Please don't start the shipping, please I beg you!!! :upset::uhoh::help::nono::eek:

jk:rolleyes:

[Tempest35]

A quickie. :D

~*~

"Natsu, what's wrong?"

No reply...

The look on his face told her that something had upset him enough to make him seek her out. She put down her book and almost immediately Natsu sat down beside her, his hands folded together.

"Today.... it was today."

Today... Ezra quickly thought about today's date ... and understanding dawned in her eyes. That's why he was like this... "Natsu..."

"I know it's been a while since ... that time." Natsu's knuckles turned white with the grip he was putting on himself. "Still..." He blinked as his head was forced down into Ezra's lap of all places. "E-Ezra!?"

"Ssssh," she cooed, running her fingers through his hair. "I understand." When Natsu didn't show signs of resisting her, she continued. "I remember the first time I did this...it was on this day too, wasn't it..."

"Yeah..." Natsu felt himself relaxing, the nostalgic feeling welling up within him as well. "I was crying then too."

"Yes, it took a while but you finally went to sleep on my lap." She smiled as Natsu turned his head to look up at her. "I told you then too - my lap is for you whenver you feel tired or sad."

Natsu's eyes slowly closed as Ezra began to hum some obscure song, her fingers continuing to run through his hair. "Thanks, Ezra."

'Today' = anniversery of the day that Ingeel disappeared

Yeah, felt I wanted to write something other than Claymore that wasn't going to take days to go through. lol

[Mizuno]

Don't know how many people have this particular pic of Titania but...here. :D

Now, to work...:sad:
All hail Titania?

[Magin]

don't you mean, All hail Titania?

... sorry, I couldn't resist :p

[cloak_and_dagger]

don't you mean, All hail Titania?

... sorry, I couldn't resist :p

rofl, classic one my friend.

[Waven]

don't you mean, All hail Titania?

... sorry, I couldn't resist :p

And here's someone who complains about the ecchi talk in the r+v thread :heh: :p

[Magin]

Well, that kind of pic is only occasional

R+V, specifically the anime, killed the plot with fanservice

[cloak_and_dagger]

R+V, specifically the anime, killed the plot with fanservice

That's absolutely correct. I stopped watching the anime after episode 8. I may get flamed for this, but with fanservice, sometimes there is too much of a good thing.

[Tempest35]

Well, here's to hoping that Fairy Tail will get picked up by a good studio soon. It's not so much the story and plots that I want to see animated - I just want to see these characters animated. They're so full of life as they are now - to see them moving and talking and fighting - that would be the highlight of the anime for me. :)

[Magin]

it would be very... interesting... to see the characters animated

also, the only time when excess amounts of fanservice is good is when there's no plot in the first place (i.e., most hentai... it is just extreme fanservice, after all). Plot+ large amounts of fanservice don't mix well

[Xhokhusmak]

Well, here's to hoping that Fairy Tail will get picked up by a good studio soon. It's not so much the story and plots that I want to see animated - I just want to see these characters animated. They're so full of life as they are now - to see them moving and talking and fighting - that would be the highlight of the anime for me. :)

I'd have a lot of faith :P Hiro won't settle for the masses of mediocre studios. It's either a great studio or no animated series at all for him.

[Tempest35]

OH sh** TEH BUNNY SUIT... 0,0

Damn, Gazille got pimped out...lol That's actually quite a snazzy suit he's got.

Still...teh bunny suit.... 0,0

[Bonta Kun]

ALL HAIL THE BUNNY SUIT!!!!:bow::bow::bow::bow:

lol quite the crazy chapter, everything down to Gazille kidnapping Mirajane so he can get on stage to Lucy being totally ignored.

and like Tempest says

"Still...teh bunny suit.... 0,0"

its just.............jaw dropping!

[Fenrir_valindri]

The bunny suit! :twitch:

But no really, that was hot.

----

And Gazille's song :heh: that was awesome, quite the nice suit as well.

I like how the chapter started so sinister with him looking all menacing. :eyespin:

[Samanosuke]

Bunny Suit Erza = more win than WIN !
Also , Gazille Shubidoba shalala had me on the floor hahaha .

..poor Lucy though xD
wonder who's the old dude though , ...maybe her (real ? O_o ) Father ?

[Tempest35]

Okay, since the chapter's out...

Honestly now, did anyone think that Mira was actually in trouble when they showed her bounded by Gazille? I really didn't - I think I was more '0,0' since she was in the new waitress outfit... Bad me...:D

...and special mention....'the bunny suit'...:heh:
Why would that one be her favorite one anyway...she saving it for Natsu? :D 'The Strongest Armor' - Those who see it, weep in absolute despair...:heh:


ALL HAIL TITANITA~

Ooops ~ *run away

Real father ? It might explain why his father are too strict to her before. Or maybe it was her father who went bankrupt after the last incident xD;;;

If she really was in trouble, that's be the easiest infiltration of FT, hence making them look ridiculous.

...and special mention....'the bunny suit'...:heh:
Why would that one be her favorite one anyway...she saving it for Natsu? :D 'The Strongest Armor' - Those who see it, weep in absolute despair...:heh:

:eyebrow: Weep in absolute despair or cry with happiness?

But really though, is it just me or does her favourite suit being a bunny make her 10 times hotter?!?

I'm gonna color that. And smile >:D

[Tempest35]

'Weeping in absolute despair' = Bunny will NEVER BE YOURS. muahaahaahaah~

[Bonta Kun]

didn't think she was in trouble cause Gazille ain't that stupid to do something to her. He failed against FT when he was with Phantom, so no way he would manage anything buy himself.
Thought there was something stupid behind it all but I totally didn't see him singing being one of them, that totally caught me off.

and the Bunny won't be ours cause it belongs to Natsu!

hell yeah! bring on the shipping!:heh:

[Waven]

on a side note, is Lubia /Luvia trying to complement the half-naked Grey by overclothing herself with her outfit (in contrast to other Fairy Tail bun... uuuhm girls) ? :heh:

[Xhokhusmak]

Why was Luvia's guildcard left blank? T_T Shubida brings back memories XD



http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3124/bunnysuitezraog9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)




That's a mistranslation. What it really says in that bubble on the left is "I CAME!!!"

What's funny is, nobody mentioned anything about Lucy in a bunny suit. It's like her situation in that chapter made a direct transcendence into real life. XD Poor Lucy.

[cloak_and_dagger]

She probably hasn't even filled it out yet. :)

Lucy wears less when she's in normal clothes... -.-;

[cloak_and_dagger]

That and I saw Erza first, so she gets canceled out. When I first read the manga I had to read it again.

[Magin]

The bunny suit ain't bad, I admit; however, I'm probably one of the few guys around here who doesn't have that fetish

I still need to read the actual chapter, though

[Bonta Kun]

ah well as much as I love "teh bunny suit" I love the naked apron better:D

now Erza in just an apron........:love::love::love::bow::bow::bow::nau ghty::naughty::naughty:

[Magin]

I know what you're thinking - Kazehana apron on Ezra....am I right? :D

[ellifeedn]

Can nothing top the legendary naked apron?

[Magin]

There is always the maid fetish

but topping the naked apron... very hard to do, unless you want to actually start going down the hentai route, starting with strawberries dribbled across the body, with whipped cream (or whatever that was that I know I read somewhere)

you need to stop before someone gets too excited *o*

[Magin]

Too late for that, I'm afraid

[sumowow]

You guys are all starting to sound like perverts....and ive never felt more at home.

[Bonta Kun]

You guys are all starting to sound like perverts....and ive never felt more at home.

I like to think that everyone here has a perverted side cause if you didn't I don't think you would like being here:heh:

plus it involves Erza so it can't be helped:D she brought it on by saying her fav suit was "teh bunny suit"

[ellifeedn]

Think of it as embracing a darker side of fanservice.


...I think I'll just step away from this thread until another chapter comes out:uhoh:.

[tehjoker]

Think of it as embracing a darker side of fanservice.
do they has kewkiez?

[Magin]

No, but we have cookies!

[Sin Ansem]

Personally I dig the Mirajane bondage...*shot*

[cloak_and_dagger]

Personally I dig the Mirajane bondage...*shot*

I usually hate bondage, but that Mirajane scene was just too hot. :love:

[Waven]

It seems the upcoming arc somehow focuses on Luxus and i bet we'll see his soft side along the way ;)

[Magin]

We sure Luxus has a soft side? Then again, the rules dictate that guys like him usually do, hidden deep inside

[Tempest35]

It better be one hell of a soft spot to even think of redeeming Luxus in my eyes. He's too much of an ass to let his current attitude slide just from a 'soft spot'.

[ellifeedn]

He could always be the "spoiled brat who rides on the coat-tails" type of character.

[Magin]

It better be one hell of a soft spot to even think of redeeming Luxus in my eyes. He's too much of an ass to let his current attitude slide just from a 'soft spot'.

I completely agree

[Majek]

now that's a chapter i enjoy. even if i have no f idea what's going on in it.

[Anh_Minh]

He could always be the "spoiled brat who rides on the coat-tails" type of character.

Don't think so. He really is strong, or his grandfather wouldn't let him take on S class missions. And he wouldn't have dodged Natsu with such ease.

[Tempest35]

I'll give it to Luxus, he's strong, but even that goes out the window when considering his personality and the way he treats his own guildmates.

