But yeah, I'm REALLY pleased with this show. I really hope it continues for a long time. It's got solid plots, character development AND animation. It's been a long time since I've seen an ongoing shounen anime with all three of these features.

^ Seconded...even if this show doesn't have the best animation around, it has improved tons since the beginning, and the characters are simply amazing! Plot's pretty good too, with a limited amount of WTF moments and a proper background for all the important characters.

I had suspision of Laxus being dragon slayer since last preview, but was not aware of it till then. Nice twist^^
He sure is a power monster 0_o I wonder how come Erza is fine, shouldn't she get killed by beig hit my maximum power of her own?

Actually I really got disappointed by that... last episode had a build up that it could kill her and I expected something to happen to preverent it but in the end nothing really happened
Anyway was good to see transformed Mirjana again, looks like she has full control of her power again. I feared that it might have been just a moment of power when she fought Freed. Glad it wasn't. Hope she will own some more in the future I actually I would love to see her fight Laxus. Wonder how it would go.

It seems like there is a limit how much damage those things can put out. Erza is crazy, she took like 200 of those lacrima and survived. That was enough to kill at least 100 people, since 1 just messes you up really bad... 2 would be lethal.
So, the spell protecting them probably had a cap. Taking out 200 is the same as taking out 1. |

My theory is that the amount of damage you get doesn't stack.
I.e. if you destroyed 100 at the same time you get the same amount of damage back on you as if you destroyed 1. When Laxus was saying she wouldn't survive destroy so many of them, I think he was either thinking she would do them one at a time, or maybe he was just ignorant. Honestly, since it's an electrical attack, that makes some physical sense. Beyond a certain point the energy will just flow through you into the ground... Damage would be more dependent on total duration than the total voltage. Okay, now I'm really over-analyzing this

It's not directly voltage that kills someone, it's CURRENT. It only takes .015 amps across the heart to kill someone. The formula for calculating current (amps) is thus: Voltage/Ohms = Amperes If anything, Erza could have survived because her metal body armor channeled the bulk of the electrical charges away from her body's internals, much like a car protects you from lightning (assuming you're INSIDE it) by routing the electricity through the steel chassis. So taking into account both her dry state and the fact that she was wearing a ton of metal body armor, she could have easily survived something like 10,000,000 Volts (a lightning strike). If she hadn't had armor she would have been fried, but I'm sure that her armor helped quite a bit.

But all this is moot since the tru fax is that she survived because of the plot armor and nothing else.

Well, let's say that Ezra DID die from this...how many of use would praise Mashima for being realistic in his portrayal of electricity vs how many would try to lynch him for killing off Ezra in such a manner when dying back in the tower that way would have been much more pivotal?

Granted, i do think their might be some merit in the idea that the damage doesn't stack so whether you hit them all at once or just one doesn't matter... |

I still would prefer to see her in light coma at least.

Okay... even if Erza's armor acted as a faraday cage, others took out multiples as well, maybe not 200 but in the dozens. Damage cap seems more plausible. |
