Fairy Tail Manga Discussion

[Archangel]

I have no idea what the fuck was the reasoning behind that last bet.

[dragonrage]

Chastity, a woman's virtue is her treasure. They are not pornstars but models, it is a question of being shamed.

I think I'm going to take a break from reading this and catch up in about six months.

[Kraco]

I have no idea what the fuck was the reasoning behind that last bet.

Reasoning? It was to win the fight and score the points. It was actually a very good plot by this Jenny, and she would have won if it hadn't turned into a real fight. The judges would have allowed Jenny to win in order to see Mirajane nude in the Weekly Sorcerer (if I had been a judge there, I'd have fallen for it, har har).

I'm glad it indeed turned out they didn't need Lucy simply for a particular spirit; I assume so, at least, since she apparently dies in the process.

[Marik]

[NeoCybercoin]

So they show the remaining Zodiac plus a new mysterious one? Well I am pretty sure Lucy will end up having those.

[Marik]

Special: "Grand Magic Games Guide Book" is out.

[Kraco]

So they show the remaining Zodiac plus a new mysterious one? Well I am pretty sure Lucy will end up having those.

If the big machine draws the very soul out of a stellar spirit mage to do whatever it's intended to do (open a portal to the spirit realm?), then if they end up using this Yukino instead of Lucy (because Lucy's friends aren't scumbags who would throw their guild member to the wolves), it makes sense Lucy would snatch the keys.

[Marik]

Chapter 281 is out.

[LaZie]

That was hot.

[Kraco]

Poor Jellal. He has so devoted enemies that it would make real villains envious. But then again, he also has Erza loving him, and that surely balances out a lot. If he only gave himself a second chance. At the very least Erza needs to make sure those people won't meet Jellal any time soon.

I wonder what Yukino wants from Lucy/Fairy Tail. I doubt she simply came to hand over her keys. Though that's not impossible, either, if Sabertooth mattered so much to her that she now considers herself a failure of a mage and will seek another profession instead.

[Marik]

Chapter 282 is out.

[NeoCybercoin]

Haha, that's the Natsu we know!

[Archangel]

Natsu could have totally tapped that... why are shounen heroes always asexual?

[Kraco]

Haha, that's the Natsu we know!

Indeed. That was Natsu being 100% Natsu.

I was somewhat surprised to see Erza address Juvia and Gray's situation. But perhaps it was a direct consequence of Erza needing to face her own feelings with Jellal; a case where there's no room for comedy.

[Marik]

Chapter 283 is out.

[Kraco]

It was obvious something would disturb the fight. But perhaps he did sow the seeds of discord within Sabertooth. That shouldn't be overly hard, either, considering it's nothing but a collection of mages, not a guild similar to the ones we have seen before. Even the dark guilds we saw in the past might have had more unity than Sabertooth.

[NeoCybercoin]

Ahhhh Awesome Natsu is awesome.

[Marik]

Chapter 284 is out.

[Archangel]

Well the outcome was obvious the moment Erza drew the first number.

FYI, she could have just picked 51 and still won.

[NeoCybercoin]

Fuck yeah Erza.

[Kraco]

FYI, she could have just picked 51 and still won.

It's not really the Fairy Tail style to win by statistics.

Considering this fight we didn't really see, it was probably as much if not more about stamina as strength. 100 monsters can't really attack a single opponent at once, so you are only fighting a limited number at the same time, but for a long time.

[Marik]

Chapter 285 is out.

[Archangel]

What a pissing contest.

[NeoCybercoin]

So they gave her a nuke that she can only use once. Kinda cheating no?

[Archangel]

Not really, it's the guild's power. Not her fault the other guilds don't have secret hax.

[Marik]

Chapter 286 is out.

[Kraco]

Yes, roundabout for sure. Considering all the high level mages around, including telepaths, it must be a damn excellent illusionist to fool them all. All in all this makes me think Iwan was too cowardly to continue in Fairy Tail. He can't even understand how Fairy Tailers think.

[Marik]

Chapter 287 is out.

[NeoCybercoin]

Right...Gajeel's spying. It would have made sense if 7 years had not gone by but come on. In those 7 years so many could have changed. Still..points for Laxus for beating them all. Or not. They seem to be mediocre mages at best compared to him.

Well atleast Wendy will get a chance to show off her two new moves.Milky Way and Daybreak Skypiecing. Since she did get the knowledge for those moves from Edo Grandeeney. IF she learned them though.

[Kraco]

Still..points for Laxus for beating them all. Or not. They seem to be mediocre mages at best compared to him.

Evaluating Iwan now that we got the first good look at him, he doesn't seem to be an overly gifted mage. Maybe that's precisely why he became a rotten apple: He felt himself inadequate compared to Makarov or the other past Fairy Tail leaders and wanted to find some easy way to power. It would be the most common tale ever. The very fact he designed his guild to be an anti-Fairy Tail guild already reveals it's no good. I guess he ended up being nothing but a device to name Fairy Tail's big, dark secret.

But I'm looking more forward to Wendy's cute battle at this point!

[Marik]

Chapter 288 is out.

[NeoCybercoin]

Lame.
So does this mean that above every Dragon Slayer could be a potential God Slayer?

[toonice714]

Seems to be the theme....I remember natsu just ate his god slayer opponent's flames. Maybe Wendy will do the same. Its weird to see her eat air though. That's pretty convenient for her dragon slaying ability. No matter where she goes there will be food. At first I thought she might have had to eat clouds but air?! Thats pretty broken :/

[Kraco]

At first I thought she might have had to eat clouds but air?! Thats pretty broken :/

So far her magic has been considerably weaker in attack power than Natsu or Gajeel's, so I wouldn't necessarily call it broken. I have a feeling the potential maximum is much lower in any case since her specialty is actually healing, not destruction.

Maybe these god slayer mages are all hacks developed by Zeref or someone else. They appear exceedingly strong at the first glance but won't stand the test of time.

[toonice714]

I think when they first intro'd godslayers they made it out to be lost magic from the abyss. Or wherever hades was talkin about. It's not broken in the sense that she will be a stream of power but that her energy source is always present. Natsu and gajeel have to go out of their way to find their mana source.

[Kraco]

It's not broken in the sense that she will be a stream of power but that her energy source is always present. Natsu and gajeel have to go out of their way to find their mana source.

That hasn't helped her overly much. We have seen her multiple times on the verge of passing out from healing people.

[Marik]

Chapter 289 is out.

[Kraco]

It was indeed a good fight, despite the fact it half seem like a background event with Jellal trying to steal the attention and making me expect Chelia will explode like a nuke any time. But it will be jolly good (or cute) to see it animated in the distant future, nonetheless.

[toonice714]

Anticlimactic battle....but I guess I shouldn't have expected an explosive bout where two loli characters are involved.

[Marik]

Chapter 290 is out.