EDIT:
Wow, my respect for Gazille just went through the roof! 0.0 Doesn't help that I'm listening to that 'Be A Man' song from Mulan....lol Taking a direct bolt from Luxus to protect Levi-chan... And lol at Ezra - not even in the chapter but still. LOL :heh: But now it seems that there just might be a reason that he's so upset about Fairy Tail being the way it is now. I can guess as to what that might be but for now, I'll wait and see what other people think about Luxus. :)

[Xhokhusmak]

Before you come to early conclusions, Luxus just has a very large sense of Fairy Tail pride, albeit so greedy high that it becomes obviously dangerous, but it's just the way Fairy Tail is! :)

Despite his ultimately bad intentions about taking leadership of the guild, what he did was pretty natural. Outraged by random idiots talking crap about his guild, he not only went to rearrange their faces, but he went back to see what the problem is, and fix it in his own way. He's never met Gazille before, but after hearing what Gazille did to his guild, of course he wants to kill somebody like that. Unfortunately, he has a lot of friendly-fire rage, that's all.

[cloak_and_dagger]

Am I the only one who's disgusted by Gazille's shielding of Levi and apparently warm and fuzzy heart? :mad:

O hope Luxus leaves FT with a head full of dangerous ideals. That'd make things interesting.

[Tempest35]

I really never pegged the Iron Dragon Slayer for being a 'warm' and 'fuzzy' type anyway. :heh: :heh:

[Bonta Kun]

You know I hate to admit this but I do think Natsu and Lucy do make a good couple:p don't get me wrong I'm still for ErzaxNatsu, just LucyxNatsu does go well together.

on side note GrayxLluvia go good very well together, their just too cute!!:D

anyone else think people that Zod knows will go after FT?

[NoLongerSane]

I really enjoyed this chapter. It looks like Luxus has become an extreme jerk because of how others are perceving Fairy Tail. I like that Gazille is trying to fit in, and allowed some of the members of Shadow Gear to get some retribution on him. What really irked me was how Luxus was beating on Gazille and was about to turn his anger on Levi. In all honesty, I really do hope that one of the other S-Ranks can bring him down a peg. I liked that Lluvia got a mission with Grey, it is just to bad that we will probably get to see any panels showing on how they are doing. Lol at Erza for complaining that her new armor did not fit due to it consticting her chest.

[Fenrir_valindri]

Gazille certainly gained some GAR points here, my opinion of him is swiftly rising. Lluvia's words appear to have gotten to him, and he really wants to be accepted, even if it is just to continue his work.

Luxus is rather interesting in his Pride/Shame of Fairy Tail, but the barkeep made it sound like he may have pissed off the wrong people.


On the note of bringing Luxus down a peg, I also hope that another member of the S-rankers teaches him a lesson, I'm hoping Mistgun :heh:

[Tempest35]

On the note of bringing Luxus down a peg, I also hope that another member of the S-rankers teaches him a lesson, I'm hoping Mistgun :heh:

I'm personally hoping for 'Old Geezer' to do it. :) That way we finally get to see Fairy Tail's top 4. And Natsu....lol I swear my friends act like that when I don't feel like eating.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?"

-.-; ....:heh:

[Ultenth]

on side note GrayxLluvia go good very well together, their just too cute!!:D

anyone else think people that Zod knows will go after FT?

The instant they introduced her I hoped they would make Lluvia a permanent character. I loved her design, and her personality, and even after the redesign she's still pretty awesome. She's probably just about my favorite female character now, she cracks me up and seems like a perfect fit for Gray.

[Anh_Minh]

I prefer her new look, TBH. Personality wise, I must admit she's grown on me. I hope Gray returns her feelings. (Though it looks like he might have a thing for Erza. Can't blame him. Erza's awesome and gorgeous. And awesomely gorgeous.)

[Von Himmel]

Gray prefers onee-san chara for a gf lol :p
I wonder about Luxus. . Not to mention that there are 3 plot that still need to be developed. First is Igneel. . And then the mysterious old man that cried after looking at Lucy's picture. Not to mention Ultear ^^;

Eventhough Igneel and Ultear might wait, what about the other two ?

I think Luxus' arc are going to be short and then jumped to the old man's arc or something like that.

uxus is rather interesting in his Pride/Shame of Fairy Tail, but the barkeep made it sound like he may have pissed off the wrong people.
Which reminds me. . I think that he became really pissed off because every time he went out, others are always bad-mouthed Fairy Tail. Because of that, maybe he just want them to shut up and make the guild better in his own way ^^;

[ShikaShika]

I've learned not to take the plot seriously much anymore, I'm just reading along for the fun of it. Things like Gazille taking that teaching job from under Lucy's nose, that's hilarious. :D

[Tempest35]

Only thing is, just what is he going to teach those kids??? :confused: :twitch:
Gazille as 'Kindergarten Cop'....*falls over laughing*

[cloak_and_dagger]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Will he pull out a shotgun and baby shower?!?!

ROFL!!!!!!

[Majek]

new peoples new troubles xDD

and a cute kid ( well aren't they always XXXD)

[Magin]

Gazille is slowly redeeming himself, and Luxor needs to be taken out

That's my conclusion so far

[kayote]

i really hope Luxor dose't become one of those good guys after there next mission or something. i really like him as a bad character. it would be bad if he became all part of fairytail like all the others.

[Waven]

Told you there'd be a flashback that shows Luxus can't be all that bad from the start. This probably will turn into what you guys feared as the luxus-redeeming-arc. Maybe it'll be even as Happy said, a tournament but to be honest i rather see that comment as a parody of this clichee where they all pee their pants just looking at the matchups at the grid and stuff :D

[Zlostur]

Damn, that would suck...

Why do they always do this - introduce a character and make him out as a complete jackass only to show later that he has a hard childhood/soft side. And then, we are supposed to just magically forgive him for his jerky behavior just like that? Give me a break!

Why can't they just make Luxus be a complete asshole. That way it would be so much more satisfying when Natsu kicks his ass later on. Oh, man, I miss the good old days when villains were just evil.

It's like in One Piece when Bellamy was introduced as this ultimate unforgivable jerk, it felt so really good when Luffy kicked his ass with just one punch and slammed him into the ground. now imagine if they made a flashback of Bellamy having a childhood drama which supposedly explains why he became a jerk in the first place. Seriously, how many of you would forgive his behavior? I'm glad One Piece went for the more conventional road.

[Xhokhusmak]

I dun care about the Luxus flashback really.

Bring in all of the missing Fairies so we can see them all in action baby! Lets hope Mira joins in on the fun. ^_^

Although, Bixlow seems a little waaaay too out of place to be any type of Fairy Tail member. :O

and muahaha Cyclops/Flash Man. XD

[Tempest35]

Hnnn, Okay so that's what happened with Luxus...

Grey and Lluvia are both gone too, don't know if they'll be back in time for this. And hell, Natsu's sick too. Maybe this will be Lucy's time to really shine. :)

[kayote]

it would be a joak if Lucy manages to defeate Luxus. even if she manages to have a decent match-up against him it would put Luxus down in the power chart. lucy is by no way as powerfull as Luxus. she is well out of his leauge.

[Anh_Minh]

Maybe she's got just the right spirit. Some rubber monkey spirit immune to lightning. But I doubt it.

[technomo12]

sigh i just wisj these were animated soo i can see what is punching from eveading or parrying blow Y_Y

[Tempest35]

lol Lucy taking on Lexus... Natsu just needs Ezra to threaten him with shovage to get his butt moving again. This will probably feature Ezra vs Luxus for a few panels - I personally wouldn't mind seeing it. But the best way to counter-out lightning would be to use....metal. Water actually sends electricity through faster so good thing Lluvia isn't here - she'd be fried from the inside out.

[Waven]

Don't forget she's got a full fledged (ex) guild member up her sleeve whom she hasn't "used" as a spirit yet. She may not be that strong right now but the way she can advance with more and more spirits combining their powers seems like a vast potential to me.

[Anh_Minh]

Loki wasn't an S member either.

And it's apparently very difficult to use several spirits at the same time. I don't think she'll be getting that upgrade just yet.

[Bonta Kun]

Loki wasn't an S member either.

And it's apparently very difficult to use several spirits at the same time. I don't think she'll be getting that upgrade just yet.

very diificult?!! using any number of spirits that number more than 1 can potentially kill her out right.
but yea I don't think she will be getting that upgrade anytime soon either, shes good but shes not that good:)

I really hope we get to see the other S-class mages battle it out too, or at least introduce us to the "old geezer"

I'm still waiting for my Mira-chwan comeback, you know its gonna be awesome!:D

[Xellos-_^]

i am waiting for the manga to reveal who the bum is at the end of 104.

[kayote]

i really hope that Mira gets her powers back. she is suppose to be a real bada**. i can see her pawning almost everyone.

[sumowow]

Ill be waiting for Mistgun, and the other S-rank members to get back on the same day Luxus attacks fairy tail.

[Darklord_bg]

Loki wasn't an S member either.

And it's apparently very difficult to use several spirits at the same time. I don't think she'll be getting that upgrade just yet.

Moreover, she has trouble controlling her more powerful spirits as it is. Aquarius is likely to kill her the next time she gets summoned, unless she is on vacation with her BF, Taurus will probably follow the next hot girl he sees or grope Lucy instead of fight seriously etc...

I do want to see Loki fight seriously though...

[Xhokhusmak]

btw the old guy in 104 is probably the 'old geezer' :P
and related Lucy somehow via some plot-twist

[iceyfw]

I've been keeping my eye on this for a long time. I just skimmed through some chapters to find some real plots and I look forward to the "Dragon Feast" and as to why all(?) of the dragons disappeared the same day from humanities view. Of course there is the matter of Wendy too.

[MooMooFarm]

Been busy, but whoever the hell was arguing with me defending FT for his life, know that while I still think you are wrong about whatever the heck we were talking about, the chapters starting after our talks to until now have been far more productive than the entire tower arc. I mean like, comparing to WSJ series, FT beats out Bleach and Naruto BY FAR except maybe the last 2 weeks for Naruto, tying it.

