Oda-sensei is creative with character design and clever with how he uses them–not powers. I don;t care that Mashima is a thief either. People shouldn't get so touchy about it. Bleach is a complete Yuyu rip-off but done POORLY. Soul Eater bites everything but is entertaining. It really depends on the way the series uses what it steals.
Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail has been ripping from One Piece right from chapter one. It's not a shock in the least. I began and followed Fairy Tail because I was looking for another One Piece to curb back the weekly wait for new chapters.
If you've followed Fairy Tail this far, One Piece imitation shouldn't phase you at all.

Raw is out on MH.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't really mind Natsu much. Knowing his reckless personality, it's like normal now… The only thing that ticks me is his last minute finishers he seems to reveal out of nowhere. If it's anyone I'm getting tired of, it's Erza. Exluding that one fight in the last arc, she seems either to rely on one hit moves or getting owned(tossed around) quickly after revealing new armors....
As for imitations, Hiro steals from everything. It does not really bug me, but it's a rather nice to notice the obvious ones.
-
! I just hope this isn't going to be a rescue arc.

Hm, well, glad Mashima didn't waste much time with that rather obvious reveal.
Artificial pain surpression…hmm...I think I've seen something very similar very recently... bandwagon jumper
-
Well, whoever called it, congrats. Wendy's a Sky Dragon/Wind Element.
-
So Erza wanted to go the route of Soi Fon, huh?
-

Yeah so have I! Any doctors medical supplies. It's not exactly anything new.
-
! seem's like those two guys weren't really taken out after all since they saved the rest of their asses at the last second and here I was hoping that there would be some sort of back up team but hell this is mashima and we know that he'll probably never let us see other FT members fight UNLESS it has to do with FT being under attack or in a civil war
-
Thank you, Mashima. Just come out and say they're a Dragon Slayer quickly. That's all I wanted of you, and you did not waste my time. ::
-
Pain Supressing Perfume, eh? That's certainly nothing like Vigor-Hormones at all, no siree. Shouldn't be surprising to see any more Ivankov-esque aromas in the near future.
-
Jura is still useful.
-
I'm actually pretty pleased with what Mashima did with the arm severance scene. Losing limbs used to be the cool thing to do, but Kubo has ruined that in Bleach, as of late. He's taken the word of the Black Knight to heart, and made a lost arm nothing but a flesh wound- as long as Haxihime is at the ready. (Plus, Noitra) Fairy Tail isn't taking that route any time soon.
-
We got some unexpected development from Lyon and Gray out of it too. Even with their differences settled, Lyon is still 2x more hardcore, and is willing to take up the jobs no one else wants to do.
-
The cover pages are finally featuring characters from outside Fairy Tail! It'll probably only be the allies, but I'm glad to see the segment return.
Overall, I'm liking where this is going. I just hope they don't spend too much time rescuing Wendy, so Erza can get back on her feet.
-
-
! when jura first showed up I didn't recognise him cause I wasn't used to seeing him bald so I assumed that that monk looking guy with drum stix came to help them out but I knew that would be too good to be true

if dragon slayers can eat the attribute of their own respective magic. i wonder what type of attribute wendy can eat, maybe clouds or air.

Gerard [ ]priceless
but i like the charas of oracon seis…most of them are rly well designed and yeah wendy..okay wasn`t that hard to figure out that she is a dragon slayer or an abnormal child with pure power
but now we can get to the 1 vs 1-3 fights up to the end where wendy shows here magic and natsu will have such an power to destroy one of the oracon seis(i wonder which 1 it will be...the leader,cobra or nightmare[which seemed so far interesting cause of his sleeping habit])
-
NO! NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :sad:!
Happy got kidnapped :shocked:! (Even through it was his own fault…)
Sc**w this alliance! They're pitiful weaklings !
I will save him by myself :ninja:!
(Ahh I liked the belt scene ) -
Mashima doesn't know how to be surprising anymore he just flat out says it now…..I miss RAVE.
-
@Shaman:

If Wendy can eat air then it would be no surprise that she's very powerful. She never runs out of "fuel."

