I bet Raven Tail could be an ally, not an enemy. They're probably trying to make Fairy Tail lose quickly so they can be spared whatever the followers of Zeref are planning.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ivan went hero after both his father and son disappeared. He did make his guild go legit. Makarov and Laxus were presumed dead for a decade... this would have been devastating to Ivan. Could Ivan be pulling a Snape? Pretending to be a Death Eater? Those dark wizards and their infiltration of governments.... |

FUCK YES! W-SUMMON! And Cancer being actually useful and awesome in a fight!
Knew it had to happen eventually, and FINALLY a fight where Lucy acts badass. Even if she loses (and it looks like she might lose, or at least take a beating, to save Asuka), I think I can tolerate it now. I'm actually really eager to see this fight animated, though I have a feeling the anime will take a break or do filler before hitting this arc. And we get a hint as to the purpose of the tournament: it does relate to Zeref. Something about matured fruit beginning to ripen. Does it refer to Fairy Tail being there? After all, Zeref has some connection to Natsu (which might have some connection to Lucy as well). Is it the fact that they are stronger now and proving it? Or is the spent magic power being absorbed by the "fruit" and growing? And I have a feeling that, Mavis will sacrifice herself this arc. At least do something to where she has to go away or is captured or something. I don't see her hanging around past this arc. |

I don't think she will sacrifice herself, I don't think she can. It seems she can't affect the outside world much in her state, just interact with Fairy Tail. I wonder if Lucy's dad was ever a mage. Her mom was. What if... nah. He could be the dude in the bunny suit or the guy in the armor...nah. The anime has to go on Naruto style filler for 12 or more episodes. They could have done filler before beginning this arc but they can pull it off. Ichiya, Lyon, the Tower of Heaven trio, Exceed, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, other Fairy Tail members may get episodes/mini-arcs about their exploits before the core FT members disappeared. Oh yeah, I wonder how the Edolas people are doing... |

What does it say it involves? I would expect it to be about the guild during the time skip; how Droi got fat, how Reedus got thin, how Macao became guild master, and Al and Bisc's wedding. Maybe the first filler will be about Romeo becoming a mage and searching for Natsu and the rest.

Oh wow, Lucy actually dominated this fight!
But going by the next chapters title looks like she will give up or something =/ That's lame! Makarov, 1st! Just what the hell are you doing! You are high class magicians, how can you not notice that especially when Lucy did! Also what are Aizack and Bisca doing? Shouldn't they occasionally look at their daughter and notice hair near by?

On a more general note, a lot of people on the internet seem to be calling Flare weak just because Lucy's getting the upper hand on her, which is probably a disservice to Flare. Lucy just got a massive power up that lets her casually summon multiple spirits at a time, when before it was impossible for her in any combat worthy form. Flare on her part casually jumped above and out of the way of Taurus's swing, casually blocked Scorpio's sandstorm shot, and either evaded, or tanked the combo attack without damage. Note that by virtue of Lucy powering up, all her spirits should be powered up as well. Cancer cutting her hair just pissed her off, and she can not only send her hair through the ground to attack, she can send it the through the ground the very large distance to the stands to threaten Asuka. That's enough to curb-stomp Lucy pre-power up. As it stands, Lucy didn't even so much have the upper hand as she was fighting evenly with Flare. |

Well, in the case of that one chapter, it really did happen. The Japanese title really did translate to "Sky Dragon Grandeeney" and was changed to "Porlyusica."

Face glyphs were characteristic of the people of Mildea in RAVE; I assume Jellal was given his as an homage to Sieghart from said series.

So basically it's some character designs that Mashima considered, and discarded for post time skip Jellal and Meledy. |