[Kraco]

Jellal's way of escaping the predicament wasn't overly exciting... But I suppose those girls seeing his face will later prove some amusement. It would be funny if Erza was then standing beside him to face the others who suffered under Jellal's tender care. Now, that would be a conflict. Although I'd expect Jellal wanting to escape then even more than fight back.

Makarov and Laxus panicking when the first started to weep was a hilarious scene.

[Marik]

I'm loving page 3. :)

[Archangel]

There's some sort of bug, can't get past page 6.

[Marik]

They put it up and then took it down twice.

[Archangel]

Any chance you downloaded it? :/

[Marik]

I didn't the first time, but I did when it came back up. Their files are huge.

[NeoCybercoin]

Well...Juvia should have won this won but man...Lucy got raped out there.

[Archangel]

I love Sabertooth, they just don't give a fuck.

Too bad they'll become good by the end of this. Either that or they'll die.

[NeoCybercoin]

Natsu will beat the shit out of them of course.

[Kraco]

Well...Juvia should have won this won but man...Lucy got raped out there.

Juvia shouldn't even participate in contests like this. Her personality is utterly unsuitable as the only thing she desires and can concentrate on is Gray.

[NeoCybercoin]

For some reason I was always under the impression that they were also Fire and Iron.

[Dark Dragon]

Not that I'm surprised but this is boring. They're getting their asses handed to them when Natsu and Gajeel is barely using any techniques and then the secret trick is to use Dragon Force? Natsu pretty much use that whenever he wants to anyway so they'll just get owned again next chapter or the one after.

[Archangel]

Actually he's never been able to activate it on his own, always needed a magical boost from something else.

That something can be whatever though, the fact that the good guys win by asspulling shouldn't come to a surprise to anyone who's red more than 10 chapters of this.

[Kraco]

What asspulling? Sabertooth doesn't look like a real guild that would develop anyone in a balanced manner. Fairy Tail, however, has had to go through a number of very varying lethal situations and fight opponents most mages wouldn't dream of in their nightmares. There's little reason to expect these two upstart dragon slayers would have experienced a quarter of what Natsu and Gajeel have. They might have fancy techniques at hand (for whatever reason), but they are like green soldiers with fancy hi-tech weapons against battle scarred veterans with trusty tools and tricks they know inside out.

[Dark Dragon]

It's not even about main characters winning through "asspull".

Like Kraco said, they difference between the two side is just too great.

Natsu and Gajeel looks like they're barely even trying. At this rate Natsu doesn't even have to activate Dragon Force in order to stomp them.

Another thing is we don't even know how strong their "Dragon Force" is. It's pretty much a shounen staple that a tool is only as strong as its user and these two doesn't even looks like they are competent enough to fight the Oracion Seis

This arc has the same feeling of One Piece Mermaid arc for me. None of opponent so far really seem like an actual challenge for FT, most of the difficulties so far came from artificial barriers created by the plot, so it's just kinda boring.

[toonice714]

Well it's not boring for me. I like watching super arrogant pretty boys get their faces mashed in the dirt. These guys haven't been complete jerks but it was time for them to get paid back in full. What I can't believe is that they killed their dragon counter parts. I think they either let them win or they also vanished but in the middle of learning their dragon slayer techniques. Being that they were the light and shadow dragons, they probably assumed they killed them if they disappeared in front of them.

Brilliant storytelling.

A lot like Dragonball Z no?

[Dark Dragon]

Lol, that is by far the dumbest sob story ever.

"oh noes, my cat is being bullied" > "I must beat a dragon slayer, that will show em"

[Kensee]

Lol, that is by far the dumbest sob story ever.

"oh noes, my cat is being bullied" > "I must beat a dragon slayer, that will show em"

That's why he can't win, he's doing it for all the wrong reasons! I hope Natsu cleans the floor with both of them this next chapter.

Poor Gajeel...

[Dark Dragon]

That's why he can't win, he's doing it for all the wrong reasons! I hope Natsu cleans the floor with both of them this next chapter.

Poor Gajeel...

It's just funny because he was trashing Fairy Tail for making friendship speeches (The true power of this manga) and he pretty much pulled a random one from his back story.

It's pretty much confirmed that these two will join Fairy Tail after this arc, so we just need to wait for Natsu introductory ass-whooping next chapter.

You don't mess with friendship :cool:

[toonice714]

Fairy tail's recruitment mission statement
Get down or lay down

[Kraco]

It's pretty much confirmed that these two will join Fairy Tail after this arc...

That might be, for the reason of being dragon slayers alone, but I'd personally expect them to need to do something good before that. Even the flashback with the cat didn't really suggest they have any good qualities, quite the contrary in fact, because the cats seem just as rotten as everybody else in that guild. Maybe they will redeem themselves in the unheaval that this whole tournament is a facade for.

Rather than these douches, I thought the celestial mage girl would have joined Fairy Tail, but she went a different way.

[Dark Dragon]

It is heavily implied that the celestial mage will be offered up as some sort of sacrifice instead of Lucy. Maybe that will give those two the reason they need to team up with Fairy Tail, friendship speeches and all.

Second Origin gave him plenty of magic to withstand their attacks. Before that Natsua already had a lot of magic. Gajeel doesn't have that though. He just trained his ass off.

[Archangel]

This is really trying to pump the tension and expectations up. I hope it will work out and not fall flat.
Fairy Tail has an history of falling short on my expectations, just sayin.

[JoPedroo]

I love fairy tail. It is one of my favorite mangas. In the first episode, we saw Natsu desperately looking for Igneel. Yes, I know it was the beginning. Since then, Natsu talked about it 1 or 2 more times. Igneel appeared 2 times, if I remember correctly. I think it was time to move on with the story a bit.
I hope that what Levy said has something to do with 7.7.7, when all the Dragons disappeared :)

[Marik]

Chapter 298 is out.

[JoPedroo]

This chapter, just boobs and boobs x)

[Kraco]

At first I was annoyed by the sudden break from the main story, but this quickly won me over, and not because of the fanservice but the jokes. Although I can't deny the fanservice having been jolly good as well.

Jellal certainly got more than he bargained for, in a good way.

[JoPedroo]

Hiro Mashima just wanted to give us a happy chapter before another sad chapter..

[NeoCybercoin]

I just hate Jellal.

[Kraco]

I just hate Jellal.

Huh, why? I think he's one of the better characters. I wish this manga wasn't so antiromantic so that he could get together with Erza. After Gray and Juvia, those two make my favourite couple in the story.

[Archangel]

SO MUCH CONTENT!

I wish it would just get to the main plot so i can finally be disappointed on the next inevitable shitty development.

[NeoCybercoin]

I do like how Elfman and Evergreen actually are moving forward as a couple though both deny it xD

[Kraco]

Yeah. But too bad they are clearly only secondary characters. I have a feeling that's the only reason why they actually manage to do it in this story.

[Dark Dragon]

I'm surprised that we get enough traffic here to even warrant any attention. I always figured they'd go for the major online reader websites or download first, but some of those are still up. It's even more odd that they targeted Fairy Tail manga specifically and ignored everything else.

