Next week: Erza's childhood friend that a Gerard got killed will come back to life. I really liked that Lisanna was dead. She was much more interesting that way. Now, what? Another girl without any noteworthy aspects is in the guild.

Um, she can turn into an ostrich thing, what do you mean "without any noteworthy aspects"

Also what others said about making Mirajane a bad-rear end again

Did you ever notice that in spite of Natsu tossing fire left and right every single fight, he never actually sets anything on fire? You'd think that a fire blast the size of a football field would ignite something.

Um, it's magic fire

The latest anime episode reminded me that this bitch is Ultear, Gerard's partner in crime the first time he appeared.

Am I going crazy or does Master Hades looks like the guild master from Phantom Lord? Am I dense for NOT realizing its him, or do they just look similar? There are only so many evil grins to draw. I don't even know anymore.

So wait, the guy attacks her guild and beats the hell out of her and her partners specifically and then later joins her guild and she falls for him cause he might be a nice guy after all?

Is anyone else concerned about how stupidly-easy it was for the evil guild to utterly destroy a ship full of supposedly high-level mages on their way to the island to arrest a group of supposedly high-level mages? That was just too easy.

The mages were superpowerful but the ship was not! Also they all don't know how to swim.

After such an interesting set-up, I'm hoping this arc doesn't end with Natsu eating some bullshit magical item and going to town on some villains (Oh hey, its Jellal? No prob, I'll chug some etherion crystals. Need to fight Brain/Zero? Thanks for the golden flame Jellal!). Perhaps Mashima will be really unpredictable and start to bring the dragons into the mix (though I hope he saves that for a while, because that seems like something that would come near the end of the manga).

I don't understand, the bomb was still attached to Lisa Anna. The bomb was between the two of them. It's not like she was shielding her from the blast.I demand answers, unless I am grossly misunderstanding the nature of that spell?

On another note, since I just watched the latest episode of the anime, The council guy on the destroyed boat was the same guy that arrested Gerard. So there is hope for Gerard to appear in this arc yet

I got to admit, I thought it was a woman in the manga. BUT he wasn't hypersexualized, so I guess it makes sense that he's not a woman.

They laid it out pretty well. The girl that looks like Ur/Ul called Ultear is her daughter. The girl who wants revenge, Meldey, is probably in love with Ultear. Ultear likely blames Gray for Ur's death so Meldey now blames Grey for hurting Ultear indirectly.

I thought Ultear didn't care about her mother though? I remember her having a conversation with someone (maybe Jellal?) saying she was weak and it was her fault she couldn't kill Deliora without using that ice spell that kills the user.

Angry Grimace posted:

Doesn't it seem a lot more likely that "Meredy" is supposed to be "Melody?"

I mean, that's at least a real name. It wouldn't be the firs time MS's FT translator's missed the L-R to get a name wrong; he went with "Reira" instead of Layla for Ms. Heartfilia too (which was just clearly wrong).

What about Gellal being the official name, despite Gerard being an actual name? You can't expect them to make perfect sense in english.

Maybe she'll merge with the spirit of the first master and gain the power of an S-class mage and defeat all the baddies because this this loving point, anything goes jesus christ this manga

I'm ok with dumb or uninspired powers/magic,but I'm more worried about all the simultaneous fights/subplots going on that are diluting the story's focus (3 fights, the Gray/Ultear business, the new child from the last page, Kana's daddy issues, and I guess maybe that guy from the council. I'm not saying have a layered or complicated story is bad, it's just not great for the narrative sometimes.

Centzon Totochtin

I don't know, it looked like Gildarts got hit and lost his footing due to the tree being messed with, but I don't necessarily think that he lost to Bluenote yet. But I wouldn't mind more Erza

As if Fairy Tail fanservice wasn't already through the roof, Erza dons a catgirl armor? Really? Wow.

Pretty sure she used that armor in the Nirvana Arc (when she got bit by the snake dragonslayer's snake).

I'm not sure if the last page necessarily means Gerard is coming back, it might just be a throwback to whatever link or connection he has with Erza. In any case I'm REALLY hoping he doesn't come back it, but knowing Fairy Tail, he probably split himself in two again (like from the Etherion arc) or some dumb poo poo like that

Maybe the guild will somehow stumble onto a 4th dragonslayer (not Laxus) through some miracle or Igneel will show up and save them or the power of friends and nakama and BURNING SPIRIT saves them once again. Anything but Gerard, please.

See, it made perfect sense for Erza to get a literal power of friendship boost. She was getting hit with the power of her friends while fighting to protect them. It was all down to Erza, who was in a total shounen protagonist scenario. It would be stranger if she did not get one.

On the other hand, Gerard's inclusion was completely irrelevant. Erza could hear him for no reason and he knew she was in trouble for no reason. The chapter would really have flowed better without Gerard.

Besides, is it really so endearing to be told "You have red hair, so now your last name is Red"?


Maybe the lizardmen jailors beating up Gerard is the mangaka's way of joking about how the whole Gerard angle has been beaten to death

It's a good thing Erza's hair wasn't brown or she could have ended up as Erza Fudgehead.
