucy. But if Flucy hadn't taken that attack of Frogue's for her, Lucy might be dead, or things could have gone differently enough that she wouldn't land in that particular place. So that would have to mean that Flucy dying for Lucy is part of the timeline that lead up to her present where Frogue rules everything. So if Flucy came back knowing what she was going to do from Lucy's perspective, then that means that everything Flucy did or Lucy is going to do isn't going to prevent Flucy's timeline.

There's got to be something I'm missing, right?

It means dont think about time travel too hard in media aimed at tweens.

Remember how Hermionie used time travel to double up on her studies in like, the second movie, and they never used it again even though Time Travel is incredibly broken and useful for all heroes? Just dont think about it.

She used it in the third one. All the Time Turners were destroyed at the end of the fifth book, probably for precisely that reason.

Depends upon which generalized concept of time travel you're working with. Paradoxical actions are however quite common in most time travel conceptions and effects without the cause they stem from are not at all outside the "rules".

Diverging from the past future Lucy's time flow will just create another alternate reality to give us a third Gerard or whatever the hell his name is today.
