Also, did anyone noticed Meredy's reactions towards Ultear, Juvia and Gray in this chapter? It's Mashima we're talking about, and I think Meredy can become a possible new member of fairy tail (or at least, friend >_>; )
One thing that I'm quite sure though, she might become a new member of Gray's harem :heh:
Chapter was suprisingly good. Gray just bashed her face in with a spiky ice fist. DAMN. He created some extra pores in her face, lmao! Ul isn't gonna be happy messing up her face like that, lol.
She can just...you know, turning back time so that her face would remain beautiful :uhoh:

Who is in Gray's harem?
Everyone except Lucy:p
At the start of the series I pegged Natsu for that role but it changed.
Natsu X Lucy all the way now!
And then Gray X Juvia/Erza/Mirajane/Cana/and for the sake of it Meldy & Ultear:D
I wonder if Ultear will show a reaction to Gray's "habit":heh:

I think she was too busy giving her "I'm awesome" speech to notice.
Thankfully, the pairings in FT are pretty straight forward. I'm fairly happy with NatsuxLucy, GrayxJuvia, ErzaxJellal, GajeelxLevi, ElfmanxEvergreen and AlzacxBisca. Only Cana and Mira are left unpaired. Maybe Gildartz can have a harem, if he doesn't already.

Think you are ignoring Lisana there. ;)
In the manga, the Natsu/Lisana chemistry is almost non-existent, so I'm not surprised people aren't picking up on her.

Indeed. At least ask for a romance thread for those type of discussions.
Why was I under the impression she couldn't use her time magic on living things?It works on plants, but not on "creatures".

Except romance is non-existent :heh:
Natsu and Lisanna could've had something with how much emphasis the author placed on how Lisanna affected Natsu, but he just completely ignores her after she returned.

It is existent, but it's not like non-existence has ever stopped people from shipping characters.
Natsu and Lisanna could've had something with how much emphasis the author placed on how Lisanna affected Natsu, but he just completely ignores her after she returned.
I chalk the largely ignoring her thing mostly up to the need to move as quickly as possible on to the next thing so that people didn't stare too long at the gaping holes torn in the plot to retcon her death.
I think this could have gone a lot better if there was actually a reason for Gray to ever believe her; like something happening beforehand. Ah well.

Although I could accept her besting zeref if it turns out that he was handicapped by lost of memory or sealing or something. Afterall she didn't have it easy and she was the strongest/2nd strongest out of the 7 kin who seem pretty much all at least S class.

Not really. You linked the possibility of her defeat by Gray to her defeat of Zeref. The latter should never have happened, as things stand right now, given what we know. :heh:

Nope, I linked the fact that she had a hard time fighting (and won) zeref to the possibility of Gray beating her because she is tired. It was already established that she had done that.
Granted that in your view, I'm basing the rationale on a fact that happened due to an ass pull. But the previous ass pull does not correlate to the current event. Unless you want to talk about tendency of the author to carry out ass pulls...

Ultear herself mentioned that Zeref wasn't at full power in his current form, so I think its quite believable she could defeat his "sleep mode."

I don't know if someone has mentioned it before, but Zeref knowing Natsu must mean that he's involved in the whole Dragonplot, do you agree?

Probably, particularly given he came in for a mention in the conversation between Igneel and Grandine
On a different note, the Q&A section of volume 27 mostly answered the question of who made S-Class when:
x???: Gildarts (no age given)
x778: Laxus (age 17)
x780: Erza (age 15)

My personal theory if the lack of information on Gildarts means anything other than Mashima hadn't thought about it is:
Just to add insult to injury to Cana for her angst over not making S-Class, it'll turn out that Gildarts didn't make S-Class until he was in his twenties.
Your idea could work as well, but it depends a bit on when Makarov tossed Ivan out of the guild.

Woot! Chapter's out. :D
I have to say I quite enjoyed this chapter, especially the Juvia part. :heh: On the magic front, Ultear learning Time Arc to defeat Creation Magic was a good piece of information, Red Ice was something I wasn't expecting the author to use, and Ultear knowing Ice Make was an unexpected and, quite frankly, pleasant surprise.
I'm wondering what Child!Ultear was looking at in tears though. It'll be interesting to find out what that's foreshadowing.
All-in-all, the best chapter we've had in a while. :D
hahaha... what is happening with one of the strongest Grimoire's member??? she is so weak in front of Gray.... show some power, girl! make this an epic battle... not one-sided
the next chapter we will get some Ur's past?? hopefully yes
Juvia is the best.... hahahaha

