I think Bixlow and Fried might stil be on the island .
Fairy Taint Discussion II
-
-
That would be cool, cause i've been wanting to see those two fight someone other than a fellow guild member. If FT does win this confrontation I rather have it make sense with equally powerful guild members taking GH down than having the regular crew take them down because they get sudden "power-ups".
-
The only person to ever realy get asspull powerups is Natsu and those are one off , meaning he has shown little growth by his achievements .
-
As much as I appreciate the outcoming of Mest´s true intensions, where the hell did that guy in the tree come all of a sudden?
That´s a little too much out of nowhere.Except that it´s okay.

The reveal was set up in a way for both Mest and the 7th to appear at the same time while not being one and the same, it was presented quite well in my opinion.

You forgot Lucy the sudden combining of two magical powers in the T.O.P arc with jubia and That internet user opening up her true potential. Both of those felt like ass pulls.

The whole 7 kin concept has been foreshadowed. We knew that on the ship there was 6,mest being the ""7th"" was a red herring and a good one at that. Showcasing a new character was surprising but seeing as how we got to see the body in the previous chapter and now a face with the body it makes sense.
-
[ ]"We need to send out an elite team of badasses! Eh, I guess Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Gray and Happy will do, instead of any of our other 40 unique guild members."
[ x] This arc has promise.
[ ]Gerard appears.
[ ]Surprise Dragon Slayer
[ ]Lucy fights another summoner
[]Erza handicaps herself so she can't solo the big bad
[ ]Maybe we should send Gajeel in as surprise backup and have him be awesome.
[x ]Lucy gets naked/someone rips Lucy's shirt off
[ ]"the "enemy" has become an "ally/friend"
[ ]Surprise last boss
[x ]Manly tears
[ ]"This arc blows, I hope the next one is better. Maybe the end can save it."
[ ]Natsu wins by deus ex machina 1 time only powerup.
[ ]"The last arc was kind of lame. I hope the next one is better."
[ ]Arc ends, restart from #1.I agree. The Mest revelation was yet another good twist. I'm very impressed so far.

Also, Lucy gets them from time to time, like when Hibiki downloaded that ridiculous spell into her and caused her to blow the hell out of Angel.
As for the Chapter, I enjoyed it. Turns out Mest is a bad guy, but not a Grimoire Heart. Geeze, the Council needs to get stronger dudes.
Wendy and Pantherlily vs. Azuma should be interesting.
-
@Fire Fist:
Geeze, the Council needs to get stronger dudes.
We know nothing about his fighting capability. We know that he can control memories and teleport himself.
Why are you making assumptions? -
@iSheep:

Why are you making assumptions?I was referring to the fodder we've seen before and the fodder on the ship that just got blown up, not Mest. I'm sure the elites are at least… something.
-
Dammit. Mashima's pretty good at throwing people off.
This chapter comes just as I finished the chapter of Rave involving Musica and Dr. Scheider.
-
@Fire Fist:
I was referring to the fodder we've seen before and the fodder on the ship that just got blown up, not Mest. I'm sure the elites are at least… something.
Two of the biggest guilds in the country were having an all out war and they sent fodder after it was over .
Nirvana was revived and they were nearby , but never lifted a finger .
Somehow I think Hiro is gonna do the same thing he did with Wadda and Blank and simply have the entiere army being completely and utterly powerless on every level .
-
That wasn't a bad twist at all. It was like ppl completely forgot/ignored the scenes with the council talking about taking down FT.
Don't think much of Mest once I saw Pantherlily tell everyone including Mest to stand back so he could handle Azuma lol. He may be strong or an elite but his whole motive being that he wants a promotion, he was sneaking around FT to find dirt on them to shut them down makes me think less of him.
Good chap all in all.
-
I am suprised that I am suprised.
-
another good chapter, mashima got me there, i thought mest was the 7 kin, i didn't expect him to be working for the council.
this azuma guy's design looks good, a very promising arch mashima is setting up.
the hype level of GH is even getting bigger, am expecting big thing's from mashima.
-
I too don't see Mest being a powerful person, but I haven't really thought that he would be since his first appearance. His magic could prove me wrong though; teleportation and memory manipulation are both very powerful skills, so if nothing else he'll prove to be an annoyance. Combat wise I don't see him being able to do much, so he might be partially a gag character just popping around the island trying to ruin things for them.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Naturally I loved the chapter
-
Another great set up chapter. Except for the whole counsil thing with the battleship… We never actually seen their military force outside the arrest of a particular fag. It was a cool way for the 7th guy to make his entrance however. Still, his powers confuse me a bit.... He comes out of trees, and blows shit up.
Mest being part of the council is also nice. For me, it's great that we get to know someone from the actual counsel incase there's an arc centering around them the the future. He's already one of my favorite chracters too.
-
I really think Laxus will come back this arc. He became an S-Class mage once so he probably passed the trial here. He'll arrive along with Fried/Bixlow/Gildartz. Then Makarov will die and hand him the guild o.o
-
It would be kinda strange for him to just show up out of the blue… but then again... Bixlaw and Fried's brief foreshadowing could be (lame) cover-up.
-
You know, this would be more exciting if it weren't going the exact same way as the last super elite Dark Guild. Down to the display of power by destroying an important and powerful element and everything. It's giving a lot of hype Mashima is incapable of living up to.
-
Hmm… have just finally catch up with the latest chapter after several months left.
I would say... this should be a very interesting arc, cause, it looks like Mashima save this for 'last' battle. So, it ought to be great.
The build ups are nice so far....
Especially the part where Gajeel finally accept himself as a Fairy Tail mage.
That, and I love (and squaled) when I saw Levy partnered with Gajeel, seen some of Levy's ability, and her interaction with Gajeel. Aww... my fangirlsm side just squealled in joy!!
Still.. I was hoping Levy would have bigger role, considering it was her, who being the S-class test participant.
And I was hoping to see better battle for Lucy and Cana!! Dangit, I was waiting for the moment, and then.... bam... the 'enemy' team, just forfeited like that. Ugh!! >_<Surprised to see Mira though. ^^
And this latest chapter. Wow.... I thought Mest was one of the bad guys.... well... he is, just... apparently he's one of the council?? Honestly, I didn't saw that coming ^^a
Oh...well... all in all... I'm excited to read next chapter!!
-
! Called it.