Luxus got knocked down :[ though, and here I thought he'd be the most awesome. He's just big talk, destined to be owned by Natsu.

And while One Piece is good because they can bring a polished cookie cutter, it's still a damn cookie cutter. FT's peaceful chapters this time are much much better and very refreshing. Though their attempts at showing new members and what not still fail.

Most importantly, even if they won't completely address it, they at least say it out loud, WHO WOULD WIN OUT OF THE SUPER MAGES IN A BRAWL? No other shonen weekly series so far had the balls to go for this.

Wait till FT gets to chapter 500 before comparing it to One Piece. So far it's been pretty good and fast-paced and intriguing, but eventually it could also reach its "Enies Lobby" equivalent.

[MooMooFarm]

Wait till FT gets to chapter 500 before comparing it to One Piece. So far it's been pretty good and fast-paced and intriguing, but eventually it could also reach its "Enies Lobby" equivalent.

No one said FT won't surpass OP. But to always compare Chapter X to Chapter X instead of Chapter NOW to Chapter NOW is stupid. Fact is, WSJ and other manga companies base on the success of NOW, not later. Any manga that can reach 500 obviously already PROVED itself long ago that they have the readers to keep themselves in the running. You can't just GIVE a manga a 500 chapter shot at TRYING to become better, because you have no idea if all of a sudden it just plain SUCKS or if they cancel it. Look at Mx0. By FAR the most promising manga to be canceled bar none. Yet it still got canceled. Nothing is safe. You prove yourself WEEKLY, each and every time, not OH JUST WAIT AWHILE AND SEE WHERE IT GOES.

People like you are the kind of people who go "Oh if you let me have the same amount of time to work on a computer OS and catch up to Bill Gates, I too can make something as good as Windows" no no no you don't GET that kind of chance in real life. You get the time that is presented to you NOW. Mangas that are AHEAD of you EARNED their spots because they started BEFORE YOU. Those 400 chapters they are ahead of you show that they were at a 400 chapter HANDICAP where you COULD HAVE prepared better. Do we care if a NEW company making cars just goes "Give us ten years man, we will make our cars as good as honda!" NO we do not, we go screw you and buy a honda instead of something made in mexico that doesn't even run 10 km.

Which is why I'm clapping my hands this time and not bitching like the Gerard arc. This time it's good, it's interesting, I actually want to read on. Another thing to note is the details ever since the Igneel chapter have gone up lots. Igneel got the crappiest of all craps, and basically was drawn by a ten year old, but Zeref's chapter, and even the full body shot of Luxus was done very well. These few weeks, the art quality and the technique of making a certain character look awesome in full body shots or two pagers belongs to FT, not OP. Naruto and Bleach don't even compare, since it's just same old same old, though Naruto is more awesome than Bleach this week as well.

Relax, I just don't like it when people say some newly introduced manga is so much better than veterans like Naruto/Bleach/OP who have become boring. People have forgotten how they felt about those three when they were just starting. The fact is, it's hard to constantly come up with new ideas, so the fact that One Piece can still be great (IMHO) after 500 chapters is a testament to its worth.

Like I said, I really like Fairy Tail so far, but I still think it's a little early to say it's better than the big 3.

[Waven]

So the Miss fairy tail contest begins. I'd vote for Ezra with her exceptionally cute outfit along the drunk girl whose name i forgot. What's more important is that. What's more important is that Natsu's finally pumped up again ready to wreak some havoc and he surely will.

[Magin]

Natsu's back to his old self? I don't know if that's a good thjing or a bad thing

aw hell, it's a good thing. After all, who doesn't like to see him destroy things as he beats the baddies?

[Tempest35]

Drunk Girl = Kana? And Miss Fairy Tail...Ezra has to be in the top three each year, anything less is just :frustrated:

[Majek]

nice statues o.ob

and One Piece boring? wow. insanity pure.

[Darklord_bg]

Natsu's back to his old self? I don't know if that's a good thjing or a bad thing

aw hell, it's a good thing. After all, who doesn't like to see him destroy things as he beats the baddies?

Hell yeah, it is a good thing.
It's always fun to see him rampage out of control and kick the bad guys' asses.

[TrueKnight]

Chapter 107 is out,

Wow Luxus. What a way to start a rebellion. Aside from all that Erza is just full of win in this one. Though Jubia's not bad too. :love:

Great...an all-out battle brawl! This is just the type of thing the story has been lacking.
Kana and Jubia look great in this one. Erza was disappointing - I expected her to show more skin.

[Tempest35]

Good job Mira, getting Gazille back like that was gold. :D Revenge first, win later - she's a true Fairy Tail!

[Waven]

Ahhh there's the cheesy tournament after all. Just wondering how they will determine the strongest FT member with Erza being 'stone cold' like that. What a lame way to get rid of one of the stronger opponents. Guess Luxus doesn't have the balls to let Erza kick them :D

[Tempest35]

Hnn but now he has raised the GAR levels in every male FairyTail member x10. This will be one heck of a brawl. :D

Although I can't help but wonder if this is his way of making sure that the girls don't get hurt...:eyebrow: ... demented reasoning but he's likely enough to think of such a thing.

[Fenrir_valindri]

I think most of the fairy tail ladies are worthy of praise in this chapter.

My vote goes to Erza of course, Lluvia and then Kana for the top 3. (Feel sorry for Lucy, she didn't get a chance to shine)

And I like how Luxus completely cuts out some of the competition by taking Erza and the other ladies out of the equation. :eyebrow:

Shame, I really wanted to see Erza kick his rear.

On the brightside maybe we will get to see the other potentials for "The Strongest" such as Mistgun and "That Old Geezer."

[Majek]

LOL be real. If Erza or anyone (gramps excluded) could kick Luxus's rear they'd have done it years ago. And it's good that way because now Natsu will get to fight a strong opponent again. He only had 1!!!! big ight where he could shine in 100chapters .

[Darklord_bg]

Ahhh there's the cheesy tournament after all. Just wondering how they will determine the strongest FT member with Erza being 'stone cold' like that. What a lame way to get rid of one of the stronger opponents. Guess Luxus doesn't have the balls to let Erza kick them :D

I doubt that's the case - Luxus has shown many times he's not afraid of Erza. I think it's more like an example of male chauvinism - he doesn't really respect women (though one of his bodyguards is a woman, so that might not be the case). Besides, according to shounen law, the one to "kick his balls" will be Natsu - he's the main character, he's always been quickly and soundly defeated by Luxus, so this will be a necessary step in his development.

I do want to see the other 2 in the "top 4" fight though - Mist Gun and Gildartz, because without them the competition would make no sense.

[Fenrir_valindri]

Erza's power, like Natsu's, has been developing steadily, so I wouldn't be so quick to says she doesn't stand a chance against him. Mute point though, since she is still out of this fight.

Natsu only defeated Gerald because he got a power up from Ethorian, something he does not have right now. (unless of course it got infused into his body somehow)

That said, I don't think Natsu will be the one beating Luxus just yet, I honestly expect to see a showing from the other S class members we have yet to see much of, at least that is what I am hoping for.

Not that Natsu will make a poor showing, I expect him to be acknowledged as S level pretty soon, and this is just the thing he needs to prove it.

[cors8]

I'm going to guess the old guy who recognized Lucy will come and save the day somehow.

[Tempest35]

Watch the old guy = Gildartz. :)

[Bonta Kun]

I'm going to guess the old guy who recognized Lucy will come and save the day somehow.

I really really hope that isn't the case, as much as I want to know who that old guy is, I do not want to see him show up using some uber hax power to save the the day -___-
The old guy I do think is related to Lucy in some way but hopefully not her "real" father thats just too "meh......" for me, I'm thinking he may be from Lucy's mothers side.

but putting that aside for now!

its a Royal Rumble!!! YAY! hopefully a real showcase of the ,ages powers:D

also Erza is just :love::love::love::bow::bow::bow:

[Xhokhusmak]

As I said earlier, old guy = "old geezer" Put two and two together, 90% chance of it happening.

btw, badass entrance there Luxus, and damn... Evergreen just took out the entire female cast there (including 2 and a half S classes).

I'll listen to Happy in page 12 "Everybody should vote!".

Evergreen took my vote for this chapter :P Shit, if she's an assassin, she'd be unmatched considering what she just did. Maybe Mist Gun though, he'll probably be the man to take her down. :P

[technomo12]

hmm me voting fo the suggestion of bonta-kun of saying the old gezzer is somewhat(not her real father) realted to her mother side

then again we might get suprised.........again hehehe

[Anh_Minh]

Erza's power, like Natsu's, has been developing steadily, so I wouldn't be so quick to says she doesn't stand a chance against him. Mute point though, since she is still out of this fight.

If Erza was so strong, she wouldn't have fallen that easily.

She's starting to feel a bit like a Worf. She's supposed to be strong and all, S-class whatever, but when it matters, she gets her fine ass kicked to show how dangerous the enemy is.

[Darklord_bg]

I wouldn't count her out just yet. She was caught off guard, that's why she was stoned. Even the strongest fighter can be defeated by a weaker opponent if caught unawares. But then again, the strongest ones never let their guard down, so she is not that strong after all.

Besides, this is shounen, so like often times, she has to lose temporarily to give the main character the chance to shine. This doesn't mean she's necessarily weaker. I'd still say she's stronger than Natsu, though the gap is getting smaller.

[Anh_Minh]

But it keeps happening. There's always something that takes her out of the fight, so Natsu can be the hero. Like the fight against that other guild. The Master gets taken out, so instead of becoming furious and winning the battle single-handed, she retreats.