Fenrir_valindri
2011-06-25, 08:25
To be fair, that was pretty smooth thinking on Gray's part to use his own blood to prevent Ultear from absolutely dominating him.
Time magic really is about the best counter you can have for Maker magic, and injuring yourself to attack your enemy is always a risky gamble.
Ultear using the same Maker magic as Ur is really surprising as well, a very pleasant surprise, I really hope we learn more about their past, especially the reason Ultear seems to have such a strong hate for Ur.
make this an epic battle... not one-sided
Wouldn't call it one-sided, Ul headlocked Gray after negating his maker magic, and the latter still got in a good punch, before getting ice-owned. Heavy hits on both sides, but Gray has his trump card...crawling Juvia ftw :heh:
ronin myael
2011-06-25, 09:39
hmmm...freezing his own blood to use as a weapon eh? reminds me of what mikagami tokiya did with his dark water sword technique in flame of recca. when he ran out of water to freeze, he used his own blood.

Well that was always one option, probably along the lines of Ur killed her father to protect Ultear but Ultear mistakes it as something else, you know how that cliche goes.
I'm hoping for something different and honestly speaking I hope to god it ain't Gray getting through to her with words...after beating her down but I suspect we may get somethinglike that.
Altho I don't expect to Ultear to turn sides but maybe give up on wanting to kill Gray at least.
I love how Juvia's love knows no bounds:heh:

LOOK OUT! This is Spider Juvia~~~!
Ultear is a hard cookie to figure out, she hates her mother and yet she learned her same Alchemy magic too. That pic of her as a kid, could it be from the day Ul had to leave her? Also, I'm really glad that there's not so many Ultear fans here-v-, you see one chick in a battle suit, and you forget all the evil things she's done to our favorite characters just because she has a big ass you wanna tap, sheesh>.>.

No, the cells don't die instantly. Theoretically they'd be killed when frozen as ice crystals would destroy the cells, but then you have the blood plasma to consider which stands being frozen better, and given the fictional setting, Mashima's probably just running off the sort of fiction logic that lets being frozen in a glacier and such serve as proper cryogenic hibernation.

I hope we at least find out that Ultear has some kind of feelings for her Mother. That one panel of flashback has me thinking it'll be just that.

Never mind being in the glacier. In FT, you can survive while being the glacier. (Well, you're alive enough that Urtear's magic can't touch you.)

Indeed.
The anime put a bigger spotlight on her before, hopefully we'll see more in that regard but for the manga I've always quite liked her.
Not sure on this but she had long hair then cut it short and now seems to have grown it a little which I'll add makes her looks hawt!
I'm not fond of straight haired bob cuts, if hair is shoulder length or shorter, then a slightly messy look is best.
Hisoka??
2011-07-01, 08:28
hmmz not sure but only slightly below 0 celcius which isn't really that cold in the scheme of things. Of course we don't know if gray's skill is ice making or lowering temperatute/ removing energy and therefore making ice *shrugs*

He's not getting his water from anywhere: He's directly converting his reiatsu into ice.
Well truth be told I never payed head whewre he got his ice (cause u rite the little shit ain't funny :heh:) but the thought of gettin ice from air ... made me think of his shikai line ... sry for going OT in such a evil way XD (he did say vs halibel though that "all the water in the atmosphere was under his command or some crap ...I forgot the details I was tryin to enjoy Halibel's censored parts ...)

That was brilliant. Such the flashback i was expected to see, and it blew me away. Also that colour spread! It totally left a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach.

the explanation of Ultear seems a bit too convenient... but that's FT for you. I only wish they have more built up before that.
and so Gray won, as expected.

It was alright, Ultear got inside mum, got a flashback injection and then Gray impaled her with his freakin' huge lance. Moar nakama power is getting built up...didn't see any anime news though. Nice colour opening, is it just me or does FT get these a lot?

Good chapter, but the overall execution towards the chapter itself ( the past few before ) were lacklustre looking back, especially if this is the end of Ultear's story arc in general.
I think I said it before, but the the Racer fight with Lyon and Gray teaming-up should had been reserved for the Ultear fight with an extra slot for a little bit of sexy-time Erza intervention and revelation. ( instead of just Azuma being the tell-tale for Ultear->Jellal manipulation scheme. )
For Ultear, arguably the villain with the most hype and character foreshadowing to be down from the count with just 'your usual Gray fight' was a little bit disappointing.
With that being said, I really liked the flashback used this time round, and the usage of the whole 'Ur flowed to the sea' thing felt quite natural and decent considering. ( Again, if only Lyon were a part of this battle too... I would had liked Lyon to had seen something as well. )