Lucky guess. As for the chapter I enjoyed it. Nice twist and a big explosion. The main battle force is arriving fast and the next chapter title sounds action packed. Marakov must already encounter one of them… I think he's in for a beatdown. Interested in seeing how Pantherlily plans on fighting that Grimore Heart guy. I'm guessing Mest should be pretty strong so they can team up together and put up some kind of fight.
-
Well, there certianly are a lot of factions on this island.
1. fairy tail
2. grimoire hearts
3. the council
4. zerefI must admit that I am honestly interested in this arc so far. please mashima, buck the trend and DON'T make it sucky.

damn dude, nice call.

Just thought of something… And don't hit me for this, but has anyone noticed that Tenrou Island has a giant tree on it, there's a sleazy but (supposedly) weak Government Agent investigating the people on the island, wanting a promotion, and that innocent people on a battleship were just blown up? Does this all sound vaguely familiar?
-

And a black-haired beauty with a troubled past connected to said island?
Doesn't ring a bell.
-
Honestly , unless Mest decides it is best for his career to kill everyone on the island including Fairy Tail , just to dispose of GH and get his promotion , then I am calling bullshit .
-
That's a good point. I don't think Etherion was damaged or broken during the ToP Arc… what's to stop the new council from firing it on Tenrou Island? Fairy Tail aside, it'd also get rid of Zeref and Grimoire Heart.
Mashima could take the predictable route though that they do fire Etherion, but Zeref or one of the Grimoire Heart (probably Hades) somehow absorbs the shot.
We'll just have to see.
-
I still hope that Hiro isn't going to ruin it so far it has a really big chance of becoming in good arc. I get this little vibe that Makarov is going to die and FT gets a hard beating, has Hiro the guts to do something like this.
On a side node:
On this island is the grave of the founder of Fairy Tail, the guild has a dark secret, Zeref was reborn and is on this island. Could it be that Zeref is the founder of Fairy Tail? -
Just got done watching episode 56 and they actually made sense of racers ability. It's not that he slows the area around him down but the people inside of the area.
@Jacko: he's done it plenty of times in RAVE.
-
Then he has the same ability as Foxy .
But he stil sucks .
-
Foxy's ability was different, racer can actually hit the person and have them feel it, while Foxy's had a delay to it, when time returned the person would feel every single blow that was struck. Just like how Dio's stand The World worked.
-
Anyone noticed the Elsa puppet in Natsu's house?
-
Uh, wasn't that last week's special chapter? Far less exciting than this week's one, bub
-
Seen the episode ,the fight was lame but to be fair the animators had little to work with.
Woah, Racer was such a creepy looking kid!
I think next week begins the Lucy-Angel fight, which was my favourite of the arc. -
Uh, wasn't that last week's special chapter? Far less exciting than this week's one, bub
I know… But this week's chapter wasn't actually that good to me...
Right now I'm experiencing what made me stop reading Rave... The repetition of the repetition of a scheme from the beginning - only with new characters (FT-only instead of Alliance of Light, Grimoire Heart instead of Oración Seis/Naked Mummy instead of Eisenwald, Zeref himself instead of Zeref's magic instead of Zeref himself instead of Zeref's magic).
I just hope Mashima finally gets to tell us something usefill about the Dragons and the Dragonslayers without simply presenting us some more Dragonslayer. Sadly, he failed to do so in the Edolas arc... The second thing that keeps me reading is in fact the hope for some Lucy/Elsa/Juvia/Kana fanservice...
-
The edoras arc wasn't about the dragonslayers it was about the cats and even the people who hated that arc would agree.
-
The edoras arc wasn't about the dragonslayers it was about the cats and even the people who hated that arc would agree.
I know what it finally was about… But Mashima gave some hints that the arc could reveal some information about Dragons and the Dragonslayers when Wendy became a FT member and Gildarts returned - and revealed to Natsu that he met the Darkness/Black Dragon... And then the Dragonslayers were said to be lured to Edolas...
THAT was the potential Mashima gave away for making Mistgun return to his home universe, and the Exceed go to Earthland...
Got it now?
-
I have a feeling wherever the dragons are and the whole story concept involving them is going to be a lot more interesting than Edoras, which says a lot for me because I loved Edoras. Zeref, the dragons, and Raven Tail are the 3 biggest overarching story themes this series has. Each one is going to need it's own arc in full attention, and the arcs are going to be amazing (the Zeref one already is). Edora's was Mystogan's thing, plus it's still too soon for the dragons imo.
I get what you're saying of how it disappointed you, but that's just not what that arc was for. Give it some time, we'll get our dragon arc