And Jubia's the same. As a bad guy, she looked nigh invincible (if not for her crush on Gray). Now, it's all she can do to take care of the mooks.

[Tempest35]

Oh c'mon, they're at the biggest festival of the year for them - during a beauty contest, no less. The only one who had an idea (that we know of) that Lexus was coming back was Master Makarov and he didn't say anything to anyone for fear of 'ruining' it. If he had said something, then they wouldn't have been caught.

Evergreen is one of their nakama, no matter how stuck up she is. And if you know Fairy Tail, they give a lot of chances for someone to redeem themselves.

I actually see Natsu and Gazille working together on this one. The Two Dragon Slayers NEED to work together for this one. Gray's gonna have to take on Evergreen (wall of ice al around her, make her see her own reflection during an unguarded moment - I imagine that someone's already tried that tactic against her already though).

[Anh_Minh]

It's not just that particular instance. It's just, as I said, it's starting to look like a trend. "Oh, a new threat. Guess it's going to kick Erza's ass so we know it's a big one."

[Darklord_bg]

But it keeps happening. There's always something that takes her out of the fight, so Natsu can be the hero.

That's shounen law for you. The main character is always the one who gets to fight the big bosses and the side characters fight the boss' underlings or get taken out in some way. Like it or not, that's the way it goes in all shounen series.

Besides, you are not being fair to Erza. She usually ends up doing the grunt work, taking on jobs that only she can do that take her out of commission. In the Phantom Arc she was the only one who could withstand that weapon blast, so she took it, she did not think of hogging glory and still she was able to stand up, defeat the strongest of the Element 4 and buy some time against the guild's leader until Makarov showed up.

So, while I'm fairly certain that Natsu will be the one to take on Luxus, Erza might still play a role later on.

[Xhokhusmak]

I know you guys aren't stupid...

Being "stronger" =/= winning the fight.


Besides, S-class seems to be just a rank. Should've been evident ever since the Phantom Arc. We need some bloody duels to measure each Fairy's actual skill. And somebody wants exactly that to happen. :P

Erza's strong, and has been caught by surprise before, and made an even more surprising escape (Shou & Ikaruga). This would be the very first time that she's been taken out completely. Then again who knows, maybe the girls will break out of their stone some point during the arc without help.

Whee~~

[Tempest35]

...:heh:
Y'know, I was gonna go on a rant about this...then I realized that this is exactly what's going through Levi's team member's minds right now (and probably half the FT Guild as well).

Bravo~

[TrueKnight]

I've read it again, and I found it odd that they introduced Jubia as an S-Class mage. She's like, pales in the comparison of Natzu, Gray, Elsa or Gazille...

Dunno about you guys, but here's hoping Luxus is one strong mofo. He had his own bodyguards who conquered an entire guild only with 4....

[technomo12]

well aslong as we get to see lots of action i happy with it hahaha

still the part with the had changing was hilarious

[Fenrir_valindri]

It really is rather unfair to claim Erza is weaker just because she got caught off guard. The one who turned her into stone was a member of her own guild, and thus someone she probably trusted.

The ability to turn someone into stone just by staring at them is absurdely powerful, I wouldn't doubt her ability to defeat anyone with that power; it just takes a single moment for you to screw up and look into her eyes, and then you lose.

As has been stated b4, Shounen law is about all that stops Erza from defeating a majority of the bad-guys we have seen so far.

She was kicking Gerald around, and in the end the injuries she gave him screwed him.

She took the shot from a giant magic cannon, defeated one of the strongest members of the Phantom Guild, and then finally held of the Phantom Guild Master while being several injured.

--

It really wouldn't suprise me too much at all if some of the ladies managed to get free, or broken free somehow.

Considering the entire guilds' "oh shit" reaction to Evergreen's mere appearance on stage... I don't think Erza would be one to trust her. :P

In Saint Seiya, such an enemy was defeated by the guy poking his own eyes blind. :D

Now though, it's 4 vs. the rest of the guild. I don't think any single person is going to take full credit for taking down any of the 4. I don't think they're stupid enough to charge the entire guild if they knew that they would be taken down so easily. Who knows, maybe they have far superior teamwork for their success. Not saying Natsu won't be dealing the finisher though!

[Tempest35]

Evergreen doesn't show up all that often at the guild anyway. And the 'oh shit' reaction came when she stoned Lucy in front of everyone, then revealed that she had stoned the rest of the girls.

Ezra comes in all the time because she loves to be around the other guild members. Lexus's lil bodyguard three just like being around him....:heh:

[Magin]

So, Luxus and his team are turning out to be real bastards...

unless something really moves me when we find out what changed Luxus, they all deserve a royal ass-kicking from Natsu very soon

Lol saint seiya, i remember that episode. Shiruu or however you say it in english or japanese. Ive only watched it in spanish.

Back on topic: I wont be surprised if the big 3 mages of luxus' group kicks the whole guilds ass except Lluvia, Natsu, Gray, iron dragonslayer (forgot his name at the moment), and the guild master.

[Magin]

Somehow, that seems pretty reasonable to me

after all, it's fulfilling the All Out Rumble Between Powerhouses Rule

[Majek]

Lluvia is out of the picture.

And if it's unfair to claim that Erza is weaker it's unfair to claim she can't kick everyone's ass.

[Fenrir_valindri]

None of us here think that Erza would single-handedly own Luxus and his group, but we are just pointing out Luxus' hypocricy of having a fight to determine who the strongest is without having one (possibly 2) of the strongest members of Fairy Tail in the fight.

Not to mention that we don't even know of some of the other strong members, like Mistgun, are even present.

I don't really think he's doing the fight for himself. His one and only target is probably just his gramps, and to take over the guild.

And as he mentioned in the past many, many chapters ago, his method of running a guild would be removing all of the weaker members. So his plan is more of taking down his gramps first, while his survival battle can be pulled off at the same time to screen out the weaker members.

As far as taking out the girls first, it's prolly either he hates girls and/or he just really needed hostages to force this entire gig into motion. :P He probably also did this to purposely draw the missing two out.

Anyways, the bottomline is, he's not trying to measure his OWN power. He just wants to take the guild and to kick (or er.. kill -_-) all the weaker members. Although he'd be more than willing to face anybody that comes for him.

He can careless about the others, as he thinks only his gramps is enough to stand again him, and the other fights are pure decoration. And if you cannot avoid being turned into stone, you are weak enough to be thrown away.
Villains don't care about details.

Very true...and this is often their undoing - their arrogance. I've seen many a villain screw up brilliant plans by underestimating their opponent. The most common example is leaving someone for dead only to find out later than he/she is still alive to stab them in the back at the most crucial moment.

Seriously, most villains suffer from chronic stupidity syndrome.

[Majek]

Fun chapter. Can't make much from just the pictures though, waiting fro a trans.

[Von Himmel]

I still don't understand Luxus' rules. . . 0.o; Was it really that simple ? 0.o;

I mean, will Luxus actually going to fight all Fairy tail's member, or would he make all the fairy tail's member fight with each other (with the exception of his bodyguards of course. Maybe they're like a boss or something in RPG).

[Nightengale]

New chapter shows Luxus's rule is not that simple.

Now it's entered straight into Onimusha/DMC-ish stage-clearing hack-and-slash.

[Tempest35]

...well....o.o....that just threw everything for a loop....:heh:

[Darklord_bg]

Heh, what an interesting chapter...

So, is Natsu a statue or is he over 80? Starting to accept bets right away...:)

I'll say he is above 80. He's probably a dragon in human form.

[jzmagic]

Heh, what an interesting chapter...

I don't get how he can be a statue, so I'll go with over 80. Although somethings still fishy.

[Darklord_bg]

I don't get how he can be a statue, so I'll go with over 80. Although somethings still fishy.

Maybe the spell checks for statues by measuring a person's mental activity. In Natsu's case, it could be similar to that of a statue i.e. no activity at all :heh:.

Wouldn't that be hilarious?

LOL, I wouldn't put that past Luxus actually haha.

[Bonta Kun]

ok was not expecting that to happen, now this raises soo many more questions about Natsu. Hope to god we get some answers soon enough.

could be some ancient old power sealed away inside Natsu that affects him from getting past the barrier(I hope this isn't the case, had enough of anicent old power hax being sealed away story>__<)

I somewhat see why Happy is called Happy, he's like fazed at first then gets past it extremely quickly lol. He is rather postive about almost everything:heh:

[Boduar]

My guess is hes offspring of Ig(something) and some woman and hes been searching for his dragon father/mentor for a very long time apparently.

P.S. Does lost the will to fight translate to dead or are they just unconscious.

Edit: is the dragon hes searching for Igneel ... been so long.

[Magin]

Well, he does call Igneel his father (yes, that's the one he's been searching for)... perhaps it's more literal of him calling Igneel father than we thought

[Darklord_bg]

Well, he does call Igneel his father (yes, that's the one he's been searching for)... perhaps it's more literal of him calling Igneel father than we thought

I'm starting to think more and more that this is the case. Remember when Erza was captured, he was in lizard form for some time (technically it wasn't him, but from the others' reaction they know he has this ability). Maybe the lizard is actually a little dragon and it is his true form and the human form is just the disguise. 80 might be a pretty old age for a human, but in dragon years he is perhaps just a kid.

It certainly got a lot more interesting. Just imagine, a dragon as a main character - that would be so kick-ass.

[Magin]

... he was in a lizard form? Somehow, I don't remember that

And I'm going with the over 80 option. Remember, natsu's age was never given out on his profile card

I suspect we're going to have the following, and in order: Fairy Tail battle, Luxus's past (which will be included in the battle arc), and then some arc to reveal natsu's past, quite possibly involving this Wendy character

Yeah, in chapter 23.

http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/23/03/

It wasn't actually him, but the others thought it was him at first, so he must have transformed into a lizard before...