Wendy will be like gohan and become really powerfull only when someone gets really hurt.
-
Wohoo Wendy is the Wind(Sky) Dragon Slayer :D
Great to see Jura and Ichiya are back -

Gerard [ ]Hahaha , man, that's awesome and so spot-on.
Now I'm just waiting for Mist Gun (Gerard) to show up…
-
Mist Gun should of went out on the mission with them. IMO they didn't send out fairy tails "strongest"
-
He'll show up later in this arc for sure. Haven't you been paying attention - we need Gerard in this arc.
I wonder what Makarov and Gildartz are doing though…
-
off topic: Wonder when we'll get to see Elfman in action again?
-
Maybe during a Raven Tail/Fairy Tail war? That's the soonest I could see such a thing possible.
-
Ah, just when you thought some cute female char has the potential to kick arse, the author turns her into dragonboob jr. (w/ healing power and all) and the story into a rescue arc
-

Uhh…have you been reading the same manga?
Lucy, Erza, Mira and pretty much all females in this manga are cute and kick ass.
Besides, I'm pretty sure Wendy is pretty powerful as well - she's a Dragon Slayer after all.
What we need are more badass male characters, actually.
-
LOL
Erza…the female Zoro. -

The explanation given was that it would be preferrable that their representatives get along with each other, and Mistgun has been notoriously difficult to get ahold of anyways. If Makarov could get him to go on any mission that he wanted him to, then most of the arcs could be solved by 'Mistgun shows up, KO's everybody, and leaves,' which wouldn't make for a good story. They probably couldn't get ahold of Mistgun in time, and besides, no matter who he was teamed up with, he would not know them very well and probably do his own thing even if he did know them well, so he would not work well together with any of the other members. Given that these six people control a third of the illegal guilds, probably by fear and power alone, having a group that works well together would be almost necessary.
-
So…Wendy's a dragon slayer.
YOU HAVE FAILED ME, HIRO MASHIMA!!! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM!!!

At least the Oracion Seis would be anihilated in an instant but that wouldn't be fun either….damn.
-
lol Gepetto, the constant criticism of Fairy Tail is really getting to you, isn't it?
-
@Ao:
LOL
Erza…the female Zoro.That's what in my mind too!!
But seriously, Sky dragon slayer?? Wow, just how many type of dragon are there??
btw, a bit dissapointed that Erza will be out of screen for sometime. :getlost: but, that could be mean more screentime for Lucy!! yay -
@Ao:
lol Gepetto, the constant criticism of Fairy Tail is really getting to you, isn't it?
Yes, yes it is.
I've been wondering this for awhile why mashima creates so many unique mages with unique magic some stuff obviously done before in other series. Yet he never seems to have these characters do battles and if they do it's only short lived. Does this mean that mashima is uncapable of being creative with these characters? and would this be the reason why we never see them get a decent fight? yet other authors can create thousands of characters all with their own unique powers and show them pullling out on camera fights not a: see part of characters attack than two pages later same character is defeated. Stuff like that is bullshit.
-
^He's probably hesitant because it's already proven what kind of powers are popular and how to do them well. With a lot of the more creative stuff he comes up with, it's never been done. There's no template for how to do it and Mashima just seems more comfortable putting his own spin on old territory than blazing new paths.
-
I wish he would flesh out his more creative powers.
-
Yes, yes it is.

I hear ya man, but im not sure y an air Dragon Slayer is a healer… I wouldnt expect it to be much use against a Dragon, just seems bizarre? but maybe she'll know (or her cat will know) more about why the Dragon's dissapeared.
btw i died inside a little when i read Oracion seis.... but then it might have proved my earlier theory right and Rave Master is a sequel...
-
Next we'll meet the guild known as Blue Guardian
-
Another thing, was rereading the chapter with the dark guild chart, and methinks that Hades is the leader of Tartaros. From what i could see he wasn't labeled but Hades does belong in Tartaros/ Greek hell
-
Could be, i'm just waiting for a chance to see Elf man and shadow gear in action again.
-
This does seem to be as good a time as any for Jet to start fighting.
-
That's what i've been thinking, the only thing that i'm liking about this arc so far is that leon is in it and that's basically it.
-
Spoiler pic out:
!
Gerard is alive… lulz. -
And that's when the arc went south. Didn't take him long.
-
lol
i see a patern -
That reminds me, Mistgun being Gerard was really disappointing.

Gerard [[B]x]
I just remembered this and started laughing. -
Hold up if i'm not correct isn't that tatoo "design" under the right eye of gerards and this design is under the left eye of mist gun? I bet there twins.
EDIT: I just looked back to confirm this and I was wrong. Well this whole "why does MG look like gerard? will be answer I think the answer is thus: Zeref did infact talk to gerard but gerard never made the tower of paradise it was some other crazy ass zeref worshipper who's body was transformed to look just like gerard conned his friends into staying while the real one had erza leave hopefully to never return. Than gerard joined fairy tail under the name mist gun and the reason why he didn't want anyone to see who he is was for the fact that he would have to explain why he's in the council. Does any of this make sence?