For Ultear, arguably the villain with the most hype and character foreshadowing to be down from the count with just 'your usual Gray fight' was a little bit disappointing.
To be fair, Ultear was defeated by Ul. I don't think she was really that hurt by the end of it; not by Gray's attacks and I'm sure it wasn't his words that got through to her either. Personally I'm a little disappointed that Ultear's story was basically rounded up with "Whops! It was all a big misunderstanding...". Though Gray wouldn't have had a chance to come out of this any other way, and we already had two very shounen-ish "I'm not going down until I beat you" fights with Natsu and Erza, so I'm pretty satisfied with the fight overall.
I wonder how she met Hades...pure coincidence? :heh:
Hades must have had his hands in that medical facility, and probably many others as well, in order to "adopt" the children with the greatest potential to learn the lost magics.
hmmm. Mashima won't sway me on this by parading her boobs around. She had better stayed evil evil evil. I gotta admit though I expected actually worse than this for the backstory so I am less pissed than should be :heh:.
I just hope she dies here now instead of joining FT or some crap. Or if she does not die, than please please please bigboobed lady, silently crawl away and plot some LONELY revenge against Hades that will bear fruit in later chapters. Please not another GM FT recruit XD

Have to that the word "convenient" applies to ch241 but despite that I still oddly quite liked it.
Well at least it looks like Ultear will stop her attempts at killing Gray but whether or not she switches sides is another matter and tbh I don't want her to(altho there is a little part of me that does want)
Gildartz's line was great lol.
Would have loved to see him at full power tho but then I suspect he would have wiped the floor with Blue note even quicker.
Epic colour spread is epic colour spread!
So guess the "monster trio" are gonna fight together next?
Hope so, don't think we've had that yet.

THAT RIGHT, I've said it!
Ultear: "I'm not on Fairy Tail's side... I'm on Gray's side."

...okay, how many people actually read Rave Master? Mashima's never made a female villain, or really, any villain, beyond redemption or at least, incapable of feeling something. That's just how he is.
And I call Ultear's death flag.
Yes, you heard me, death flag. :cool: It pains me to lose any good looking woman but...
how straannngeee... Ur's voice and memories are ringing in the ocean??? hahaha... I almost forget that this is shounen manga
what a quick fight from the leader of Grimoire's elites..... I can't believe that she is defeated because of 'mentally unstable'... lol
ugh... somehow I wish Gray X Urtear pair.... anyone want to join me??

Well, I would think that Jiero of despair would count as one. She was one of the Great Demon Lords that assisted Lucia and was involved in a major fight of her own when the final battle started.
As for the Fairy Tail chaper itself, I found it to be a very interesting read. So we get to find out about Ultear's past and why she turn out the way she is.

while I can Urtear's "turning" coming, I didn't expect such a sloppy background story... >_<
Nice chapter.
Makes you wonder if Mishima has problems with his parents, considering the emotional impact of that scene... :heh:
Not like your suggesting. When Mashima was at Comic Con back in 2008, he gave a few interviews. In one with Publishers Weekly (http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/book-news/comics/article/12434-everyday-hiro-fairy-tail--s-mashima-at-comic-con-.html), it's mentioned that his father died when he was young, and the rest of his family was supportive of his career choice.

I was expecting Mashima to drag that flashback out to at least the next chapter. :heh:
What a waste of a good villain. While having a sympathetic backstory isn't unexpected, it's certainly odd to deal with the longest-running villain in the series by means of a half-chapter flashback. I mean, Ultear was in chapter 1, and she gets dealt with like a normal 7 Kin grunt?

Well, time to summarize the lost magics we've seen this arc and their possible cost.
Arc of Time: Can control the flow of time among non-living objects. Side-effects: It makes you realize you were never really evil and you just wanted to be hugged by your mommy for a long period of TIME.
Arc of Embodiment: You can materialize anything you imagine. Side-effects: Automatic glass armor which will let you get beaten by Freed and Bixlow out of all people.
(Fire) God Slayer: Ability to control black fire that can topple even a Dragon's fire. Side-effects: An ego the size of your super saiyan 3 hair and apparently a PCP/Roid addiction that makes you yell everything you say.
Great Tree Arc: Ability to manipulate trees and roots, and unleashing the energy of the earth into explosions. Side-effects: Use it too much, you're mulch for gardening.
Human Subordination: It can weaken the physical and magical abilities of humans, also allowing them to take control of said human for summons. Side-effects: to get pwn'd so hard by Chuck Norris goat your body itself thinks you are not worthy to exist in the same realm as said goat.
Maguilty Sense: Can make 2 or more people's senses become as one. Side-effects: Umm, huge lesbian tendencies? Alright you got me on that one-v-;;.
Ushi no Koku Mairi: Voodoo doll for yourself or others. Weakness: It makes others realize that you are a huge otaku with no social life or usefulness whatsoever. Now go be fat somewhere else fatty.

