I actually think it was kind of dumb of Wendy to switch back like that, given how injured Wendy's body was and how uninjured Eileen's body was. She should really have just killed Eileen and kept Eileen's body.

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.

Hate-Senpai posted:I feel that it's pretty racist that we have dragon slayers and demon slayers but no dedicated human slayers in this manga. 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.

Gyges posted:So which came first, the too powerful enemy that needed a Glidartz to Deus Ex Machina them into submission, or the Gildartz who needed a too powerful enemy to keep him from just crashing all the problems away? I think Gildartz's involvement in this arc came first, because excluding him from the final arc would be weird.

RatHat posted:I still don't understand how Acnologia is a threat to Zeref at all. Acnologia's breath attacks can probably just incinerate Zeref's body. If Igneel's flames had the potential to kill Zeref, Acnologia's island-erasing blast of darkness surely could. The real question is how anyone, Zeref included, is a threat to Acnologia at this point. I had previously assumed that Natsu would take him out with some new dragon-demon form, but now that Natsu has rejected his Dragon Seed and Demon Seed, he shouldn't even be able to scratch Acnologia's scales.

I like Zeref's conflicting motivations thing. At first I assumed he was just badly written and/or I was forgetting plot points, but eventually it was revealed that he's supposed to be that way. It does become a lot less clever when you realize how many other Fairy Tail characters really do have conflicting motivations because of bad writing, though.

The twist seemed clever at first, but now that I think about it, didn't August say something about only Rakheid's mother being able to defeat him? But now it turns out Rakheid doesn't even have a mother, and it's August who's the child of Zeref and Mavis. I might have to reread the earlier chapters to see exactly what August said about Rakheid.

Ytlaya posted:Ahh, yeah, not sure why I didn't realize you were talking about him. I sort of get the impression that maybe All For One needs to "equip" his quirks beforehand and can't just equip all of them at once due to potential "conflicts" or something. I could be wrong, but it seemed like he had experimented with different combinations of quirks to achieve the best result, which possibly implies that he can't just access everything all the time. It also seems like he can take multiple instances of the same quirk and "stack" it to make it stronger, which implies that his quirk works differently than one might intuitively expect it to. He lost that durability power by giving it to the Noumu, though. And his injuries likely interfere with many flight powers.

Hate-Senpai posted:Yeah, I guess FMA doesn't really have the type of power battles that other shounen stuff have because most people work off the same thing - alchemy - and the only alchemist to actually use a different power is Mustang since he does fire instead. There are some other people with cool powers that don't fit into the making-stuff-out-of-metal or generic weapon using categories. Most notably Scar's deconstruction, Gluttony's pocket dimension, Envy's shapeshifting, and Greed manipulating the carbon in his own body (though of these, only Scar is technically an alchemist). I do agree that a lot of other characters have less interesting abilities, though (lots of people who just use a gun or sword, and a fair number of generalist alchemists like Cornello and Alex Armstrong).

The funny thing is that Fairy Tail didn't have any major permanent powerups either prior to Second Origin. Natsu always won with a temporary powerup. Then they did another time skip to give everyone a second set of powerups. The second set of powerups didn't even serve much narrative purpose, either. I guess it helped sell the idea that the Alvarez Empire was a big deal while still allowing the protagonists to beat them, since before the second timeskip Makarov thought Fairy Tail had no chance against them?

Hate-Senpai posted:Second Origin was some of the silliest poo poo. At least Gajeel trained for his power up!!!! I think everyone except the main characters getting stronger over the first timeskip was there mainly for comedic value (Natsu struggling against a nobody like Max, Lucy's attempted Hyperbolic Time Chamber-style exploit backfiring). Second Origin was a handwave to get the protagonists back on par with the rest of the world before the serious plot started. Plus Erza already having Second Origin set up the way she beat Minerva. I forgot about Fire-Lightning being permanent. Although it might have worn off eventually, since I don't think Natsu has used it in a long time. Normally I think this thread exaggerates the amnesiac effects of Fairy Tail, but this time it happened to me!

Kuroyama posted:New chapter August's loss was at least set up with the only his mother can defeat him line (which I had misremembered; he didn't actually specify that he was talking about Rakheid.). And it's not entirely clear that Natsu is a demon dragon now, either. Chapter titles are sometimes misleading.

Harry posted:Aizen atleast was consistent chapter to chapter. Zeref appears to have a completely different personality every cutback. Which wouldn't be bad, but it's hard to tell if that's on purpose. It's on purpose. It's spelled out pretty clearly.

AtheistMantis posted:I remember it being spelled out clearly, but then I forgot what was spelled out because...Fairy Tail. Basically, he's constantly switching between contradictory ideas as a way of coping with a curse that causes the people around him to die if he values human life too much.

Gyges posted:Honestly, Fairy Tail would be much better if it was about punching the hosed up gods who bestow such curses. Natsu finds out Zeref is his brother, learns what's going on from the first, dragon punches god in their smug loving face. Fin. I used to assume that after they beat up Zeref they would go to the realm of the gods and beat up Ankhseram. It would give the God Slayers a chance to shine for once. Stuff like the "Fairy Tail memories" covers make it clear that this is going to be the last arc, though.

tsob posted:I feel a bit odd in that I don't hate Fairy Tail. I find it very meh and really forgettable most of the time, but with occasional spikes of fun that keep me around. I'm probably going to get lacerated for this, but I kept reading Fairy Tail for years, even when I dropped other manga near their conclusions (I dropped Naruto about 10 chapters from the end when Kakashi gave his eye to someone in a dream but they had it in reality or something really dumb) and have never bothered to finish it. I've even kept reading it and dropped objectively better manga like My Hero Academia, which I binge read every few months but mostly just found competent but kind of dull. Fairy Tail's stupidity has a charm I guess. That or it's simple time investment, since I was reading it a lot longer than MHA but never felt it got insulting dumb like Naruto or regularly boring for long stretches like Bleach. I think the key to Fairy Tail's enjoyability despite the stupidity is the fast pacing. It usually doesn't stall like Bleach (although it did for the last few chapters).

Hopeford posted:Someone cure my fairy tail amnesia here: Sort of. Instead of being taught by a dragon, he had a Dragon Slayer Lacrima inserted in his body (don't ask me where Dragon Slayer Lacrima come from). Eric/Cobra also became a Dragon Slayer this way. God Serena underwent a similar process, but instead of one Lacrima, he had eight, allowing him to use eight different elements. Sting and Rogue are "Third-Generation Dragon Slayers" who were taught by dragons and have Lacrima. In terms of powers, though, it doesn't seem to make much difference.