Discussion below!






Poor Lector.

[Archangel]

OMG!





This chapter sucked balls.

[Kraco]

I mostly agree. Maybe Mashima simply isn't so good at delivering it, but the "mysteries" he's now building left and right are annoying. Many of them don't feel like proper mysteries to begin with with the kind of presentation he has. What is worst is that in the mean time nothing is going on.

Other than that, Sabertooth is falling short of any expectations. It would have been hard to believe any out of nowhere guild could have really grown stronger than Fairy Tail during the seven years, yet still it had some potential. But with each chapter it's becoming more and more hollow. Maybe it was nothing but a facade, or a tool, for the Eclipse project and the tournament, who knows, but it should have had more mass.

[toonice714]

I hope the guild master dies. He was a douche.

[Kensee]

And here the whole time I thought that one Knight was going to be the main villain of this arc.

Oh and did Natsu lose all his powers so he won't be able to go all out for the battle royal or is this just a temporary thing for now?

[Archangel]

Chapter 302:

If you can make magic sucking machines then why the fuck dont you just use those to fight Zeref? God damn this writing is so bad...

Chapter 302:

....uh because zeref is too powerful O_o? No...no...I guess this is just bad story writing lol

[Kraco]

Maybe Zeref is too careful to go near such a huge machine. Or if he did, Acnologia would arrive shortly after and annihilate everything, the expensive machine included. Well, for all we know, the whole thing might have required Zeref's knowledge to be built.

From what I can see, Natsu should be up and running after eating some flames. So, there shouldn't be any reason for him to skip fights.

[Kraco]

Chapter 303:


- - - - - - - --





Even though Fairy Tail is too proud to ask for any outsider's help, I wonder if they at least informed Jellal of the changed situation. Jellal and Ul are so big mofos that it would hardly be wise to count them out. They will be doing something, no matter what, so it would make sense to allow them to do it perfectly informed.

Other than that, I'm kind of happy seeing Juvia right in the center of action for once. I seriously hope she won't be used for comic relief once again. She has been doing hardly anything but failing in this arc. It's more or less established she isn't really a fighting character out of her own volition; I reckon she would be more happy staying home raising her and Gray's children, but it can't be denied she has the skills if only the plot allowed her to fight seriously.

[Kraco]

Chapter 304:






The First looked all serious on page 17, but by the next page, she couldn't help but look all cute again, with those bare feet and that child's body.

I wonder how seriously depicted these fights will be, those that Fairy Tail participates in, that is. I wouldn't mind seeing a few of them.

[Roko]

The First has proven to be a great addition to the story/comic relief, despite my initial misgivings due to the way she was inserted.

I think one of the fights will definitely be Erza being confronted by one or both of the Mermaid chicks about her relationship with Jellal. Looking forward to the fights.

[Carnage]

[Kraco]

That dude doesn't look cute at all, but who am I to argue with you about your tastes.

[toonice714]

That's Chris Hanson....from to catch a predator

[Kraco]

So, she was a grand strategist. If that's really the case, she should have a few good ideas about how to defeat Jura, even if not a foolproof one.

Aside from the princess disturbing the already muddled Eclipse plan situation, I can't say overly much would have happened in this chapter. But Gray's next fight could be interesting. I hope it gets a bit of exposure.

[Archangel]

The plan for defeating Jura will probably be ganging up on him. That or this last round will be interrupted by some bulshit reason.

Chapter 306 - Unlimited Blade Works

[toonice714]

Gray v Rufus....quite possibly the shortest worst match up ever. I have the ability to make up ANY POWER. Uh......SHOENEN HEART!!! C'mon at least pretend like his being a main character isn't the only reason he won >_>

[Kraco]

Gray v Rufus....quite possibly the shortest worst match up ever. I have the ability to make up ANY POWER. Uh......SHOENEN HEART!!! C'mon at least pretend like his being a main character isn't the only reason he won >_>

It certainly was made to look too easy and short, but I don't think there was otherwise too much wrong about it. Rufus's power is a haxor power anyway, bypassing any training by simple knowledge (the theory of playing piano is exceedingly easy, but it's lots of work to actually acquire the skill, so knowledge is only a corner of the whole thing). There are great many things in this world, and more so in the world of magic, that can't be comprehended by simply knowing how it's done. Gray confused the dude with such a thing and then finished him off with something he had neither time nor the will to memorize in his arrogance. Gray has fought enough with Natsu to know how to keep his ice together against fire.

[Kraco]

Chapter 307 - Unlimited Doofus Works





- - --- - - --





Seriously, there's always a crazy powerful new bunch of people appearing out of nowhere. It's only natural nobody has ever heard of them before, despite the fact they are among the top mages. Oh, well, at least it makes sense the monarch has to have a secret weapon against his enemies, although it makes no sense people aiming to take over or destroy the whole world are free to roam around as long as they don't visit the monarch's basement. In fact this Garou Knights gang likely isn't any secret executioner crew as much as they are just the previous unlucky group to fall into the inescapable dungeon.

More importantly, I wonder if what's-her-name resembling Lisanna will play a role later. The Eclipse plan calls for a celestial mage and this girl or Lucy were the candidates. So, Fairy Tail could potentially screw the whole thing by having Lisanna infiltrate the place in this girl's stead. I guess it could happen even by accident in a goofy story like this.

[Archangel]

> Nah brah it's cool i sent him to a "special place".

This manga is garbage.

[Kraco]

Chapter 308 - Unlimited Separation Works




- - - - -- - - --






It's best not to expect a surprise such as that they all wouldn't be meticulously paired to fight the most suitable opponent, without a risk of being interrupted by others. This was, seriously, too blatant. The very beginning looked more interesting with the chaotic setting of everybody present. I guess it would be the time for Lucy to learn to summon the spirits even without keys, but maybe this fish dude isn't serious enough an opponent for such an advancement.

These past chapters have made me feel like nobody in power in that kingdom knows what their colleagues are doing. They all think they are working for some bigger plan, but then an associate appears to kick them in the nuts, revealing opposite action. Zeref must be laughing in his lair - well, he would if he wasn't so emo.

[toonice714]

Surprise.....they crushed them without any effort. Has there been any fights that have more than a 3 way back and forth rally for victory? Seriously, the fights that have been introduced had been: display random undoubtedly powerful enemy, enemy attack seemingly formidable, fairy tail reaction, power of friendship, enemy bewilderment and cap it off with a fairy tail one shot. End fight. The longest battle might have been right before acnologia showed up in the fight with hades (i think that was his name) the second FT guild master. I read this manga for fights and now they are beginning to suck....I know I don't pay to read this but I just feel like the quality of this manga has severely gone downhill

[Kraco]

To be honest this executioner team never had a chance. They had pretty surprising magic at their disposal, but they should have been able to finish the fight immediately to win. And they couldn't because FT wizards have seen and experienced too much for such surprises to work against them, coming from mages not powerful enough. Failing to do that, these fellows were out of luck and out of their league.

