No, it was introduced as a way for her to forget about friendship, then use the built up power of Fairy Glitter to successfully job out and put Gildarz even further over when he shows up to save the day. Later the First had her use it to cheese the power scouter event.

Well poo poo. I googled for some more details and I could not remember a single thing about "Bluenote Stinger" or anything that happened during or around this fight.

That's because fights don't actually matter. Only rad dragons, friendship, and cheesecake.

I saw Bleach and Naruto through to the end, and Fairy Tail still isn't that bad.

It is bad, though.

For all its faults, Fairy Tail is one of the better series when it comes to upgrade/new form distribution.

The one magic he never learned, was the magic of love.

I do like how he utterly (thus-far) chumped Gildartz.

Hello I am poorly written mage man, yes yes, oh no my only weakness being punched in the face. That is my spoiler for some chapter in the future. I wish he had a twirly mustache.

Maybe it'll switch up and she'll take him out, I can totally see that happening.

Let's not pretend, he made Eileen a dragon well after she was introduced, it's just amusing to pretend FT has any sort of consistency or quality in its writing. I mean even Acnologia was surprised, and he has traveled the world slaughtering dragons, I think? You'd think he'd notice someone who apparently stinks of dragon.

I'm still shocked we had minimal dragon tits. I guess even for Mashima that was a bust too far.

Wait, if Glowdarts and Arachnophobia fought to a stalemate before, and Guildarts is now getting thrashed by magic grandpa, why is everyone up to and including Lord Zed himself making GBS threads themselves right now?

Yeah I think he said he didn't last ten seconds. Arcology is about the only thing in the manga hyped to be a total bad-rear end.

Zeref was but then he went emo. He did give Natsu a good kick though, I liked that.

Who cares about the relationship between Zeref and his son? Get done with it and resolve the last fights, or at least let Acnologia kick some more rear end.

Uh, yeah, I think the most anyone cares about Rahkeid is how uncomfortable he made reading FT for a few chapters. Zeref and Natsu aren't in "final battle" mode, but I don't buy the drama here.

I'd be fine if he only asked it once, but he says it like 3 times, which is 2 times more than I would be okay with.

In a better series, it would have been a recurring question, but Mashima messed up and needed to cram it all into one chapter.

Mashima has never been one for finesse and subtlety.

Repeating the question 3 times and having Zeref blast a hole in his son, all in a single chapter to really hammer in the point that, uh, what was the point.

Oh right, that Zeref is a lovely dad.

Like, what is even the point? Zeref's evil bad guy bona fides have been well established, what does him being a lovely dad on top of everything else even accomplish? Hell, why does he even have a stupid son when it means absolutely nothing and can't possibly matter?

Is Mashima afraid his readers might have bought into the sudden, "Oh, no, we're being extremely evil in order to save the world" bullshit Zeref and his crew decided to have their motivation be last chapter?

It was all a ploy by Makarov to conserve his strength for round 2 of his wrestling match with Acnologia.

Considering the utter failure of all the fairy magicks so far I'm looking forward to Fairy Heart not finishing off Zeref or Arcnologia or whatever it's supposed to do

the only effective fairy tail magics are delivered via punch or blade.

Fairy Law has proved very effective, although with a substantial recoil.
