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

SatansBestBuddy posted:Wait, what? When did this happen? During the Oracion Seis arc. Gerard used an ability called Flame of Rebuke or something like that to let Natsu use Dragon Force against Zero. Zogundar posted:Is that really what he meant though? Even ignoring the anime arc (Which I'm not sure you should since it's supposedly canon) there's only four of the original members worth freeing including himself, since I'm relatively sure Brain/Zero died, and Richard/Hoteye joined Team Friendship. I think Brain is alive, but Racer is dead. And Angel is useless now because Lucy took her keys. So only three members worth freeing, including himself.

Gyges posted:At this point I kind of have to wonder how it is that the Magic Council always has such a hate boner for Fairy Tail. Apparently they've been a collection of the world's greatest mages for over a century, save the world on a fairly regular basis, and all the most important people apparently were members at one point or another. Is the not-king of Edolas just pissy because Markov won't get rid of the embarrassing pictures of not-king of Edolas' initiation? It's because they cause too much property damage.

tsob posted:I want a Dragonslayer, or perhaps some kind of magic-user anathema to them that has a puppy sidekick now. One who gets on with Happy, chases Charle and is scared shitless of Pantherlily perhaps for the full range of reactions. Maybe the God Slayers will get dogs. I wonder what the deal with God Slayers is. Did they actually learn their powers from gods? What does it even mean to be a god in FTverse? Are there gods still around? Did some of the God Slayers actually kill gods? Would it be possible for one of the God Slayers to become a god, like Acnologia became a dragon?

Some of Lucy's summons are melee and oh god why do I feel like I'm picking party members for an RPG boss fight Their best bet is probably either Gemini copying Natsu or some kind of stalling tactic to give Lucy and Gemini an opportunity to use Uranometria.

I'm actually not going to call bullshit here. Natsu had Wendy there to heal him while Lucy stalled, and his trick of positioning the affected part of his body to allow himself to eat the explosion makes sense.

Rodyle posted:Not that the chairman wasn't being dumb but... it kind of seems like the demons are being just as dumb? I mean, he's under their thumb anyway and is supposedly the only one who can use this apparently extremely useful super archive, kind of seems like they've thrown away something really valuable! He won't be able to use Super Archive after Face goes off anyway.

tsob posted:The Face system they're trying to gain access to will render all magic void across the entire continent in perpetuity, leaving only them with power since they don't use magic but demon power. Which makes you wonder why he worked with them in the first place. Having magic seems like a pretty sweet deal to me, why would you help someone get rid of it for you and everyone else? I assumed Kyouka brainwashed him, but come to think of it, that would mean he's a demon now and would be able to use Super Archive after Face anyway. Prediction: Face will succeed, but Fairy Tail will use Ex-Balls to get their powers back. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Feb 1, 2014 |

Serious Frolicking posted:Cana's 'arc' just revealed that she is largely incompetent and kind of dumb even when given an enormous power boost. Her latest bit was probably the first time she has done anything but get drunk in the background successfully. I think she might have won a fight in the tournament too, but I'm probably mistaken. It wasn't a direct fight, but she won a game in the tournament with Fairy Glitter.

DeadBonesBrook posted:One thing that puzzles me about Fairy Tail is how the creator is able to knock out four chapters like that, a feat he has done several times in the past (I recall Zeref's introduction was something like 3 chapters in one week). Every other weekly manga author is made out to just barely be completing a weekly strip alongside no social life and only a few hours sleep every night. Mashima's schedule seems no different than anyone else and I can't recall anytime he has ever missed a week due to illness/personal issues. I wonder how that relates to FT being faster-paced than most shonen manga. I think Mashima just thinks fast (which isn't the same as being a good writer).