The fight was quick because Ultear most likely used up a great deal of her magic in battling and knocking out Zeref. That and since Gray was the one she was after, she'd lose a lot of her composure in fighting him.
And yes, I do see Ultear as FT's 'Reina' - they have a similar character dynamic against their male foils in Musica and Gray. And Grey probably does feel some sense of responsibility for Ultear in that she's his master's daughter.

^ That would require Zeref's awakening so Ultear can gain the full knowledge of 'Time Arc'. She certainly doesn't have the power or skill to gather up the parts of the water that hold Ul's spirit, fuse them together into the ice, then rewind her 10+ years to regain her form.

She can't, or she'd have done it on the Demon Island. As she explained then, the Ice is still "Ur", a "living being".

From the way Hades was talking, combined with what Ultear told us on Galuna, it sounds like [Time Arc]'s (supposedly) greatest power is to send the user backwards or forwards in time, but not other people.
Well lets face it, he might have told her some bullshit to enlist her and that is all there is to it ... otherwise...great more hax incoming :uhoh::upset:

Acknowlogia, I wonder what it could mean? Based on the words that make it, could it be some kind of records of realization, or some kind of element of knowledge?
Maybe its gonna be the spell Hades uses on Zeref to 'awaken' him - like its gonna make Zeref 'acknowledge' his powers and identity again? Or maybe its just a reference to our heros finally having to acknowledge this is how far they can go since Hades is gonna stomp on them now?
I dunno :D
For the longest time I was thinking this Arc would end with Zeref released, and Hades and Ultear escaping, too as main villains for later Arcs. It seems now Ultear either dies or at the least breaks away from Hades or in the worst case joins FT. And we just had that reference to "Zeref's Guild" 0.o ... which makes me very much afraid that actually the complete Grimoir Heart will be dealt with this arc after all. The Seven Kin are out of it now, seems Bluenote, too and apparently the strongest team is gonna try to take Hades down so who knows, maybe its gonna be another Nakama-Tree-FairyGlitter-whatever powerup and Hades is gonna get what he had coming - and then the remaining dark guild will come into focus with Zeref somehow hooking up with them. I would prefer Hades stickin around as the major asshole to aim for for some more time - but seriously, with all those crazy powerups und ridicolous survivals we had... :/

I'm still waiting for Laxus' bad self to show up and save the day. I won't be satified unless Hades gets his ass handed to him by Laxus. Don't know how Mashima would fanagle Laxus in, but he better. Don't put that cross-world, grandfather-grandson, spiritual connection scene to waste! :mad:

I wonder why Gildartz is so exhausted that he can't move. He didn't really get injured that much and he had a relatively easy fight/finishing against his opponent.
If anything, his last move against bluenote seems to indicate that he had power to spare :confused:
Fenrir_valindri
2011-07-04, 22:43
Well, Bluenote was beating on him for the entire time Fairy Tail was de-powered, so I wouldn't underestimate how injured he really is. He probably just gathered up his power and annihilated Blue Note, and once the adrenaline wore off, he was tired. Hence the "I'm getting old" line.

Hades seems like a power house. Bluenote single handedly took down several fairy members easily. Hades took down FT master pretty easily. I'll be really surprised if a few tired FT members can take Hades down. THat would seriously suck. And I don't think Laxus can make it to the island fast enough to join the battle. He seemed a million miles away. For some reason I think the fight w/ Hades will end when someone powerful uses Fairy Glitter...

Cause seriously, when it comes to the remains of at least a semblance of logic concerning the powerlevels and fights - well, we got nice fanservice and some funny moments and some nice lookin fight panels - but going by the above standards about the last third of this arc is FAIL imho :heh:

Well, he looks fine and complete for a very injured and exhausted person...
Anyway I too, hope that those three can't defeat Hades. Erza aside who is S class and hasn't been compared to the other seven kin (the tree user was using the might of the guild so doesn't count), Natsu was easily defeated by bluenote and by association, gray would have been too. Those 2 shouldn't even have much impact on the duel and should be defeated in the first attack by Hades who is stronger than bluenote.
And since the master should be stronger than Erza, Erza alone should not stand a chance. Unless she gets the power of comrades power. A more realistic development would have been Gildartz challenging Hades and either driving/ holding him off or sacrificing himself to defeat Hades. Although since he can't die on the island, it won't really be a sacrifice...
On that note, do you think there is a possibility of super magics being used that would normally cost the individual his life here? Almost every magic related manga has such skills. I mean if I was one of them, my tactic on the island against Hades would be to do some super magic that requires me to sacrifice my life and count on the island to save me. Ice shell?