Still, I'm not trying to dispute everything you say, but this particular fight went as it should have. Logically thinking there's no way some never heard of gang of random mages from the cellar of a castle would pose any serious threat to Fairy Tail.

[toonice714]

True. Enemies have just been getting really hyped up and then crushed. The same thing happened with the "godslayer" magic and the magic users from saber tooth

[Kraco]

True. Enemies have just been getting really hyped up and then crushed. The same thing happened with the "godslayer" magic and the magic users from saber tooth

That's true. Fairy Tail is really sticking to the shounen textbook, so I don't think it can be avoided. At least with Sabertooth we did get an explanation of a sort: While the mages were individually top class, their guild itself was so miserable that there's no doubt it was holding them immensely back. The hype was pretty much their sole support (discouraging certain enemies, but never the likes of Fairy Tail). Otherwise they had to live with the knowledge that if they failed even once they would get humiliated and kicked out of their own guild. Failures tend to teach much more than easy victories, so it's understandable the wizards of Sabertooth would be hard shells but nothing within.

[TwisT]

Anyone know about what chapter the anime is on? Was thinking of starting the manga too.

Chapter 311




- - - - -




Kagura was pushing Erza quite well, and she didn't even unsheathe her sword. Luckily Jellal has good ranged magic, and speed magic, so he shouldn't be slaughtered immediately, should Kagura ever manage to find him. Although I wouldn't particularly mind a scene much later where Kagura attacks Jellal, only to be stopped by Erza jumping in the middle.

Not awfully lot happened yet in this chapter otherwise. I first thought it was the princess who opened the door to the dungeon, but was it the person whose face surprised Jellal earlier, since the princess was shown to be elsewhere and quite occupied? I can't anymore recall exactly want kind of a robe that one had. I thought earlier the one who surprised Jellal was some kind of a dimensional drifter from another timeline altered by the Eclipse plan.

[toonice714]

This manga is aptly name fairy "tail". It's a hidden softcore porn/hentai. This is just the epitome of fan service. The next chapter is titled "threesomes".....really?! Really?! Come on. Im all for it but subtlety went riiiight out the window....
Anyways, at least this fight will be really interesting! Hopefully they tag team Minerva then kagura goes down.

[toonice714]

I gotta say this week's chapter totally sucked me in. Never would've seen that coming. I recall a couple lapses since this arc started but never anything that suggested time travel was afoot. Can't wait for next week!!

[RyougaZell]

All the hints Levy gave made it obvious it was Lucy. Still I really like where this is going.

[Archangel]

Wut a tweeeeest~!

[Kraco]

Now all we need is Happy asking the future Lucy how things will proceed between her and Natsu... But maybe she's not in the mood for jokes.

I feel like the fight would have been better without Minerva joining. With only Erza and Kagura, it might have led to an argument about Jellal with any luck.

[NeoCybercoin]

I think there will still be an argument now that the catgirl has been captured. Probably gonna say something bout her not wanting to be saved by someone who sides with Jellal or something.

[Kraco]

314:



- - - - -




Talk about a cliffhanger. I'm not a huge fan of self-sacrifices under these circumstances, so I'd like to count that out. Maybe Kagura only cut herself to clear her head. After more than seven years she shouldn't be foaming so much that she would automatically think the worst out of Erza's words and proceed to try to kill her. If she had used the seven years to turn herself into a mentally deranged avenger stopping at nothing, I doubt she would be so highly regarded by her guild.

Erza getting her ass kicked so one-sidedly isn't like her. She should snap out of it.

[rockmanj]

I just got into this manga and am now current. Can;t believe I was missing out all this time! I am sure Erza isn't dead, but I wonder what that blade does.

[Archangel]

Really? The fanservice is fine but from every other perspective this is a pretty shitty series.

[rockmanj]

Well, I still read Bleach, which, in my opinion, is maddening at times. I don't mind giving this a chance.

[Archangel]

Lol, i like this chick

She gives no fucks about your heartfelt reunion.

[Kraco]

They go all out to make her as evil as they can, while still sticking to the rules more or less. But to be honest it's a battlefield, and everybody should know that, so there's no excuse whatsoever for letting your attention slip. I've always hated those scenes where the hero momentarily ignores their opponent to ogle at an ally. They deserve whatever punishment is given to them during that moment.

[NeoCybercoin]

Chap 316.

Well so much for the extinct dragons. 10K dragons headed towards them in F.Lucy's timeline? Well shit.

[Kensee]

Chap 316.

Well so much for the extinct dragons. 10K dragons headed towards them in F.Lucy's timeline? Well shit.

Time for some dragon-slayers to go ... well, slay some dragons.

Still thinking that Team Fairy Tail is going to do a clean sweep of the tournament (thus winning in grand fashion), but I'm questioning future Lucy a bit now... seems shifty.

[Archangel]

This manga is so fucking bad

[Dark Dragon]

You could just stop reading it.

We're all aware of how much you're disliking the series. There's no need to repeat it every week, it's getting quite old.

Reading a shounen and then complaining about it for being shounen is pretty pointless.

This series uses shounen tropes heavily, because it's precisely the type of audience that it's trying to appeal to. You're out of your mind if you're reading a manga made for teenagers and expects anything other superficial BS.

[Kraco]

It was about the time Gajeel started eating stuff other than his primary element, considering Natsu has been doing that for a long time.

It's a mystery why a shadow thought it would be stronger than fire. There are no shadows in light. It was lucky it faced iron instead, although even that didn't seem to work too well.

Except Natsu didn't eat electricity and gained its power, it was given to him voluntarily. When he just ate the lightning he got sick, remember?

[Kraco]

Wasn't the first alien thing he ate lacrima? After that he broadened his culinary tastes. He did eat for example the god slayer's flames during the S class exam arc. Maybe Gajeel's training was about absorbing other sorts of magic. Unlike Natsu & Co, he didn't fast forward the training time in the spirit realm...

[Archangel]

Maybe this is bulshit and the author is a hack.

[NeoCybercoin]

1st Gen Dragon Slayers can simply absorb/eat magic of 2nd and 3rd Gen. Think that's about the only thing that makes sense right now.

[LaZie]

Have they actually ever showed Laxus or other 2nd/3rd gen dragon slayers eat their element?

[Archangel]

Kobra ate his pet snake's poison.

[Carnage]

Arch, this manga was never good to begin with. Its been one of those weekly time killers from the start, I dont know why you ever expected anything from it in the first place. The writer never wrote an amazing manga before this either, Rave was simply fun in the same sense.

I'm still butthurt it gave some expectations after the time skip.

[Carnage]

Fair enough. The tournament has had its fair share of asspulls, even for this manga's standards.

[LaZie]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoyed Chapter 321.

