Well, at least Fairy Tail's "Just As I Planed" bad guy is transparently spinning bullshit. Could have done without one though.

New Chapter: http://readms.com/r/fairy_tail/349/2033/1

Rufus is known as "The Minstrel who Sings at the Red Moon". I'm sure that comes up a lot in conversation. "Hey, here comes The Minstrel who Sings at the Red Moon." "Oh, thank god, The Minstrel who Sings at the Red Moon owes me a drink after last time."

The Minstrel who Sings at the Red Moon is just doing lovely covers of the Minstrel who Sings at the Blue Moon anyway.

Well, at least we're expanding Lucy's character beyond boob jokes. Unless you count unboob jokes as boob jokes, in which case it's steady as she goes.

If I remember correctly, Acnologia was a dragon slayer who killed so many dragons that he became a dragon. I believe that Zeref showed up later doing his world spanning evil thing. The island arc seemed to hint that Zeref was actually sort of kind of good in that he was looking for a way to kill Acnologia and was the lesser of the two evils. I mean an evil tyrant is probably better than a civilization crushing natural disaster.

I don't get why a Demon Slayer is a vile and terrible man? Sounds like he was mistaken when he froze the village.

Also loved the little twist but I odnt understand why the fire was Atlas or what the magic that brought him back was?

Dragon Slayers are pretty cool with dragons, at least every one we've met so far. Really, they should probably just be called dragon mages. Of course on the other hand all the God Slayers learned what they know from old books and poo poo, so it could go either way.

Eh, I just figured she was a blank slate instead of an innocent soul. Monster isn't monster when you are told it's normal. And one can say that she was happy making the guild look good/not beat her rather than enjoying the act itself. After the leader is gone, she reverts to lost again. Overthinking things 101. :eng101:

Doesn't work when you're tormenting someone who can't fight back because you're holding a baby hostage. Especially when you appear to be deriving intense pleasure from the act. Also she was super hating on Lucy from the moment they met.

Now if Raven Tail were actually behind freezing the village and sold Flare on the idea that it was actually Fairy Tail who did it, masterminded by Lucy, then it at least makes some modicum of sense. As it is, she turns from a the voices in her head tell her to kill, unprovoked psychopath to nice new kid trying to make friends on a dime.

This would have more impact if they weren't such dicks 99% of the time. I know they killed the one "good" council member in person, but given the rest of the council I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't actually the head of Tartarus.

attackbunny posted:

Does this chapter increase or decrease the chances that Silver is Gray Senior?

Severely decreases, with an odd probability distribution that means if he is then Gray immediately gets a power up.

My completely uninformed guess is: The demon killed Gray's father and took his skin for his human form.

Why doesn't Laxus just cheat and use Fairy Law off the bat?

No one is ever allowed to use ultimate techniques without first exhausting all lesser techniques and positing at least 3 pages of dialog. MacArthur slipped wording to that effect into the Japanese constitution when he rewrote it.

Considering the other guy just soloed the rescue team from a couple/few arcs ago, I don't see how a top or near top tier like Laxus can go down that easily without leaving the majority of the core cast as effective as useless side characters in the coming battles (Unless they do a training arc/get powerups/find some silver weapons.)
Although "Demon Dragon Slayer Magic" has a nice ring to it, maybe Natsu can steal that.


No, he does ice. Natsu can't eat ice. Unless it's creamed or shaved.

gently caress it. Lucy calls out Cancer, he cuts up the ice, Happy pulls out some flavoring he happens to have in his backpack, and Natsu eats the world's largest magic snow cone in order to power up. Fist of the Absolute Zero Fire Dragon.

You know, it keeps coming up when Fairy Tail members fight about how this is what a Fairy Tail fight is like. At the climax, after the Fairy Tail member gets kicked around for awhile and comes back because FRIENDSHIP or if they so off an insane amount of power it makes sense for bystanders and opponents to comment on how Whoah Fairy Tail is. But just as often people make the comment when the fight is proceeding exactly like any other mage fight. No one comments, "So this is what a Quatro Puppy member fight is like" when they hit back. Hell in this fight Natsu wasn't even the one causing collateral damage.

At worst, Lucy has to delay the guy just lone enough for Wendy to toss enough healing into Natsu for him to get back up. With Happy and Carla there's an evac for the ex-council member and his granddaughter. Most likely result though is Natsu just getting back up, perhaps taking a full chapter to do so. Which gives Jackal just enough time to make Lucy's cloths explode or something.

So is this the one story where everyone but Lucy gets stripped? Taking a man's scarf is just low.

So is anyone else expecting Natsu's scarf to turn out to be a power limiter now? Though the continued trampling of the noble concept of friendship may simply be enough of a power up.

You're really over/under thinking the "E" part. It could be Edolas, Earthland, Exceed, some other country in either Earthland or Edolas that begins with E, or a new dimension that also starts with E. There's also the high likelyhood it's another Jellal.

Only one of the demons has memory problems. The rest probably remember the person who founded their guild.

This is a world where Jellal convinced everyone that he was totally not Jellal but another magic dude who just happened to look exactly like Jellal. Also at the same time there was another Jellal running around also claiming not to be Jellal, though at least he was honest since he was just alternate dimension Jellal.

Kana already had her moment this arc, though.

And Lucy can never do something cool on her own, because her power is specifically summoning other people to do things for her. Interpreting "on her own" in the broader sense you probably meant, she can summon Cancer to cut everyone loose, I suppose.


Given Lucy's power set, she's more likely to save the day through gratuitous fan service.
