Lucy being like, "Stop loving deathflagging us!" was kinda funny.

New chapter up- SO ANYWAY, in the anime they got Jouji Nakata (aka the guy who does Kirei from F/SN) to do the voice of Keyes, the evil skeleton priest guy from Tartaros. I keep expecting him to tell Juvia to rejoice.

I got Tartaros mixed up with the jobbers from the last arc there for a minute.

You know, I was just thinking that what this arc needed was Lucy and another female to sit naked in a bath tub.

Mashima's obsession with sexualized humiliation has gotten to the point where it's not just gross, it's tedious.

Look at it from Mashima's point of view, it's probably the highlight of his career, because he gets to draw a battle that's actually just two naked women cramped in to one hot tub throwing dirty looks and snark at each other. It's all going to be downhill for him once that's over. That, or Fairy Tail will segue in to his new work Succubus Tail, which will just be flat out porn with the occasional bit of action intruding in to scenes. Maybe eventually he'll come full circle and the readers of this theoretical work will start getting peeved at him for inserting pointless action fanservice in to every chapter and detracting from all the tits and rear end.

Has every arc since the magic tournament had a lady who is really into Lucy? Girl is apparently a chick magnet.

The Oracion Seis chick even pulled out Gemini just so Lucy could flash everyone, and that was like the 4th arc.

Actually Virgo is from the second story arc. So pretty much every time except the first story, when she was almost sold into slavery.

Idunno, I was pretty entertained by post-timeskip, training hard Lucy getting to show how far she's come only to spend half a chapter trying not to poo poo herself at the hands of the diarrhea wizard, and look forward to see how he'll outdo himself. it'll probably just be standard giantess stuff, but this guy is pretty hosed up, so i have faith.

I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point but... gently caress man... This poo poo is just painful at this point.
It's not even titillating at this point because like Natsu and Happy we've gotten so used to seeing her naked that it really serves no real purpose.

So if there is no point to naked, then that just leaves battle. That's good, right?

Technically she can just spell her summon clothes on. This is probably some nonsense for her to get her Aquarius key back somehow.

Dude that prevents her from summoning, and thus getting her special clothes, is in the room in a pillbox. There's no escaping naked battle.

Idunno what it is about this arc but I'm having more difficulty caring about any of this even more than usual. I don't know how he managed to introduce 12 guys who are all supposed to be stronger than anything he's shown before and have them all seem like filler. Good stuff

I like how almost the only thing that reminds you that Lucy is actually the main character is that her mom is randomly pops up as having done something years ago that affects things now.

That'll be an interesting one to animate.

Also, good thing Fairy Tail figured out that despite the Twelve's power, they have the same weakness as the rest of FT's villains: yell and then hit them harder.

Well, they did go out of their way to point out that they're not even friends. How can you hope to beat Fairy Tail if you don't have the power of friendship?

This will eventually be like the four fiends of the elements on FF4, won't it?

Like Fairy Tail wrecks half of the twelve and the rest will be like: "This nakama thing isn't half bad let's do that."

My bet is either the one Lucy is currently fighting or the lady who isn't a wizard at all.

Giantess Fetish Lady hasn't done anything even remotely useful for her own team, and has saved Fairy Tail a couple of times already, so probably not her.

I'm betting it's the saint wizard guy who defected because why wouldn't the traitor be the one that's most obvious to the enemy.

They don't know he's a crazy crying wizard who wants to kill everything. They think he's just a crazy dry-eyed wizard who wants to conquer everything.

I guarantee these retards know he's a death god and are just rolling with it because they were without hope for some reason and even if he does just kill them all in the end nakama nakama nakama

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I mostly only remember the parts of Fairy Tail that I was watching the anime for, once it went on hiatus and I switched to the manga the villains suddenly got really forgettable.

My favorite character is Makarov but the guild seems bound and determined to get the poor guy killed when he really just wants to retire. Watch him end up guildmaster again after this.

I finally decided to jump on the One Piece train, and I've read up to Sky Piea for those familiar. There are so many characters that I can never remember, and I'm told it only gets worse. It makes it really hard, too, when there are more than two sides in a battle. I've been able to keep up with the FT characters rather well, but I watched the anime first.

Dressrosa will make your loving brain melt then it's so full of stupid side characters and goes on for eternity.
