Seriously Natsu, your childhood crush who you thought was dead has been back for a while now. Get you some Lisanna.

Like Mashima is ever going to sink any of the various fan pairings for his main character or the other major popular ones (at least I'm pretty sure Natsu, Erza, and Lucy are top three in the polls. Maybe Ichiya beat them once.)

I forgot that Lisanna/Natsu was a thing. I also had to look up who Bluenote was.

It is very hard to remember Fairy Tail things

Yeah I don't remember poo poo in Fairy Tail. I think it's something I learned from Bleach and Naruto, though, to suppress how terrible the plot flows.

The Gray/Juvia thing is dumb because Gray clearly likes her but is a big dumb baby and is a jerk about it for some reason.
He has issues because his family all died and yeah I get it but there's no reason to dwell on it like some will they won't they prime time NBC bullshit.

I guess maybe it's central to her character or something but it would totally own if they started doing combination magic.

Isn't the bigger issue that he was kind of forced into bringing Lisanna back and he doesn't give half a poo poo about her? Like, oh hey lets focus on Dance Mage instead of ol' whatsherface levels of not giving a poo poo.

Are you sure of anything beyond the three Fs of Fairy Tail: Fire, Friendship and Fanservice?

Because I'm not. I honestly don't even remember who Lisanna is or why she was in Egodoltas or whatever that lovely world was called. she was there, right?

I like my coffee with cream and lsd.
For all I know Lisanna just evaporated into dust over this time skip because everyone forgot about her. Though she's probably been off with Mirajane and Elfman training to transform into more wacky, but useless things.

Spin-Granny is legitimately one of my favorite characters!

Agreed. There's just something about Fairy Tail plots that become forgettable the second you move onto the next plot.
And they should totally do more Unision Raids. I remember the Gray/Juvia one from the anime, it was a cute dance. Can't remember if it was anime only though.

There's a Z list Fairly Tail member who does dance magic. I don't think he's ever even got a line of dialog but he's like that guy who dresses like a Pacific Islander and never, ever takes a job.

I fully expect this to end with Natsu Beating the Evil Out of him because there's no way Hiro will let that sweet Bishonen money slip through his fingers.

Also, because that's just Fairy Tail rules. We know we're getting a heartfelt speech and Natsu punching him with fire. The only questions are 1) How hard is the punch? and 2) How big is the fire?

Nope, this is a standard Jellal plot. At Mashima finally listened to the fans and isn't making everyone Jellal again. Instead Gray will play the part!

You know, with all this melodrama I'm hoping Erza's storyline is something completely silly and stupid, like she gambled her way into debt and is working it off in a cake factory, but never makes a cent because she keeps messing up "I Love Lucy" style.

Really just anything that has nothing at all to do with Jellal.

It's literally just going to be her working for him while they stare at each other with doe eyes and more will they won't they prime time nbc poo poo. I can't even remember who inferior-mystogan even is anymore. Even worse I would rather the manga simply not address their sexual lives at all but "we lived together for six months and didn't touch each other" comes off as either the R is silent or just really messed up.

Also lord the whole scary-go-round of new ultra evil zeref worshiping freaks is just self-parody now. Haven't they killed like 93 of these buffoons already? Is there some factory making more of them?

edit: this chapter was good I just laughed out loud at that part. All of these new faces, soon to be super punched.

It's even more boring than it sounds because Mashima has already beaten the audience over the head with the fact that Zeref is this whole tragic figure who has driven himself mad/amnesiac because of his curse.

We get it Mashima; these mooks are even dumber than the usual idiots who worship deathgods that would just as soon dust them as look at them because their god is a false one. Christ.

I like that he'll only temporarily not trust Grey. Why? Because a future dude told him so, which isn't really not trusting Grey. Unless I'm forgetting Grey's solemn pinky swear to never, ever, join a super evil demon guild.

Also I really hate Frosh and think Natsu would be more correct to wait a couple days at least before starting his find Grey trip.

I honestly hope that it actually is the case that a dumbass cat in a frog suit is the lynchpin of history. That kind of thing and Minerva being proud of winning the eating contest are the dumb little things I like about Fairy Tail and that have been missing lately.

Also Lucy's capacity for forgiveness is apparently infinite.

Edit: I can't remember, what is Minerva's magic again? And is she still part demon?

The only thing weirder than the way female characters in this series have a tendency to be stripped naked and tortured is how they then proceed to breezily brush it off.

At the end of the magic tournament, after the battle with the dragons and the time travel. I kind of hope the next few arcs turn on a new, previously never hinted at, piece of future knowledge.

Gajeel, a year and a month from now, make sure that Levy eats dinner at the Pacifica. She has to eat the house special at 8 O'clock or Lucy will lose her arm!

I'd be okay with this if Gajeel starts using it to prank Natsu, and Gray and the rest of the guild get in on it too, adding in more and more ridiculous stipulations to see just how far they can take it before he gets fed up or finally figures it out.

"Oh yea, and she has to eat it with chopsticks"
"Sure, and her chair has to be facing east."
"Oh...and I almost forgot, she needs to eat it while standing on her head. Remember, on her head, this is important".

Not sure what its called, but I remember it like she has control over portals and space. As in she can use two portals to redirect or something along those lines. She can also teleport with them too.

As for if she's a demon, of course not! Minerva is human, Neo Minerva is a demon, and that was clearly Minerva.

Also prolonged beatdowns is just a small scuffle between guilds and its no problem.