chumbler posted:I want to say it gets by on the strength of the characters, but I honestly can't even agree with that that much. Natsu is bland as hell, and while I like Lucy, Juvia, and Gray they get constantly sidelined. That pretty much just leaves Erza to carry the series, which she ably does. Maybe it's conditioning or desensitization, but Erza has been shown to be weird and kind of a little dumb enough that I'm okay with her choices of outfits, exploitative as they may be. That said, I don't think we've really had a strong arc in a while, probably not since the guild vs. guild fight way early on. A few decent moments, sure, but basically everything after Wendy's introduction has been kind of lame. I liked the tournament arc; it had a bunch of weird competitions that weren't straightforward fights, Erza fighting ALL the monsters, Cana actually accomplishing something with Fairy Glitter, and some focus on characters who weren't from FT. This supports my view that tournament and rescue arcs tend to be good, while war arcs and arcs where a bunch of protagonists fight a single powerful villain tend to be bad.

chumbler posted:I look forward to Lucy finally getting to do something cool on her own. And by do something cool on her own I of course mean immediately find soeone else and then they do everything, because Lucy is never allowed to do something cool on her own Kana already had her moment this arc, though. And Lucy can never do something cool on her own, because her power is specifically summoning other people to do things for her. Interpreting "on her own" in the broader sense you probably meant, she can summon Cancer to cut everyone loose, I suppose.

Zogundar posted:I.. guess you could say "Keith/Skull Man made him do it" to answer some of the questionable actions Silver did but that still leaves the "Filthy/disgusting name" line in reference to Gray as making little sense (Unless someone wants to dig up the raw to see if multiple translators got it wrong!) I'm assuming the "Filthy/disgusting name" line was him pretending to be a loyal zombie. It feels less tacked-on than Ultear's backstory/motivation, at least.

Thunderbro posted:Nope. Every single time he's met Natsu he's gone "So you're not strong enough yet huh...". The reason he cares about Natsu is because he has the potential to one day kill him. He basically has psycho mode where his powers are active, and good guy mode where they're mostly sealed but he indiscriminately kills everything around him without control. So he wants to die. What about him wanting to kill all the other humans because he considers them evil, though? Which is especially silly because it's not like the demons are any better. Edit: Or did he only want to kill all humans in psycho mode? I thought that was actually his goal when he was "good", while the "evil" Zeref wanted to do basically the same thing with even less of a reason, but I don't really remember.

Spiderdrake posted:It's weird how shonen always seems to bend toward the main character having the least interesting personality and powers. Least interesting personality, maybe, but I don't agree about powers. Luffy's rubber body and Naruto's Shadow Clones are pretty interesting, for example. In this particular case, I'm not sure why Gajeel's powers are any more interesting than Natsu's.

So Avatar is down to Arlock, Abel, and D6 now. Arlock's "Just as planned!" is obviously an attempt by Mashima to preserve tension, but it doesn't really work. I wonder why Gray was going to kill Frosch. I don't think Mashima is enough of a hack to forget about something like that completely, but he's definitely enough of a hack to hand-wave it away instead of going anywhere with it. I'm not thrilled with the revelation a few chapters ago that there were other branches of Avatar; Zeref cultists aren't a very compelling villain concept, and I'm not interested in seeing several more arcs of Avatar. I do like the running gag of Lucy turning normal kicks and punches into shouted attack names. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Apr 30, 2015 |

I was impressed too. When I read the previous chapter I'd assumed Erza had just won immediately by BELIEVING IN HER FRIENDS AND TRYING HARDER the way Fairy Tail characters sometimes do, and was relieved to see that Ajeel wasn't down yet and wouldn't be beaten by Erza alone. Also interesting that Erza fought Ajeel instead of Dimaria, even though Dimaria is implied to be he one with powers similar to her own. Speculation time: Wahl Icht has some kind of ability to trump rule-setting magic, which he used to undo Freed's barrier, much as Marin can trump spacial magic.

Nilbop posted:This has become one of those mangas where I'm cheering for the villains just because of how implausible their losses are and how the main cast refuse to do anything new or interesting. Is there a new chapter out or are you talking about Ajeel? Because his loss seemed pretty plausible to me.