I guess Acnologia was a spur of the thing moment too, like his random energy bursts of death farts. Acnologia...does that mean a spell that erases all records of acknowledgements of your mind?, Including the acknowledgement of being alive? Scary..., I wonder, what did Zeref lad mean? If an age has to end, he might awaken once again? Anyway, on a lighter note, I like Lily more now^^. He has a thunder and lightning phobia just like I used to back in the day^^.
:twitch: Death in this manga... I still don't believe it. :twitch:
Maybe if Zancrow goes to hell then he can eat hell fire, power up and escape. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff286/nfforums/NF%20smilies/kruemelmonsteryn0.gif
On a more serious note. 3 villains [kinda] dead this arc... wow. Zancrow is dead, Azuma is like Ur but a tree, and Zoldeo left this world (whether he's dead or spirit world is unknown). Plus Kain is now doll less and pretty much useless now.
The odds of Meredy joining Fairy Tail is off the chart at this point in my books, and Natsu is all but promised a massive power up (if it works is the question).
Had a weird thought... that boy who stares at the sea is from the future as guessed and all of Fairy Tail on the island has as a result of the magic released upon this new "era" being created (and likely Zeref's awakening) will have been teleported to that future and will appear right in front of that boy. :heh: Only be taken to Fairy Tail to find out Laxus has taken over the guild with every ones disappearance these last few years (or more) and many people we know in the guild will have aged and hopefully gotten stronger (hoping Alzack and Bisca have finally hooked up). Though like Edolas arc I suspect it will be a dark world (likely with most of humanity wiped out) and there will be a chance to "return" things to the way they where before... after all it is Fairy Tail we're talking about.

Ryus: Although your analysis is very good, 2 things:
a- You REALLY want Laxus back desperately don't cha?
b- Isn't it a little dark for a future analysis? I mean we still haven't dealed with the Dragon dissappearance and Raven Tail yet. Can't we do that first before Fairy Tail kicking the bucket and being left to a new generation after?
Edit: Alright guys time for a game. Although we all know that Hades will get roflcurbstomped by Nakama power or Zeref Lad's ultimate mind rape ability that makes the Men in Black's pen look like a Kodak camera Acknoparameciazoanlogia, how powerful will Hiro make Hades look? We had a taste with Grimmjow, err, Grimoire law, so I'm gonna use an animé scale to compare, please don't change it I worked very hard with the little knowledge that I have. On a scale of, hmm, Kenpachi to..., hmm, Arceus. RATE YOUR OLD GUY! *you can use other anime character names to measure up between them 2*

A) Yes, though this is more due to Laxus sensing Makarov than my desire for him to return. Since my desire is for him to beat up Hades, for the council to make FT a dark guild, and then for Erza and co to rescue Jerral since he's an ally and there a dark guild anyways so why not break the stupid law that keeps a [now] good man in prison. :heh: So this is far from my desire... believe it or not.
B) Yes again, but once again this is more based on all that pic of the boy who stares at the sea. More specifically all the news papers blowing in the wind. I just feel it's the cliche of a destroyed society. Plus the date on the paper appeared to be several years in the future. Then built my speculation upon that. As stated I feel everything will be "fixed" by arcs end or close enough... So the Dragon's disappearance, Raven Tail, why the spirit kind answered Lucy (I feel spirit world is tied into the dragons plot for some reason), and The Dark Guild Tartaros will jumped over for now plot wise though revisited after this arc. In fact if correct that this vision of the future could foreshadow and give hint to all those plot lines and the characters of Fairy Tail will use this knowledge to actually state the main plot lines of the series after they set things right again.
Best way to put it, I feel that like in One Piece, Fairy Tail has tons of pointless plot lines when it stated out (Island arcs of OP vs Mission arcs of FT). So here is where the main plot will start kicking in for Fairy Tail, Hades and Zeref are the vessels for this (and maybe will be lasting plot points too, we all know this manga needs some :p). I hope I just made sense. :heh:
Zeref said he'll "awaken" if it's the end of an age, so can we be certain to say that he's an immortal?!