[Magin]

Ah, that bit... but I thought it was some sort of transformation magic that someone else applied, and it was just due to where he was and that attitude that they thought it was him

[evil|plushie]

wasn't that cause one member of fairy tail transformed him into a lizard?

[Fenrir_valindri]

A rather interesting chapter, things are getting pretty intense.

The whole thing with Natsu is confusing, but the possibility of him being a Dragon is interesting.

I also like how Master Makarov points out Erza as first on his list of able to possibly beat Luxus. :heh:

[Darklord_bg]

Wel...here's the data that we have:

http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/23/14/

Macau's son brought a lizard to the guild, saying "My dad captured Natsu". The others believe that this is Natsu, at least at first. There are 2 possible explanations for this.

1) Natsu can usually transform into a lizard.

2) Macau can transform other people.

We know Macau can transform himself, but I don't remember him transforming others, so I don't know about option 2. The other thing that makes me lean to option 1) is that a lizard can be viewed as a tiny dragon. So, if Macau could transform Natsu, why did he transform him into a lizard of all things?

Perhaps it's just coincidence, perhaps it's meant to throw us off, I don't know. However, we know almost nothing about Natsu's past, despite him being raised by a dragon, so coupled with today's revelation that he might be over 80 years old, I think the possibility that he might be a dragon is starting to shape up.


I also like how Master Makarov points out Erza as first on his list of able to possibly beat Luxus. :heh:

Don't jump the gun :).

Makarov simply thought that Erza is the only one from the current guild members that stands a chance to defeat Luxus. He also thought that it Natsu got fired up, he could pull it off. It doesn't necessarily mean Erza is the best possible choice to defeat Luxus. I still think Mist Gun or Gildartz can make an appearance. Although, I'm pretty sure Natsu will be the one to defeat him in the end.

[Clarste]

Considering how surprised they are that he might be over 80 years old, I don't think they know he's a dragon or anything like that. I think it's much more plausible that Macau's got transformation magic.

[Waven]

I say it'll end in a draw with Luxus finally being resocialized (or giving up leaving the guild on his own without resistance) in the end hence the flashback we saw and given the fact that even Gerard turnt 'good' at the end of Tower arc although due to 'forced exorcism'. That's just speculation of course and most of you will be glad to know that i'm usually pretty off ;)

[evil|plushie]

It seems more logical to assume the person who has transformation magic transformed Natsu instead of Natsu suddenly being able to transform -_-

[REEPER]

Perhaps Natsu has been around for 80 years or more but hasn't actually lived that long. I can't really remember but I don't think the circumstances of Igneel's disappearance have been explained yet.
Perhaps Natsu was in some sort of "stasis" during a lengthly period of time and awoke to a world where Igneel was gone, perhaps Igneel kept him in such a stasis for reasons not yet known until he was finally allowed to awake. Gizelle isn't around at the moment, perhaps he suffered similar circumstances. Major speculation, I know, but I find it difficult to believe he's a dragon just yet.

[cloak_and_dagger]

Umm btw once we are in chap 23 mode (:D) can someone clear this up?
http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/23/08/

Erza didnt know Sieglin was Gerard until Gerard showed her, so whats "that" that Sieglin was talking about?

probably when Erza first saw Sieg and thought it was Gerard, she attacked him from what I recall.

but if there is something else behind it then its been left unanswered for too long

He was talking about the Tower situation. Remember when Jeral told Ezra that if she talked about the Tower, that Jeral will kill everyone who remained there (all of Ezra's old friends). If Ezra had spoken up about it to the Council, Jeral would have killed everyone back at the Tower and she didn't want that.

[cloak_and_dagger]

Oh yaaa, thanks for clearing that up.

Since ther's nothing left to discuss, some entertainment :D

[Bonta Kun]

ahhh see that didn't really compute with my rather slow mind:p

see, now I think is how the hell you could think he was a twin brother, surely he would have been mentioned before and the fact he would have known something like the secret between Erza and Gerard.

I may have forgetton some aparts that would fill all this in for me, but I really can't be arsed going over the series again just yet:D

[Genius-kun]

Apparently this is a genuinly good manga. My friends tell me its good, so im deciding to read it

[Tempest35]

It is. :D Have fun and laugh - best way to approach it.

[tehjoker]

Man, i really wanna see Mistgun in action.

[Riker]

So the battle begins. This chapter showed briefly the skirmishes between the guild members.

Gray vs Bixlow and Elfman vs Evergreen as well as the other minor characters.

Elfman fought with a full body transformation while blindfolded to avoid her eyes and relied on his primal instincts. He kinda reminded me of Illidan from Warcraft 3.

[Cinocard]

Except that Illidan is near invincible, when Elfman not :D

After this chap, the question is just when will Natsu fight luxus and change his mind....

[Darklord_bg]

So, Elfman is out of the picture already?

It's such a shame, seeing as his desire to protect his sister was so touching, while his beast form was so badass. It was also funny how he said to Evergreen "If you are a man, fight like a man - don't take hostages". :)

I hope Gray has more luck with Bixlow...

Also, Natsu's naivete can be both funny and touching - he thinks this is all a game and Luxus is his comrade...which makes me want to see his reaction when he realizes this is not the case. I'm pretty sure his anger will have no limits.


About the comparison with Illidan...yeah, I thought about it as well, though Illidan has badass demon wings and twin blades to boot. Elfman would probably look much better with wings as well, no?

[Freeter]

I wonder if Mashima will be gutsy enough to have Luxus off one of the petrified characters for Natsu to realize he means business. It'll likely be a minor character, but the sight would still be just as devastating.

I wish I could sign up for that postcard contest and win an Erza drawing :p

Nah...I doubt it.

They are all pretty important to be offed so easily - either main characters (Erza, Mira, Jubia, Lucy), or characters who haven't been developed yet (Levi, Visca, Kana). Did I forget someone?

Besides, I've never seen a cute girl be killed off in a shounen manga so far, except in flashback.

[Anh_Minh]

They could shatter Jubia and have her reform herself, though.

[Von Himmel]

If her power can be activated while she is petrified. . Seriously though, I kinda understand about Natsu's way of thinking right now. In fact, I still don't think Luxus did anything bad at all and I believe that he's doing this only for fun 0.o;

Eventhough I understand that it's not. .But still. . ^^;

Anyway, which girl will you choose ? :D

Oh, this is a pretty dumb theory but. . . What do you think will happen if Natsu actually still have a bit of Aetherion power in himself ?

[Xhokhusmak]

I already sent my vote in :) Go Evergreen!

[Proto]

@Darklord_bg: You should give a look at Black God. Though its more Seinen than Shounen, it can pass off as Shounen at times :p

[tehjoker]

I have a theory about Natsu's age.
Natsu might have been is suspended animation when Igneel taught him the Dragon Slayer.
Or he was in a place where time is stopped.

[Waven]

... i hope Erza likes (much) older men :heh:

[Tempest35]

I vote for Ezra! :D

[NoLongerSane]

I have a theory about Natsu's age.
Natsu might have been is suspended animation when Igneel taught him the Dragon Slayer.
Or he was in a place where time is stopped.

That is a good probability. I was guessing that the reason that Natsu can not pass the barrier was because of the scarf he is wearing. Since the scarf is probably made from the scales of Igneel, and that Igneel is still alive, the barrier will not allow Natsu to pass because of it. That is my guess.

Also, I vote Jubia. She won me over in the past arc.

[Von Himmel]

I hope it'll be Erza :D
Two candidates that have higher probability to win will probably be either Erza or Jubia. .^^;

;D wouldn't that be called inanimate rather than dead?

Hoping for some Gray kicking ass :'D

[Von Himmel]

English is not my first language.

Engrish is :D

[Majek]

So has Luxus told why Natsu can't compete? And wow Gray won :O

edit: LOL so even he doesn't know xDDD

[Von Himmel]

Yeah, what's up with Natsu cannot get out of the barrier ?

It's just like I expected. .Mashima might've trying to balance the character in Fairy Tail's guild so that all the members are all the protagonist, not the one who usually steal the show (Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Gray, etc.).

Now that almost all of the 'main character' have been 'defeated', the minor members might take charge of being the hero in this arc. . Or maybe the S-RANK member will take charge instead ? :s
So, who won the votes ? :D

[ellifeedn]

So has Luxus told why Natsu can't compete? And wow Gray won :O

Sorry to say this, but Gray lost.

[tehjoker]

^ Sarcasm?

[Majek]

Stupid Erza. Punching for no reason. :/

and guess Gazille is a stone statue too.


and wow. HE looks ugly. And let me guess, even he won't stand a chance against bad boys.

[Xhokhusmak]

I don't know why Majek is posting fake spoilers... lol

[Pilly]

I don't get it

[Majek]

What fake spoilers? The 111chapter raw has been out for a day.

Erza turned back to flesh and punched Natsu and Gazille.

That about G is because of the barrier. Natsu's old and Gazzille is a stone statue. A pun. <_<

And HE is Mistgun.He appears on the last page.

