Oh just right now , it came to my mind a really good question .. In Edolas Faust was Jellal's father right ? When Natsu came told to Makarov (Gramps) that he might be Faust in that world ... So it means that Makarov (Gramps) has a child named Jellal in Earthland

? So Jellal is Makarov's kid?!

immblueversion · 2011-09-24, 09:07

It was never stated in the manga that Faust was Makarov, so whether or not Earthland Jellal is of Earthland Makarov's kin may not even be relevant.

It's not relavant, the anime just thought to toss a herring like that. It's an interesting thought, but not something to mentally stew over...

In other news ..... GILDARTZ!!

Anyway, I loved the episode. I'm glad that the studio is padding the fights or else we can easily get through 4 chapters per ep and that's bad. In a fight like Team Cana vs Team Fried, it really didn't matter overall how the fight progressed since it's a low-tier fight. Natsu vs Gildartz, however, is a high-tier fight so they have to stay close to how was done in the manga, throwing in a few more moves and exchanges to flesh it out.

And I'm sticking with 'z' over 's' for Gildartz because I like my xtremely kool letterz.

Off to S-class exam. Melting on the way LOL
Finally on the island. Everyone picked their route.
Lucy & Cana were sure out of luck (at first).. but the battle was funny though! ^^
Natsu got Gildarts in his route... now that's gonna be an interesting fight!

Bombo · 2011-09-24, 14:01

i'm shockd...they didn't change OP before arc and after arc started too :O ,.~~

thundrakkon · 2011-09-24, 14:09

For long running series, changes to the OP and ED usually occur quarterly. That means, you won't get a change until the first week of October, January, April, and July.

Eri Kitamura vs Eri Kitamura!
I liked how in the manga the writer threw in that little nod in to Cana and Aquarius having the same voice actress.

haegar · 2011-09-25, 05:35

well, watchin the girls kinda harem no jutsu freedo somewhat makes up for the late manga chapter

They did a nice job with the pacing, lookin forward to next ep

Bern-san · 2011-09-25, 07:13

good episode, I liked the way they extended the fight.
wonder how Natsu will handle Gildarts, I'm hoping to hear a new and awesome track during their combat

to be quite honest, I don't want a new opening. There are many surprises and epic moments in this arc and knowing how spoilerish FT's openings are...

Wouldn't it be worth it not to have to listen to that song anymore, though?

MAX_COLA_POWER! · 2011-09-25, 11:45

You notice how Lucy and Cana were dodging, Lucy's breasts were bouncing all around while Cana's stayed as still as a statue? I don't know about you, but me thinks yon drunken harlet has had some implants done.

I think I might be developing some form of Stockholm Syndrome since the song is starting to grown on me.

The amount of cleavage in this latest episode has reached epic proportions and in particular the growth of Lucy's aforementioned capacity has been quite generous lately so nothing surprises me any more on that front.

FlareKnight · 2011-09-25, 23:28

In terms of a new OP I really want one. Really all you have to do is not watch the OP

. Long as the song is better I can just switch screens until it's over instead of skipping it entirely.

Crimson Cloak · 2011-09-26, 03:33

Good news for you guys then, cause the OP and ED is supposed to change next episode.

Indeed, 99 has a new opening/ending, and they're spoiler filled as usual.

larethian · 2011-09-30, 23:18

Finally, we get a real nice OP after the last one. And now they resort to padding

The show summary seems a little off in its flow though.

ED is free of spoiler but preview is a total badass spoiler.

thundrakkon · 2011-09-30, 23:27

Wow, Gildarts is a beast! Compared to all the mages we have seen so far, Gildarts just outclasses all of them combined. I wonder if he is the strongest mage in Earthland?

Also, it seems that Fairy Tail is adopting the One Piece approach, with the first 4 minutes devoted solely to recaps and the opening credits. I was not too happy with it in One Piece, but the pacing in this episode was rather good.

Not much else happens in this episode. We get Kana and Lucy fanservice, introductory fights for Erza's and Mirajane's opponents, and the rest was on Gildart's and Natsu's fight, with good flashbacks of their earlier times together.

I do really feel sorry for Natsu in the end. To be overwhelmed and feel powerless against an undefeatable force really feels hopeless. At least now we can be assured that Natsu will grow exponentially stronger soon.

Spoiler for Episode 99:

Acadia · 2011-09-30, 23:42

I think this 4 minute recap had more to do with this episode being the first real episode of the new season. People who might have tuned out on previous eps might have been curious in the new op & end songs. I don't think they'll do that recap for any of the eps here on out.

Oh and Gildarts. Oh man what a fantasitic ep. Need to start a new poll asking "Seriously folks, did you cry by the end of the ep or not? Tell the truth!" Haha.

What is curious to me, however, is with Gildarts there, how could the enemy of this arc have any chance? I bet they will somehow contain him or teleport him first.

Could it be that the magic council will have a hand in this arc? They all appear like corrupt politicians in the earlier episode.

Ash Falls Town Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Adelaide Age: 36	Spoiler for Episode 99: Spoiler for OP + ED: Ah it's nice having a good opening after Rock City Boy. Also besides Ultear we have another group of enemies who presumably mess up the exam. They look interesting though. The death boy seems interesting as well. Ending is Natsu and Happy which is sort of fair considering how little he appeared in his previous ending. His running seems badly animated though... And the scene with Makarov spying on him is weird. Anyway it was annoying how they had such a large recap at the beginning but the two battles were great to make up for it. It's good to see Erza doing well but it's kind of sad having Juvia not put her heart in it. Lisanna's fighting was nice though. Natsu vs Gildarts was great though and funny with a nice flashback. I hope we get to see Elfman + Evergreen vs Mirajane next episode but they might skip it. __________________ MAL Profile Last edited by Ash Falls Town; 2011-09-30 at 23:57.