What wasted Zancrow like the fodder he was was Zerefs "normal" destructive magic, only after Aknolodgia it is much more devastating - even though he is not fully there yet with the awakening. I'm guessing when he awakens he'll loose his sanity and that was it with being seemingly neutral or even sympathetic to Fairy Tail. If Laxus does not show up I guess there is a good chance that Zeref will loose it against Hades and go on a rampage after killing him - unless instead of Laxus comin to the rescue Gildartz or Gramps squeeze out some last ounce of power...
BTW I do hate to say it but I have a weird feeling that IF there is a FT death, it might not be Gramps but actually Gildartz - cause I guess Kana is about ready to follow in his footsteps once she gets control of the Glitter. I didn't think something like that would happen when she acted all brainless without her booze, but I feel other than Zeref and Hades free magic Fairy Glitter is the third big thing in this arc -- or at least it should be if its anything like LAW - I wonder though if Mashima makes use of it.
I wonder if Lilys fear of lightning is foreshdowing Laxus arrival or just a general bad omen ...

Can't wait to see the anime cover this :love: and Lucy Fire :heh::rolleyes::heh:
Finally the manga is reaching another climax, I am convinced that Gildartz and Makarov will join the battle soon enough! Without the Big Guns, the show cannot end!

2011-07-10, 21:20
Its quite possible. Even though Gildartz said he was tired I doubt he will be out of the battle so soon. If Mashima does feature Laxus at the end of this arc I am curious to see how he going to make him appear.
Just a random thought...
Hades can use all forms of known magic and maybe use many Lost magics to a high potential (clearly all o the magic used by GH members).
Here is the hints in the plot so far:
Bluenotes whole talk about all magics originally being one magic (and of anyone whom has traced magic the furthest back to it's roots its Hades, thus implying he can use many magics). Plus Bluenotes shock at someone like Cana using Fairy Glitter when so unskilled and weak, clearly implies he believed only someone old and wise could use all magic... Thus implying Hades might be the reason why he believes this.
Zancrow stated HADES taught him Fire God Slayer magic... I guess Nastu can't (as effectively) Nakama punch him if this turns out to be true and Hades can also use Fire Dragon Slayer magic
Ultear has used at least 3 different magics this arc: Arc of time, Ice Creation magic, and summoning that sword... Plus her flash back with Hades implies himself taught her Arc of Time. This to me implies Hades was beginning to teach her other magics too since she was "the most trusted"... Offtopic: I wonder why she of all people was trusted though? :heh:
Hades himself said he taught the 7 kin lost magic, not helped them develop it... clearly implying he taught them more directly than Makarov, whom just guided FT down the proper path and let them develop there magic on there own.
Makarov was shocked at how quickly Hades was summoning spells and Hades then stated "he danced with Magic freely" (could this mean he knows it all and can choose the best spell at uber skill levels whenever he wishes?)

Great speculation, Ryus. :) I have to admit the thought had crossed my mind before; I just never fleshed it out as much as you have. :heh:
Though that first one may be a bit of a stretch...

Doesn't surprise me at all that you thought of it too since I thought of it myself long before too, but only now finally got motivated to post something about it. :eyespin::heh::eyespin:
As to the first one, the last half defiantly is stretch but the first half is literally the Raison d'être for Grimoire Heart... finding the source of all magic. Hades himself mentioned tracing the all magic back to it's source after all and implied that was the reason why he formed Grimoire Heart in the first place.
EDIT: Anyone else hoping we get dialog between "Third Fairy Tail" and Hades before the fight truly starts? I'd sure love to see there faces when he states he was Fairy Tails second master :heh: and Erza's when she questions him about what they did to Gerard. :upset:

I would not be surprised if we do get some dialogue between them.
Also "Third Fairy Tail" is apparently a slight mistranslation. A slightly better translation would be "Third generation Fairy Tail."

I guess pretty much to the point, few minor things though: Despite being capable of using all those lost magics, they still DO come at a price as the Seven Kin showed. If Hades could use them all indiscriminately, what is the point for him of even giving them to his underlings? If he could do all that, he would not need them, other than for the pure fun of corrupting them and leading them astray like Jelly and Boobybitch :D
I do think though its highly likely his casting speed, the power he gets out of his spells and his versatility are unreal. If nobody sacrifices him or herself and nobody like Laxus shows he's gonna troll em bad, I agree. (or at least HE SHOULD TROLL EM BAD - never underestimate a mangaka being bent on the OOOGI - ULTIMATE SPARKLIN GOLDEN NAKAMA PUNCH (also known as mavis flamin fart) :facepalm)

Tbh I'd be a little disappointed if Hades gets rolled by Laxus. In fact the only way I'd be happy with a Hades defeat is if it involves Gildatz, Laxus and Makarov, as well as the team currently fighting him; maybe Ultear, Gajeel and Juvia as well.
Fenrir_valindri
2011-07-16, 03:01
I don't think Laxus will roll him just like that, I expect he will have to team up with the surviving members to fight Hades (which would also serve to show he has matured a bit), but he should turn what is about to be a VERY lopsided fight into something that isn't impossible.