[Kraco]

So did I. Somehow it felt even refreshing. Laxus is supposed to be strong, so it was good he managed to beat Jura, even if barely. It's possible Jura wasn't anymore in his best condition - carrying a title of unbeatable does that to a person. But nevertheless, it was a big win, especially since it wasn't through any extravagant trickery or other stunts, like suddenly eating raw lachrima...

Gray and Juvia working closer together is always good news in my book. Gray should already get over himself, obey Erza, and form a pair with Juvia.

[Archangel]

Wow... Laxus was originally losing, but then he won. That's a fucking game changer right there, manga will never be the same.

[Kraco]

Wow... Laxus was originally losing, but then he won. That's a fucking game changer right there, manga will never be the same.

You are silly. Such a twist has happened in numerous manga before, even in Fairy Tail itself.

Except that Laxus wasn't originally losing in this fight. But then again, you are silly.

[toonice714]

how is that stupid cat alive....? Whatever...time to power of friendship it up against 1000+ dragons

[Archangel]

Rofl, Erza's new armor is literally asspull armor.

[Kraco]

Rofl, Erza's new armor is literally asspull armor.

If it has so huge magicka/stamina drain that during the brief moment of a single defense and attack it already drained her second origin dry, it's not so overpowered. I guess it means the Sabertooth bitch was so tough even Erza couldn't have beaten her without extraordinary means. The only strange thing is how Erza has come to possess all the remarkable armors. We have been following Fairy Tail for quite some time, but she hasn't acquired too many new ones during this time? It seems like she's always using armors from before the story started.

[Archangel]

When have we have seen limits from Erza? She's limitless and now has a miracle armor, that's bulshit beyond all other bulshits.

Not that it matters mind you, we'll never see this armor again and if we do it will only be so it can be instantly destroyed only to be replaced by another even more asspully armor.

[Kraco]

When have we have seen limits from Erza? She's limitless and now has a miracle armor, that's bulshit beyond all other bulshits.

Did you even read this chapter, huh? The ending let us believe in no ambiguous words that all the whole Fairy Tail team could do was to trudge to Sting's location and stand there. Sting could have kicked their asses without breaking a sweat. How exactly does that ring as "limitless power" in your ears?

[toonice714]

Awww man it's rogue....and he looks gayer and more emo :-/

[LaZie]

Still don't think that person died.

[Kraco]

Why not? She wasn't possibly anything but a figment if she was from the future and has now fulfilled her purpose.

This whole ordeal seems to be ripe with misinformation and confusion. I wonder if Jellal actually has got any ideas of the truth behind it all.

[LaZie]

Chapter 325 is out.

[toonice714]

327 is out......shit just got real

[NeoCybercoin]

Well that actually is pretty awesome.

[Kraco]

These dragons look pretty tough, and they went straight to business.

[toonice714]

Idk.....they kinda just acted like a bunch of lions around easy prey. They are all just very feral seeming right now. They can talk so maybe they're just pissed off

[Kraco]

Everything in this series suggests most dragons are prone to fighting. I guess there might be some less inclined to bash skulls, like Wendy's dragon, but the bulk probably likes nothing more, even those who trained dragon slayers. Because dragon slayers basically were meant to be fighting machines against other dragons in their never-ending war. Maybe the latter dragon slayers actually have the most imperfect image of dragons based on everything else we know. There might not have been enough dragons to fight left for them to realise their "parents" were only bloodthirsty monsters. Even though you can totally see in their personality (again not counting Wendy) that they love few things more than a good fight. So obviously their dragons brought them up to fight, but, alas, there were no targets around anymore, dragons having disappeared.

[toonice714]

328 is out. I'm wondering whether or not zilconis will have any recollection of them. Maybe Lucy's sky dragon magic will be helpful in helping him recall their conversation

[Kraco]

I'm not sure what good that would do. Zilconis was a huge troll, after all, and opposed coexistence with humans, so he ought to like nothing better than fighting and killing some humans here.

Also, don't you mean Wendy's magic?

[toonice714]

Right I meant Wendy. Sorry. Anyways I think this will be cool to see every dragon slayer tackle a Dragon on their own

[NeoCybercoin]

Chap 329 is out. And Cobra is back. Since they needed the extra dragon slayer.

[glitch]

At what chapter does the anime end?

[NeoCybercoin]

Dunno but it's right after the fight with Sting and Rogue

[TwisT]

Chapter 297 is the last chapter where the anime ended. It even ends with the "To be continued..." page that the anime ended with.

[glitch]

Thank you

[Kraco]

With the exception of Sting and Cobra, all the dragon slayers should be very fatigued and even wounded. Cobra shouldn't either be in any perfect shape considering he has been rotting in a prison ever since the incident seven (or even eight) years earlier. If we learned anything from Jellal's time in a prison, Cobra should have lost half of his strength if he was just released.

Nevertheless, despite Wendy being high on my favourite characters list, for being so cute and happy despite her tragic past, for one of these dragons to be slain by her is quite a stretch... I at least hope she will get significant help from some strong people (like Erza or Jellal, etc) to make it more believable. Actually I really hope we will finally get to see what Jellal is capable of to justify having been one of the wizard saints back when he was playing the part of a council member. Like that spell he couldn't finish during the match.

[toonice714]

I think this match up for Lucy will simply see if her techniques are battle worthy. Besides I'm pretty sure Zilconis is gonna be the first dragon to resist dark rouge.

Also these matchups are pretty ridiculous! Come on...Natsu should be fighting the flame dragon and Lucy's should fight the flying one. It's time to switch up these opponents. I'm sure once one of these dragons is wounded, killed or has a "change of heart" I'm sure Dark rouge will make a calculated retreat.

One thing that is bothering me though is that acnologia is a dragon slayer who used his magic so much he became a dragon. I bet acnologia will start killing dragons at some point

[Kraco]

I think this match up for Lucy will simply see if her techniques are battle worthy. Besides I'm pretty sure Zilconis is gonna be the first dragon to resist dark rouge.

It's Wendy, not Lucy. You made the exact same mistake last time...

Zilconis is the best dragon ever. Such a huge troll - and a ladies man to boot. It would be a huge pity if it was killed. It should survive this battle and wander around the world pestering people to no end. Maybe if it turned its coat, it could also train the most wicked enemy of all women as a dragon slayer!


Also these matchups are pretty ridiculous! Come on...Natsu should be fighting the flame dragon and Lucy's should fight the flying one. It's time to switch up these opponents.

No, I don't think so. I imagine a fire dragon's fire resistance is much higher than a human's who just happened to be trained a dragon slayer. A fire dragon would have been born with the resistance. However, another type of a dragon likely wouldn't have any special resistance against fire (or any other dragon slayer specialty that is not also its own).


One thing that is bothering me though is that acnologia is a dragon slayer who used his magic so much he became a dragon. I bet acnologia will start killing dragons at some point

Who knows. I don't think even Zeref seemed really able to figure Acnologia out.

[NeoCybercoin]

I thought they said that Acnologia was a Dragon Slayer who absorbed the essance of every dragon he killed and thus becoming what he is now.

