I kinda thought this was cool, but I also laughed outloud at the stupid loving exchange about a magic spell he has never heard of because it wasn't invented 400 years ago.

Like maybe guy who hangs out in caves isn't the most magically educated dude anymore?

I'll admit the chapter surprised me. I was not expecting what appears to be a reset of the world.

Well the next chapter is called Fairy Tail Zero so they'll just rerelease the Fairy Tail Zero prequel chapters for the next 13 weeks or so. :v:

Gajeel and Cana are going to travel this alternate world, trying to find the missing members of Fairy Tail. While there it will turn out that none of them can use magic, except for Gajeel and Cana who have been given an item by the First that lets them use magic. While there they will thwart a world domination scheme by a mad monarch and return after putting Jellal in charge.

And then Mest will find a way to gently caress that up as well.

I would be ok with this repeat plot if it meant more screen time for Cana. When will we see the potential that she has? Also, more Cana probably means more Gildarts.

What the gently caress. It's like it started as nalu fan service but then mashima used it as an exercise into how far he could push ecchi before turning it into an h chapter.

That's actually less nudity than is usual for Fairy Tail. More dick jokes than usual though.

When Gajeel comes back from the dead he should totally rock those skeleton gauntlets though.

Unfortunately, Mashima can claim this chapter was intentionally confusing. Still doesn't excuse about 40% of the other chapters, though.

Yep. Considering he's drawn nearly 500 chapters of Fairy Tail with minimal, if not zero, boner jokes, I guess the dam finally broke. Boners for everyone.

Also, regarding 490: I guess "universe reset" was a bit too ambitious to expect from Mashima. poo poo's just moved around and shrunk a bit. But aw yeah, Gajeel back in record time*.

*Close to record time- It was equally likely that he'd come back at the end of the very same chapter.

Gajeel might still be mostly dead right now, and just met up with Zera in heaven/wherever. I mean, there's no doubt that he, if not both of them, will be coming back from the dead. But right now, still technically dead.

Something I don't understand about Zeira.. how much are either this or the last one related to the original/real Zeira? Is there any continuity between them? When the original died, did her soul live on as part of Mavis's illusion? Or was it a completely independent being and the real Zeira has been in the afterlife this whole time? If so, does she know Mavis has been using a model of her body and personality to enact an elaborate self-delusion? :gonk: What about this new Zeira?

Pretty depressing if it was nothing more than an illusion Mavis was friends with. :smith:

Spoilers for 491 are out, and they get sort trippy regarding Zera. But they're also just a quick summary, so maybe it'll make more sense when the actual releases come out.



:siren:Warning: Spoilers below:siren:

Zera said she’s temporarily revived because Mavis’s magic and thoughts were reset
And that she’ll probably disappear when Mavis remember her again
Irene uses magic to literally see the entire kingdom…Like her eye is engulfing the sky
The Irene is surprised because she sees scarlet hair
Towards the end, Zera is telepathically telling everyone they have to gather together
And she tells them which way the guild is, and that they have to protect Mavis, who’s like their mother.
So that’s the Mother and Child reference in the title.

Not yet, or at least nothing major. I'm thinking stickymage is going to make her the erza of this arc since real erza is too unconscious to be tortured.

New Chapter.

With the Eileen Squad being Ribbon Bondage wizard/sword and Sticky wizard/sword, this ended far differently than I thought it would. Don't think its over. Swords will be back once Eileen crushes Mirajane.