[Miles Teg]

If people still thinks its false spoilers :

[Waven]

<3

Someone introduced (well reintroduced but that was very briefly) like that must be having a whacky character i'm almost sure about it :D

[Slayerx]

The spoilers you guys posted were worded VERY oddly... they barely made sense and made it sound like Gazzille was turned to stone; hence the claims to the spoilers being fake


As it turns out that gazzille for some reason can't leave the barrier

Gazzille and Natsu are both use dragon slayer magic and as such have some kind of connection to their respective dragons... My guess is that the barrier's detection is getting thrown off by the nature of their magic; for some reason the barrier does not consider them by their normal ages but by the age of the dragons... So really the barrier thinks that both Gazzielle and Natsu are thousands of years old (or however old the dragons are)

And y'know, i thought that last page with mistgun was so badass for some reason. it also looks like his design has changed somewhat this chapter and he seems to carrying a lot of staffs for some reason...

i kind of expect someone to beat up fried so that both natsu and gazzille will be able to take part in the battle... greant it, they all got to make sure they move at a wide distance apart from eachother so none of them wind up being forced to fight one another... which may just happen, if the barrier falls since it would make it 5 against 3 for the final battle, and the bad guys got to get some kind of advantage to keep them looking badass (the advantage being 2 or more of the reamining 5 having to beat other up before moving on)

[cloak_and_dagger]

wth mistgun looks so gar!!!

[Bonta Kun]

ok now I always thought FT was bi-monhtly but its weekly right?

did it change or was it always weekly?!

well guess either way doesn't matter:p

[Pilly]

OMG Erza looks so freaken HOT there, and MistGun looks crazy powerful. I hope he does some owning and not get owned instead

[Darklord_bg]

Great chapter...
Finally we get to see Mist Gun in action, he looks positively badass in that last frame.

I didn't understand the deal with Erza's eye very well. Did it make the enchantment temporary? Did Natsu do something? Erza said she felt hot when she woke up. I hope they explain that better, I hate it when they bring back characters at key moments without a good explanation (even if it is Erza :)

So, bets on Gazille now - is he a stone/iron statue or is there really some deal with being Dragonslayer, which makes you seem older than you are.

Erza's right eye is magically made and I assume that one has to look with natural eyes to get the full effect. So what she had was like looking with one eye open. Maybe she can use this to her advantage over the stone girl (forgot name).

How do you know it's Mist Gun at the end?

because we seen him before

[Fenrir_valindri]

Ok I have to say it:

Natsu made Erza hot :heh:

Glad Erza is back in the fight, the artifical eye is something I completely missed, looks like Erza will be getting some payback.

I think the reason Erza punched them can be reasoned by looking a few panels back, I think Gazelle was saying something about Natsu being kind of perveted, maybe he was going for Erza's rack with those flaming hands of his? :heh:

I can't wait to see Mistgun in action.

and Gazelle and Natsu being stuck in there with the Master is certainly interesting.

But yeah, Erza is really hot in that outfit. (Or in any)

I see...so with only one eye, she only got half the effect of Evergreen's spell...which makes me even more sure that Erza will take on Evergreen in the upcoming fight.

Concerning Mist Gun...I read the translation already and it says clearly that it's him.

Besides, even though his design seemed a little off this time, we've seen him before

[Bonta Kun]

I'm guessing the reason both the slayers can't get out is cause of their magic, it is considered ancient.
Cause of their magic and the way their bodies consitution is changed to that of a dragon, they are seen as being ancient, therefore not able to get out.

I really want to know why they can't get out hope we get our answer soon!

[seiji_kun]

Sorry to say this, but Gray lost.

I don't expect Gray to be defenitely out for the count, he'll get back up. Especially cause he only got taken out bye cheating.


I really want to know why they can't get out hope we get our answer soon!

Imagine them to be stuck in it for the whole arc, that would be so anticlimatic that I would lmao. Can't wait to see Gazille fight, Him joining Fairy Tail was one of the best things ever. Kind of hope he'll become one of Natsu's frequent partners.

[Cinocard]

Cheating or not, he's out cold. But looking at how things pair up, there's a good chance he will wake up, unless Mistgun takes on 2 or 3 at once.

[seiji_kun]

Kind of dissapointed Mistgun showed up, I did expect it but I was kind of hoping he wouldn't. And Erza got depetrified, guess Erza vs Evergreen in the make. I think we got the 5 fighters for Fairy Tail now, Erza, Mistgun, Gray, Gazille, Natsu. Quite the line up.

[Darklord_bg]

Cheating or not, he's out cold. But looking at how things pair up, there's a good chance he will wake up, unless Mistgun takes on 2 or 3 at once.

The way I see it it's Erza vs. Evergreen, Mist Gun vs. Fried, Gazille vs. Bixlow and Natsu vs. Luxus. Of course, all sorts of mix-ups are possible, like Gazille or Mist Gun fighting Luxus first and losing, but I'm almost certain that Natsu will be the one to defeat him in the end. I do hope we see Gray again.

[Xacual]

I kind of want the Master to beat up his grandson Luxus...

I really hope MistGun doesn't run into Luxus right away and get beaten or something.

[seiji_kun]

I doubt he'll let Mistgun lose, he hyped him up so if he loses in his first fight I would be shocked as hell. I'll probably have a face that compares to this (http://img60.onemanga.com/mangas/00000002/00000279/16.jpg). So I don't think theire will be a Lexus Mistgun.

I do hope that it won't be 5-0 for Natsu's team and half of them collapsing after the fight. That would be to standard to my liking, not that I would hate it. All he has to do to please me is have Natsu fight beyond a lvl that he fougth vs Gerald. That eating lightning that Happy mentioned seemed like some foreshadowing anyway so I got my hopes up.

[Majek]

I don't expect Gray to be defenitely out for the count, he'll get back up. Especially cause he only got taken out bye cheating.

They were all taken out by cheating. So that doesn't mean a thing.

[Darklord_bg]

They were all taken out by cheating. So that doesn't mean a thing.

Exactly! What does cheating mean anyway? They were taken out by their opponents' magic.

On the other hand, Fried definitely has a pretty hax ability. I hope he has some other magic besides this magical seal, which supposedly takes a long time to place.

[Von Himmel]

It's still 2 vs 4 if Natsu and Gazille can't get out of the 'prison'. Maybe if Mistgun or Erza beat that hax guy with enchantment ability, the power will go off. . . But if that's so, I wonder what would happen to the guild master.

Btw, is it safe to call that Erza's the one who won the vote ? :(

Man are you guys even serious, even Natsu said he wouldn't win over Gray without cheating. If you don't find robbing him of his magic cheating and sealing him in a seperate place of his opponent then what could qualify under cheating?

And no Elfman didn't got beaten bye cheating, he lost fair and square vs Evergreen. Just like those idiots fighting each other, they don't get robbed of their magic either. They all fight fair and square.

Why do you find robbing Gray of his magic cheating, while robbing Elfman of his sight not cheating??? It's the same thing - both give a character a serious handicap. I don't think either case is cheating, simply because this is Fried using his special ability. It's like saying that every time Natsu uses his Dragon Slayer, he's cheating. We can argue that Fried's ability is too powerful - which is an entirely different subject altogether.

Don't get me wrong here -- I'm also pretty mad that Gray got taken out in such a cheap way. I believe that Natsu and Gray are equal in power and skill, but since Natsu is the main character, he gets all the glory all the time. I do hope that Gray returns to deliver some major ass-kicking.

Evergreen robs Elfman of his sight bye her own abilities, she didn't need Frieds help with his spells to win, so she won fair and square.

Gray got taken out bye Bixlow bye abusing Frieds spells thus cheating. If you find it fair that's your opinion, I find it dirty and cheating. Imo it's like they are doing a 100m sprint and Frieds lift Grays left leg thus dropping him while Bixlow makes it to the finish. Just my opinion...

I don't even want to start about Natsu vs Gray.

[Slayerx]

as for the current match ups... as it stands, we are gonna have 2 vs 4; Mistgun and Ezra vs Luxus, Fried, evergreen, and Bixlow... given the 2 vs 4, we can expect that they would get two wins each. However, when Fried is beaten, the magic of his barriers will supposedly drop; thus allowing Natsu, Gazille and Master back into the game

if i had to guess on match ups... at this point i would think:
Mistgun vs fried
Ezra vs Evergreen
Gazille vs Bixlow
Natsu vs Luxus

Given Mistgun's personality, i think he will take out fried and the barriers and then sit back and let the rest take care of things and only jump in if necessary... perhaps afterword he'll do something supportive; like somehow keep the stone girls from turning to dust or something to buy time; if not know of a way to free them (who knows, maybe he took a quick stop to the healer outside of town before showing up)

Grant it, i can't help but feel a wee bit disappointed with this... Mistgun seems so bad ass in the last page i really want to see him beat up atleast two people... but i don't think that would work out unless gazille looses his match and Mistgun needs to step in to finish the job

Master, despite how serious the situation is, will end up sitting out as well for the time being allowing his charges to fight; Natsu for one will be insistent on fighting Luxus alone

frankly, i'm actually thinking that Natsu is gonna end up loosing his fight with Luxus... but after their fight Ezra will step up to take on Luxus and beat him. Despite Natsu being the main character, it would be good for him to loose once in a while, and i think Ezra vs Luxus is something needs to happen. The master wants to retire, but as it stands he has no one he feels he could entrust the guild to... Ezra beating Luxus will end up being the proof he needs that even though he thought Ezra was too young, she is the one best suited to take over the guild (mistgun has personality issues, and Gildarz has some unknown issue)

[Magin]

Yes, but keep this in mind: how would Erza be guildmaster when she's chasing after natsu and Gray (and usually Lucy as well) most of the time? After all, she appears to be the only member who's both able to and willing to handle that group.

and being away from the guild doesn't make for a good guildmaster. Although i suppose Luxus woiuld also be away or something

[Slayerx]

The question then becomes "who else is there"... Luxus is no good, he will need one hell of a 180 before he can be left in charge... Mistgun is a complete recluse, and that's somethign that would need to change but does not look like it will. The only one left is Gildarz, which has some unknown issue (too old maybe? he is refered to as a geezer); he'd also need to change... and with the things have been working out, it seems like the story wants Master to pick an heir relatively soon

And while it would mean seeing less of Ezra in action, her being with gray and Natsu seems like something that could be sacrificed; not to mention that Natsu and Gray do not fight as often as they used to... i mean, for one thing their little group is getting a bit big with Lluvia wanting to go wherever Gray goes... plus getting Ezra out of the group would give opportunity for another member to jump in on their missions once in a while; there's Gazille who is bound to get involved every once in a while espeically when the issues with the dragons finally gets rolling and that card girl Kana always gave off the feeling that she was supposed to be a relatively prominent member (along with Elfman and Mira, she seems to stand out a lot amongst members)

[Darklord_bg]

I don't even want to start about Natsu vs Gray.

