Well that's her food. I don't really think that counts considering that every living thing needs food to turn into energy so their body can function. That's like saying that if I drank an energy drink before running a race is cheating. Every track runner drinks water or some energy drink. If I win just because it gave me a boost in sugar stores or awakening my senses because of a sugar rush is it wrong? No. Now if I used something like steroids then that's cheating. Celestia lost fair and square. She needs to stop having others do her dirty work. That's why Chrysalis won. She went in disquised ate to her fill and it provided her with the nutrient her body needed to fight back. Queen Chrysalis is being proactive while Celestia doesn't do much if anything.



If we're talking who's dependent on energy robbing it's Shining Armor and Cadence. They tag teamed! Two on one isn't all that fair. If this was a real fight, the mane six would be tied up like Celestia, Cadence was already tied up, and Shining Armor would still be hypnotized. But this is a children's show so of course the "good guys" have to win and true love prevails. Quite frankly the good guys aren't all that good. They've done some pretty dick-ish movies in the show.