I would'nt be surprised if Zeref and the dragons dissapearance are connected somehow. I would say Raven Tail will be a stand alone arc.
The dragons though will be the final story of the series, with the 3 dragonslayers in the guild, some kind of propehcy involving them, the foreshadowing of the black/dark dragon, and Lucy's mother dying/dissapearing the same time they did.
We also still have another dark guild to go after this(assuming Grimore Heart are even defeated this arc) And the new evil council may have to be dealt with -maybe rescuing Gerard somehow(unless some evil force busts him out)
What else should there be… the quatro cerebus guild(the guy with the collar)- although they will be allies rather than enemies of course.
That's all I can think of, the author could of course create something new as well, this series won't be ending anytime soon anyway.
23 volumes so far. -
It depends on how long Hiro can retcon things before he gets bored and breezes through everything , like in Rave . There he had Demon Card with it's new OS allied with the Blue Guardians and the 4 Demon lords and Shakuma…..and Lucia destroyed nearly the whole DK himself , Julius deserted , Haja got killed by Sieg in a side quest , BG were defeated too easily and the demon lords all got breezed through as well .
The man does know how to set up conflicts , he just gets bored .
Plus I stil cannot forgive him for Wada and Blank .

23 volumes so far.Yeah, Rave was 35 volumes when it ended, and I think Fairy Tail will surpass even that. I'm sure he has a lot more ideas for his story, or at least I hope he does. I'm hoping the 3rd dark guild of the alliance plays a big role down the line. I kinda like that they've only been mentioned once, that way there's more mystery to them. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out they're the strongest of the 3, which will probably say something after we see the full potential of GH. And the black dragon will play a huge role given the dragon mythology Mashima is using. I'm hoping he utilizes the gold dragon too.
And as much as everyone hates Gerard, I would like if he came back towards the end. Definitely not an arc dedicated to rescuing him or even focusing on him though, lol. I think his character still has some unfinished business since he has no memories.
-
I am interested in seeing Tartarus, too, but I'm more interested in Raven Tail. Ivan has to know quite a few things about Fairy Tail, and could easily use those things against his Father and the guild.
Also, while I doubt Mest has access to Etherion, I wouldn't doubt it if the Council does decide to fire it on the Island, to get rid of Zeref at the very least, if not Grimoire Heart. We never actually got to see its destructive power since the only thing it has been fired at so far was a tower built specifically to receive its blast.
Actually, that could actually be a way for Makarov to go out with a bang… He uses all his power to absorb the blast of Etherion and dies from it.

I am mildly surprised that Grimore Heart is'nt the strongest but it does'nt really matter. Again we are assuming that they are defeated here though while it is possible they might not be.
@iMustang:And as much as everyone hates Gerard, I would like if he came back towards the end. Definitely not an arc dedicated to rescuing him or even focusing on him though, lol. I think his character still has some unfinished business since he has no memories.
If Gerard stayed out of the story for this entire arc and maybe the next and then came back people would'nt really mind him.
The reason for the dislike is that he was in too many consecutive arcs and people got sick of always seeing him.
@Fire Fist:I am interested in seeing Tartarus, too, but I'm more interested in Raven Tail. Ivan has to know quite a few things about Fairy Tail, and could easily use those things against his Father and the guild.
That's something i did'nt get, what type of information can he have to 'bring down' the guild….how can it?
I guess we'll see later....if at all -
That's something i did'nt get, what type of information can he have to 'bring down' the guild….how can it?
I guess we'll see later....if at allWell, he's Makarov's son and a former Fairy Tail Guild Member… he has to have some information about Fairy Tail. Hey may not have the complete picture, since he's "using" Gajeel as a Double Agent, but he may have information on at least Gildarts and Makarov.
-
Sure are some short memories in here.
I would not get my hopes up overmuch.
-
So wait , Tartarus is another one of those three evil guilds right ?
Well…...let's hope they don't go the Blue Guardians route .
-
what was exactly wrong with the blue guardians?
-
I'm still far behind on Rave :( Don't go spoiling everything now. :(
Last chapter I read was when they visited Nakajima's home village.
Let was probably my favorite character until Mashima got tired of drawing him and turned him into a bishonen :(
