This is why Erza annoys me. The way she wins fights she was losing overwhelmingly by just thinking about her friends. To be fair, there's a possibility that Wendy is boosting her in this case, and the fight isn't over yet.

On the other hand, Erza is cool and enjoyably stupid outside of big arcs and is the only female character who ever gets to do anything of note.

Winning via friendship isn't unique to Ezra, and I'm glad that Ezra generally sticks to a single power-up and doesn't switch through new abilities every arc.

I love how nearly every arc with a big Erza fight you know it is finally going to end when she dons the samurai getup.

Ezra soloing the tower of monsters by herself was one of the highlights of the Tournament arc.

The other highlight was Laxus beating the poo poo out of his dad.

Also Natsu and Gazelle vs Sting and Rogue.

At least you can sort of get behind her being able to asspull given she's some freaky dragonspawn

I miss when she used to Ex-Quip different weapons and armor and end fights with a variety of them. The flame samurai pants and katana is almost the only one she uses now.

Turns out evil dragon mom is actually good dragon mom and she was a good mother all along because she couldn't kill her child.

It's telling when "can't kill your child" is a heartwarming moment in a manga, especially when starting the chapter off with Ezra breaking a meteor that was meant to kill her and her friends.

Jesus that was stupid.

Also, I'm sure this has been asked before the numerous times she's used it, but I wonder. Do Erza's breast bindings also have some kind of magic enchantment? Or did she just find a really neat sword and a swell pair of pants and figured she'd call it a day with those?

Erza impaled herself on her own sword so she could headbutt someone. That was cool.

The original idea was she wore all kinds of armors to protect herself (because of her emotional insecurity, or whatever the gently caress) which would slow her down and that outfit was meant to either increase or simply not impair her speed. How or why it seemingly makes her stronger in basically every fight after it was introduced is as much a mystery to you as it is to me.

It's pretty bad when the terrible flashback is more interesting than the terrible fight but like I said, at least we can justify her asspulls a little now.

I just hope Natsu turns into a demon dragon soon and just stomps everyone and wins the day and the manga ends. Then Mashima can move one to what he really wants to do, draw all the Heavy Metal covers from now on.

Give him three days, and he'd have the next 20 years worth of covers made.

Ah, so if Eileen had just said "I'm Human" she never would have turned into a dragon. Makes total sense. What a maroon.

Well Natsu was straight up dying from it, rather than just living on as a dragon with a broken body, and would have done so had his adoptive father not presented him with a get out of jail card. Eileen presumably had no such inner angel to help her at any point.

That was the whole point of her anger in the one scene. She lost her benefactor fighting in a war to protect humans and got hosed up because of it, while the gen 1 dragon slayers (we'll call her gen 0) all got get out of jail free cards. All the gen zero dragon slayers went loving crazy.

Anyway this sucked but I'm glad they'll stop pretending Natsu is going to die fighting Zeref.

Also if she was just going to suicide out then why didn't she turn into a dragon and get punked by Acnologia? draw more dragons you fucker

Probably cause she wanted to die as a human. Or in human form. Or whatever.

She hated her human form.

But then again like I said, all Gen Zero DSes are crazy to the maximum.

I hope Ezra gets to kill Acnologia with some sort of soul of her mom armor upgrade.

Somehow I assumed that Natsu just became a Human Slayer, since he rejected his demon and dragon seeds by still uses fire magic resembling his Dragon Slayer magic.

Voldeo (the Grimoire Heart guy who possessed Capricorn), wasn't a Human Slayer, but he used Human Subordination magic.