Well, we can argue that Evergreen took Elfman's sister hostage and made him act irrational because of that, thus giving her an unfair advantage. She is not someone who I would classify as fighting fair. Besides, all participants are affected by Fried's spells in one way or another. Gray just happened to be unlucky to fall into one of the stronger ones - which also makes me angry, since I like Gray a lot.

I agree on those match-ups as well, though I don't think Erza will be the one to defeat Luxus. She's pretty strong, but the way Luxus has been portrayed so far, he's pretty much a monster. I think what might happen is Master fighting against Luxus first and losing and Natsu going totally insane against Luxus and defeating him in the end. I also think Mist gun will take out Fried and help with the undoing of the stone curse - it seems to be his style to not stay in the spotlight, but give invaluable support to the guild (like he did against Phantom).

Concerning the position of the next guild master, I don't think Erza will be very appropriate, given her inexperience and her sometimes violent personality. I think she's better off going on missions with Natsu and Gray and Lucy that trying to deal with a whole guild of miscreants. We don't know almost anything about Gildartz, but from what we know so far, he's the next in power after the master. He's also referred to as "geezer" which means he has a lot of experience, so my bet would be on him taking over the guild.

Well yes, Luxus is a monster, but Master also does believe that Ezra has what it takes to beat him and Natsu has some possibility if he gets real pumped up... as such Ezra alone might be enough to beat him and he will espeically be beatable if Natsu gets at him first reducing his strength somewhat before Ezra steps in... quite frankly, i don't think Luxus would be able to beat Master; hell he didn't even want to fight him, hence the barrier

When it comes to Ezra, you need to think of her as she is now... just like in the beginning of the manga Ezra has the ability to keep everyone else in line; and that will include Luxus if she beats him... but in more recent chapters it's shown that Ezra has lightened up when it comes to dealing with the guild (just don't mess with her cake)... as for experience, experience is only proof that you are capable so it's really just a question of "is she capable of handling the job?" She's got a lot of leadership skill and beating Luxus might be all the proof the Master needs to erase any doubt of wheather or not she can handle the job

thing is, it seems like the story wants master to choose an heir SOON... and the problem with Gildartz is that he hasn't even been introduced; so any problem he has isn't gonna go away in time to become the new guild leader (hell the problem could even be that he is TOO old)

[Magin]

Well, the Master as he is is quite old... is Gildartz even older?

[seiji_kun]

She is not someone who I would classify as fighting fair. Besides, all participants are affected by Fried's spells in one way or another. Gray just happened to be unlucky to fall into one of the stronger ones - which also makes me angry, since I like Gray a lot.

Well we can argue about mental conditioning playing a part in battle but that's nitpicking. The best example is Musashi vs Kojiro, how many people don't think Musashi cheated his way to victory bye fucking with Kojiro's mind bye comming a few hours later. But there is a big difference in direct actions influencing a battle and a little mindplay. In Gray's case Bizlow abused Fried's spells to his upmost advantage thus cheapen his way to an easy victory. I guess for people who believe that he was just maximizing the use of his surroundings it wasn't cheating but for me who believes fair 1v1 are brawls without any interference bye third parties it was cheating his way to victory. Lets not even start how Bizlow had probably prior knowledge of the surroundings.






@ next guildmaster. I always expected Natsu to be the next guildmaster, like Luffy becomming pirate king and like Naruto becomming next hokage. It's something I always thougth as inevitable. So I didn't expect there to be someone who takes over the torch till Natsu could take over. I didn't expect Makorov to take that stand either, would he give the guild to the last man standing?

Given Mistgun's personality, i think he will take out fried and the barriers and then sit back and let the rest take care of things and only jump in if necessary... perhaps afterword he'll do something supportive; like somehow keep the stone girls from turning to dust or something to buy time; if not know of a way to free them (who knows, maybe he took a quick stop to the healer outside of town before showing up)

Nice prediction, defenitely something that I could see happen. But it would mean Makorov would be free to and could take part, I hope he'll sit out and put his fate then in Erza & Natsu & Gazille and Gray who I hope will wake up bye then and get mocked bye Natsu for been taken out once. (wishfull thinking ftw) Then I hope he'll give it to the last man standing.

If so I'm so hard hoping Natsu smacks Lexus his ass and says to Makorov, keep that title till one day I truly disurve it cause this guild wouldn't be the same without master as master. Else my dreamscenario gets nuked. Well Erza is the perfect candidate though I don't want to take her away from to Natsu. I love how it feels that there is a little love triangle going on. Erza - Natsu - Lucy, both gals had some nice scenes with Natsu.

[Darklord_bg]

Well yes, Luxus is a monster, but Master also does believe that Ezra has what it takes to beat him and Natsu has some possibility if he gets real pumped up... as such Ezra alone might be enough to beat him and he will espeically be beatable if Natsu gets at him first reducing his strength somewhat before Ezra steps in... quite frankly, i don't think Luxus would be able to beat Master; hell he didn't even want to fight him, hence the barrier

It's just that if Luxus loses to Erza, I'll totally lose all respect for his character. Erza is strong, but she also has a cool personality and gets along with people quite well. Luxus has been a big a$$hole so far and the only thing that will redeem his character in my eyes is if he's ridiculously strong. His whole character is based on strength, he is obsessed with strength, so without strength his character is just a big jerk. Usually in shounen manga the stronger characters have big personality issues or temperamental quirks in order to balance them out and seem more human. Of course, there are those characters who have no merits what-so-ever and just suck, but I do not think this is the case with Makarov's grandson.

Furthermore, I do not think that Erza is the right person to defeat Luxus from a storyline perspective. Makarov could defeat him in order to teach him a lesson and discipline his grandson. Natsu could defeat him, since he is the main character and it will be a necessary step in his development. Gazille could defeat him since he has a personal grudge against him. The only incentive Erza has to fight him is to save the other Fairy Tail members - which they all share. I'm not discounting the possibility, I just think prom a story perspective, she is not the best match-up against Luxus.


When it comes to Ezra, you need to think of her as she is now... just like in the beginning of the manga Ezra has the ability to keep everyone else in line; and that will include Luxus if she beats him... but in more recent chapters it's shown that Ezra has lightened up when it comes to dealing with the guild (just don't mess with her cake)... as for experience, experience is only proof that you are capable so it's really just a question of "is she capable of handling the job?" She's got a lot of leadership skill and beating Luxus might be all the proof the Master needs to erase any doubt of wheather or not she can handle the job

thing is, it seems like the story wants master to choose an heir SOON... and the problem with Gildartz is that he hasn't even been introduced; so any problem he has isn't gonna go away in time to become the new guild leader (hell the problem could even be that he is TOO old)

It's true that she's livened up a little, but I still think she doesn't have enough experience to lead a whole guild and I still think she'll be more useful in missions - and also more fun. I don't think she's suited for all the administrative stuff.


@ next guildmaster. I always expected Natsu to be the next guildmaster, like Luffy becomming pirate king and like Naruto becomming next hokage. It's something I always thougth as inevitable. So I didn't expect there to be someone who takes over the torch till Natsu could take over. I didn't expect Makorov to take that stand either, would he give the guild to the last man standing?


The difference is that Luffy's goal is to become the Pirate King and Naruto's goal is to become Hokage (though I think he'll be terribly suited for the job until he develops a lot). Natsu hasn't shown any interest in becoming guild master. His ambition is to find his foster father Igneel, like Gon from HxH wants to find his father. Besides, he'd make a terrible guild master. Someone like Gray will be much better, if he gets stronger and if he learns to wear clothes :).

[Slayerx]

Well, the Master as he is is quite old... is Gildartz even older?
no clue, but it could be...
point is, there is "something" about Gildartz that makes him impossible, as master sees it, to be the master of the guild
It's just that if Luxus loses to Erza, I'll totally lose all respect for his character. Erza is strong, but she also has a cool personality and gets along with people quite well. Luxus has been a big a$$hole so far and the only thing that will redeem his character in my eyes is if he's ridiculously strong.

Of course, there are those characters who have no merits what-so-ever and just suck, but I do not think this is the case with Makarov's grandson.

The thing is though, Luxus isn't just a powerful jerk, he's a powerful jerk antagonist... And when it comes down to it, no matter how powerful an antagonist is they are destined to be defeated.

Luxus is a powerful jerk, but he needs to grow in someway... like you said if he didn't have his power he would just be a jerk; well him growing up from a jerk would fix that... as i'll explain below, his character would get a lot more by beng beaten by a peer like Ezra

Furthermore, I do not think that Erza is the right person to defeat Luxus from a storyline perspective. Makarov could defeat him in order to teach him a lesson and discipline his grandson. Natsu could defeat him, since he is the main character and it will be a necessary step in his development. Gazille could defeat him since he has a personal grudge against him. The only incentive Erza has to fight him is to save the other Fairy Tail members - which they all share. I'm not discounting the possibility, I just think prom a story perspective, she is not the best match-up against Luxus.