No matter what happens next, I gotta say this fight has my attention, this chapter was quite spectacular...multi-magic barrage with a hidden dragon flaming bullet Natsu headbutt! I think the best way this would go down imo is in a riddle-like manner to find out about the source of magic and use it against Hades. If Mashima goes down this path, I bet Zeref would be the one to kill Hades, and hype up for the next arc.

That was a brilliant team battle, better than even when the SH's team battle.
Well next chapter title is a dead give away, I kinda get the feeling we might actually see all the FT members on the Island join the battle, that would be pretty epic and would certainly make Hades live up to hype.
Due to the nature of the series I can't shake the feeling that Wendy turned into air to avoid the attack due to something Grandeeney did or gave to her, think like Natsu's scarf. That said I'd really laugh if she turned into an orb like Grandeeney. :heh:

The chapter was really good. I liked the team battle from everyone it was very awesome. I kinda knew their attacks might not work since Hades did knock out Makarov with ease but it was still a very cool team attack. As for Wendy I think Hades teleported her somewhere. Her clothes remaining could be that he teleports people but not their clothes. This kinda reminds me of the invention from Lala of To Love Ru. Where she can teleport people anywhere except for their clothing. I am very excited to see the next chapter though. I am curious to see what else Natsu and everyone are going to do against Hades.

No golden flames this time around. It's a good thing that Natsu never wins the same way twice :)
A good way to start an important fight, guess the team will probably lose in the end, until Fairy Tail's big guns return.

c- To summarize how I feel about this chapter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anweaEHjMD0 , and those are my final thoughts, suck on that Jerry Springer^^. (Just in case I liked the chapter, don't just say I hated it because of the title of the video)

2011-07-23, 00:59
Hmm in my case I didn’t read the chapter’s title but I got the feeling Laxus was gonna made an appearance an entrance the moment they showed thundery clouds and Happy whining about it.
Now that we got Laxus I wonder how he’ll fare against Hades, seeing Hades just basically massacred the whole FT gang using his Liquid Snake Revolver-Ocelot MGS 4 look-a-like magic ‘Bangs’. At this point Laxus could possibly unleashes his Fairy Law and have its effect in full force against someone viewed as an ‘enemy’. That being said, I also imagine Laxus losing against Hades but will get help from Natsu & co, but I swear it would be lame if they use the generic Nakama power to beat Hades.
Another question is how did Laxus manage getting to the island? I assume he uses thunder as a medium and travels in ligtning speed but I hope it gets explained better in the next chapter.

I assume he uses thunder as a medium and travels in ligtning speed but I hope it gets explained better in the next chapter.
Well he did storm the ship as a thunderbolt...
Nice chapter, lots of badass vibes coming from Hades and his shining fingers, Natsu got beat up real bad this time. but I swear it would be lame if they use the generic Nakama power to beat Hades.
Don't see it happening this time around. I think that, while Luxus is indeed strong, he will only weaken Hades, and Zeref will be the one to deal the finishing blow. Seriously though, you just CAN'T have a fairy tail master saying "is this the power of fairy tail?", sounds ridiculous.
aww... Wendy is saved in a strange way.... naked loli inside a clock and then just come back with full set of plain clothes (imagining 'dirty' things... xD) <--- Is it really important to do some shock therapy to all of us in the end of previous chapter??
anyway, Welcome Back Laxus.... (although it's already predictable).... XD

Hades words made me more curious to learn what Fairy Tail was all about before Makarov took over. A dark past in Fairy Tail's history would be awesome imo.
As for the fight, I loved the Horologium part; I knew there had to be another use for him other than Lucy's emergency transportation, and he got his very first cool moment too. Hades is godly, as expected. I really like this villain. The Fairy gang gave their usual cheese-fest speech, but I actually found it really intense this time. I really liked it. I wasn't particularly excited about Laxus's appearance. With so many "Dynamic Entries" that I've seen it doesn't have the same impact it used to.
The drama throughout the chapter was epic, though I wish Erza had put up a bit more fight, while my inner shipper wanted Lucy to cry a little more for Natsu. If anyone is gonna lay the finishing blow on Hades, I want it to be Makarov more than Laxus, Zeref or anyone else. Ideally though, I'm hoping for a Hades victory with Fairy Tail barely managing to scrape away with their lives.

