But I still remember everyone from the arcs afterward too, even minor villains in One Piece have personality while most FT characters I can only remember if they have especially neat magic, like Racer or... the guy with the hat.

I'm assuming "the guy with the hat" is Rufus and not Reedus. I actually have a mini Gray keychain, but the only reason I bought it was because it has him wearing the hat. Related to the most recent chapter, I'm really glad Mashima brought in Cana. We need more Cana.

I didn't know Reedus had a name before this point, but yeah I totally meant Rufus. You were right to buy that keychain though, that hat was top tier and it is a crime that Gray did not permanently add it to his wardrobe.

Every time I see Rufus I think "Shinra," which I can't help but think would make this way cooler.

A lot of indications that this could be a good arc: Ezra getting her armor back -> remaining relevant past the initial fight and not being locked into a sex dungeon(?) team up with Cana -> 2v2s(?) Lucy's mom -> PLOT(!?) Can't wait to see how hard Mashima's going to dash those hopes

I don't think I ever understood what Rufus's power was. Could he just copy everyone else's?

I think Gray won the battle by overloading his memory. I really wish more detail could have been spent on explaining his magic.

Newest chapter is out and I am completely satisfied with how they beat Ajeel.

Yeah that was... actually kinda fun. More inventive than usual, actually made used of a side cast member, and stuff previously established. Plus Erza was able to use some of her other armours. Good chapter, hope for more like it.

These 12 were built up enormously for Fairy Tail so it is kind of weird to see one go down like, three chapters into the action But the way it was done was pretty nice, and gives me hope that my boys Vijeeter and Nab will get their moments at last!

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.

yeah glad he didn't just get beaten by the "well I'll hit him harder" thing. Also Ajeel only getting taken out due to being hit with that big rear end cannon thing helps establish that these guys still aren't chumps.

Sandstorms, draining water from people, fighting back with a water based attack... I know, I know there are only so many things you can do with sand, but come on! That said, that was a pretty cool finisher.

Also the Canon would not have done anything to Crocodile who would have just reformed on the spot. Ajeel after all does not have intangibility only the power to turn what touches him into sand.

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.

GOOD GUY: Dang I'm losing wait no I punched even harder than last time I punched blow kapoom zowie the power of friendship wins again here's an rear end.

New chapter up on MS. Looks like one of the 12 did, in fact, go down easily. I'm pretty sure she'll wake back up and go back to fighting the protagonists soon, though. Also, while I was expecting the other guilds to help out eventually, I wasn't expecting Ichiya of all people to play a major role.

Nice art on robo guy. I always really liked the designs on the thunder god tribe, too. (when did they get eye magic, though? Oh FT, I never remember anything) Kinda dumb chapters in general but I guess it's just brawl time.

Don't be silly, she's a she, therefor she's going to defect so that Mashima has more titties to draw for as long as possible. Ichiya ruled, and it was nice seeing Gray and Juvia stripped together at the end again. For some reason seeing her take on his mannerism is very cute, though it's a shame he doesn't appear to have borrowed any of hers too.