[toonice714]

Oh right Wendy...lol my bad. Anyways I dunno I just think Natsu would do better to eat those flames from the fire dragon before getting into a pissing match on who's flames are hotter. We have already been there with the "God-slayer" magic. Btw was that just lost magic or was it theoretically taught by a "god". I don't recall if the first guy who was the flame godslayer was taught it or just obtained it from beyond the void that hades breached. I only remember hades and his crew having a myriad of lost magic.

I hope these dragon battles go slow because I think it would be a great way to get back on topic for the search of igneel and the other dragons that just "disappeared". With the exception of sting and rouge's dragons. They were really driving that plot home then just got derailed with other silly side stories that really contributed nothing but ways to bring Jellal/Gerard or whatever they're calling him now back. (I.e edolas)

[LaZie]

Chapter 331 is out. Natsu you sly dog you!

[Kraco]

Yeah, Natsu received some nice service. No wonder it fired him up once more.

I wonder if Millianna attacked Jellal or some remaining dragon spawn. She isn't exactly any genius, so you never know; the whole world might be threatened by the dragons but she could very well choose this moment to settle a personal score. Though unlike Kagura, I doubt Millianna poses any threat whatsoever to Jellal.

Wendy got a better start than I thought. But I still hope Zilconis won't be so utterly defeated he would disappear. He's too cool.

[Archangel]

They really should just focus on the fanservice and the comedy, this chapter was hilarious. It's when things try to get serious that it all goes to shit.

[NeoCybercoin]

Pretty sure Millianna is a dumb shit and attacks Jellal right now. Despite seeing how he helps Erza up.
I wonder if they are gonna fight a dragon closer to their own element or 'eat' their magic. Since Natsu got his idea from almost being eaten.

[toonice714]

332 is out.
See was that so hard? Now let's pair these matchups a little bit better. So now they have the flame dragon riding with them. I wonder if the teachers of the dragon slayer magic were also kings of their element. Like was Wendy and gajeel's dragons kings or queens? Anyways this chapter was short but still kinda informative. Lol Natsu didn't even throw any punches....this guy just starts eating.

[Kraco]

See was that so hard? Now let's pair these matchups a little bit better. So now they have the flame dragon riding with them.

Even you didn't foresee the fire dragon suddenly switching sides. I still think Natsu's attacks wouldn't have done nearly as much damage against this dragon than some other, random dragon. But I guess if his stomach is bottomless, he could have eaten this particular dragon to death if the wyrm hadn't saved himself by turning his coat suddenly.

I wouldn't expect things to go so smoothly with the rest of them, but if they can fight them 2vs1, it might make a difference.

I should have known a weekly shounen manga wouldn't yet show what I mostly wanted to see: If Millianna attacked Jellal or not.

[toonice714]

Nah I wasn't calling the side switch, I don't think anyone could've called that. Honestly I thought zilconis might have switched before atlas flame. Which btw makes me wonder how strong this persuasive dragon magic rouge is wielding is even that strong. I mean if a fond memory or respect for another dragon was enough to turn atlas, what's to say that an asswhoopin from acnologia might have the same effect. They could get trashed then be like "forget this two-toned haired fairy I'm outta here"

Anyways I think that for FT and the collective of dragonslayers and mages alike to have any success in these upcoming bouts they need to make these matchups more catered to their strengths

[Kraco]

Was Atlas in the anti-human while Igneel was in the pro-human faction? If Atlas was in the pro-human as well, and was just controlled by Rogue, then breaking that mind control would be more plausible. However, for an anti-human dragon it would make little difference at the moment: They get to fight humans, so what does it matter how it started? Naturally later any dragon, if broken free of the control, would want to slay Rogue for the insolence alone. But for the moment anti-humans would likely just play along to get an extra chance to wreak havoc.

Especially someone like Zilconis wouldn't even need any mind controlling. I bet that dragon would have volunteered for the trip if asked.

[Kraco]

333:


I hope Ul trying to assassinate Rogue isn't the trigger that ultimately turns him evil. That would be too transparent. Nevertheless, it looks like Ul hasn't changed that much from her time in Grimoire Heart if she's so ready to preemptively slay people, based on a theory.

[Carnage]

I hope Hiro Mashima writes a Ul hentai after all this is done.

[NeoCybercoin]

Ch. 334 is out. And yes I do hope he makes a hentai about Ul...I mean.....look at those hips!!

Also, Gray....BAM

So they killed off Gray and have someone who can control TIME lamenting herself and still looking for redemption. She will revive Gray and then die in the progress. Then it has come full circle. Gray saving Ultear...Ultear saving Gray.

[Kraco]

So they killed off Gray and have someone who can control TIME lamenting herself and still looking for redemption. She will revive Gray and then die in the progress. Then it has come full circle. Gray saving Ultear...Ultear saving Gray.

It's certainly looking like it'll go down that way. A shame, though, to see those hips... Umm... I mean to see that splendid mage go. Actually the execution was quite annoying with Gray suddenly behaving like some amateur paying no attention to his surroundings in the middle of a battlefield. Gray saving Juvia (once again) was sweet, of course, but it should have been in better style. On the other hand, if Ul is to perish in the process, maybe that means Crime Sorciere will disband and Jellal will join Fairy Tail. That would allow Jellal and Erza to finally get married, and Fairy Tail would get another S class mage.

[Carnage]

Ul won't die. Nobody dies. This is Onepiece, remember?

[NeoCybercoin]

Yeah but then Fairy Tail would be harboring one of the most wanted criminals.

[Kraco]

Yeah but then Fairy Tail would be harboring one of the most wanted criminals.

Doesn't matter. If Fairy Tail wanted to do it, they would do it. Even the king wouldn't dare to stop them. Especially if they survive this dragon onslaught. The council is one big joke, anyway, and they wouldn't have done anything at all in this battle, either, if Jellel hadn't asked them to fetch the prisoner (and that's all they probably will do). They have zero credibility, so if they push it too far, they will lose the support of all the guilds and cease to exist at all. Should Fairy Tail say Jellal was instrumental in this battle and will be in the future ones against Zeref and Acnologia, that's it.

[Kraco]

335:







Looks like Ul did join the scarce company of people dying in Fairy Tail. It would be quite anticlimactic if she somehow revived after this. I guess it's like mother, like daughter...

Steep price for one minute for an individual, but at the same time quite appropriate in the bigger picture.

[Archangel]

SO UNEXPECTED!


It would be quite anticlimactic if...

Then it's happening.

[NeoCybercoin]

Still......dat ass.

[Roko]

337



Talk about an anticlimactic and disappointing ending to the arc. Of course future Lucy is still alive. Guess the only purpose this whole thing served to do was show that none of the dragonslayers could defeat an actual dragon.

