Gyges posted:Is it going to turn out that Lucy is the only Fairy Tail member who didn't spend the last year getting stronger? Not that her magic particularly calls for it. Lucy doesn't need to get stronger, but I think her personal strength increasing improves her summoning. She can have more out longer, and I think she can buff them too. You could have both if she were instead a freelance traveling reporter that occasionally gets into struggles herself. She's writing/investigating the other's whereabouts, and getting stronger. But we all know she'll have somehow increased her strength because reasons.

Gyges posted:I'm actually kind of surprised he went through with breaking Aquarius' key. There were so many other non-boob choices. How sweet, you think she's actually gone. Although, thinking about it, if it turns out Lucy spent part of the timeskip repairing the key using her own power/training to do so, I will accept that.

Simoom posted:yeah its not a sweet power up and it doesn't mean anything. like erza's magic, it is an excuse for fetishy outfits. she's still Lucy and this only happened so she can become a cow girl. dude knows what he likes to draw I like the concept, and I'm glad Lucy taking on Aquarius's power wasn't a one-off thing (okay so technically, it was. Maybe). But so far, yeah, it's just an excuse to put Lucy in new fanservicey clothing. It would've been better if the Regulus Lucy kick wasn't just used for a quick joke in one panel. Mashima should've made it an Inazuma kick shout-out or something.

Relevant to the earlier Gajeel-chat, a new gaiden has started, with a focus on him. Even has a page where FT members are talking about his crueler moments. And if anyone cares, a few days ago they announced a FT Zero anime starting January.

kohon posted:I heard about the FT Zero anime yesterday. I wonder how long it will be since it's only 13 chapters or so. I guess one episode per chapter might work but that seems like it would be stretching it. There is the possibility that the storyline could just be a buffer arc to let Mashima get further in the main story. The staff did announce that there was gonna be a filler arc between the magic games and Tartaros, and when they were gonna start Tartaros. But at the same time, I think the regular anime could end within the current cour with a little squeezing, and they could just take 6 months-a year off like they did before, and this will be a one-cour deal to keep up the interest.

Yeah, Zeref's words seem to imply that Mard Geer used the name of E.N.D. to prop up Tartaros, but also that he didn't actually read the book himself.

Did anyone read Zeref proclaiming Natsu can no longer kill him and go "yes. yes of course. this is a thing that will matter." It does matter, because it all but confirms the Zeref face turn, hooks back up with Mavis ending.

kohon posted:The most recent chapter stated that the dragon children all came to present day on July 7, 777 but that doesn't really explain the 7 year age difference of Sting/Rogue and the other three. They all looked like relatively the same age when it showed the children selection. Either Mashima forgot about this or I'm forgetting or not seeing something. Kyte posted:You mean before or after the Tenrou Island timefreeze? There's still a mistake somewhere. Without time shenanigans, Rogue, Wendy, and Sting should be the same age, with Gajeel and Natsu older. Gajeel and Natsu should probably have been drawn in the flashback panels to look more like Romeo or Wendy do currently.

The companies will take different weeks off for the holiday breaks. Gyges posted:Having not read this chapter yet, because reading Fairy Tail at work is a bad idea, is this really that much further down the rabbit hole than Erza's nude torture at the hands of a buxom demon and a tentacle monster? It's better in that it's not drawn to sexualize what's happening, but worse in that he draws what's happening in a legitimately creepy manner.

Fabricated posted:I dunno, a dude with a really creepy face straddling a nearly naked woman, choking her out while her arms and legs are cuffed seemed particularly gross and creepy. But it's a "good" kind of creepy. It's not Lucy taking a beatdown, then being in a panel taking up a third of the page focusing on her butt or boobs. It's Brandish getting choked out, and looking appropiately disgusting while it's happening.

Mulderman posted:My favorite little bit about them so far, which might not be intentional at all. Was a few chapters ago when we saw everyone getting ready. We see a small glimpse of their beds and it looks like they have the same bedsheets. The best part of that was the chapter ended with the start of the invasion by the Empire's army and the Spriggan Twelve, but all the internet gave a poo poo about was the possibility that the two had hooked up. I want it to be that they just have the same style of blanket for one reason or another, if only because the frustration of shippers gets me off.

Meanwhile, in other news that may make certain areas of the internet more insufferable than usual, a Fairy Tail novel was released yesterday. Apparently the plot is Natsu and Lucy having to babysit a brother and sister twin duo. The part that's making everyone lose their poo poo is that they're apparently Gajeel and Levy's future children. The cover Now, as a side novel, it's technically not canon. But I think Mashima's current policy is something like as long as he doesn't directly contradict it, it's canon. So congratulations, Gajeel and Levy?

She did open up the Eclipse in this era. So not an rear end-kicker, but still important to the story.

He didn't forget all of it. Just the bits that have nothing to do with Juvia. I mean, he could have had Grey eat Ur's magic for the boost, then one-shot all the demons revived from Neinhart's magic. poo poo, have the one demon Laxus fought come back so it's all demons for him to wipe out with his demon slaying magic.

Silver2195 posted:I know this is overthinking it, but isn't she a bit young-looking to be Erza's mother? Erza was 18-ish at the start of the series, she was transported 7 years forward in time after Acnologia blew up Tenrou Island, and there was a 2-year time skip after the Tartaros arc. Her mother would have to be at least in her 40s. Irene spends all her not destroying things at the spa. Just because you're a walking disaster area doesn't mean you can't look your best doing so. In all seriousness, if she is Erza's mother, she should be be in her mid-40s. Any younger starts getting into creepy territory, and I don't think Mashima could pull off "pregnant by age 14 because of her lovely childhood" with the grace and care it requires.
