It wouldn't shock me if Arcnologia or whatever shows up and clowns the whole lot of them minus Zeref to show how powerful he is.

I'm looking forward to whatever bullshit happens that allows Fairy tail to win.

Erza's back after her power nap, the rest of the heavy hitters also got a power nap, and Zerif's entire plan has ammounted to messing with their guild and hurting their revived ghost mom. Regular Fairy Tale level violence should suffice.

Also Eileen is going to talk poo poo about her daughter's boyfriend, and then Erza is going to go off on her.

They'd have to get one for Bleach One Piece and Rave Master first.

The main issue is One Piece :v:

I think One Piece at least is taken care of three times over.



Fairy Tail would definitely be hella well suited to the genre though. Maybe after they finish the new Berserk one.

It is good to see my intended ignorance of One Piece merchandise is still holding up well. Better than expected even :stare:

I still stand by my Rave Master comment though (even if that ship has sailed and it's gotten it's own gamut of games that aren't Dynasty Warriors style.)

There is a depressing shortage of good anime based fighting games. If Arc System Works gave any of the major series like One Piece or Fairy Tail the same treatment as Persona 4 it would be spectacular. The Bleach fighting games are generally mediocre shovelware.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is if CyberConnect2 implanted Asura's Wrath into Naruto storyline.

Statham mage is still funny imo. And I liked how Rogue and Minerva were led to the battlefield by (RANDOM FAIRY TAIL MEMBER #142).

A setup chapter by Fairy Tail standards, but a lot still happened. Three fights started, and one (Gildarts vs. Serena) was possibly resolved.

Nah, she has a name, which I can't remember. She's the post 7-year time skip waitress who used to be Cobra's giant snake but was somehow turned into a lady.

Anime characters don't have organs, they somehow operate only with blood.

Also remember when Natsu had a magic tumor for like 5 minutes? I had forgotten!

I assume his Demon Slayer powers are holding him together to an extent. I don't expect realistic treatment of injuries in shonen manga anyway.

I'd imagine it'd be a poo poo chapter if they both died, since there'd be no catharsis to Invel saying that he didn't plan on it and he'd just have to beat E.N.D. himself while dismissing them. Frankly, I'm just as glad neither died, since it'd pretty much waste hundreds of chapters of Juvia crushing on Grey to have them die without really making anything of their relationship.

He's got it stopped up with ice in the last panel. Besides, Grey is a little bitch about it and just stabbed himself through the side above his kidneys. Juvia showed her true love by stabbing herself just below her sternum, through her spine, and out through the back.

The answer was one, apparently

Although at least the means of reviving her involved Wendy and Charle's established abilities, instead of nonsense like Gajeel falling through a convenient hole in space-time.

I like that Mashima remembered that Brandish isn't really a good person. She seems to genuinely care about August, but aside from that, it feels like her only reactions are apathy, mercy based on a legalistic sense of obligation, and sadistic contempt. Mostly apathy.

I don't really remember, but wasn't it said somewhere earlier in this arc that Zeref was actually a pretty good ruler?

Also, I am glad Juvia did not stay dead.

I'm glad she isn't dead but it's going to be annoying if Grey's arc with her doesn't move forward a little. Or a lot. It looks like instead he's gonna get his end boner.

The Grey and Juvia relationship will prove that in the end, being a creepy stalker who doesn't value other people's personal space is the path to love.