[Kraco]

Yeah, I have to say this was really anticlimactic. It doesn't feel like Natsu had to put in so much effort to defeat future-Rogue. I'm quite happy none of the dragons were defeated, especially Zilconis (it was also nice how the giant troll got himself trolled by the princess). It would have been pity if they were so weak these mages all worn-out by the tournament could have beaten them.

Looks like pretty much nobody died, following true Fairy Tail traditions. Except for Ul.

[Death BOO Z]

So, I just finished catching up. good to see that there's a live discussion of fairy-tail.
didn't dig much the timeskip, felt that it didn't serve any purpose (besides giving the new weapon time to be built and charged) and mostly screwed up the ages for me.

Also, I don't know if it's been suggested or not, but is it possible that the bad dragon (Ontologica?) is actually rouge\shadow turned dragon in some sort of time loop?

[Carnage]

I doubt that, Acnologia was said to have killed many dragons. Considering how much trouble the present-day dragon slayers had, I dont think rouge has the ability to pull that off.

[Kraco]

I agree. Assuming not too much we have heard of Acnologia isn't false history, I don't think it really matches. Right now future-Rogue couldn't even beat Natsu who hadn't had a single break from too many fights before this one. So, it woud need to be twice-the-future-Rogue would would travel back far enough to become one of the first dragon slayers and then Acnologia. But I have a feeling the history would have been different if a highly accomplished dragon slayer had appeared out of nowhere. After all, it was dragons who first decided to turn humans into such, so the first ones must have been quite rudimentary indeed.

However, there's something else that could partially bridge them. Rogue seemed to have a problem with an external, intelligent shadow during the fight with Gajeel. I don't know what manner of a demon it was or if it was actually sent in by the future-Rogue (or if future-Rogue is possessed by it as well), but I wouldn't consider it impossible that same thing latched itself onto one ancient dragon slayer and caused it to develop into Acnologia.

[LaZie]

Chapters 338, 339, and 340 are out! Next week will have a triple chapter issue as well.

[Kraco]

The party and Natsu's surprise were quite nice in my opinion. A more relaxed scene after a heavy fight is always good. It feels like a huge stretch they could really keep the whole dragon incident a secret, but since this is Fairy Tail, I guess it suits the series.

As soon as the old woman appeared and the letter was revealed to be from Ul, I knew that's who the woman was. I'm kind of surprised the Jellal and Meredy didn't, after all the time they spent with her. Too bad with Doranbolt having erased the whole dragon festival from the minds of all officials, there's no way they can pardon Jellal. But then again, it's the utterly useless council that is only concerned about their own power and standing, so I doubt they would pardon their own mother. I was hoping to see a parting scene with Erza and Jellal, but I guess that was too much to ask for from a story so unconcerned with romance (after all, even Gray seem to grow only colder toward Juvia).

Lastly I was quite dissatisfied with how Zeref turned out. The man has some mental issues to so quickly flip from sad ruminations to wanting to slaughter all humans. Unless he was just saying that so that Mavis would arrange for Natsu to slay him.

[NeoCybercoin]

Ahh...Natsu certainly made me laugh when came bursting out.
And we learn a bit about the upcoming arc. The door to Hades? Tartaros?

[LaZie]

Tartaros, the third guild of the Baram Alliance, along with Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart.

[Death BOO Z]

probably going to have some sort of crazy magical device. should complete the trio with Nirvana and whatever the 2nd guild had.

[Carnage]

What did Oracon Seis try to accomplish again?

[Kraco]

What did Oracon Seis try to accomplish again?

They tried to capture Nirvana, which was a device to turn good people into bad people and vice versa. A perfect tool for chaos and mayhem but little else, really. Their leader's goal was to destroy the world, like every super villain should, so Nirvana would have suited him well.

[Kraco]

There's a special chapter out.



Without spoiling too much, it returns to the already all but forgotten bet the two FT teams made when the tournament was launching. This was a really good special in my opinion. I'd also love to see this animated, now that the anime apparently continues after all.

[Archangel]

Not to repeat myself but if FT just focused on the comedy and fanservice the whole experience would be much nicer. It's only when it tries to take itself seriously that it starts going to shit.

[LaZie]

Chapter 347 is out!

[Kraco]

It would have been pretty pitiful if Lucy & Co couldn't have beaten those thieving treasure hunters. They weren't even mages, after all. In the beginning of the series things would have been different, but now after fighting the top dark guilds, dragons, and everything they are different persons.

[toonice714]

353 is out. Pretty watered down chapters as of late with exception to the info given about igneel attempting to destroy the book of zeref and failing. I hope this means we will get to eventually see more dragons in the present time because so far zilconis and atlas have resurfaced but none of the others. Im betting on the day they all disappeared they probably banned together to destroy the book of zeref and failed.

also im just gonna say that with all the fan service in these chapters that this guy should just do an official hentai......there i said it. It usually boredline there anyways >_>

[Kraco]

also im just gonna say that with all the fan service in these chapters that this guy should just do an official hentai......there i said it. It usually boredline there anyways >_>

Nah, this is a far cry from borderline hentai. This isn't even an ecchi harem series. Think of To-Love Ru for comparison. I mean, Fairy Tail doesn't even have bare breasts.

Anyway 354 is already out, and it looks like something big is indeed brewing. We suddenly got demon slayers and talk about gates of hell, so maybe we will actually get enemies comparable to dragons.

[Carnage]

This story would be so much better if it were hentai.

[Kraco]

355:

I wonder how long Lucy will try to maintain her already long lost modesty. She should just be cool about it like Erza (and the dudes, naturally). She's only making a fool out of herself. I will forgive Wendy, since she's still a kid.

I'm looking forward to the demons. As cliched as it is (not that everything else in this story wouldn't be), it's still a good course to strong enemies. After all, it's a bit strange how previously totally unknown super strong wizards just keep appearing out of nowhere.

[Kraco]

356:



This time the enemies look quite strong, even though eradicating the council of uselessness hardly impressed me. In fact Tartaros did a big service to the whole world of magic by getting rid of those old fools. Yet still, to die without a fight... They were even worse than I ever imagined, which is sad in the sense that it also makes Jellal's shady past look less of an achievement. Speaking of Jellal, I hope this "greatest battle ever" will drive him to Fairy Tail (and Erza's considerable bosom) for good. Now there's even no council after him. With Ultear gone, the power of his independent guild is severely lowered and I doubt would amount to much against these demons. He should join forces with the Fairies.

[NeoCybercoin]

So what? The Demon Slayer....serves Zeref the man who made demons? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

[Kraco]

The demon slayer is a demon himself. It actually makes a bunch of sense: It's not like demons would have any loyalty or love for their own kind (they would love nothing at all but themselves), yet they might know their own kind the best, which would make them expert slayers of demons, provided their power is sufficient, which shouldn't be a problem for this guy. On the other hand, these demons were made by Zeref, so only Zeref knows what sort of characters they are. They seem to worship Zeref as well, despite the man himself not having done overly much for a long time, I believe.

