Also where in gods name is Guildarts in all of this? In my opinion he could hold his own against demons.

He's also this strong while being a clump of organs held together by anime bandages, since he fought the stupid death dragon thing one-on-one and got his rear end handed to him.

Yeah I have been enjoying the last month or so of this series but I am not super pumped about what will certainly be a bizarrely melodramatic flashback focusing on the two worst characters in the series, and won't really matter. just stop trying to pace and do what you do best mashima

Back when I started reading this I assumed Jellal's hair was red like Erza's. I don't know why but I feel like I would hate him a lot less if his hair was red like Erza's

The short version is he was a good kid, got corrupted or possessed or something, grew up evil, had a doppelganger spy in the magic council, turned good again after losing to Natsu, showed up again later with no evil memories, let himself get arrested, broke out, and is currently an outlaw vigilante or something. Mystogan was alt. universe Jellal.

Yeah, it was something like that. I think he was dead and then one of the Oracion Seis revived him without his memories? Also, that doppelganger in the Magic Council was just a magical clone he made of himself, and who he later killed while en route to activating Etherion.

It is best to legitimately address Fairy Tail utilizing the same logic your brain had when you were like, nine. I kept turning the page of this chapter hoping for more mugshots of the facepunchees but then ugh. Thankfully this is Fairy Tail so it's like 50% chance someone punches someone and the flashback is interrupted, and/or the flashback is three pages long.

And I honestly have no idea how Jellal lost his memories aside from generic anime "i got rekt and instead of dying i got amnesia" syndrome.

The latest episode of Fairy Tail has a filler (Or is it padding?) plot that reveals (Assuming this is canon) what happened to Rusty Rose of Grimoire Heart after the Tenroujima arc. A burning question that has no doubt been on everyone's mind.  I almost got mad because in the preview it looked like they brought back Zancrow (Who died) and Azuma (Who also died.) And then on top of that it ended up not being a flashback to before the Tenroujima arc. But then I remembered his magic power and sure enough... Nahxela posted:Yeah, it was something like that. I think he was dead and then one of the Oracion Seis revived him without his memories? It was Wendy who revived him (She knew Mystogan and thought that was him, so part of his 'amnesia' was due to being the wrong Jellal.) Also Siegrain wasn't a clone, nor was he killed, it was just a magical projection. MonsterEnvy posted:The entire Tower and Jellal, Erza and the Seis being slaves there was pointless as the guy was not dead. They suffered as part of Ultear's plan to distract the Magic Council from Grimoire Heart's activities. Hilariously, Master Hades himself later fell victim to the same trap of believing bogus facts about Zeref and doing a lot of pointless work because of it.

Some of the stuff Fairy Tail pulls off is actually very visually impressive, much like Bleach the art has a huge variance as the artist gives or doesn't give a poo poo. Unlike Bleach, the quality is tits determined rather than Kenpachi determined

Monaghan posted:yeah when it comes to pacing Mashima needs to learn to slow down a little. Still it's a way better then having having bleach's pacing issues. It's very refreshing to see a mangaka who when they write themselves into a corner just says gently caress it, and wraps things up by the end of the issue instead of taking months to laboriously figure a way out. He's honest with both himself and the reader that the solution is going to be Natsu punching something.

The author has gotten fantastic at introducing fanservice and making it look completely natural. Like Lucy climbing the train, great angel for rear end shot! He also does characters relatively well IMO. I love Grey and my favorite female character is Juvia, she used to be a lot better as a character but now shes just some second class citizne for maybe an rear end shot and bothering Grey to marry her. Also if you read my posts the plot makes no loving sense.

I don't know, getting a slurpee is to sitting in the dentist's waiting room. They're both in buildings, the end. FT has completed three or nine different arcs in the time since Bleach went on break to get ready to finish its final year. And then the lieutenant picked up the dog and carried him off into the sunset. Gyges posted:There are 4 things that the artist 110% gives a crap about.

He's a fantastic artist. He's just the most bland, blatantly derivative writer I've ever read. He'll write anything he thinks will make his story sell more to more people.