But there IS a story reason for Ezra... she may not have a personal reason for beating him, but as i said, beating Luxus could be the thing that Master needs to see that convinces him that Ezra is capable enough to be the next guild leader.

Frankly, i think Natsu has been growing too much in strength... i mean, it's gotten to the point where we expect him to loose. Sure he lost agaisnt the owl guy, but considering how weak that guy is it's seen less like Natsu wasn't strong enough and more like the owl won because of a fluke... I think natsu could use a nice hard loss to remind him where he stands; a loss where it is clear that he was overpowered outright. i think natsu gets more out of being reminded that he isn't the strongest around... one thing that bugged me a bit about fairytail was how Natsu, gray and their like started out as some of the strongest characters and that doesn't give them too far to grow; unlike naruto and one piece where the characters start off weak and must work their way up the ladder which is a very far climb... we need that reminder that natsu does still have space to grow and isn't already the toughest guy around

And Luxus, i think he would not gain much in character from fighting the master... by the fact that he imprisioned the master it just tells us that he is not confident that he could win such a fight... loosing when he expects loosing is possible would not allow him to grow... the best way for him to grow is by getting beaten by a peer as they are someone that Luxus is confident that he can beat. Loosing in that case would send off the message that he ISN'T the strongest and thus has no reason to be a jerk about it

[Xhokhusmak]

guys guys, how about some plot twists instead of everybody having the same prediction?

How about if the 3 Raijins win their respective battles, they might... two of them seem way more than qualified to be S rank mages O_o. But in the end, Luxus loses (to Natsu, Erza, or whatever). Problem solved, no? Who knows, maybe if that happened, the Raijins would probably leave Luxus' side and the dispute will be over!

Fresh ideas, people! :P

Or something different might happen. Elfman pulled off a full transformation out of nowhere, where he previously had a whole chapter of trouble doing before. Lets see Mirajane break out of stone and return to her "Demon" past. :D

That would suck even more. It all depends on the match-ups, but let's say that Mist Gun, Erza and Gazille get defeated and then Natsu goes all berserk and defeats Luxus - well, it will make Luxus seem even weaker.

You know what would really be unconventional - if Luxus actually manages to pull it off and overpowers everyone in Fairy Tail completely and takes over the guild. Then we would have a long-lasting major villain and Natsu, Gray, Erza and the others would leave the guild and start getting involved in some other adventures like exploring Natsu's past, for instance. It would be cool to establish Luxus as a third party in the battle between Natsu and his buddies and Zeref and his minions. I really doubt it would happen but one can hope :)

People have been waiting for that to happen for a while, but I don't think it's the right moment. It will happen eventually...otherwise Mashima wouldn't have brought it up :)

Hehe this is the most interesting thing I've heard, great idea! Seriously it actually sounds very liable and a meaningful change in the storyline of Fairy Tail.

Question is... if Luxus actually took over, how many members would there be left in the guild? lol

[Cinocard]

When everyone debates on who will be the next guild master, i think it has little meaning. The Fairy Tail will be destroyed soon. The whole world will be thrown into chaos.

The big background of the story isn't about Fairy Tail, but about the Six Dragon and the Dark Mage Zeref. Fairy Tail will be gone, our heroes will set sail to revenge and rebuild Fairy Tail, and discover its connection with Zeref and six Dragon. Mashima sensei style is, after all, adventure. Fairy Tail existence just hinders his speciality.

That said, there's a big chance Luxus will be defeated here, still ignorance with his defeat at first, run away, then long after this come back and help Natsu party in the most crucial moment. And the cliche saying is: "I only save you because the one to kill you is me" So it should be Natsu or Mistgun defeating Luxus now.

[Xellos-_^]

well he needs to introduce the other 4 dragons.

I don't see Fairy Tail being destroyed then a storyline process of it be rebuilt when the series is called Fairy Tail.

Fair enough its gonna see some real tough times but it will prevail and become much stronger cause of that.

altho debating about a new guildleader is good in all, I just don't see a new one just yet, I think Makarov will still be there for some time.
he's still yet to be smashed to smitherens by Lucy's...ahem "charms":heh:

but hey never know, this arc could throw a real curve ball at us and really surprise us with something crazy

heres to waiting and seeing!

<---still waiting on my Mira-chwan comeback!:D

[seiji_kun]

The difference is that Luffy's goal is to become the Pirate King and Naruto's goal is to become Hokage (though I think he'll be terribly suited for the job until he develops a lot).

Someone like Gray will be much better, if he gets stronger and if he learns to wear clothes :).

Well his goal is indeed finding Igneel but I just thougth it was obvious that Natsu would one day be the guildmaster and that he does want that position or maybe it's only the position of beeing the strongest (subconciously corrupted bye OP & Naruto ftw). An other reason why he could say to master to stay guildmaster, cause his priorities lie elsewhere atm.
And terrible, though he'll do a bad job at the paperwork I do think he's the best suitable when it comes down for caring for his guild and believing in his nakamas. His heart is as big as Erza if not even a bit bigger, like how he didn't even had a second thougth that Luxus was playing till Luxus himself told him flat out that he wasn't playing.

Lol, somehow I got the feeling that she can be the next guildmaster. :)

Yeah, he's bigger. Or perhaps he's just a fool :(
But he needs more development of his personality for him to became a guildmaster, since an idiotic leader is a no-no to Fairy Tail (Troubles everywhere and everytime -.-). Perhaps after his arc, or maybe while he's trying to save/defeat Igneel at the future arc, he can develop better and might suitable to become the guild leader.

[Majek]

Leading a guild is just trouble. I doubt either Erza or Natsu or gray or lucy would ever want to be it. Natsu just wants to be the strongest and he can be that without being burdened by guild master duties and responsibilities.

[Tempest35]

Well, aside from Lexus making such a big fuss over it, I doubt if both MistGun and Gildartz will object to Ezra becoming the Guild leader - I mean, they're not even around most of the time and she's one of the Big Four along with them. If anything, if they had to choose between Ezra and Lexus right now, I have no doubt that they'll side with Ezra. The only objection to Ezra becoming the Guild leader is...Ezra. :heh:

She's still too 'gung ho' about going on adventures with Natsu, Grey, and Lucy (and Happy). After she's had her fill, she'd make a great Guild leader - just let her get her 'adventuring days' out of the way first. ... wait a minute, she's a Fairy Tail member through and through, her adventuring days will NEVER be over...:heh:

Hnnn, but if Mashima-sensei wants to make Natsu/Lucy happen, making Ezra 'stay at home' is a logical choice...

[Von Himmel]

I object ! D:
*flee b4 teh shipping wars happens

Now if only Luxus can change his personality a little. .

+1. Lucy does seem to have the better chance and normally I don't even root for underdogs to not get dissapointed but Erza just appeals to me much more. So Natsu x Erza ftw and keep her on her adventures with Natsu.

If only Rave Master would get finished translated, then I would know how the mangaka handels Romance at the end of his manga.

[Tempest35]

Yeah but the HaruxElie was shipped from the very first chapter and the only other girl Haru knew was his sister...:heh:

Ezra has what Lucy doesn't - time spent with Natsu. Ezra and Natsu know each other as well as siblings. In a way, I want to see the cast get together, but then again, not really - the dynamics are great as they are. :D A bunch of friends hanging out and having a good time in life.

[MoonMask]

Mistgun will rape! hahaha
He probably won't beat Luxus, but God i still have hope D:

[cloak_and_dagger]

You think so? To me it seems that aside from Makarov he was the strongest...

[Von Himmel]

If only Rave Master would get finished translated, then I would know how the mangaka handels Romance at the end of his manga.
Good thing that my country licenced it then :D I don't remember it well, but Elie lost her memories for a while since Haru's gone and returned when she met Haru some years after the final battle.

Lol at LuciaxElie scene :D

Yeah but the HaruxElie was shipped from the very first chapter and the only other girl Haru knew was his sister...

Which reminds me, love triangle story from Mashima does not end well. There's at least two girls who liked Haru in Rave master except for Elie, but after a while their existence tends to get forgotten easily :(

[Majek]

Bah. It's good to see Erza pwn but now there's even more fighters for FT and those 2 are still stuck. bah

[Cinocard]

Did you read from the Raw?

At the end they reunited, satisfying.

So the raw is out? I am wondering how Mistgun plays out in this current arc.

Erza is a fan of Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night :D

And the fight is Erza Vs Evergreen.

[Freeter]

Bah. It's good to see Erza pwn but now there's even more fighters for FT and those 2 are still stuck. bah

Those two vs Luxus, calling it now. Once Mistgun and the girls clear out the rest of the junk, it'll happen.

Though I'd rather see Makarov go ballistic on everyone. PO'ed Erza has nothing on the old man :heh:

Lol, I think Erza pwns Giligamesh, she does that with style. :heh:

She pwned Evergreen pretty hard (punch to face :heh: ) , the title of "Fairy Queen" is indeed suited for the strongest Woman in Fairy Tail.

Now Fairy Tail has more potential fighters, especially considering Lluvia.

On a side note; that outfit Erza wears in the color spread is nice. :love:

Another awesome chapter, can't wait to read the crossover too. Lol'd with Luxus rage.

[seiji_kun]

Loved that colorspread. Seeing Gazille on the colorspread, I can't wait to see him teaming up with Natsu. I hope those two are going to team up often. You never know, 2 dragonslayers could hit it of better then Ice and fire. Lluvia should've got a place on it to however.

Erza vs Evergreen. Can you spell ownage? Like expected of the nr 1 female in Fairy Tail. And I go to agree, seeing Luxus rage was hilarious. Though he's seriously underestimating Natsu, didn't even felt mentioning him. Wait till he see him eat his lightning.
