Fairy Tail Anime Episode Discussion Thread [Episode 165 and Onward]

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep93:

I have to say one thing....Is Mystogan out of his freaking mind!? What an unbelievable guy. He puts himself through the wringer to protect Earthland from Anima and now plans on sacrificing himself to help smooth the transition fro Edolas? How much more self-sacrificing can the guy get? Glad that Panther Lily gave him a piece of his mind since someone had to. He's the most suited to leading the country and would be more accepted by the people. The prince comes back to Edolas to lead his people into a new age.

A pretty good effort by the Dragon Slayers to win that fight. Nothing like teamwork to win the day. The triple roar was also pretty impressive since if that had hit directly it would have ended things.

No shock that everyone is freaking out. The army ran off and the Edolas Fairy Tail is also losing their cool. While it's been running out magic has been such an important part of their world and lives, no wonder that they are unable to be calm. While it is a pretty traumatic situation, I'm with Mystogan that it is for the best. They can't restore the lost magical power and certainly can't steal from Earthland to support themselves. If it's going to run out anyways might as well do it all at once to prevent further fighting to scramble after the few bits of it remaining.

Ah man, THEY ALWAYS LEAVE THE BEST PART FOR NEXT WEEK!>.<, I REALLY wanna see what's gonna happen now. If the DS vs. Fart (that's my name for Faust) was well made, I wanna see that other scene as soon as possible.

You should know by now not to watch the previews.

Does anyone know if we going straight into the next manga arc after next week episode?

I don't read the managa, but it looks like this "Edolas" arc is ending.

Nice teamwork by the dragon slayers to take out Faust. Of course everyone would freak out that the magic is being lost. Where was everyone running to tough? Lol at Mystogan's idea to fix it, glad Lily told him straight. The previews always ruin it though, each time i say i wont watch them but i always end up doing so.

Haven't had the chance to watch the episode yet, but for those of you still wondering about the whole Aya Hirano thing, here's an update:

What's up with nearly everyone apparently having an injury above their right eye? Does the author know no other way to make someone look injured?

Impossible to say at this point. Maybe it'll jump straight to the next manga arc, or we'll get some filler episodes.

No we aren't. Next episode is 94. Episode 95 has the same title as chapter 199, and the next arc doesn't start until chapter 201.

So the last of the wrap up and at least some interlude will occur with episode 95. The news that we'll be getting the next arc just states "September" and episode 95 would be the first episode of September. So they can either move into the next arc with episode 96, or they can have a couple of filler episodes first. Either way, the answer to your question is no the next arc will not be starting with episode 95.

So true. I, like most people, just can't help myself from taking a peek (unless I marathon through a series).

So it looks like we will lose Mystogan no matter which way the story goes. Mystogan is bright in some areas but not so bright in others. However, if he is truly of the same mind as Jellel, then this could all be a ploy, and he is just pretending in order to gain the sympathy of everyone (I really doubt this, though).

Wow! Awesome fighting scenes! Sky, Iron & Fire dragon magic vs the king.
Mystogan & his bright idea, wonder how the nation's gonna take it all but it sure ended the conflict quick ^^
Don't think it was the smartest thing to do, but it sure was brave.

[saravis]

93 was a cool episode, my only complaint is that the King's defeat wasn't as satisfying as it should have been for how annoying he was. I would have preferred Natsu falcon punch him out of the mecha rather than just yank him out. That King needed to feel pain and lots of it.

Wendy is turning into a true Dragon Slayer Wizard. I think this is the hardest battle she has ever been in where she has taken significant damage and she was able to pull through. I can see her having more confidence after this battle and also coming out of it stronger. She couldn't use any offensive magic before and now she Roar and i mean really ROAR and shes found her role as a supportive magician to support her friends which is perfect for her. She use to cry and cower and now shes stepping out into the front lines to do battle. I think she will develop even faster now and discover that she actually does have offensive magic she just has to tap it. Having a Sky Dragon power over air is very powerful, hell she could suck the air out of an entire area is she wanted. So kudos to her for stepping up her game.

Also, is Mystogen fucking insane after all that he is going to sacrifice himself to smooth the transition into world with no magic and where humans and exceeds live peacefully. He has earned the right to lead.

I guess that Meme I read was true: Yelling in animé makes you stronger. In Wendy's case, it makes you stronger, and it makes you worry the poor lass will get a sore throat .

Spoiler for Ep94:

Not a bad Fairy Tail farewell for Mystogan. Sad to lose another great member, but he will be the ruler of a kingdom that needs guidance badly. I'd give Natsu credit for holding back using his magic in the fight vs Mystogan, but really that rampage of his probably was digging into the minimal amount of magic he still had. A good way to get the people behind him and luckily Anima sending them back actually made for the perfect win without needing anyone to die. You'd think Mystogan would have come up with that kind of plan, but no one is perfect.

Poor Wendy....can't even intimidate a child . Gajeel had to back her up there.

Everyone getting their quick goodbyes with their doubles. Gray is right of course that Fairy Tail doesn't need magic to remain a guild. It's about their bonds and not their abilities.

Interesting twist with all the Exceeds coming along. If he wasn't set on Panther Lily then he would have a lot of options now for his cat .

And that pretty much wraps up this arc minus the stuff next episode. Overall pretty eventful. Wendy has made serious steps as a mage, Lucy got a fancy new weapon, Mystogan left, and Happy/Carla got to meet their people/family.

[thundrakkon]

A semi-sweet ending to this saga. As one thing ends, another begins. I still don't understand how Panther Lily, if he does end up as Gajeel's cat, will be flying Gajeel around without it looking kind of bad. I'll miss Mystogan, but he was not around much in the first place.

With all the cats following to Earthland, they will have to start anew and build thier civilization in a strange land where they are not all powerful. I wonder if they have other types of magical powers?

As for the previews (spoilers as usual):

Spoiler for previews:

Lisanna!!!!!

Finally, we will get some story on her. I am surprised that she will be sucked up into the Anima as well. That probably means that she is from Earthland originally. Now the question is, how come? Wasn't there a body and corpse of Lisanna dying? ... OK, I just checked with episode 24 again (tears, stop will you please), and they never did show a body. Lisanna just flew into the bushes, and then you see them at her grave. The grave is just a tombstone, without a mound of dirt like you would normally see if they buries someone. I also checked episode 27 with Natsu and the tombstone (stop tears, just stop), and it did not indicate anything about a body.

It could be possible that she survived and was transported to Edolas, but I would be surprised her brother and sister would not frantically look for her body.

Either way, yay, Lisanna returns. Now, Lucy will finally have a real challenger. She went on an S-class mission, so she probably is a really strong mage. Also, does this mean that in Edolas, there might never have been a Lisanna counterpart? Either way, we'll probably get a lot of answers in the next episode or two.

Once again, woohoo!

[FlareKnight]

Now that I think about it one thing I'm kind of disappointed about was a lack of a farewell between Wendy and Mystogan. This arc started with them reuniting and almost seems like it was forgotten about. I mean technically she did say goodbye to the other Jellal, but still....

Will say that previews in Fairy Tail might be best not watched to sustain some surprises. Though in that case can't watch anything but the episode content .

[Forever]

Lisanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The preview is the best!!!!

Slightly disappointed natsu didnt use magic in the fight against mystogan, would have been more realistic loss.
