Skip to 2:28 for the fight and imagine the Black Knight winning at the end of that. That's the level of absurdity I'm talking about.

"It's because it's Erza"

Well, that explains everything

Technically though, they still lost(?) because Face was activated?

It looks like the timer ran out before Minerva could kill her, so Kyouka was already dead when Minerva stabbed her. I'm guessing Hiro didn't want Minerva to kill Kyouka in cold blood.

Kafriel · 2014-10-12, 06:12

Kyouka's link magic only sped up the counter at the cost of her life - even if she died before the counter could be stopped, I suppose the face countdown would keep going, just at a slower rate than before.

immblueversion · 2014-10-12, 08:38

I kind of accepted the absurdity of the chapter, but it still felt too short for my tastes. All we got in terms of events was:

1. Senseless Erza beats up Kyouka.
2. Senseless Erza BEATS Kyouka.
3. Minerva stabs Kyouka.
4. Time runs out.

On the other hand, I knew Erza's magic eye had nothing to do with this. Unless Hiro Mashima decides to backtrack and say it WAS her eye that allowed her to see in a later chapter or Q&A.

As I understood it, the link made it so that Kyouka would die when the timer ran out, but if Kyouka was killed before the countdown was finished then the timer would stop. There was no point in rushing to kill her otherwise.

So the 'extreme pain' part of this mini-arc entitled 'extreme pain' lasted only a couple of chapters even though this part started in chapter 395? Huh.

Whatever, as long as this means no more Erza for a while, I'm good with it.

Magic about to go poof!? Time to parteh!

You forget, though, that the main hero of the story still has his fight, with the big bad boss, no less. Furthermore there was never any clarity on what Face exactly does and how it does it, that lack of information leaves far too many possibilities open.

Can't, remember they closed off the portal to Edolas FOREVER.

(at least that's what I remember.... lol)

Plus, it's pretty tough to move ALL FACE within the time limit, it's all over the planet (or was it just the continent). Unless you can travel at the speed of light, it's impossible to reach all FACE and move them before they all go off.

I think the best opponents Erza can have are the ones who use swords as well, like the one in the Movie, iirc the fight was good.

Eh, Erza was running away for most of it since her weapons kept disappearing on her.

Yeah, there's always something with the character having struggles in defeat the enemy at first, but at the end of the battle, she use the wedding dress and the sword and I found that cool

and Erza got another motivation instead of Friends power which makes the battle different and insteresting instead of the last battle.

I didn't remember that part

ImperialFlameGod8190 · 2014-10-20, 05:23

chapters out hm dont know what to think about it. Not horrendous but really not good either.

immblueversion · 2014-10-20, 07:01

Well, it looks like we won't know what'll be happening about Face just yet. Then again, we did get a neat fight out of this chapter. I was nearly upset when Natsu tried to keep Sting and Rogue out of the action, but Sting sure turned that around. The Twin Dragons will probably not stand out on top at the end of this fight, but I say they should get as much love as they can while it lasts.

Still don't know what this "Magna Carta" is, but now that I know what direction the story is going in now, I'm starting to get ideas. In real life, it's a charter that was meant to limit the King of England's powers and protect the rights of his subjects. Maybe this has to do with Mard Geer (the Underworld King) or E.N.D.'s book.

Fenrir_valindri · 2014-10-20, 10:41

I have to admit, that was pretty clever of Sting, playing on Natsu's competitive nature.

Kafriel · 2014-10-20, 13:17

Acnologia actually speaking was a bit of a surprise...and I do wonder, can he still use dragon slaying magic when fighting versus dragons? As for Mard Geer...he's rather weak for a dark guild boss - he took a beating from the spirit king and now he's getting tossed around by the trip dragons...looking forward to his ANNNNGRY mode, although a small part of me expects this to be a plot device to get rid of two certain dragon slayers, whose fate is most likely to fall unconscious after weakening this villain enough for Natsu to punch in the face.

I'd hardly call Mard Geer weak for a dark guild boss. Taking some hits from the Spirit King of all people probably isn't something to feel bad about, and he came out of it not only nearly unbothered, but able to shrug off several Natsu punches and later casually block one of his kicks and then drop him through the foundation. Not to mention Sting and Rogue weren't really doing all that well against him earlier.
