I am going to reread Rave Master because it is cool and good.

Also Third Origin is just going to be Last Moment from Rave Master. That's gonna be hilarious and dumb.

Nothing would be lost if she did. But it's Fairy Tail so of course it won't happen and of course they won't actually lose their magic.

Natsu just happened to find Happy and Wendy happened to find Charlotte. Gajeel decided he was owed a cat and got Pantherlilly, the best cat. Then after all the cats got kicked out of the alternate universe for being magic Rogue and Sting got cats.

Essentially it's a cosmic accident that was reinforced by the other dragon slayers and cats.

Sting and Rogue also did once look up to Natsu and Gajeel, so, they probably felt like it was something they should do.

The one thing that always stands out to me, and keeps me from being mad at Fairy Tail, is in like every other shonen I read for some possibly related to brain damage reason and probably a bunch I don't read, this would have been spread over chapter after chapter of just hammering home oh no, how will shonen hero defeat bad person? Will they power up?.

Fairy Tail is crap, but at least it doesn't keep making GBS threads on my face like I'm supposed to be surprised. I'm not the target audience in any case, but Mashie's ADHD keeps me from rolling my eyes at that too much. And yeah I feel like they're not going to bother fixing some side-character in the middle of the main plot, but maybe he'll forget and we'll go on a side quest.

She's a Sky God Slayer from Lamia Scale, the guild Jura and Lyon are part of. She's the younger sister of the girl Lucy fought in like the second story arc. Wendy fought her in the Grand Magic Games.

How do you remember this stuff? I've actually read Fairy Tail like twice through and my brain absolutely refuses to retain like 80% of it.

Some people just have a gift for remembering stupid shounen manga.

I'd gladly trade my gift for something more useful, like being able to whistle properly.

Aww I'm really going to miss Sherria. She was better than Wendy imo.

Sometimes I feel like Mashima neglects some of the better characters. Although so far this arc has been better about not just showing the main fairy tail members.

Watching the anime helped I guess. Made stuff more memorable when it had sick Celtic rock jams happening in the background.

You can apply that to basically everything in this manga except the drawing of some of the female characters and dragons.

We should be getting close to the current arc's erza torture scene if arc formulas are happening again, or did that bit from the latest chapter count?

On the one hand, she did the Erza overcome the odds and beat the guy on the flying ship despite it being "impossible" thing a few chapters ago. On the other hand, her and sword boobs are heading in to fight a mysterious and powerful enemy with unknown powers.

Lucy has better moments than most characters when she actually gets to do stuff. I've always liked her urano metria spell, even though that was taken away from her in the grand magic games arc.

Same goes for Cana with Fairy Glitter. Mashima has stated several times she has potential but she has never gotten to do much.

She already had all the golden keys during the Grand Magic Games when sabertooth celestial wizard gave Lucy her 2 keys I thought. At least the plot device was a celestial wizard with all keys.

Did she open the gate during the Grand Magic Games that brought the Dragonpocalypse? I know she closed it with all the keys. That's about it.

She always manages to gently caress up though.

That's completely unfair. There's no way in hell any sane person would summon Aquarius unless they tried every other option, no matter how dumb, first.