Then lucy and erza will have a lesbian moment and then......wait huh?? oops srry i got carried away there
the chapter title was obvious that Laxus is back so it wasn't surprising but its still good to see him again.
It didn't need to be a surprise. At the end of the day it was classic Mashima badarse moment. I loved every second of it.
I was waiting for the Laxus moment ever since the 'inherit my will' bit several chapters back. I was not disappointed.
Sometimes, things don't have to be a surprise to be cool.

well, technically they are stilll unkillable on the island so I guess the getting up is fine.
I'm glad that they had to pull in laxus to fight hades. Otherwise it would have been an asspull. Hopefully the rest of the crew (except gildarts and maybe urza) stays out of it.

So what did Makarov change about FT when he became master.
On Naruto Forums somebody was joking that maybe in the past FT was a dark guild, I do not think that, but it would appear that Makarov took the nakama crap up a notch after Purehito's time? It's weird though since when they started fighting Makarov said he got all those traits from Purehito in the first place. Well Mashima is so busy with stupid wendy pseudocliffhangers that maybe he forgot to check if what people are blabbering makes sense. I mean for the most part Hades said "BANG" so prly he wasnt used to giving his words too deep thought ...:heh:
LOL @ Lucy's reaction to Horologium's unexpected rescue of Wendy. I have to admit, that's one possibility that never crossed my mind... I'm happy that we didn't have to wait several chapters to find out Wendy's fate.

It would be so awesome if Purehito could extract the dragon lacryma from Luxus(I imagine it'd be excruciatingly painful), that'd up the drama level to the max.

I think Laxus will die :3 just my hunch
Found this while browsing for new images on DA - I'm posting it here because of the rather hilarious commentary. Besides, it's just a quick edit of the scanlated page, so not worth posting in the image thread. :heh:

Wow, didn't know in DA they were picky about details. They should've just written down, Hi, I'm Laxus, BOOM! HEADSHOT!, nice to meet ya.
Looks like a few people over on DA didn't read the last few chapters of Laxus' arc.

To be fair, blowing up a town seems to be in the spirit of fairy tail. Judging from the extensive collateral damage they do on missions :heh:

so laxus finally shows up eh? how did he know they needed his help?

Logically since he deduced Makarovs "message" to him at the end ch 215. We may or maynot get more detals next chapter, like how he figured out the message and where they were.
Let's not read too much into that, it's probably going to be something along the lines of 'feeling there was something he had to do' or 'feeling his comrades were in trouble' or something like that.
On why Laxus could beat Hades where Makarov couldn't... have we forgotten the past chapters where they time and time again hinted at Makarov's failing health? Powerful though he still is, Makarov is long past his prime. And unlike Hades, he is not reaching for dark arts, which are almost always filled with all kinds of neat ways to cheat time.

Please, Mashima, no more overdramatization in each fights. It's getting old (fast).
This is the big boss fight. If there's ever a time for drama, it's now.

I'll plead that it has just so happened that the missions were never in their town :D
Besides, have you forgotten that the town could shift due to Gildarts? That indicates that at least Gildarts was in the habit of wreaking their town :heh:

That's because Gildarts is a total ditz when he's not serious. :heh:

Nah, it's an understandable complaint given that Laxus hasn't had much of a chance to atone for threatening to murder people he'd know since they were children, causing various injuries to most of the guild, with a couple more attempted murders thrown in, as well as threatening to, then attempting to destroy the town and kill most of it's population. All done in an attempt to seize leadership of the guild for himself. He left rather humbled and with some thinking to do, but he hasn't expressed much in the way of regret for his crimes. Or an acceptance of Makarov's ideals either. The best that can be said at the moment is that he took responsibility for his actions, and the 2-3 months he spent wandering around are plenty of time for him become remorseful and so forth even if we won't see it in the immediate future.
To be fair, blowing up a town seems to be in the spirit of fairy tail. Judging from the extensive collateral damage they do on missions :heh:
It's the difference between something done accidentally, and something done on purpose. Not to mention that Laxus's attempt included attempting to kill a bunch of innocent people which definitely falls outside the guild's spirit.

So what did Makarov change about FT when he became master.
May be they used to not blowing up towns?

How many episodes are there in Fairy Tail? :)

Before this goes further, let me clarify that the statement was a joke. Guess it is hard to convey thus in a text forum even with smileys.