[toonice714]

This arc seems pointless.....the only thing that may come of this arc is info one why igneel wanted to destroy E.N.D. Besides that its just a couple more enemies that will be dispatched by inexplicable raises in power for the FT gang. Lets face it the jumps in a biliary in this series are unfounded but it's cool to watch anime....and I'm invested at this point. Really I hope they finally go back to the central story about trying to find out why all the dragons left on year 777 day 7 at 7:07

[Kraco]

Really I hope they finally go back to the central story about trying to find out why all the dragons left on year 777 day 7 at 7:07

This story basically has three things of interest that have remained for some time: The disappearance of the remaining few dragons at the same time, the remaining three of the four most powerful wizards, and what's in Fairy Tail's basement. The dragon thing is the oldest mystery, and honestly we have learned so much of dragons of late that such a little thing it doesn't anymore feel so awesomely mysterious. But perhaps it will still be saved for the last, along with Zeref himself. Although what's in the basement might be crusial for the final showdown. I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw the rest of the Wizard Four, though. They don't really seem to give a shit even when the whole world is under a threat.

[toonice714]

I don't even remember the wizard four or the basement. Is that what every guild master of FT knows?

[NeoCybercoin]

The basement is something every Guild Master of FT knows about yeah.

[Kraco]

359:


I bet Erza wanted to go with a team that guards Jellal... But then again, I doubt Loki would know his address, since he hasn't got one, being a fugitive, and the women hanging around Jellal probably wouldn't have been easy to seduce. Although I would have liked to see a scene of any man trying to seduce Ultear... Nor is he anyway a loser so easily taken out, like the regular council members seem to be.

The Natsu vs bomber fight could be good.

This might seem harsh but I am never concerned about the out comes of these fights bc they really hold no weight. Honestly, if one of the more powerful members of FT loses, natsu gray or Ezra will beat them. If one of them loses then one of the remaining 3 will step up and win. There's no real consequences to these fights. They just look good. Seems like its been that way for awhile now.
The same could be said for almost any manga but I slightly disagree. If Luffy's gang loses and someone shows up to pick up the slack it leaves slack to be picked up in other areas making certain plot points more interesting. (I.e when people save ussop and nami it impressed upon them to get stronger) Unfortunately there are no definitive limits for the majority of the cast to determine threat level or strength. These current "demons/demonslayers" are as intimidating as flies. The first "godslayer" mages seemed powerful before acnologia showed up because the mages with Hades seemed to require effort to beat. People like guildarts, acnologia and at one point jellal/gerard (or whatever the hell he calls any of his three presences in the manga) have a strong presence but these new enemies seem lame. Hell even the sabertooth guildmaster seemed like a tough guy but then they botched that....these enemies have killed the counsel members. The most lack luster mages presented this far. The only thing these guys have done that was mildly impressive was beat the shell of Atlas flame. Until they say they've tangled with some dragons or something else equally noteworthy to stimulate some coherent growth in the FT gang, it's all kinda moot...

360 is out.
That's a pretty handy ability. Too bad natsu will find a way around it. Otherwise that would've been a tough ability to beat given the majority of ppl who rely on hand to hand combat

[Kraco]

There seems to be a delay, so the opponent could avoid the repercussions by killing Jaguar before the explosion happens. I'd assume the explosion doesn't happen anymore if the mage is dead. It would take a one-shot kill, though, and since the demon is tough, it could be difficult. But hardly impossible considering Natsu was scoring hits all the time. He simply needs to hit hard enough to scorch the demon beyond redemption.

But of course this is a series where the good guys never kill even the worst villains, so they need to find the more difficult road, whatever it might be.

Ch 361

Man that old council member is a dick.

Ch 361

Man that old council member is a dick.

And that surprised nobody. The useless council has always been composed of dicks, fools, and criminals. Jellal is the exception because, while he fits the description by being a criminal, he's not actually a weak loser like the rest have always been.

[Death BOO Z]

I'm actually going to say that the old council members are the key to whatever shit weapon someone's chasing now.
they are all guarding it with their lives: as long as they live, the weapon cannot activate. literately.
it'd give him an excuse to be such a colossal shit. seriously, a pregnant woman?

[Kraco]

I want to see Acnologia again. Preferably so that he wouldn't be doing Zeref's bidding. They are somehow connected, but perhaps the bond isn't such a tight one, at least anymore. Considering the... ahem... high quality of the story writing in Fairy Tail, I wouldn't naturally put it beyond the plot to have every enemy down to the last blood sucking mosquito of the swamp to be somehow created by Zeref, but maybe, just maybe it won't all go down so simply. Acnologia used to be a dragon slayer and even if he's now a villain, he's been proven to be a solitary one and thus might not serve any greater purpose in anybody's plan. That is, he could do anything at all, not simply serve the role of the second last boss before Zeref.

[Carnage]

Are you saying the pregnant woman scenario was corny or that Lucy should have obviously chosen the old geezer?

[Death BOO Z]

I don't remember anyone doing a sadistic choice in FT. so having this guy choose his own life over that of an pregnant woman (double whammy sympathy factor!) means we are really supposed to hate him. and it was never required of us to hate someone so much, so this reeks of a plan to make us hate him and then create a reversal.

[Kraco]

That's hard to believe, considering this geezer was only concerned about his own comfort, so much so that even the grandchild didn't matter. He might indeed know something but if he had to choose between putting the knowledge to use in a fight or just escaping and hiding somewhere nice, he would choose the latter, for sure. The council members seem to be selected based on their uselessness and scumbaggery.

[Carnage]

I really think this guy would make more money drawing hentai. I mean I know it's 2-D but the t&a is 80% the reason I still read this manga.

[toonice714]

364 is out and things are starting to look up. You have my attention again FT. I guess cobra and crew are going to dance with jellal/Gerard or whatever

[Kraco]

Haha, the magic council really is awesome. Every single one of them are either corrupt, otherwise a total scumbag, or a loser (or all of those). If Fairy Tail saves the world once again, the best part of it all is the demolition of the council, while getting rid of the demon invasion is only a bonus. At least these demons were a temporal danger, whereas the council has been around for a long time, doing its evil deeds unchecked.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jellal's power. Although I'm not yet 100% sure that fight will go on till the end or happen at all. Jellal might have other, better uses for these crooks.

Ch-365 is out.

This new chapter is going to spawn some very interesting doujins

[Death BOO Z]

this really is uncomfortable..

[toonice714]

How so? The fan service is clearly catering to the S&M crowd. Earlier Mira had tentacles everywhere lol. It's about time for a loli character to be overpowered by a giant enemy

I wouldn't be so sure that's ever going to happen. Wendy has been spared quite remarkably of the kind of fan service Lucy and Erza are all the time providing. Even the mixed bath showed pretty much nothing of Wendy, if memory serves. This of course makes sense if the manga is to be sold in the West in large numbers.

[Death BOO Z]

so. regarding the latest chapter.
missing father? demonic growth speed evil clone or time travel?
